Azureus has the Ono Plugin that you might want to try. It uses CDN redirection information to identify and give connection priority to geographically nearby peers. I haven't heard of any similar efforts for other clients.
I hate the search bar in Firefox too, so I deleted it and set up keyword searches for the half-dozen search engines I use regularly. (If you're not familiar with this FF function, right-click on any search box and select "add a keyword for this search."
For example, "g" is my google keyword. To google something, I type g something
The summary *is* a bit skimpy on important details.
A - My brother and my parents, travelling in separate vehicles, arrived at my house at the same time. B - Therefore, my brother's Ferrari and my parents' RV both travel at the same speed.
If the laptop is to be owned by the company, get something in writing or at least a verbal contract. If your boss is good enough to offer you hardware for your dedicated service, he doesn't sound like the kind of guy to stab you in the back with it.
A better idea would be a direct payment or at least a voucher towards a personally-owned but for work purposes laptop. ("Here's $1000. Spend as much as you want over that amount towards the system you'd like best.")
Indeed. Props to Timothy Zahn for producing the most enjoyable if nearly literary material in the group, but unlike the Hitchhikers' Guide, books from the Star Wars, Star Trek, and Forgotten realms series will never be listed on countless authoritative lists of "essential books to read" or "worlds greatest literature."
Marksmanship of imperial forces is easily explained by the steamroller principle. If you have a seemingly endless supply of soldiers (and you are not overly concerned with casualties), it is not important to outfit them with anything more than mediocre equipment. The cost savings in ammunition and equipment allows the empire to readily equip new conscripts or "clones", as it were.
This concept has historically worked adequately enough for China and Russia. It's a small irony that the AK-47, a communist-bloc weapon designed to be the ultimate bargain-basement firearm, was extremely competitive with much more expensive counterparts in the US/NATO arsenal.
In other words, US gamers are typical of the general US population, such that
- most (60%ish) are overweight
- they are far more likely to be depressed than counterparts from almost every other country
- the average age is about 35
Blowing up surface targets is rudimentary. Blowing things that are underground, or particularly, underground in reinforced bunkers is inherently difficult. This bomb will supposedly do the latter 5-10 times more effectively than its precursor.
Desire2Learn -- the competitor -- supports the integration of various RT conferencing options. At the college where I teach, the Elluminate module can be "snapped in" to any course if the instructor so desires. In fact, (with a bit of very basic coding), any web-based service can be added to a course as a page widget.
Also, re: suckage and cost At my institution, we went for a 3rd part closed source solution because said 3rd party could be relied on for support and also held more responsible for shortcomings than grad students. A large part of the suckiness of the program is due to bloat (from trying to please a vast array of customers with a single product). I don't think the logic behind that decision was watertight... but there is at least some method behind the madness.
No - I always go through the college's in-house service. Copyright is rigidly enforced, and makes up most of the costs I've stated.
I have three official college coursepaks on my desk for courses that I'll be teaching in the fall. All of them are over an inch thick, and none of them are over $35.
Serious breaches of public safety should be dealt with by security and/or the police. There's no sense in crippling technology that is necessary to the greater student body in order to make things difficult for a few stray pervs.
Who charges $0.75 per page for coursepaks? I've taught at two large colleges, and my cost has always been 15 to 20 cents per page including covers and binding.
Although I'm generally shifting to open-source, online, and original materials as much as possible, coursepaks are a good middle ground that cost students a mere fraction of what they'd pay for hardcover equivalents from the publishers.
I think we all agree, the past is over. This is still a dangerous world. It's a world of madmen and uncertainty! and potential mental losses.
Rarely is the question asked Is our children learning? Will the highways of the internet become more few? How many hands have I shaked?
They misunderestimate me. I am a pitbull on the pantleg of opportunity. I know that the human being and the fish can coexist.
Families is where our nation finds hope Where our wings take dream. Put food on your family! Knock down the tollbooth! Vulcanize society! Make the pie higher! Make the pie higher!

It works like a charm.

No logical gaps between A & B there. Move along.
You think that math is troubling? I'm still trying to figure out how to divide a group of 16 people into thirds without staining the carpet.
Better than Fullcolondashers.
CTRL-+ just makes "erection" bigger. Since you ask: yes, it's hard.
There goes your $1250.

Oh dont worry my friend I hate all punctuation equally after all my meaning is quite clear enough without those lazy good for nothing marks and signs
"Bomb" is a bit of a misnomer. This is more of a flare/chaff countermeasure.
Call it biological countermeasures or BCM if you need an accurate and succinct term for generating buzz.

I'd be more excited about Fable II coming to the PC than hearing about another 360 exclusive.

If you might be so bold.
If you believe the urban legend, it was the lack of monkey condoms that started the whole HIV thing.
I asked Bing "Why does Microsoft bias their search results?"
The top link returned was
"Why are you still living in your parents' basement, whining your days away? Do something with your life."
I call foul. But then again, Google gives me the same search result.

But I don't want to be replaced by a short perl script and a couple hundred gigs of prior probability distributions!

There's an app for that.
