I use PhoneTray Pro (http://www.phonetray.com/). It works pretty well for me. It has black and white lists and an online blacklist. You just need a cheap voicemodem (get the one they recommend) and you're off to the races. I get 1 ring on blocks, then they hear a disconnect phone recording.
I think it's the middle-men who are on the whole responsible for these issues. My own parents have been approached by middle-men, sorry not sure what their titles are, who handle contracts between land owners and the companies. They handle the initial contract and pre-payments for anything in the ground, including percentages for any find. The oil and gas companies just buy these contracts from them in the same way freddie mac and fannie may buy home loans.
I don't know if this is true for the entire country but its certainly true for where my parents live.
Talk about an 80's flashback. I learned basic on a CoCo, the color computer from radio shack. Picked up Hot CoCo, Rainbow Magazine and others and my technique improved a lot. Then I got into OS-9 and learning the basics of linux, pascal and a number of other things. Just wish that assembly had made more sense to me at the time.
It's also when I started hardware-hacking my machines for better memory and a variety of other things that radio-shack never intended to support. I want to give a shout out to Chris Burke for making the first and best commercial hard-drive interface for the Coco... thanks Chris, you were a game changer.
I've often wondered why people made fun of my chicklet-keyboard back then on my first battleship gray coco but now all laptops have them and its considered trendy. *laugh*
In the whole article it never mentions physically how the vehicles are tested. According to Consumer Reports, they are put on a frictionless "treadmill." There is no way in the world you can get realistic numbers from a frictionless testing device designed to falsify the numbers.
It's called politics and marketing. He's trying to build support for a future product with his left hand while his write hand is playing with the money.
As far back as the late 1980's we used freezer's on hard-drives to recover data. It helped against various over-heating issues so you could recover just a little bit more data each time you used the drive. Every few years you hear about some other method to recover data with a freezer including putting a device in the freezer. Funny how it always works. All hail the freezer!
It's been my experience that requiring e-records in the office have actually increased the number of items that get billed. The charges are higher than they have before simply because the physicians must record everything now as a bill-able item. No more freebies from your doctor. They have to itemize every medical issue you ask about now. I support a bunch of offices and it's happening in 100% of the offices. Ironically the doctors hate it because they spend all their time looking at a screen entering data rather than paying attention to you. Plus the fact that the software was designed by engineers who haven't spent a lot of time with physicians doing those jobs. Previously 1 lab report on a sick patient now could turn into 15 separate actions that have to be done one at a time. So much for your doctor having time to spend with you.
It's just a social activism site using gamers as it's engine. Nothing more. I'll bet you dollars to donuts the mission will evolve into all sorts of things we're not interested in supporting within a year or so.
If you intend to reuse the drive, you can't use a bulk eraser (except for the ancient stepper motor MFM drives), because doing so will erase the servo information which typically occupies one platter surface. Once this info is wiped out, the drive is unable to operate unless the servo tracks are re-written using specialized equipment, typically only available to drive manufacturers.
Ahh, thats very interesting. I retract my suggestion then!
Honestly we used to use bulk erasers like crazy on customer drives that needed to be wiped. Those old radio shack powered bulk erasers do the trick every time time. Otherwise just search for 'bulk eraser hard drive' on google or bing and you should be able to find somebody who sells one or try ebay. Old school tricks still work most of the time, this is one of them from the 80's.
Yea but do you have to recoat your phone after taking the back off and reseating or replacing the battery? I have to reseat my cell phone all the time because it gets so dang laggy, I'd hate to have to recoat my phone with this stuff every time.
Thats the problem then isn't it. Scientists who are sure about global warming in either direction aren't objective are they? The job of a scientist is to be a critic and there are plenty who aren't.
So this is supposed to cast doubt on his credentials as a climate scientist... how, exactly?
Someone can give all the contrary (and unliked) opinions they want on subjects they have no credential or authority in. Hell, we do it all the time on./
OTOH, the man had to have posted his hypotheses and proofs somewhere... why not attack those, instead of attacking him?
I agree with you, the several postings criticizing him about intelligent design is like saying you can't agree with his opinions on good muffins because he eats steaks too.
Why validate the opinions of an organization that has been banned from a variety of countries and towns around the world? It's like asking the mob their opinion on small caliber firearms. Would you really want them involved?
Is local news something that Slashdot wants to seriously put on it's front page? It's sort of like saying the WW2 history museum in New Orleans is going to repaint the building from one shade of gray to a different one. It's just not front page news and a low point for this site.
Most of my clients are small medical offices. Sure there is more than one system in the office but it's being used by somebody doing a job. They typically don't have the space for extra workstations to sit in a corner. If the system is down, the patient records can't be pulled up and maybe somebody gets the wrong medicines and dies.
In an industry where one is expected to lower your retails costs by 25% every year simply to stay competitive, I can't say I blame them.
When your client's business is losing money because there is no immediate recovery option, its just stupid.
Hard drives sometimes die or become corrupt and that recovery partition is useless at that point. Sure if you had the option to ghost their drive then you can recovery everything. But not everyone wants to pay for storage of starting-state backups when they believe they have a recovery on the drive. It sounds silly to them at the time.

Will all the secret public email accounts being used to pass information to the press and between departments... they fire a tweeter?
so how much is this sharp one? why mention price of 5k and 1k?
A simple search reveals $3,500 at Newegg. Oh ok, for the anal types... it's $3,499.99.

Occupy Wallstreet was an astroturf movement, who the heck cares about an astroturf movement?
Looks cool but what altitude is this? Do they have a map for different altitudes? What layer has the jet stream?
We're better tear down a few buildings to protect it's habitat! This is important!

How can something be settled in science? Riddle me that?

Gimme a break. Somebody is just trying to get a buck in their pocket. Fiddlesticks I say!
