Have you tried telling them to cut down on the IM'ing to non-employees or you are going to cut them off? If you think it is decreasing productivity, then doing something about may be as easy as talking to them about it. If that doesn't work, well, they were warned...
And yes, we use IM for work here, and I find it really handy to get a hold of people or leave a msg if they are away from their desk.
I agree totally. I'm not usually a proponent of open source software or a FOSS die-hard, but I think it is absolutely preposterous not to have an open source and peer reviewed voting machine. The voting process should be absolutely transparent (aside of course for the individual's choice in candidate) so any defects can be scrutinized and corrected before the 'big day'.
You are totally right here, as it stands it would be nearly impossible to completely 'cure' someone with HIV. However, I think what might be more important is that we could potentially be able to treat human embryos while there are only a few cells that need changing. These changes would hopefully be carried through as they replicate.
I shouldn't have to point out the multitude of issues brought up by creating a new 'race' of humans that are immune to HIV; there are so many other things that could go wrong with slice-and-dicing the human genome that we probably won't see the tangible results of this early experiment for many, many years to come. Despite this, it is a reassuring step forward in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
The M1400 is great if you can get over the fact that it doesn't have a keyboard, and the bundled keyboard that is integrated into the screen protector is pretty lousy. But I had mine running XP tablet edition and it did everything I needed it to do (with one-note of course) and I have just recently switched it over to Vista. I know, I know, Vista is the anti-christ and all that, but the tablet features in it are far superior to XP. As a note-taking platform, the M1400 is light and fast enough for all intents and purposes. As a report writing platform it falls flat (I have a desktop so it doesn't matter to me).
Tablet PCs don't really have a learning curve, but they do take a special kind of mind-set to get used to and aren't really for everyone. My suggestion is try to find a cheap one like I did (toshiba makes some good cheap ones too, convertible style (fold down screen) which might be better if you need a keyboard to do reports and the like on it) or rent/borrow one for a couple days. Also check out the forums at http://www.gottabemobile.com/forum/, they will help you find something if your are not sure what to get.
I'm an electrical engineer going on my fourth year, and have been using a slate-style tablet PC for a little over a year now. A Motion M1400 to be exact, which I picked off of ebay for pretty cheap (see here, pretty cheap indeed). I can say without a doubt that a tablet with One-Note is far superior to a conventional paper notebook aside from price. I was able to scan assignments in for later reference, write up my homework, save and index presentations given by professors, and most importantly search my indexed notes for past lessons. Drawing is no problem, neither is annotating scanned documents. Plus it can be used as a pretty convenient e-book reader:).
Now about your durability argument, the larger the book is, the weaker the spine because it has to hold together more sheets of paper. I've wrecked the binding on more than one book since starting school, and I know that chem. students use some awfully large books. If you are stepping on and wrecking stuff in your room 'cause you left it on the floor, it's not the 'ebook's fault, it's yours for leaving it there in the first place!
Not when you're THAT big of an asshole. The RIAA could pull a dump truck out of their asses and not feel a thing.
Yeah, so could the people they have screwed over the last couple of years (artists AND defendants alike).
Radar absorbent material is already out there if you can get your hands on it, and it isn't illegal. I'm sure it's just very expensive given its only practical application. This leads me to believe that this new stuff will be the same; not illegal, just very hard get.
Hey, you have something there. I know this was meant to be funny, but think of it in a military use. If it absorbs the majority of light it might also absorb other spectrums of E.M. radiation, perhaps even the radar bands. Throw it on planes to make 'perfect' black camo for night missions, or put it on Navy SEALs boats. I mean, this thing has tons of practical use for various markets as well, not just military.
One of the most amazing adaptations that I have seen in nature come from Japanese honey bees and their ability to thwart attacks from hornets. Check out this, guarantee you will be amazed:).
You know, you can disable the UAC, and find your own drivers. Of course, if you are still using a sound blaster live! card, it is now under EOL (end of life) (click through to select your card) and will not have supported drivers for Vista.
These kind of steps are common with any new operating system that is expected to run multitudes of old, unsupported hardware (note that doesn't include OSX). But yes, the default sound drivers for Vista are crap, no argument there:).
A paper helicopter? Or perhaps one of those silly seeds that fall from trees.
But seriously here, autorotation, regardless of how crappy he builds his heli, might just be the thing to save his life should his second hand civic engine cut out.
Besides, the weight of the object isn't the determining factor, I believe it is how aerodynamic the object is. Am I wright (da duh, ching)?
I think you might be a bit too pessimistic my friend. I think the parent is right in saying that the comms part is a completely different sub-system altogether, and screwing with that to remove any lock-in code won't necessarily wreck the entire system. And what's to say that the people who made the crack are not competent coders, and have made a relatively minor adjustment that isn't unstable? I also think that Apple has an obligation to fix the buffer overflow bug that caused the unlocking to begin with because, well, it's a bug. That doesn't mean that they won't test it on an unlocked iPhone out of pure curiosity, and it also doesn't mean that they will try to brick all unlocked iPhones. I say just wait it out, see what happens, and try to keep quite till then;).
I think you are confused; the voip, email, browser, and office tools only work when you boot up from a PC using the wizpy. You can't use the apps without a PC handy.
Yeah, but why not? Most people hunt because it's fun, and so is shooting assault rifles, so combine the two to make it even funner. Not really a hard concept...
Well it also seems to me that not everyone understands what the 'median' of a set of values is, which is why propagandists use the 'average' value.
Now having an average that is close to or equal to the median is possible, I don't see why that sentence made no sense to you. All you need is an evenly distributed group to have the two equal to each other.
1. He can't quote something from the GP and post in the GGP without confusing everyone who reads. His reply was indeed a reply to the GP, and really wasn't looking for more attention (although he did bold too many things, which does in a way draw attention:P ).
2. Average income in the US and UK is representative of the population, whereas in China it is not. That is why it is wiser to use the median value in China as so to represent the larger population's annual income. Make sense? OK, now when you look at places that are really really poor, like say some generic central African country, you can use the average because there are only one or two 'rich' people, and the rest are poor. Therefore the average is closer to the median and is still a good representation of the annual income.
Actually, he's talking about the affordable nVidia cards, and the tests that were done in TFA. Also, you see that given the price of the X1950 XTX (a smooth 400$), it doesn't even compare to the 500$ (min) you would have to throw down for a 8800 GTX. I would expect for 100$ more I would be getting that much more in graphics performance!
And the GP is right in saying that the review is a little bias, the ATI card clearly outperforms the nVidia ones. But, and there's always a but, the ATI one doesn't support DX10 features and ATI is supposed to release a new card lineup in the near future that should support it. Should be interesting...
You obviously don't send large text files then! You might want to just send them as.rtf's in the future, you know, with headings and different fonts and all.

Ha, well how about this nerf gun? Where there's a will, there's a way :).

According to the greens, global warming will have created an actual waterworld by the time STALKER 2 development would finish :P.
Well I stand corrected! Can't imagine it would run all that smoothly but meh, all the more power to ya.
:P. GET OVER IT!
And why the hell did my post get modded down? God, too many Linux fanboys unwilling to hear that Linux GUI's can't run on all hardware
Yeah, but why not? Most people hunt because it's fun, and so is shooting assault rifles, so combine the two to make it even funner. Not really a hard concept...
Same goes for Gnome or KDE... But any of the embedded linux/windows distros work great...
Well it also seems to me that not everyone understands what the 'median' of a set of values is, which is why propagandists use the 'average' value.
Now having an average that is close to or equal to the median is possible, I don't see why that sentence made no sense to you. All you need is an evenly distributed group to have the two equal to each other.
Ok, Ok, settle down here:

I think the bigger question is 'does ATI need a 7950gx2', when they could just come out with a better card?
And really, how well is that nVidia card doing in sales anyway?
