One day I got like 6 of them. "Just in case you forgot we don't think your good enough to work here..."
Lol. On the bright side, that's gotta be a sign this was a place you really wouldn't want to work anyway. Do you really need 6 postcards everytime you forget to put a cover sheet on your TPS reports? "Did you get the memo...?"
To be a gamer, no. To be taken seriously as someone making commentary on the gaming industry, yes.
It's kinda like saying, I'm going to be a movie critic and make predictions about what the next big hit will be, but I've never seen anything by that Spielberg kid.
No. But I think it's a major stretch to think that people will start to have their consoles at their desks. Because using a mouse and keyboard at your sofa is simply not gonna happen.
Word. Remember, the history of keyboards for consoles goes back (at least) to Colecovision and Intelivision, through Dreamcast, up to XBox. That's not to say it will never catch on, but the trend is certainly for folks to not buy keyboards for their consoles.
6. Distributors only need to supply source code, and not the means to use it
Under section 3 of the GPL, providing the source code is only part of a distributor's obligation. The section defines the complete source code as not only "the source code for all modules" and "any associated interface definition files," but also "the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable" -- in other words, the tools needed to make the source code useful to anyone. Within the free software community, many people will already have those tools, but distributors cannot assume that all recipients will.
Don't the "tools needed to make the source code useful" include a compiler? And you'd probably need an operating system to run that, perhaps some sort of kernel. Does a distributor of a GPLed program need to be prepared to set up a development environment to make the source code useful for "any third party"?
This may seem like a purposely obtuse interpretation, but as someone with very little knowledge of the GPL, I'm given pause the experts say under the GPL it's not enough to prove source code, but to "make the source code useful to anyone." I'd be very reluctant make my company subject to anyone's concept of utility.
Nowadays, we need to support not only people at the office, but friends, family, friends of the family, family of the friends... you name it! They all run Windows to a degree and there are many tools to help you when assisting.
So....Uh...the point of the original question was stuff you carry around for support
Here's what I carry around:
Wanna see it again?
No thumb drive, no usb HD, no utilities on my mp3 player. I'm not 'on' 24/7. I do occasionally relate directly with other people rather than always in relation to a machine.
And no, I do not mind helping family and friends with their computer woes. I got plenty of help from relatives with Real Estate experience when I was shopping for my first house. I occasionally ask tax-related questions of the accountants in the family. So I have no problem helping out in those areas I may have some experience.
But I don't see the need to always be prepared to spring into action. I don't think it's too much if I asked a plumber friend some tips on installing a new toilet; however I don't expect my friend to have his tool box with him everywhere he goes.
If someone needs a hand with an issue that requires my tool box, they need to ask me ahead of time, rather than presume I have it with me. If asked, I'll burn a CD with the anti-virus/spyware, browsers, scanners, et al. mentioned elsewhere in this thread. It's a little extra work, but it
a) prevents the spread of disease. Each CD is write once/use once.
b) allows me to leave the CD behind. Give a fish/teach to fish kinda thing.
c) makes sure I have the latest and greatest. I'm at my computer burning a CD; it's very little extra work to go get the latest version. That usb drive in my backpack? That thing hasn't been updated in months.
And most of my family has learned this. Ask me in advance, and I'll burn the internet to a CD. Corner me for help once I've arrived, and I'll help out if I can, but I won't have my tool box with me.
As for what I carry around--for myself or for others--it's a good day when I remember my cell phone. When I'm away from my computer, I'm away from the computer.
(Appologies to the GP poster, Gothmolly. I have mod points and was going to 'fix' the Flamebait, but decided to reply instead.)
Like that time, when the president lost his job because of the guy from two and a half men and the old guy dating the chick from the cell phone commercials.
If it could happen to the president, it could happen to you. I'm just saying.
There are millions of more useful science-related things to be learning about...blah blah blah
I disagree 110%. Perhaps you think intelligent design should taught along with evolution? I mean not to troll, but to make a point. Those that would argue intelligent design is as much a 'fact' as evolution is fail to understand what science, and science eduction, are about.
Yes, we have facts. We should seek to discover these, and our students should learn these, but facts do not make science. Science is process. How do you discover facts, the truths about the world around us? How do you test whether an idea is true or not? How are facts assembled into more complex systems?
And I think your approach might encourage the cult of personality you try to avoid. Einstein is the perfect example. The guy is on such a pedestal it's a wonder any child would even go into Physics. Such a genius, so far ahead of his time, such wonder. How do you follow that act?
It might benefit children to know he didn't ace all his classes in school. He wasn't an overnight success. All his brilliant ideas didn't just pop out of his head fully formed. It might encourage children to know that even the brightest struggle. Even that most acclaimed achievers had some failure.
Through Einstein's life you might teach perseverance, you might teach dedication, you might teach imagination. I doubt students find any of those things in the mere facts of Einstein's theories. And I haven't even touched upon his involvement with the development of the nuclear bomb.
If the goal is to produce technicians and button-mashers, by all means stick to the facts. If the goal is to produce independent thinkers with the potential to become scientists and engineers, you need to teach more than just the facts.
I'd say if the choice is between Einstein's biography and his physics, you're better off learning his biography. But I don't think that's a choice we need to make.

Guess the choice is Hoover Dam/Panama Canal-type public works projects that are efficient from a management/budgeting perspective but costly in terms of human life, or Big Dig-type public works projects that border on complete anarchy in terms of management and budget and yet...still costly in terms of human life.
What if the president goes on a criminal rampage in plain sight? If he robbed a bank and took a few hostages, would the Secret Service jump in front of a SWAT sniper's bullet to save him? Would he get away without punishment?
Actually, that is exactly what would happen. As long as the president is the president, the only legal recourse is impeachment and removal from office by congress.
Now once the president leaves office, then prosecution could proceed on the bank job.
Unless, of course, he swings a deal with the VP--I'll resign and then as president, you pardon me.
That's why the mid-term elections coming up are such a big deal. Congress is supposed to be the check/balance against presidental power, and it's been 5+ years since any one in either house, of either party has done that job. That's what the senate race in CT is about.
Seriously, no offense to retards meant, but did the folks at Dell eat paint chips growing up?
The web site they're directing people to is dellbatteryprogram.com. Any wonder why phishing is such a problem? What's wrong with directing people to dell.com?
If Dell has dellbatteryprogram.com for battery problems, why woulnd't PayPal have giveawayyourpaypalinfototherussianmafia.com?
Seriously, the best defense against phishing is only use bank.com for your bank, creditcardco.com for your credit card company, paypal.com for PayPal, and dell.com for dell.
