We don't actually use eManager, we use Trend's IMSS. When it was first installed I calculated the spam handling I got before and after. I found that it was grabbing about 50% of my spam along with some of my real email. SpamAssassin gets ~94% either way, it's just 94% of a smaller number with IMSS in the loop.:)
Most of our users didn't notice any drop when IMSS was installed. I practically get love letters over SpamAssassin.
I went to the home page to sign up my ZIP code. I saw a link about "New Jersey". When I clicked on it, there was a press release that it was *already* on Comcast On Demand.
I did notice a lot of anime choices on the regular on-demand menu. It's just that we usually only watch Showtime On-Demand. P&T's Bullshit! rocks.
Yeah, Rain Forest Puppy. The fact that it doesn't ring a bell means you really aren't involved with security. Here's a clue: http://www.wiretrip.net/rfp/2/index.asp
That is not a problem. Comcast cable modem service comes with a free 1GB/month subscription to Giganews. That's worth about $8. You can upgrade at reduced prices if you want more.
Just where did you get your definition for f-stop?
I'll get mine from Basic Photographic Materials and Processes 2e. F-stop is defined as the focal length of the lens divided by the effective aperture. You are making shit up.
BPMaP (copyright 2000) also specifically mentions 0.7 and 0.5 lenses. It goes as far to say that 0.5 is the fastest possible *conventional* single element optical lense. It would be a half-sphere with the film in contact with the flat side of the lense.
Wow, did you ever miss a reference. I see all that nifty software that you quoted out of the FAQ. Funny, I don't think Linus ever wrote any competitors to any of them, so I think we can ignore all of that.
What I think the original poster was referring to was the kernel itself. Linus has been very successful with the Linux kernel, yes? The Hurd pretty much failed there. The Hurd is probably the worst example of vaporware in the history of computing. 16 years in the making, and still no stable release that you'd run on a production server (unless you had a point to prove).
Now I feel a bit sick to my stomach for writing this post that could be taken as a troll. Let me just finish this by saying I have the utmost respect for both Linus and RMS and the rest of GNU.
I can't believe you're actually trashing a show based on its promotional web site. What were you looking for, a one hour episode of Biography on each? Why don't you wait for 3-4 episodes before making any comments about character development. 48 (or whatever) minutes isn't much time to introduce a show and develop all the characters.
Sitting in the front of Nitro (at Six Flags Great Adventure in NJ) will always black out my vision in the large corkscrew. I haven't yet found a person who didn't feel extremely light-headed after taking that turn in a front seat. And that turn still isn't close to 5.6 Gs.
This sounds a little over-dramatic. I have personally ridden that ride at least 6 times, all but twice in the front row. My wife (who has a season pass) has ridden roughly 20 times this year, all in the front row. Neither of us has ever felt especially light-headed on Nitro or any other coaster in the park. Of course, now she's starting to get bored.:)
Who moderated this load of crap up? Who cares if some random person hung up on mnemonics can't make one up for Ogg? Millions of non-English-speaking (ok, many European languages will map closely enough) users can deal with this without even blinking any eye.
Why for one second should he think that Xiph should even care 1 iota for his luddite ravings?
Europeans just do not understand the climate of the US until they spend a lot of time here. I don't think they can really fathom just how large and the range of climates that exist here. I have a friend who grew up in England. He's in shorts in early May in SE Pennsylvania. The rest of us are still wearing light jackets. He couldn't function without AC in the summer there.
I live in NJ close to the Atlantic (< 1km). It's damn hot and very humid in the summer. Our house was built with central AC because it would unbearable much of the summer otherwise. Even so, I leave the AC off until it gets over 85F (29C). Friends in Cape Cod, Mass debate yearly whether to actually buy AC for the week or so that it might get used each year. The answer is always "no".
I agree that some hotels, especially in Florida overdo it, but I think it's more marketing. I.e. "it's so hot in FL, but see how comfy we can make it for you northerners (and Europeans)". I know several people who live in FL and think the hotels are insanely cold too. By the same token, AC *is* necessary there.
Please don't judge the entire country based on your one experience in a Florida hotel. Hotels and retail establishments aren't realistic portrayals of cold how we keep our homes or offices.
100 years ago High School might not have necessarily meant what it does today. My alma mater, Penn State, started in 1855 as "The Farmers High School". That name lasted until 1862.
The reasoning was that "college" meant an education in the classics, dead languages, philosophy, etc. The local farmer population wouldn't have trusted an agricultural science school with the name college.
You won't get cut off with the existing running daemon just because you replace the on-disk version. It's all running from memory. Exception: demand-paging, blah. I've done it with RPMs all the time. As long as that last daemon you're connected to is running, you're fine. You can stop and start the master daemon to you heart's content.
This is not to say that I haven't hosed myself doing this. E.g. Once I was playing with some OpenSSH config options on a system. I turned off the daemon, then went to eat dinner or something. When I came back my session was logged out due to inactivity and there was no longer a runing daemon.:)
Ok, how about a Rio One? $100 (actually I got mine free after rebate at BestBuy along with Windows XP and a trunkload of other free stuff), actually loud enough that I turn down the default startup volume cause it's too loud. Sounds pretty decent, weighs less than 3 ounces, and is deck of cards sized.
Downside: drop the cheap-ass headphones, they sound awful, I replaced them with a pair from Philips for $10. Only 32MB of memory, but it's SmartMedia expandable to 160MB (I went to 96 over the weekend). Internal and expansion memory are separate volumes, and therefore you could lose a couple megs due to internal fragmentation. Bundled RealJukebox sucks unbelievably. Build quality leaves a little to be desired. Froze once or twice when I did stupid stuff.
Upside: USB. Mountable under Win2k and WinXP, probably under Linux etc since there were no drivers, just USB mass storage already in both. And did I mention I got it free?:)
Gulp, now for the embarassing part. It plays WMAs, and I can't really tell the difference between 64Kbps WMA and 128Kbps MP3, but wow, 64 Kbps MP3 is full of compression artifacts. Really, I swear I love Linux.:) Oh, well it's not like MP3s were completely unemcumbered. This will do until there's an Ogg player (and Ogg works well at 64K). Who knows, the Rio One is flashable, maybe someday.
I have had it less than a week though, I'm sure I could still grow to loathe it.
You crazy kids. I remember some BSDs used to be that way. Specifically IBM's AIS had binaries in/etc (no, not AIX, or was it AES? ACS? anyways it was an academic-only BSD that ran on RT/PCs, yes this was my first Unix) and didn't SunOS have soft links to/sbin?/etc/ping and others meant that/etc was in root's path. Things are just organized differently now (maybe organized better).
I have a personal copy of PGP Desktop Security 6.5.3 on Windows 98, a corporate PGP Security Suite (or whatever, the version with the ADKs and custom installer-builder). I have been able to get both to send and receive information with GnuPG. Version 6+ of PGP defaults to DH/DSS keys similar enough to what GPG uses. You are kind of constrained to what block cipher you use, but that's about it.
Go to tucows, find the telnet app Tera Term Pro, go to the home site and there should be links for TTSSH an ssh plugin for it. It doesn't to port forwarding well, no host-specific config. I think you have to generate your key on a Unix box. Data-Fellows sells SSH for Win*. About $100, and the clients you buy now are v2 and are not backwards-compatible to v1, smells like a conspiracy. And the terminal emulation sucks big time. Almost as bad as windows telnet. It does handle host-specific config fairly well.
HIPAA already provides (section 1177) for fines and/or prison terms (up to 1, 5, or 10 years depending on circumstances) "for a knowing misuse of unique health identifiers and individually identifiable health information". The up to 10 year sentence is applied if misuse is "with intent to sell, transfer, or use individually identifiable health information for commercial advantage, personal gain, or malicious harm. (source: HIPAA NRPM, Federal Register Vol 63, No. 155 Aug 12 1998).
In your "access authentication" bullet, you really mean auditability. HIPAA also requires auditability. Every access to a record must be audited, who, when and where kind of thing.
PPPHHHLLLBBBTTT to all you who said us Americans don't really care about healthcare privacy.:) I think we're doing ok. IANAL, but the corporate legal dept. tells me all this crap.
HIPAA is great, but you forgot HCFA (Health Care Financing Administration -- www.hcfa.gov, bunch of standards there). These rules went into effect 24 Nov 1998. Everything my company thinks of doing over the Internet has to take it into account. Less comprehensive than HIPAA but it requires that anyone that wants to send (provide on a web site, whatever) patient identifiable data over the Internet has to encrypt and go through an audit by HCFA. This attemtps to make sure that you don't have a bunch of security idiots running the hospital IS dept.

Uh, because GB is the ISO 2 letter country code for "The UK". Country codes are *supposed* to follow the ISO country codes. Somebody fucked up.

Let alone a web site before the show even airs.
