The big issue with the George Bush Cyber Initiative is that it's called "the George Bush Cyber Initiative".
I wonder if he did it to improve the damage done to his legacy. When we look back on this we'll curse him for the Iraq war. Then again how many of us still cringe when we hear Sarbanes or Oxley and what else did they do? If he can get his name attached to this maybe we will remember him for this instead... And maybe if frogs has wings...
Oh thank god! I didn't want to drop the coin on a laptop and find out I had to run Vista (talk about lock-in) and I have not the skills to build a laptop myself.
Those types are like the annoying dicks in class who distract the instructors with unrelated questions just to show the rest of the class how smart they are.
I'm not doing it to show the class how SMART I am; I'm doing it to show the instructor where I'm LACKING. If we're covering a section that I already understand and I can tell we're near the end but I have a question about the topic that isn't high level, ones that's more specific to my real world problems that forced me to go to a class, how does that make me a dick for asking. If I'm in a class I'm there to get the most of the instructor as I can. The books can be found online for cheap, their experience in real world problems can not.
Yeah, I'll get RIGHT on that. And when the share holders or customers ask for documentation as to why the system is down 25% of the time and we tell them "Oh, it's because we gave RandomUserX on the Docks Admin rights to speed up response time on help desk. It's cool, he has his MCSE!" I'm sure I could leverage getting a college co-op before getting the CIO to sign off on letting "Power users" run loose on the network to fix problems.
I've read somewhere that they did something to the BIOS settings and that's not all you need to do anymore. That you need to reload an older version of the bios (if you can find one) or you can't install anything else... Or way that just a rumor?
Agreed. When you see a yellow light, if they are timed correctly, you should be able to slow to a stop in time. If not, it's a matter of public safety and should be addressed accordingly by the state agency if you feel the city is doing it to generate revenue.
There are very few times when you HAVE to go through a yellow you haven't already passed as it's changing.
Is it a question of people slamming on their breaks because it "suddenly" turned red or them slamming on their breaks because they realized they "couldn't beat it". Yellow means: caution, Light is going to change. Slow to a stop. Now if the City is not allowing enough time on the light for breaking that is a public safety problem.
The concept of it's okay to chat away on your phone in the UK on the plane but not in the US won't peeve ANY international travelers. Of course they will happily fly into the US where they have to turn off their phones and succumb to more invasive security then take their business to another country.
If I wanted the experience so real I could touch it... I'd go outside and touch them. When I go to the movies, I suspend my belief for 2D. Even a live theater gives a flat 2D feel to the stage to a degree. 3-D makes me think the 80's... Next thing you know they'll resell "he-man" and "my little pony"...oh wait
If you are in the "Go Zone" and the light turns yellow you can not stop with out stopping in the intersection.
"SEE THE LIGHT" meaning that when you reach the go zone your decision on how to deal with the light should well be past. Have they turned yellow as I've watched them from the "Go Zone"? Well of course but then I'm already committed to my action.
Oh, I don't disagree with you. I've seen BMW whipping at 90+ MPH in a 50MPH zone thinking "if he gets ticketed, he won't care he can soak the cost" then again if he slams someone his insurance will go up and all the financial things that go along to penalize that.
i know people are going to say "well when it turns yellow you stop - no problem" but the yellow is so short that it is an issue..
Maybe it was the way I was taught to drive... but...
If it's green when you see it, assume it will turn yellow at any time: prepare to stop. If it's yellow when you see it, assume it will turn red: you should be stopping If it is red when you see it, assume the idiots coming the other way will run the yellow or red. Wait a second after it turns green then Go. Stopping is not a problem if you assume everyone else is going to be more stupid than you are. It's driving again...
like the problem that occurs when people focus too hard on the idea that economics is the study of resource allocation in the presence of scarcity.
Or the researcher who did the work on people willing to waste time for a free ice cream cone over paying for one with no line? Seeing how much of a loss their willing to take (in time, because we know our worth in time thanks to hourly wages) for "free"?

And adjusted their carburetor. Now it only gets 30 Miles per gallon.
What It could happen...
What makes a person great is that they are still humble in spite of their greatness.
In your remembrance of him, you make him out not just as a nice man, but, indeed as a great man.
We will miss the man that proved the Universe falls inwards onto itself at points or at least just sucks really hard.

But in the end will it Run Linux?
That's been my killing point on most portables. Unless I want a Mac they all run Vista.
I thought it was Spring! What's that chilling effect in the air I feel?

Speeding tickets are like the lottery:
They're just a tax on the stupid who are inattentive and don't understand how numbers work.

Like my prank this year:
Got a cake, wrote "Happy April fools day! Enjoy the Cake!" on it. No one's touched it yet... BTW, nothing wrong with it
