Similarily, get people using Mozilla instead of IE. Using the Windows versions of the Linux applications they will be using will make the transition much easier.
Also check the how well specialized applications under wine. Don't just read the ranking in the codewearvers database: actually use it.
All people who want an abortion have to go on a 3 day waiting list. The people on this list are matched up with willing would-be parents who cannot concieve or otherwise wish to carry these babies to term. If no one matches in that time, then the baby is removed and if it can live on it's own, so be it, otherwise it dies.
This is modeled after the humane society's protocol for adoption of animals. If a baby dies in this model, the responsibility for that is really spread across society. It's because there was no woman who really wanted to step up and care for it.
oop yeah. that's my fault. the actualy link is too long for a/. sig so I have my server redirect to it. I've just recently done a reinstall on my server and haven't set that site up. I'm just going to change the sig. If you care to see it, you can go here
I remember reading the opt-out email from Yahoo. I don't remember the one from HotMail. In fact, the last email I got from them said
"As a Hotmail member, you have received this e-mail to inform you of new services. Our policy has always been to send e-mail messages only to announce such information, and we'll continue to honor this policy. Thank you for being a Hotmail member."
I'll have to weight in on the Debian side. Unless you have an application that requires RedHat (can't think of one but I have heard of commercial packages that are only have RedHat support only), Debian is a lot easier to administrate. I used to use RedHat at home, but am glad I made the switch. dselect and apt make installation/update/remove painless.
Like another poster said, you can do autoupdate by flagging apt to not ask questions and then set a cron job up (you can even use webmin to create the job if you don't want to get your hands dirty) to autoupdate. *I* wouldn't do that, nor would I auto-update windows, but it's doable.
University is what you make of it. Yes, one can go to univeristy and not gain any skill in programming. However, if you take interest in what you are doing and try to apply it at work, a lot of the classes do add to your skills.
The one important thing I found with a university education is that the cirriculum (hopefully) forces you to take subjects you normally wouldn't take. This can be a course in lisp or operating systems or networks or database engines. Yes you can learn it on your own, but self teaching brings you to places you want to go and thus is self limiting. By being forced into other subjects (even nontechnical ones) you are exposed to different ways of thinking and a different understanding than you could achieve on your own.
I can list many examples where I've drawn on my university experience to analyze and solve various problems. I've used stocastic algorithms on porn sites, I've used order analysis on distributed designs. If you want to apply the knowledge, it is typically there to be applied. And I personally believe that having an understanding of the how to implement the layer underneath what you are working on (i.e. an operating system or at least a network stack) gives you better insight into the designing and impelementing the layer on top.
If you don't want to go to college, don't go. But don't fool yourself into thinking it has nothing to do with the real world or that a BMath in computer science can't make you a better programmer.
And back on the topic of admins, I'd say that an admin who understand how to program would be better than one that does not, because she or he can automate their repetative tasks better.
IAANAP, but something seem wrong here. If you are tunnelling electrons from one side to the other to transfer heat out, one of two things will occur: either the inside will become +vely ionized and eventually you will run out of electrons and the cooling will no cease functioning, or electrons will get in some how (and they will really want in to the +ve ionization) and carry heat from the outside. I feel that if they get this thing working, at best they will find a) one surface will be cold the other hot until ionization occurs, in which case both sides will become the same and heat will leak into the fridge. b) one surface will be cold, one surface will be hot, but in reality, the temperature inside the fridge won't change much (it will however, be a little hotter one the one side of the chip and a little cooler all around the surface of the fridge where the electrons are going back into the fridge). Basically a redistribution of heat, but not the one desired.
The out comes above depend on whether the inside becomes ionized ot not.
Not all of the products L&H were pushing were there. Notably, the speech rec for embedded devices was no where near what they claimed. I know because I was tasked with finding a speech rec engine for PDA's for an application we were building at the time. I talked with L&H and it took me 2 months to get them to admit that they didn't have what we were talking about but that we could work with them to port their stuff to WinCE (note WinCE was on their supported platform sheet) and this is after they danced around having them send or demo a device of their choosing so that we could see how well it worked and if it would work well with our application. We couldn't even get a demo. Once they said we'd have to port it but that they'd help us (without showing us how well it worked even in their labs), it was basically "no thanks".
But even with a credit/debit card if it's involved in fraud, you can cancel it. It's hard to cancel your fingerprint and have them issue you a new one. Once a thief has stolen it, they have it for good.
Adding to your last sentance. Another problem is that Halo is being released for the PC. I don't see how Microsoft is going to have exclusive big sellers on X-box, since its so close to a PC.
Unless that's the plan. Get some titles on the X-box to get people to buy a $200 copy of Windows XP to play the lastest games. Hmmmmmm
Yeah, but it also took us all on average 2 days to adjust the ad filters in out brains to not see them. I couldn't tell you what the ad for this article was to save my life.
In this case, I didn't opt out because I figured I wouldn't see the extra 3 spam/wk (if that) among the 20/day I get.
I read mine. I didn't care. I figure if that helps Yahoo stay afloat, then more power to them. I like Yahoo as a service, I have my.yahoo.com as my homepage. I don't want it to go away but I don't want to pay for it. So let them advertise to me.
I switched to Mozilla because of the loading time. IE takes 10 seconds from clicking the icon to having my homepage (my.yahoo.com) rendered. Mozilla took 3. Considering startup time is what switched me to IE in the first place, switching to Mozilla was natural. Since then I've become addicted to the tabbed browsing.
And under my system, they would not be pregnant. The fetus would be rehosted in the match, or aborted.
I do all my banking online with Mozilla as well, this on a 700Mhz machine.
BUYING a program to run FREE windows programs seems wrong
So instead you'll buy Windows?

Here is my solution to the debate
All people who want an abortion have to go on a 3 day waiting list. The people on this list are matched up with willing would-be parents who cannot concieve or otherwise wish to carry these babies to term.

just my opinion
And Afganistan is Alderaan.
After all, they were either for the empire or against it.

I think I'm just missing something about how electrons are carrying heat, then. why don't the ones from the plug in the wall carry heat?

I think I hear a BSA audit coming.
it didn't take in to account how many forests the US plants
Planting forests? A bunch of trees is not a forest
Just in case you missed this in another subthread: Heat 'kills 450' in southern India

or gravy and cheese curd, for the French Canadians out there.
The Final Fantasy games also sell well in the US.

Since it doesn't seem to be posted yet, Atom Films recently picked the winners and runners up in their Star Wars short films contest. Some good works.
