Good call by the folks in marketing!

Here is a good article that is sort of connected to all this. Business Week
Which just goes to show that a good firewall is essential software, because getting malicious software on your machine...

There's a book writen by Rear Adm Edwin T. Layton called "And I was there". He has absolutly nothing good to say about MacArthur.

So do folks down there see this as an opportunity to rebuild smaller more compact towns, or do they see their future in casinos and condos?

This has been the worst winter I can remember, no crispy cold temperatures and no snow! :(

If you are renting a car, you might want to consider an SUV, it's pothole season.

50 yrs ago the answer to that question was: We are heading to the 20hrs work week.

You know those I-talians with their funny food, they are going to destroy the American way of life! I predict that in the not too distant future, there will be pizza shops on practically every street...

Next thing you know they are going to let those dirty Irish, and stinking I-talians in.

Deals go bad for business reasons, everyone understands that.
This went bad for BS political reasons, everyone also understands that. Leaves a bad taste in month of your trading partners. Would...

I wonder if Airbus is going to pick up this deal?
I wouldn't blame the UAE if they cancelled this, based on "national security" issues of course.

BTW each plane is powered by...

Uncas,
From past comments you have made, it would appear that everything you know about Middle Eastern politics and history can fit quite nicely on the head of pin.

This whole situation brings up some serious questions, for example.
How does the UAE know that the planes it has just ordered from Boeing, don't contain devices designed to spie on government...

I guest when you're up against this type of thinking, you can't possible win.

I think a good starting point, and this is true with any computer purchase, is to figure out what applications (software) you'll likely be using. Once you have that figured out, see what the...

What an interesting place. Great photos.

High C,
Good to see you’ve had success with Linspire. Now all you have to do is tweak it to make it do what you want.

After a while of playing around with various “distributions” as different...

Gentoo has just release it's latest version. This one actually includes an installer. The link brings you to screen shots of what to expect if one decides to give it a try.

Jack, in our case it’s really simple. The government tells the manufacture that if they are interested in selling their drugs in Canada here is what you will charge. There’s a relatively simple...

You can run backwards 50km on snow in 2hrs? :D

Like many sports you really can't appreciate it, until you've tried it, or have seen the best in person.

I think the fundamental structure of the way things are set up is sound - what is known as a single payer system i.e. your doctor only bills one provider, the provincial insurance scheme. The...

The system currently in place is somewhere around 50yrs old, the way it operates hasn't really changed all that much since inception, and that is part of the problem. As the demographic profile of...

My favorite is that it appears that some of the machines/software were not y2k...

High C, a bit of a faux pas on my part...sorry about that.

Gentoo, in my opinion, is not for beginners. Yes it's one of the best distributions out there. It's highly customizable, which is a blessing for advanced users, but a curse for beginners. If you...

The answer to the original question is: yes...with a little work.

Chad,

As you might know I've been using Linux for three years now, currently SUSE 10.0.
I see no reason to go back to Windows as all my needs are more than adequately served with what I have. ...

Interesting article Illegals pay into SS

At work they are using something called Feedreader.( I think)
Part of the issue at work is that you don't have a choice of what to get, you get what the news administrator wants you to get, it...

Donn,

Maybe PITA was too strong, I find it more annoying that anything else. I think it just comes down to information overload. I'm the type of person that if I see I have new email, I'll stop...

I use it at home, and we are starting to experiment with it at work.

What do you like about it?
It sits in the system tray, and lets me know whenever there is something new, sort of cool at...

Talk is cheap, but these type of teachers aren't. I really can't see too many math graduates willing to take a 50% pay cut to teach high school math.

I've been on Egyptian ferryboats, and it's quite obvious even to the casual observer, that the ship owners aren't suffering from oppressive government "over-regulation" of their industry.

It's interesting/curious that no one was injured. Either the USA soldiers are terrible shots, or only got a few shots off before they realized they were firing on the wrong vehicule. How's that for...

I think for the most past, it really doesn't matter what list you look at the USA doesn't figure in the top 5.

That is a ridiculous statement, not to mention a complete waste of time, if one...

Things being what they are in Sudan, I figure the boat will be derelict within 5 years.

Can't be motored there...big damn at Aswan.

I turned 45 last week, played hockey Saturday night, nailed some 20 something to the boards…felt good. You’re as old as you feel, it’s a cliché, but oh so true. smile.gif

Nothing like a tidy little working boat.

Great pictures, great boats...looks like a trip to Brazil might be in order.

The numbers can't be denied, so why in the world do we continue to support China? The Chinese Communist Party is just as ruthless and its history just as dark as its European counterparts. Is it...
