    Iraqi crisis explained...

    Maybe. But certainly not if the action in Iraq is UN sponsored. This is why some countries will jump back on board. Heck, Oz will control some even if it's not UN sponsored.

    Well, which install did you do: quick, custom, automated or existing. It sounds like F@H is waiting for you to input you name, team number, etc.

    I can confirm that taxation was as you suggest back to at least '94. I got the impression that it has been this way for awhile.

    Media in HSM systems are not removed. Think of HSM as data that you do not need everyday but when do you need it faster than you can restore from tape.

    A computer-ethical dilemna

    It's a lot clearer when although you are only sitting and minding the keys it is something the customer doesn't know how to do and by being off site you can't accept work from additional customers. I liked the bit about responsibility to your employees. In a one man operation this would be you...

    A computer-ethical dilemna

    I agree that it depends on whether you were in a situation to do other work in the mean time or not. I have run into a similar problem in the past. I was required to coordinate my systems integration work with another company that made the custom business software. Should I charge for the time...

    router bad?

    It sounds like you are saying you hav two known good ports and two known good computers. I would use one of the known good computers to test all the ports in the router. Then use a known good port on the router to test the flakey machine.

    what's your favorite email client?

    I used to do like you do with my Palm. It has since died. These days activities outside the routine are scarce. I wake up in the morning and read through my old emails to see if I have anything planned. I don't forget the important appointments and when I forget the others I don't worry about...

    Iraqi crisis explained...

    I understand that the proof may exist but I do not have high enough clearance to see it. There is of course the possibility that the proof does not exist and security clearance is being used for a cover. Powell said during his briefing that he could not tell all he knew. He also indicated that...

    Car Accident

    In the wreck I alluded to before, I puposefully relaxed at the last moment. I used to drive that car in such a way that both my thumbs should be been dislocated. I chalk it up to relaxing. Dunno really. All in all the wreck bent the frame on the other vehicle (an F250) and nearly totaled the...

    Car Accident

    I have been in a 40MPH wreck with a seatbelt and airbag. I was in no danger of breaking anything on the airbag. Besides, I would think it takes quite a bit to fracture a facial bone. If the seat belt is tightened properly I don't see how you could impact the seatbelt. Even then, the nylon...

    Car Accident

    A hernia is a condition in which part of the intestine bulges through a weak area in muscles in the abdomen. Relaxed muscles would certainly allow intestines to bulge through more easily. I am of the opinion that the conservation of damage in relation to staying relaxed in a crash would be...

    http://slate.msn.com/id/2078196/ There is a whole cadre of European nations that are not conlicted about the justification of removal. The loudest seem to be countries who believe the world still revolves around them. Take France for instance. For the longest time and in so many ways France...

    should I use a VPN

    Again, unless you live in student housing and run wireless at home. At least some Cisco equipment lets the administrator restrict access based on MAC address (linksys products do too). If they are not requiring this I would definitely VPN.

    Activations problems multi-booting WinXP?

    Legalities aside, IIRC you only have to reactivate if there are significant hardware changes. MS activation servers would likely treat the second instalation as a a wipe and reload as no hardware has changed. I've not tried it though.

    If it were not economically effective they would stop. They do studies all the time to determine which combination of methods works best and in what volume. Maybe the telemarketers should start selling blood pressure medication.

    cas: DOS/Windows batch programming help?

    This is the funtional equivalent of Fushigi's code: for /F "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %I in ("%date%") do @md %I-%J-%K As is this: for /F "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %I in ('date /t') do @md %I-%J-%K Maybe the second is more universal.
