    The united states Economy

    Typically what manufacturing companies do with their money during lean times is investment in infrastructure. In general make investments that will pay off some now but the big payoff comes when the economy picks up and they can do the same amount of business as before but faster or better...

    Well, the story did say he would return to have sex with their bodies days later, "Until the flies came." And that he killed them because he didn't want to pay for sex.

    All about Java

    IBMs website is very confusing compared to Sun's. I went looking for something smaller than that which you linked to. While looking around I think I saw where IBM's Vm is 1.3.1 based while Sun's is now 1.4.2 based. Is that number the language spec? I also found this site that might be helpful...

    The united states Economy

    This makes companies sound like charities. Companies are only obligated to employ enough people to keep the place running. "Jobless recovery" can mean companies have become more efficient in operations. This theory seems to be the one most prevalent today.

    The united states Economy

    I had to get my own insurance when I turned 25 because my parents insurance would no longer cover me. Unfortunately, there was a lapse due to a lack of specific communication on the matter between my dad's company and him. So when I got my own insurance, I was responsible for 100% of my asthma...

    Wired Cricket Balls to Enhance Play

    Sonic? I eat McDs for lunch every Tues and Thurs. Those are hectic days and it's close. Other than that lunches are usually at some non-chain place and dinners are at home. Eating is a necessary evil. Chick-Fil-A is pretty good. I like the taste of the BK patty better than McD or even Wendy's...

    All about Java

    Bugs aside, are the JRE implementations from different vendors supposed to be directly interchangable? Can you compiled java programs to be stand-alone and need no JRE? This would of course alter the final programs portability.

    All about Java

    So I know Java is a programming language designed and maintained by Sun to be very portable. I can see that there are some options in IEs options for "Java VM" but I also know that I had to download and install something from Sun so that Arachnophilia and some Novell tools would work. Can I...

    Best movie you've seen

    You might also like Anger Management. It's not nearly as sophmoric as other Adam Sandler films but not quite as serious as PDL. It still centers around an underdog character who grows by taking a chance.

    [NEWS] - Novell buys SuSe

    I have recently become more experienced in the administration of Netware (NW) 4 & 5 through NDS. In my opinion, this is where Novell stands out. They never sufficiently courted and therefor never sufficiently had developers to build products for the NW operating system (OS). Considering the...

    Review of new Toyota Prius

    As Buck noted, the owner humerously refered to the range of his vehicle as "At least a quarter mile." That's the only evidence I have either way. Other than they use the NHRA rulebook.

    Network question

    Even if you could do it I don't think that would produce the results you want. That solution would send all inbound and outbound IP packets through both cards. Good for redundancy, no advantage for throughput, bad for network congestion. The later part of this thread should be enlightening.

    Review of new Toyota Prius

    As you indicated Craig a lot of the feel of speed is related to how high of the ground you ride. I have noticed this when driving my parents mini-van vs. small GMC pickup vs. my Legend. At the same speed, the lower the car is to the ground the faster it feels. Why? What aspect of that sort of...

    I kinda like the smell of skunk spray. I dislike pig farms the most. I'm always on the lookout for ways to help families keep their farms and grazing land profitable so that they don't have to sell out to developers desiring to change horse farms into house farms.

    My new toy

    My Remington 700 with bull-barrel and bipod was purchased from the SWAT team at a state auction. Nice looking piece Clocker. Tanfoglio sounds familiar to me. Seems like my dad has an old .22 pistol from them. I prefer a Glock over the 1911-style grip angle.
