If someone asks for help (especially for friends who may not exactly care whether somethings \"best\", only \"easy\"), just answer the question. Alternate suggestions may or may not be welcome, depending on the wants and needs of the friend, but simply taking the opportunity to make a stab at Norton ...

My main nick that I use elsewhere in cyberspace is Erinthios, but much of that comes from the things I've done with the people that I knew from the game that Erin was created for. It's my default RP nick. Plebeian is my Descent nick, been using that since playing multiplayer D1 at a friend's house ...

Texas "Texas. It's like a whole other country." ;) Freaky states notwithstanding, I'm not all that well-traveled, only having been to England, Wales and Scotland. I'm not even that well-traveled in the US. I've lived in CA and TX, and have visited NV, AZ, NM, FL, VA, MD and DC. Been to Rainbow Arch ...

I think I'll have to answer with "WMP10 hates you". :oops: Or maybe it's Windows. In any case, Bill Gates probably has a back door into Windows and is having fun breaking things for people. ;) Maybe someone else has some ideas. (Other than "don't use WMP". I'm sure he's aware of other options. WMP ...

No idea, ccb. :( "Display media information from the Internet" should be the proper option you'd need, and it's obviously selected. And you can get information if you request it. I don't see why it would be this, but have you made any changes to your firewall lately? Really haven't had any problems ...

Only have 9 on this computer, but check the Privacy options. There's an option to look up data for your CDs/DVDs in there. I'd expect it's still lurking in there in 10. Just make sure it's checked. If it's already checked, no idea.

What are the Jewish beliefs concerning Jesus? From what I recall (most of my knowledge of Judaism is from a few textbooks and some Jewish (religion) friends, so I'm hardly an expert), they view Jesus as just another in a long line of prophets, while of course Christians view him as the Messiah (who ...

"Heil" me, too, whee. Though I'm more of one who knows what the proper spelling and grammar is, but don't feel the need to go and correct everybody. Some don't know they're wrong, some don't care, and that's a lot of people being wrong to correct out there, too much work. Just know that you're doing ...

Blah, that's no fun. Good luck in the continued search.

Plebeian

Cool, good luck with the interview.

Looks like Crossroads is still partnered with EMC, though since I haven't worked there in years (and the products I was helping to QA no longer exist), who knows what exactly they do with each other now.

The SAN space can be interesting, should be fun.

Plebeian

Closest to using anything from EMC was using the SAN routers that my last company made (some of which are rebranded for lots of different companies).

Flagged by MS Word Spellcheck: "realise" Valid spelling, it's just not the American spelling. Most of the rest of the world would be spelling it this way. :) it should be: Spelling, punctuation and grammar. there's no comma before the end dumbass As I recall, a comma between the last to items in a ...

Hey, I haven't played in forever, and I'm still here! And occasionally do press a mod button, too!

*unwraps a Snickers* Or wait, you meant the other kind, right..... :oops: 56MB of RAM, those were the days. The computer I used for the first half of my college career (before my 333MHz iMac with 512MB) had 48MB. But it was a 16MHz 68030-based Mac, so what do you expect, it was about 8 years old at ...

Don't worry about it. As long as the teeth aren't really bad and the surgeon's good, there shouldn't be any complications at all. The most common issue is dry sockets, but you just need to be smart about what you eat and drink. My biggest pain was the massive bleeding afterwards. That and I passed ...

I'll second pun's advice. Get a G5 if you can. If you really need portability, the iBook should be okay, otherwise the Mini is probably the better bet. My dad's got a G5 iMac (about the same specs as you're looking at), and he's been really happy with it. It's seemed pretty zippy from what little I ...

It's not Amazon you're buying from, but a third-party vendor. It's not Amazon's responsibility to have the shipping data there, they just show whatever they got from the third-party (if anything, as in this case). Some vendors are pretty messed up, and get you in with a low base price, and make it ...

Thanks for straightening me out Plebian ... Good find. I was just interested in finding out more info on it, since I'm in Austin and hadn't seen anything here on it (or didn't remember seeing anything, at least). Did a few searches, ran across a blog entry that linked to that PDF (on the Fisher ...

I'd be interested in knowing how much he did give. It wasn't the full $1M price tag, but it sounds like it was a fairly impressive figure in any case. Even if he didn't fully-fund a new construction, I'm sure he made it a lot easier for another to be planned.

So they ...

Remember that from a viewable area standpoint, a 19" LCD will be approximately like a 20-21" CRT.

Too much history classes, I think. But it fits, I think. Just a lowly serf working the mines. Never was all that good, so didn't end up "deserving" a more "noble" name.

Evolution simply requires change. It's not running around stabbing everything.

(And I'd still like to know how you can measure time before the measuring devices were even created. But I guess you wrote the Bible yourself, so you know exactly what the authors meant.

)

Plebeian

Contrary to what you may believe, it's perfectly possible for one to believe both in God and in the theory of evolution. Contrary to what you've written, the Bible states that God created the universe in 7 days. Evolution states otherwise. You can't believe both. Our "day" is defined as a single ...

Plebe, in that case, let's remove all those bonuses that everyone gets for completing the project without going over the budget. Or, let's get rid of overtime pay, since you're just doing your job while you're there. Your clients give you money directly? Must be nice. (And I get no overtime, no ...

There's insurance policies for service? Why are we insuring a nontangible like that? Or do you mean ensure?

Plebe, you've stated as fact what is your opinion. In fact there is a very good alternative to having someone bring your food to your table: cook it yourself. Where has anyone said that the menu prices are supposed to cover waitress service? Good, next time I go into a restaurant, I'll demand to be ...

Plebeian

If you realize how much food actually costs, you'd know that the restaurant is making at least a 1000% profit on nearly every dish it serves. How is that not covering the costs of the service? Last I checked, service was part of a restaurants "overhead." This is the argument as I see it. I'm not ...

Actually, Plebe, mimimum wage IS enforced for tipped workers. The tip income is meant to be reported and the total of the hourly wages and the declared tips have to meet or surpass the minimum wage. Sort of. There's a lot of guesswork going on, and there's a percentage of cash vs. credit tips that ...

I hear what you guys are saying, but on the other hand, a good waiter/waitress can make a really good living for themselves. I guess I'm saying that I think the difference between a good waiter's salary and a bad waiter's salary should be the difference between making a pretty good living, and ...

Plebeian

Plebe: the government specifically allows waiters and waitresses to be paid less than minimum wage. I know. Which is why I say they're not enforcing the minimum wage. Tips are supposed to be above and beyond, not instead of wages. Why not just have everyone paid with tips and nothing else? You'll ...

Plebeian

i would agree with you if it werent for the owners of these restaurants paying waiters and waitresses $2 an hour. who can live on that without tips? 1) They wouldn't be getting such crappy wages if the government enforced minimum wage and people understood what a tip really was. The price of the ...
