not any more than I had to...

When I started at DEC in 1980 we had a PDP-11 running DEC Standard Mumps that had a program that did email. I believe it was actually called "email" too.
It was not new at the time.

It's a point & shoot but the combination of 12 Mpixels, Nikor lens and image stabilization in both still and video modes makes it 10 times as useful as any other P&S I've tried. Also takes 1080P video, fits in your pocket and costs less than $250. It can also do ricks like exposure compensation without burrowing 10 levels into a menu.

It had a keyboard. I think it was a DEC LA120.

Yeah done that.. paper jams were a bitch, though.

I remember even going to the trouble of cutting one of the leads in the RS-232 cable to make the logging printer a true write-only device.

won't tell you about Eric.

Oracle To Bring Disgrace to Linux ? Just saying, is all.

I started with Newton-Waltham Savings Bank, who was bought by Baybank, etc. etc.. and my mortgage was with Countrywide.

I have friends who used to be Shawmut customers, and Sunbank customers in FL and KeyBank customers in NY.. they're all stuck with BoA now.

In the process of switching out of BoA myself now. Just have to find a place to land my rollover IRA. Thinking TD Ameritrade.

This is inexpensive and very effective. You can even do two at once with a 3" nail!

In New England we have Summer, Fall, Winter, Mud, and then Spring (for about 4 days) before the first 90F day.

It may fluctuate between Winter and Mud a few times before settling into Mud.

We are being buried beneath the avalanche of your inadequacies, Mr. Creedy!

What we need right now is a clear message to the people of this country. This message must be read in every newspaper, heard on every radio and seen on every television. This message will resound throughout the entire InterLink.

It wasn't so much my parents the people, but their divorce and my subsequent adolescence without a male role-model. I switched to a vocational school and loathed the very idea of higher education. (Oddly they were both educators)

Now I'm almost 50 and getting my B.S. next year. I'm trying to emphasize to my kids how good an idea it is to get a degree while they're young and how hard it is later.

I work for a paper company, and during the ice storm of December 2008 we moved our accounting system to the paper mill so we could process some orders. The mill uses two big wood-fired boilers (aka bio-mass power) to make steam to dry the paper. The steam returning from the driers spins a 10KV turbine generator that runs the boiler house, with enough left over to power the comm. closet. They also have a 10KV propane generator with a honking big tank.

So the power for the server that day was courtesy of a truck full of chipped recycled pallets.

The Verizon box works well, too. I have two of them deployed, one in an office above an industrial plant. The whole plant downstairs gets good service. The bandwidth used is small, but you do want to reserve some otherwise when your internet is flat-out your cellphone calls will stutter. Also it has to be able to see a window for GPS/E911 (they give you a long cord for the GPS antenna)
