So I drive to Nevada and make a purchase, drive back to California and need to pay the California tax on that purchase. Did I hear this right? Dual state taxation on the same purchase?
Something sounds very very wrong with that concept.
Get rid of Unity. Nuff said
Seriously guys. Unity? This was the popular UI of choice?
Playing with the classic desktop instead or maybe I'll checkout kubuntu. Hopefully they didn't butcher it too badly in 11.04. I've met one online who likes Unity. And I think he was a bot actually. Go figure
It's because they didn't upgrade to Windows 7 yet isn't it

You knew that was coming right
Just checked, ignoring £1 and £2 coins I've got 10 x 20p, 2 x 10p and 4 x 5p, fairly typically except I'd usually have a few 1p/2p coins and maybe a 50p. So 12 quarters doesn't sound at all unusual to me.
Especially since those 12 quarters were in my wallet
Nobody has suggested the TSA are really intelligent anyway. In face the last time I went through the metal detector my wallet set it off (I had 12 quarters in it). Put it through the scanner and the guy smiled saying "Wow dude, you have a lot of change!".
I replied "How much do they pay you guys??"
Seriously, 12 quarters is a lot of change? I guess at $14.95 an hour it must seem like a lot
I'm curious if anything has really happened with community development of titles open sourced in the previous two bundles. I'd be interested in checking out community builds.
And while Jack Claw is Windows only in this release, I wonder how long it will take to get ported since the source is being released.
Reading through one of the release announcements there was a guy (joel) who said Jack Claw was initially a windows release but will be released for Linux soon. I'm hoping that's the case myself.
We have a couple dozen also. We're running Hadoop which means the RAID controllers are not needed. Would have been VERY NICE if Dell had told us we could have purchased these servers without them (apparently it IS an option).
On the plus side, 12 RAID 0 drives works very fast in our cluster
Running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Haven't had a drive disappear yet and we've had them for several months working 24x7
Concast really doesn't care.
We, the sophisticated western people would never do such a thing. Take a web site like that nasty wikileaks that is publishing our diplomatic small talk. We would never ever dream of kicking them from their hosters, cancel their bank accounts, block/ddos their web sites or imprison their founder.
Cross my heart...
and hope to what?
Yes, but burst speed or sustained 24/7 speed? You do realize that Comcast will cut you off after 250 GB/month, right? That's a sustained download speed of 96 kB, or less than a Mbit/s under constant use.
That would depend on how the ISP is selling the service at. Some advertise based on burst speed and other's do not.
In all cases you will have a top speed the provider is advertising. Concast (for instance) offers various tiers including 3/6/8/10 and so on up to I believe 100 Meg speeds today.
I'm aware about the 250 gig limit btw. The contract I signed with them 8 years ago was 'unlimited use for a flat monthly fee'. Today they don't provide that service anymore. Especially since they did cut off my family and several other's on my street for using 'unlimited' too much.
Good riddance.
4 years Concast free
So you are suggesting Concast's 6/8/10/12/50 Meg solutions are comparable to the local DSL's 1.5/3/5/7 Meg solutions?
Seriously?
You're comparing burst transfer rates. In many places, Comcast has a cap and your allowed sustained tranfer rate 24/7 is less that 1 Meg. Never had a problem with a cap on DSL.
Actually I was thinking in terms of download speeds.
At least isn't that what the government tells us?
Right, because you don't have any embarrassing secrets. You don't tell friends things in confidence.
Thanks to this leak (and to the idiotic flubbing of security in the first place), it will be at least a little bit harder for American diplomats to make friends who will tell them things in confidence.
Well with friends like that....
Comcast cable internet is rarely the only option for internet in any given community. There is almost always an option to get a DSL product from the phone company. Which means you basically have to have a landline. So you pay somewhere close to the same amount of money for much slower internet.
If I was in a community where it was DSL on AT+T copper or comcast I'd probably go with comcast.
There is fiber optic cable ran within 10 feet of my property. It will someday have phone/tv/internet going over it. At the moment it is dark, but once it is available
So you are suggesting Concast's 6/8/10/12/50 Meg solutions are comparable to the local DSL's 1.5/3/5/7 Meg solutions?
Seriously?
I'm in that predicament. I live in the third largest city in Utah with over 100,000 residents and yet our options are pretty much that. I have 1.5 Meg dsl or I can go back to Concast and put up with their BS for another 4 more years.
Not much of an option. Too bad our City Council doesn't have the political backbone to push for better solutions. And yes I've looked into wireless. It's worse.
The following statement is not true. The previous statement is true.
