by the government sending them a letter saying how much is owed.

The government does all the calculations.

I thought he had some saw blades in a cylinder on the inside of his coat.

Don't remember the title/author, but there was a book where the rest of the galactic universe was relatively at peace because all their planets had only ONE continent, so there was no division of ecosystems on land.

For those that still want to see this, the video needs Flash Player 9, and shut of Privoxy.

Profs:
If you want to ban laptops, then you need to go after cell phones, pagers, and everything else a student can bring in. I don't care about the result, as long as its uniform.
You may be required to change your teaching methods, to engage more students.

Students:
If you can't pay attention in class, it could be that's your problem. You may need to focus on the class and not care what screensavers are running on laptops, since you'll have to do the same thing when you are done with school.
Or gang up on the Facebook students and ask them to be more polite.

Put the desks facing each other, but with a wall at 5 to 6 feet high between each. They can have the privacy they may want, and to ask others opinions, they can call out or stand up.
Or ask them, but be prepared for 1 to say "Open" and another to say "Closed" and 2 to not care.

I guess the flaw is only important enough for submitter to complain about, not to actually do something about. Most likely bad phrasing/understanding by submitter or developer.

When in IT, weekly I'd get a "My document won't print", when it sometimes gets traced back to "Actually, you can't open your document".

I've had problems with some open source projects, and between my explanation or the developer understanding, it was "can't reproduce". Then I submit a test case that repeats it all the time, and developer goes "Oh, that way. Yup, broken", and the fix comes in soon.

Have an artist file suit against whoever filed the DCMA paperwork.
The artist should be entitled to the "lost sales" of the artists work on the same level of damages the RIAA claim.

I had a boss in the "big game animal" category. He bought two seats for each flight. He still was never comfortable, being over 6 feet tall like me.

Not really the cheap you intend, but USA military often removes the RoHS solder for the old fashioned lead solder. They do this because there is a LOT of data to back up the lead solder, and lead-free solder hasn't been studied enough. Their putting trusting something they know (good and bad on lead) instead of an unknown (lead-free).

....."approximately 500 employees. There are 30 people on the IT staff".....
That's a LOT of IT people, from what I've been told. For 120 employees, we did well with 2 IT staff (1.5 on help desk and 0.5 on development).
By that ratio, you'd need a total of 12.

Anyone else think this number is a bit high?
