Okay, I resisted this discussion until this email of yours, Stewart. Yes, business has a right to make a profit. But, does it have a right to maximize its profits by maximizing the exploitation of its workers? If the answer to that is yes, then I'd say you have no business of being in the

I don't know which amount is larger: bounced checks or fraudulent credit card charges (or even those who don't pay their credit card bills). Both cost all of us money. When we subscribe to a common thing (checks, credit cards, paper money), we also agree to be responsible for the risks

2008-06-13 Thread Adil Godrej
And they are still more expensive than DSL, although prices have dropped. We pay about $500/month for ours. There are outfits out there that say they can provide T1 for less, but I'd be curious if they can provide it for less and have guaranteed speeds. T1 lines run at 1.5 Mbps (up and down),

There are four flavors of Vista. Home, Home basic, Business and Business Premium. Actually, there are five: Home, Home Basic, Business, Enterprise, and Ultimate (what you are calling Business Premium, I think), in ascending order of what they contain (this can be read to be more good stuff

With an old (~4 year) Xeon machine with a single processor it took about 30 hours to run, with modest disk R/W (about 1GB total). The processor load was about 98% with nothing else (not even anti-virus or network) running. With two Xeons, the same machine would run two of those applications
