  1. I'm a Puerto Rican I moved to the US in 2001 and i totally agree if you are here you should speak English. Yes Spanish is my 1st language and sometime I have trouble speaking Spanish and the only time I speak Spanish is in my house or next to friends that I know they also speak the same beside that English all the way. If you move to this contry learn it or move back to whenever hell hole you come from. also I support the freedom of speech but because we have 14million + immigrants doesn't mean we have to establish a dual language crap. English is the Official Language and have to stay that way.

    PS

    sorry if I offended any one

  2. A Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) allows telephone lines to make faster connections to the Internet. It is a network device, located near the customer's location, that connects multiple customer Digital Subscriber Lines (DSLs) to a high-speed Internet backbone line using multiplexing techniques. By locating DSLAMs at locations remote to the telephone company central office (CO), telephone companies are now providing DSL service to consumers who previously did not live close enough for the technology to work.

  3. CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts (AP) -- The vaunted "$100 laptop" that Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers dreamed up for international schoolchildren is becoming a slightly more distant concept.

    Leaders of the nonprofit One Laptop Per Child that was spun out of MIT acknowledged Friday that the devices are now slated to cost $188 when mass production begins this fall. The last price the nonprofit announced was $176; it described $100 as a long-term goal.

    Spokesman George Snell blamed the increase on a variety of factors, including currency fluctuations and rising costs of such components as nickel and silicon. He said the project was committed to keeping the price from rising above $190.

    While less than $200 for an innovative, wireless-enabled, hand-powered laptop is a relative bargain, a price nearly twice what the project's memorable nickname promised could make it harder for One Laptop Per Child to sign up international governments as customers. Those governments are expected to give the computers to children for them to keep and tinker with, which the project's founders believe will cause critical thinking and creativity to blossom.

    "Where does it end? It started out at $130, then it was $148, then it was $176, now it's $188 -- what's next? $200?" said Wayan Vota, the former director of the Geekcorps international tech-development organization and current editor of the OLPCNews blog. "You have these governments who were looking at this original, fanciful $100-per-child figure, now we're going up towards or maybe past $200."

    One Laptop Per Child says it has commitments for at least 3 million of its rugged "XO" computers, though it won't disclose which countries are first in line. Among the nations that have shown interest are Brazil, Libya, Thailand and Uruguay.

    The "XO" machines feature an open-source interface designed to be intuitive for children; a sunlight-readable display; very low power consumption; built-in wireless networking; and a pull cord for recharging by hand. The laptops are being made by Taiwan's Quanta Computer Inc., the world's leading manufacturer of portable computers.

  4. i used to be a B-52 weapons loader in Barksdale AFB, LA and the truth is when they move the nukes from base to base they can do it by land (truck) or by air. what i mean by air they move it on cargo aircraft( ex. C-5, C-17). But this was a big ups from Af's officials.When we do the Nuclear exercise we are allowed to load real nukes on the aircraft, we can run the engines on the aircraft simulating a real world commitment, BUT they are not allowed to fly real nukes inside the aircraft belly or on the wings thats a threat of WAR!!! thats why people are being "fired" (not really they will force the guy to retire because of his rank) and every one in the pentagon is freaking out.

  5. i believe you can use a 3rd party program

    or you can use the remote desktop feature of M$ if you use the M$ i believe you need to know your ip address and the desktop at home you create a password for it and you have to activate the remote desktop feature on the PC at home. Kinda rough but some one can explain it better
