Plumbers and software engineers now ... (Dec 31 2003 21:05 GMT) - Plumbers and software engineers now make the same salary. That should encourage more American students to invest in up to 6 years of college to become a software engineer, right? Christian Science Monitor: "What you can see is a pretty clear list of winners and losers [from free trade], and working people and small farmers are consistently on the losing end of the equation". Stated another way, by me, is that the costs associated with free trade are disproportionately borne by workers (or small groups of those who are adversely impacted), and the benefits are primarily accruing to others, such as business owners and politicians. |

I like red wine (cabernet ... (Dec 31 2003 21:05 GMT) - I like red wine (cabernet sauvignon, beaujolais, or merlot) and sometimes I'll have a glass with dinner. But if you're dining alone, or having dinner for two, you face the problem of how to keep the wine fresh after you've opened the bottle for that first glass. This Christmas I received not only a bottle of good vino, but also a VacuVin Wine Saver. You plug the bottle with the rubber cork, which has an aperture in the middle, and then pump the handle a few times to prevent the oxidation process for up to two weeks. It scores on two fronts; |

Tablet PC Benefit - Word Document Markup (Dec 31 2003 21:03 GMT) - Ever since I started working with (and writing about) my Acer TMC104CTi Tablet PC, I am regularly asked what the "real" benefits are when working with the device. It seems that most people do not believe all that they read in marketing literature. ;-)Actually, much of what has been written in marketing-speak for the Tablet PC is true. However, when written in general terms and bulleted feature lists for glossy data sheets,benefits really do not sink in. |
