Hard drive on on of our client’s server went bad so we replaced it. Being curious, I teared it apart just see what’s inside. This is top view before operation. It needed torques not regular screwdriver.
17. What is the main difference between the 1.xx and 2.xx versions of Postfix?

Occasionally a field engineer will need to quickly measure the frequency of periodic signals. These signals could be in square, sinusoidal, or triangle form. Certainly there are labs with the proper devices that can measure these signals. However it is costly, not portable, and needs an AC power source. We will design and provide a portable, cheap, handheld device to overcome these problems. Our device will work on battery power and contain a built in function that will permit the device to shift into a power save mode when not in use. This will allow for battery life optimization.

Unfortunately, there are some things that children should be learning in school, but don’t. Not all of them have to do with academics.

I suppose some of the variation between Boston drivers and the rest of the country is due to the progressive Massachusetts Driver Education Manual which I happen to have in my top desk drawer. Some of the Tips for Better Driving are worth considering, to wit:
[173.15b]:
“When competing for a section of road or a parking space, remember that the vehicle in need of the most body work has the right-of-way.”
[141.2a]:
“Although it is altogether possible to fit a 6′ car into a 6′ parking space, it is hardly ever possible to fit a 6′ car into a 5′ parking space.”
[105.31]:
“Teenage drivers believe that they are immortal, and drive accordingly. Nevertheless, you should avoid the temptation to prove them wrong.”
