netboot.me is a service that allows you to boot nearly any operating system or utility on any computer with a wired internet connection – without having to know ahead of time what you'll want to boot. Once you can netboot.me, you never need to update your boot disk again!

netboot.me works through the magic of netbooting. There are a number of ways to boot a computer with netboot.me. The simplest is to download a bootable image and burn it to a CD, USB memory stick, or floppy disk. Boot off it on any networked computer, and it will automatically fetch the latest boot options from netboot.me and let you choose from dozens of installation, recovery, testing, portable desktop and other tools. You can also start netboot.me from any computer running gPXE, or from any netbootable computer with some simple tweaks to your DHCP server.

Ben Hogan's premise in this 1957 classic is driven home in bold letters: "THE AVERAGE GOLFER IS ENTIRELY CAPABLE OF BUILDING A REPEATING SWING AND BREAKING 80." Religions are founded on less, and Hogan's detailed analyses and illustrated demonstrations of grip, stance, posture, and the two basic components of the swing make up a sacred book. Though its very simplicity seems dated, this is the tome of technique that should serve as the foundation of every golf library.

Odd stuff too with the Fás student program. Fás had a program where students would travel to the US to work with scientists there, locals were paid a stipend to represent Fás as well. These locals were responsible for paying the students their expenses.

In 2007 the expenses for participants were reviewed, money paid to students amounted to approximately €133,000 while €374,000 was advanced to local representatives for other expenses incurred. €210,000 of the cumulative advances was unspent at 31 December 2007, yet this was still charged to Fás accounts.

Fás made advance payments to the local representatives based on anticipated expenditure. They kept doing this without reviewing whether or not there was a need for more expenses to be advanced. Thus, by March 2008 a person in North Carolina had a float of €140,000 worth of Irish taxpayers money at their disposal.

EFF has big news in our long-running Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) battle over telecom lobbying documents: the government will finally release some additional records this week.

This case started back in 2007, as Congress debated granting immunity to the telecommunications companies that participated in illegal government electronic surveillance. News reports detailed an extensive and expensive lobbying strategy in support of the controversial immunity proposals, and EFF wanted to know more. So we used the FOIA to ask for information about the behind-the-scenes negotiations with the Department of Justice, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Congress, and telecom lobbyists.

so if you type 888.com it 301 redirects to www.888.com which is a 302 using their affilate link to track.

The search engines list the www.888.com so they see a 302 redirect every time.

I am confused here so i need to refresh my memory on 302 and the concequences and just think about this for a minite.

I remeber matt cutts talked about redirects a while ago and listed quite high in the search engines for 302 redirect is

That was back in 2006 and i cant read anymore of his crap and tattle because it makes we want to vomit.

I can't help myself, I seem to spend inordinate amounts of my time working inside a remote SSH tunnel on a daily basis. And nothing is worse than trying to decipher the default dark-blue/green/red colors against a black background in PuTTY.

For now, I will attach all data we received as is relating to the calendar years 2003 and 2004. 2003 is being made available in full for the first time, as the last few months of that year had not previously been FOId. For now I will post the documents as I received them from the Oireachtas. We will be gradually adapting all years into online spreadsheets.

For the record and as part of an ongoing FOI request, here are all expenses, allowances and salary figures of all TDs and Senators, 2005 – 2008. I received them today via email from the Houses of the Oireachtas Commission. We hope to digitise this data shortly.
