Scrap desktops every three years, says Giga - Active Home Giga said that companies should also be aware that certain key software vendors only plan to support hardware that is less than two years old with any new operating system product releases. Giga's report added that refresh rates can vary depending on how companies use equipment and how aggressively they move to new technologies. The analyst suggested that, as users shift their reliance from desktop to server-based applications, they may be able to justify decreasing the cycle rate. www.activehome.co.uk /computing/news/2069040/scrap-desktops-every-three-years-giga

Giga claims European ASP survey is wrong - WhatPC? Researcher Giga Information Group has slammed a recent ASP Industry Consortium survey on Europe claiming that it is inaccurate. According to Giga the European ASP market was low at $15m in 1999. But the report's author noted that the survey indicates that many businesses are using at least a prototype of an ASP model and that their remotely managed services are very likely to evolve into more refined ASP services. www.whatpc.co.uk /vnunet/news/2112542/giga-claims-european-asp-survey-wrong

Geology of the Kimberley, Australia The Kimberley Craton was formed by the deposition of 1,800 million year old (1.8 Ga or giga annum) sand and silt onto the floor of a shallow sea on top of an inferred Archean basement. The geologic history of the Kimberley has been turbulent, from volcanic eruptions to major extinction events to ice ages. www.lonker.net /nature_geology_4.htm

about-eng.html The basic fuel of power plant is natural gas, it is used at the volume of 3650m cubic meters per annum, and the reserve fuel is furnace fuel oil. The freight turnover is approximately 1,250,000-1,300,000 tons-kilometers per annum.

Audit Report - Energy Efficiency in Commonwealth Operations - Follow up Audit Seven of the agencies examined were, in 2001–02, performing under the 10 000 mega joules per person per annum target set for this category to be achieved by the end of 2002–03. The contract provides for an average of eight per cent of electricity purchased under the contract to come from renewable sources, resulting in a saving of around 14 000 tonnes of CO emissions per annum. was 7154 mega joules per person per annum, 28 per cent below the required 2002–03 target. www.anao.gov.au /WebSite.nsf/Publications/34405026AFC243FBCA256C920075548B

Chief security officers get big bucks Meanwhile, researchers at Giga Information pointed out that there is still little uniformity around how the CSO is compensated. This is closely matched by CSOs from the science/business sector, where they can earn as much as $100,000 but can expect somewhat smaller bonuses, at 10 per cent to 15 per cent. As chief security officers (CSOs) arrive on the corporate landscape, a new report has found that their salaries in the US vary dramatically between industries. www.itweek.co.uk /articles/print/2118051

Dramatic New Evidence That The Earth Is Not Old Now there is a great deal of high-quality new research being done by Creationists which is strongly supporting their claims that the Earth is much younger than 4.5 ga (giga annum). The Institute for Creation Research (ICR), the Creation Research Society (CRS), and Answers in Genesis (AiG) recently began a cooperative project known by the acronym R.A.T.E. adioactivity and the Age of The Earth). The debate has remained in a stalemate for a long time. www.thebigmystery.com /radiometric_discoveries.htm

XML Quotes in 1999 The biggest cost of Omnimark was not the purchase price (although $12K or more per seat [per annum, I think] would give most programmers reason to pause), but the cost of maintenance. A lot of people know Perl and Java but almost no one knows Omnimark, and maintaining a system that relies heavily on scripts written in an esoteric and virtually-unknown language can be extremely difficult and painfully expensive, when it's possible at all. It works until the predator is a speeding truck. www.cafeconleche.org /quotes1999.html

Welcome to Trade International, Inc. -- Articles 2.1 Archean (4.6 — 2.5 Ga) Earth’s Prehistory The Earth age is about 4.6 Ga (Giga annum — billion years ago). During 900 — 500 Ma (Mega annum — million years ago) the Pan African orogeny was formed and finished by the creation of Pan-African continent. In the period marine limestones and dolomites were probably formed from which marbles were created in today’s northern Greece (THASSOS, VOLAKAS, AJAX), Bulgaria (MURA) and Macedonia (SIVEC) after several phases of metamorphism in the Paleozoic, the Mesozoic and the Tertiary (Zagorchev, 2001, Moores, Fairbridge, 1997). www.trade-international.net /articles_naturalstone.html   (8086 words)
