If you want to use your notebook as a laptop and don't care about things like mousepads, I like the Xpad (xpad4laptop.com). It's thin and light and really keeps the heat off. All the others block your outlet vents and guard your huevos at the cost of heating up your machine, or they have fans that suck up your battery power. It's got this rubber stuff on the top so it really sticks to the system at any angle. There are some concerns as to whether it fits a 17" system, but it works great for anything 15" or under.
Getting rid of banner ads at the source is what causes most page loading time, and it's usually a fault of the browser renderer than anything else. A lot of times these javascript ad servers are horrible performance wise. It can also be the fault of the ad networking company when their servers get overloaded, causing undue delay before the ad is served to the client. Something to think about when choosing ad placement on a site.
Putting an adblocker of some sort or Mozilla Adblock Plus is a great way to speed up any page (from the user's point of view, of course).
I think having an accredited degree in CS or CompEng with a focus on game development (or graphics, or a double major in Literature, etc) cannot possibly be a bad thing. We're not really talking about that, though. We're talking about someone who is unable for some reason to succeed in a 4 year degree program in a small college or university setting. I think any trade school (ITT Tech, etc) is very limiting, and doesn't have much credibility in the marketplace.
It all really comes down to the following: 1. Your training gives you a foundation of knowledge to categorize and utilize new skills and tools. 2. The program that you complete has credibility in identifying and graduating successful candidates capable of learning and utilizing that foundation.
It's like what the USGA recently said when professional golfers complained about the difficulty of the US. Open tournament golf course. "We are not trying to frustrate the best golfers in the world. We are trying to identify them."
Has anyone thought about the possibility that space is not as empty as we think, and that it is only in the presence of a strong gravity well that high speed travel is possible? If you're going to run into a micrometeorite the size of a grain of sand at.1c you might want to make your interstellar spaceship hull out of unobtainium, or at least fire something at it to knock it out of the way.
Yeah, I tried those too. The problem with the powered ones is that they also drain your battery. Like I stated in another post, I have the Xpad. It's entirely passive, so it doesn't drain battery life. It's also pretty lightweight and fits in my case right next to my computer. They've got a good overview of the design of the thing on their web site. http://www.xpad4laptop.com/ The only problem is that it's made for a standard size notebook, so if you have one of the ginormous things, it doesn't really fit well. Maybe they will make one for my new Alienware, wink wink.
I did a lot of testing and the Xpad is the one that I bought. It's great. It really lets me use the thing on my lap. I actually got it a while back from the inventor at the Orange County Computer Show in Los Angeles, but they sell them directly on their web site at http://xpad4laptop.com/
Nothing will happen technologically until Cisco or some other major router manufacturer puts the software in place in the network backbones to perform these functions. Until that happens these "media companies" can bitch and moan all they want. Someone is going to have to develop the capability, and it sure as shit won't be their IT departments.
Since there's no hurricanes right now, maybe we can get one of those on-camera meteorologists from the weather channel to cover this from the top of the mountain? I'd recommend Stephanie Abrams, but it's too cold up there for her to wear anything skin tight. Also, I'd hate to see her die. Jim Cantore, on the other hand...
The only stumbling block at that time was that Shatner is signed as a regular on ABC's new drama series, Boston Legal, and would require time off to appear on Enterprise.
That's amazing! I didn't know he could still get work as an actor.
The State of Kansas only has to purchase 4 more cds at the regular price over the next 24 months, and all of the cds are absolutely free! They merely have to pay $2.79 each for shipping and processing. The selection of the month comes automatically, but the head librarian can return it back to RIAA and they will pay for the shipping. They even have a full 10 days to try them, and if the State of Kansas is not completely satisfied, they can return all of the cds and have no further obligation.

Type 1 diabetes is an insulin production problem. Type 2 diabetes is an inability to correctly process insulin that is produced.
When Old Faithful stops faithfully erupting every 65-92 minutes on average, the I'll be scared...
I'd be more interested to find out when teledildonics is available for my car. You'd better keep a wet rag handy when that technology trickles down...
Of course, everyone who buys google's stock is completely aware that they have almost no voting rights.
Well, apparently whoever moderated the comment must have been saying the same because he moderated it as a troll.
FTA:
The infrared model is available with the additional restriction that the patient be of elven blood.
Xpad is still better since this one uses fans to cool the laptop, and fans take power. The Xpad is completely passive.
The Xpad is much better than these. Neither of the lapinators stopped the heat from my aluminum powerbook.

I bet if you posted the url to your server to slashdot as a response, you'd find out how secure it was...

Being an illegal Mexican immigrant in the US appears to meet all of your criteria.
The U.S. banks would have blamed the problem on inefficiencies due to excess government regulation.
Why not China? I'm really interested to know. Maybe this is why it's a pilot project.
I would have been impressed if the CEO didn't tell him what data he thought was most important and he was able to both figure it out and acquire it.

Who'd have thought that slave labor would be so intellectually stimulating!

Yeah, they'd only still be valid if they were copyrights
