Banks offer safe deposit boxes where you can safely store media as a flash drive, cd, or even a small disk drive. Use an offsize rotating backup schedule of 3 devices to ensure you always have one in the safe.
This should be required reading for any programming putting software on the web. It details some 50 basic vulnerabilities that must be avoided. Its also a good starting point for the Q/A team and test planning.
Just a WAG here - they'll charge based on pixels (screen size) and you'll get what you pay for. If you want to spoof your 80" HDMI TV to a phone size to save on the download, then your video will look terrible (or very small). So you can buy 800px, 1040px, 2400px or 6000px for your viewing experience - its all up to you. Pixels sent basically relate to bandwidth.
But will the studios cheat and up-scale a 2400px to 6000px so they can charge you more? Time will tell.
I just got the Gen 1 version of the camera. I like the small package size and the small price. You can use it to just take regular pictures, but you can have a lot of fun composing creative photos that takes advantage of the refocus capability to tell a story in the photo using the foreground and and the background as distinct photo elements. For example, a foreground subject tells one story, but refocus on the background element and the meaning of the story suddenly changes in a surprising way. Fun.
So the range of mass extinction events ranges between 5,000 and 60,000 years and were caused by natural events like volcano and asteroids. I say keep collecting data on climate change for another several hundred years before making any more dire predictions about rapid change and the end of the world.
On the surface it sure sounds like it has the structure and makings of the indentured-servant, only a short difference from slavery. There are plenty of unemployed and under-employed in the USA today. I give this idea two thumbs down.
I'd suggest:
Continue to downsize Detroit city limits. Reduce operating costs.
Employ locals for demolition and cleanup work
Clean up the town zone by zone
Clean out government corruption
Reinvent - attract new business with tax incentives. There is no going back to the old model.
It seems the factor was the amount of pressure between the fry and the oil. You could probably accomplish the same thing by submerging the fry in 2 ft of cooking oil rather than floating them on the surface. Not as much fun though.
I concur about not cooking with olive oil - that's for cold dishes since heat destroys it. Cook with natural peanut or coconut oil, or lard for bacon flavor fries. Avoid the chemically refined and stripped vegetable oils.
It will likely start with the city bus system funded by taxpayers. Just move the overhead power lines underground on selected routes to test the concept. The encrypted signal is so other users can't steal the power without a subscription. Quick, someone patent storing energy in a capacitor so you can get the car/truck/bus the next 100 yards down the road.
If the problem to solve is trivial, then perhaps offer a solution. If its hard enough that you'd worry about doing free consulting, then switch tactics and ask questions, deep probing questions to make sure you understand the whole picture. The interviewer should be able to determine from the questions you ask that you know what your are doing, or at least you know what you don't know which is also valuable to solving a problem. If they keep pressing for a solution, then they're either unethical or incompetent so you should either walk away or raise your rates.
We run into this periodically where during a bid tender and proposal process the customer is asking for the solution pre-sales. Then it becomes a game of chess - to demonstrate that you know what you are doing without giving away the cash-cow vs. winning the business/job.
The BSA has a lot of of great learning materials for all ages. For 9 year olds, check the Wolf and Bear book electives - all sorts of stuff in there. Also the Sports and Academics programs - belt loops and pins. For older kids, the Merit Badge pamphlets are terrific resources.
Boy Scout Chemistry MB Cub Scout Science
Some great chemistry experiments for young ones are:
Electricity from salt water
Non-Newtonian liquids (corn starch)
Slime (polymers)
Menthos + coke bottle rockets
Vinegar and baking soda bottle rockets
Strawberry DNA extraction
litmus tests using dyes from garden veggies
sugar crystal growing
magic rocks
surface tension (soap, oil, water, etc)
states of matter (ice, butter, dry ice)
Keep it simple and stuff they can relate to. Be sure to talk about safety on dangerous reactions, acid and alkaloid burns, etc.
Check out also the Khan Academy online - lots of good stuff in there.

You used to be able to get a free subscription from Lego Club. You can probably pick up collections on Amazon or eBay.
These are good to get now for when he's about 6.

I recall some discussion that Sun put IP protections on Java to prevent companies (hello Microsoft) from creating a non-compliant product and calling it Java, rather than using that IP to profit. It looks like Oracle is twisting the original intent. Besides, Java is hardly original, having drawn heavily on prior art from C++ and Ada. If Oracle succeeds in this, it would seem to open the door to claim copyright on entire natural languages like English and Chinese.
Hello,
Unfortunately, Governor Brown has signed into law the bill that we emailed you about earlier today. As a result of this, contracts with all California residents participating in the Amazon Associates Program are terminated effective today, June 29, 2011. Those California residents will no longer receive advertising fees for sales referred to Amazon.com, Endless.com, MYHABIT.COM or SmallParts.com. Please be assured that all qualifying advertising fees earned before today will be processed and paid in full in accordance with the regular payment schedule.
You are receiving this email because our records indicate that you are a resident of California. If you are not currently a resident of California, or if you are relocating to another state in the near future, you can manage the details of your Associates account here. And if you relocate to another state in the near future please contact us for reinstatement into the Amazon Associates Program.
To avoid confusion, we would like to clarify that this development will only impact our ability to offer the Associates Program to California residents and will not affect your ability to purchase from Amazon.com, Endless.com, MYHABIT.COM or SmallParts.com.
We have enjoyed working with you and other California-based participants in the Amazon Associates Program and, if this situation is rectified, would very much welcome the opportunity to re-open our Associates Program to California residents. As mentioned before, we are continuing to work on alternative ways to help California residents monetize their websites and we will be sure to contact you when these become available.
Regards,
The Amazon Associates Team
For class notes, the shoebox is the perfect bucket sort container for paper you'll probably never reference again. Works especially well for utility bills, bank statements. Mark it by year and possibly by broad topic so you know if you have to shred the contents or just toss it.
I don't get it. A government court can order you (or a company) to purchase a commercial product you don't want to buy and its not even health insurance?
Anyone who is serious about computing should watch this Connections episode by James Burke that takes you from the water wheel and jacquard loom to modern day computing. Its simply amazing.
Interesting, they just tore down a similar system called Solar One in Daggett, CA. There is supposedly another project going on east of the Mohave Desert as well.
In a another fishing expedition for illegal downloads of music and videos, lawyers for the two organizations hope to land a huge payout of $25 million for songs and videos at $6,666 per song or video found on the drives.
I just use a big file storage box and toss them in (LIFO queue). Once a year, about tax season, I sift though (query table scan) and toss out the trash (delete query) that got in by accident, pull any missed tax related docs (move queue query). Sometimes I'll stack bills by type or account (bucket sort on doc_type/account), but don't go so far as to alphabetize them (index by date).
You can do reduce the $2 cost to nil by recycling a copy paper box from work.
After 7 years, I pay my kids $20 to shred a box or two for the work ethic.
Not only is there a gas tax, but you also pay a federal excise tax on the rubber tires which sort of relates to miles driven (as measured by tire wear).
California had also considered the EV effect on gas tax revenue. They were proposing a GPS based system for gas tax and highway HOV lane use, but it seemed to exclude/avoid non-resident vechicles, not to mention huge privacy concerns.

You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
Unless you're out to catch fruit flies, then use apple vinegar.
Remember my grandma's saying: "Miracle Whip ruined the dip"
A shot of (apple cider or balsamic) vinegar in the morning will kill excess yeasts in your digestive (which may be causing your allergies).
Sugary foods will feed the yeast (perhaps making you tired)
White vinegar is also great for cleaning stuff. Like laundry stains, bathrooms, or calcium buildup on the shower head.
Don't Panic. Just carry on.
I'd suggest:
Continue to downsize Detroit city limits. Reduce operating costs.
