The idea of Seasteading is to have individual "seasteads" that are relatively inexpensive (the cost of a nice house) that can connect together with other seasteads.
Starting fairly inexpensively but building up into a full city over time.
They've been working on this at http://www.seasteading.org/ for several years now. Cities in the sea, and being able to move your "Seastead" from one city to another if you don't like living there.
A lot of people were voting against ObamaCare this time around. But considering it took 60 votes in the Senate to get it passed, you would need 60 votes in the Senate to end it, plus getting past an Obama veto.
Any propaganda you read about Republicans working to repeal ObamaCare is all hype. It can't be done unless they gain 12 seats in the Senate and take over the presidency in 2012.
Until then, enjoy your premium increases.
So if it was a cell phone, the guy walking in front of her doesn't notice her talking to somebody?
This day and age, someone just talking and nobody is there you readily assume that they're on their phone.
Back in the 1920s she would have been considered a mad woman talking to spirits.
Imagine electric cars charged wirelessly while either parked at a parking lot or while driving down the road.
That would be a great use of the technology.

Coming in May there will be a Boxee Box for about $200 that streams content via wireless or wired connection with several output options for your TV.
Quite the cool setup with a remote that has a keyboard like a slider phone.
I hope it lives up to the hype. I'll definitely be getting one.
I have the Palm Pre and I usually play the games while in the bathroom. The major games I play are solitaire, checkers and chess. The checkers and chess kinda suck because the computer is far too easy to beat (sacrificing bishop to take out pawns, missing opportunities to check mate me, etc.) I tend to kill off my queen in my first few moves to make it more challenging.
Other than that there are some multi-player/build your guy up type of games that I occassionally keep up with.
By everyone using as much bandwidth as they can, they can demonstrate to AT&T how much money they could have made if they had a cost per bandwidth setup going.
The accounting guys are foaming at the mouth for this to happen.
So you need one professional driver for every 8 cars to do the driving.
How is it saving fuel if for every 8 cars your new train system has to have 1 more car burning fuel?
You're adding 12.5% in fuel to save a few mpg.
Ok, maybe I've completely missed the boat her but...I still don't understand the whole iTunes hystaria...
Why pay for proprietary formats of music that you can only play on certain devices? My Palm Pre plays MP3s, why would I want to go out of my way to make it sync up with something that requires me to pay for music?
I had the iPhone for a while, I never used the iTunes thing. I never saw any reason, and I could never figure out how to get it to play MP3s. The Palm Pre you just hook up to the computer and drag your MP3s over to the music folder.
Plus you can ssh into your Palm Pre and manipulate the Linux files. The only thing I miss from the iPhone is the ease of use of the voicemail.
I also get a buttload of free apps on the Pre.
At first I thought it said "Snow Leopard Snubs Documentary Creator Code"...meaning some guy was doing a documentary about a Snow Leopard and there's some code of ethics between documentary creator and animal in that the animal is not supposed to eat the Documentary Creator.
Up to 90% of US paper money has traces of cocaine.
Title 21, Chapter 13, Subchapter 1, Part D, Section 844.
"It shall be unlawful for any person knowingly or intentionally to
possess a controlled substance unless such substance was obtained
directly, or pursuant to a valid prescription or order, from a
practitioner, while acting in the course of his professional
practice, or except as otherwise authorized by this subchapter or
subchapter II of this chapter. "
As a defense contractor I can see how something can go for $18 million over 5 years, I've had similar projects along those lines.
Figure an average salary of $75k over 5 years gives you 240...but a rule of thumb in the industry is that the salary is actually about a third of what it costs per person...you figure in the equipment cost per person plus overhead, that gives you 80...spread that over 5 years, you have 16 workers for the website. Take about 6 of those workers out and replace them with server cost/network cost/software licenses and that leaves you with a small office of 10 people working on the site from hardware guys keeping the server running to developers and system admins to managers, Human Resources and marketing guys.
So in the end...probably 2 web developers, 1 database guy, 1 hardware guy, 1 system admin, 1 HR person, 1 project lead, 1 manager, 1 secretary and one big boss that got the contract and is working on others.
I've been in the same situation you're in. I used to down a slim fast on my way to work and then during lunch drive to the gym for a quick work out and on my way back to the office, down another slim fast.
Eat a very light dinner...a small meat and a small side. Drink a LOT of water.
Now, with this job I skip the slim fast and bring my own meal to work. I still go to the gym at lunchtime but I eat my lunch at my desk throughout the day.

Man I hope not.
Don't you mean "Hope and Change" not?
Ron Paul 2012 FTW!!!

Maybe because most engineers are terrorists.
I'm thinking some programmer forgot to comment his code. Thank you, sir, for your warning.

Is this why there's an article today that RAID's days may be numbered?
Atoms are blue. I guess that explains why the sky is blue...it's full of atoms.

What a coincidence that all of us from the top 1% are commenting on the same article at once.
We better hope it doesn't somehow fry our brains, otherwise the other 99% won't be able to figure out how to make TVs and Interwebs to entertain them.
