So those wacky survivalists might have the last laugh *if* some rare and devastating emergency happens to occur during their lifetime and they have specifically prepared for it. And that's odd to you?
Of course they will "have the last laugh" *if* it happens. The reason the rest of us laugh at them is because they are investing so much of their resources into their "pet" unlikely contingency.
I knew elbot was a human because he didn't like the phrase "KILL ALL HUMANS"
He's actually quite witty. He asked me where I had come from, and I said that there was a link on slashdot, his response was: "I wondered why there were so many geeks coming to talk to me"
For those of you who didn't read the article, you can talk to the winner here.
I've often thought, the answer to this was a portable generator module (designed for the car). Unlike a hybrid, you have a simple electric car for 360 days a year, and when, on occasion, you need to go a long ways, you "hitch" up a generator module, perhaps as a trailer, or as something that simply attaches to the back bumper or roof rack. It could even be a rental system, that way, getting a generator module could by mechanized in gas station-like facility.
Yet another reason these cars need a standard, *real* master kill switch. A big concern is all the electricity and potential explosiveness of the batteries after the wrong type of short. You don't want to start cutting into one of these bad boys during an extrication without shutting off the power first.
Knowing the latest cool buzz websites and understanding how to use technological tools effectively and responsibly for a productive purpose are two entirely different things.
Being able to use a wikipedia (as in edit) is also valuable to learn. There are plenty of times when a private wiki would be useful if everyone knew how to edit one, create pages, etc. Instead, we get masses of emails with hundreds of recipients and no organization.
How many times did you come running into work in your boxers with a major hangover at 7:59am screaming UNPLUG THE MAIL SERVER! UNPLUG THE MAIL SERVER!?
There's nothing stopping them from becoming the Nielsen of music. Theres lot's of ways to sell aggregated analysis of the database without actually selling the database.
The MMPI isn't designed like that. The questions are marked according to sub-scales based on empirical data (not what the question looks like it is asking, as you imply). There is also a "lying" sub-scale -ie. the type of answers that people who were trying to make themselves look good chose. To cheat, you would have to answer questions the way a stable, productive person would, but not the way a lying person would.
I'd argue that much less was learned building the shuttle. Thats why they are having so much trouble building a new launch vehicle now -no one knows how to build one first hand. If they had been building rockets for the last 30 years, the technology would have been improving in each iteration. We would be in an entirely different situation now.
SIP can do IRC-like conference calls (see: the ekiga wiki for some examples). Obviously, voice doesn't scale near as well as text for more than a few people.
True. if it's your site, it should be you "dictating the terms." But currently, you probably don't actually tell the users what the terms are.
One of the things he wants is a mechanism for you to label your code you serve -so that he knows if he can modify it/use it for other purposes, etc. The other, is that he wants a browser that can swap javascript code out for other code -kind of like greasemonkey scripts do now, but more. Seems reasonable to me.
You don't fund your tour on downloads, you fun the tour on ticket sales and merchandise (including "novelty" CDs). Downloads, like record labels, are simply advertising, and only the top 1% will ever make much money from either of them.
Since you are talking about a small band starting out. I don't see why selling signed CDs at concerts and putting sample mp3s on a website are mutually exclusive. I would snap up a reasonably priced CD at a concert, even if the band has some mp3s on-line. Especially if it was signed or came with a poster or something.
Digital distribution is advertising and it costs WAY less then signing all your creative effort over to a record company.
Products sold in Canada are also sweetened without corn syrup. Even American products -buy a Pepsi in Canada and it's sweetened with refined beet or cane sugar.
Theres nothing stopping the average person from driving a smaller car, one less family car, or riding the bike occasionally. A million people reducing oil consumption is better than a few people buying overpriced, 3-wheeled electric toys.
But the GP was unable to send email from the Linux box. I find it hard to believe that Exchange doesn't allow imap (and LDAP?) access, or at least SMTP. Then again, what do I know, I'm in a cushy university where I can always SSH into the UNIX server and send mail through pine if all else fails.
Hybrid PDF is fine for the final file format, but when you open it in OO, you have to re-export to hybrid pdf every time you want to save. It's not really convenient in the writing stage.

It's called an anonymous informant and a journalist.
Not available in Canada. I sure hope this is not the future of music on the Internet.

Last.fm *is* advertising.

That can't be stressed enough. Lung disease is the difference between playing golf and lying on a hospital bed sucking oxygen through a tube.
"You think that's funny? Your kids are breathing your exhaust. Now THAT'S funny".
The sad thing is, so are you, and your kids. Maybe that's why he's chuckling.

Why not put the URL on the shirt?
