While we're calling the kettle black, your own site only 'tentatively' validates as html 4.01.
I disagree, I think you jumped the gun a bit in your judgment.
The site dynamically re-allocates the content across multiple pages based on window height window and font size. (Small window = 'page 1 of 7', large window = page '1 of 2'). So, though it may not use your entire big monitor left-to-right, it does expand top-to-bottom, and redistribute the content across the appropriate number of pages. One great thing about the site is that all content is loaded in the first request, and if you click to the 'next page' or resize the window, resize the font (using the handy font++ buttons), it doesn't need to fetch anything more from the server.
Not only that, it still keeps the text in easily-readable, time-tested, newspaper style three column display, or a single long column (which would make it ideal for handhelds, I'd bet). Again, all without another fetch from the server.
Not really sure what specifics you're dealing with, but just go into a real hardware store (not a harware shopping mall like home depot) and ask the guy (or girl!) with the most nicks and scars on his hands. They could probably do it with a swiss army knife.
This intro doesn't really do the subject justice. Anybody with even an AOL email address can probably digest something a bit more technical than this...any reference to "virtual reality" pretty much gives it away. Here's a better one: Archimedes lets researchers try different treatments or change the processes of care for a disease and then explore the effects. For the four diseases it models so far, Archimedes creates thousands of simulated "people" at risk of getting or who already have a condition. These "people," each with different characteristics, grow older, get diseases, interact with the healthcare system, and live with (or die of) their diseases in similar fashion to populations in the real world. "If you're looking at evaluating any kind of care management program with different protocols, you can program them into Archimedes and see what the results are in both outcomes and costs," explains Matt Stiefel, associate executive director of the Care Management Institute.
they can get a mother from the birth center to the delivery room/OR of the hospital in 3 minutes in case there's a problem (like an emergency C-section).
Try holding your breath for 3 minutes.
Try it, then see how long it takes your psuedo-medical team has to get the doctor up to speed as to what's happening, what's been done, and to figure out what to do next.
60 seconds without oxygen is enough to cause brain damage in a newborn. An accomplished OB/GYN can do a c-section in 10 seconds if necessary.
Don't get me wrong, I know that most deliveries can be done without any doctor intervention whatsoever, and up until the last few years, most medical birthing techniques actually interfere with the natural process. BUT when things don't go to plan (and depending on what stats you read, that can be about 20% of the time, esp. for 1st time moms) you need a doctor, and you don't need one across the street.
Part of the reason that ob/gyn malpractice insurance is so high is due to people who rush into emergency rooms after trying home births (granted, not what you're talking about here). A doctor has never seen you, never seen your ultrasound, doesn't even know your blood type or allergies, and are expected to rescue the situation.
Science is a good thing people. If you live within driving distance of a city, you should be able to find a birthing center that has midwives, doulas, AND doctors all under the same roof. Anyone that doesn't probably isn't responsible enough to be running a birthing center anyway.
I have to laugh out loud when I see the wipe warmer on the list of "must-haves."
We regard it as one of the signs of an "uber-mom." Right up there with Eddie Bauer stroller, the $75 patagonia fleece jumper that will be outgrown in 2 months, and yoga for infants. (Don't get me wrong, we put our kids in play groups, but not $20/hour ones.)
Also, as far as the point about car seats, I would NOT recommend getting one that fits 3 stages. The goal is not to but the least amount of gear, the goal is to protect your child's little melon. As such, you should get the safest and most highly tested one for infants, even if it only lasts you until 20 pounds. Then you can get a convertible one that lasts through the next two stages. By convertible, I mean it faces backwards until they are 1 year/30 pounds, and then faces forward. Don't be afraid to drop cash on a nice infant seat.
Who gives a rat's ass if it clips into the stroller (most will sit safely on the stroller anyway). Get a basic, decent, light stroller, they're worth it in the long run. I know there are a lot of gadget geeks out there, but the modularized crap they sell you is mostly garbage.
hm. There are so many factors to consider, and your question doesn't offer many details.
1. A cheap one - If you're starting a business from scratch, you probably want to conserve cash. As such, you may need to look for a cheap place to live...many states have them, but you can do your own homework to see what the cost of living is. The cheaper the area, the cheaper your legal/incidental expenses may be. However, this may affect your access to:
2. Broadband - I don't think it matters what state you're in, you need to either be withing range (3 miles) of a CO or a cable ISP. You could be in the 'most wired state' and still be outside of range. Unless you go with satellite access, in which case, I think you need an extra phone line for uploads. Then you could probably work anywhere, except on really cloudy days.
3. What kind of business? Are you going to be pounding the pavement looking for clients? In which case, you'd better be near lots of them, possibly offsetting point 1.
4. I hear maryland is very business-friendly. You don't have to live there to register your business, and I think they make it quite easy to do via the web. If I'm not mistaken, they're somewhat lenient when it comes to business taxes, though you can find the other benefits by asking google.
5. If this is really going to be a 'virtual business' then it shouldn't matter. Find somewhere where you like the weather or the nightlife or the mountains or the beach. In the long run, whether your (online) business succeeds or fails doesn't hinge on where it sits, it's on what you do with it. Though you may want to be within 50 miles of a decent job market in case one (or both) of you needs to get a real job...
At a local hobby shop, they now have a sign instructing you to inform the FAA of the approximate day and time of your launches.

Their online privacy policy goes out of its way to prove they respect kids' privacy online, but apparently the name and address on the label is up for grabs.
Count yourself lucky. Fact is, I never used to get them either.
If, however, you make a decent salary, open a new credit card account or two, buy and/or refinance your home, and cycle 10-30% in bohemian bourgeoisie charges (computers, vacations, fancy espresso machines) through your cards annually, you'd soon discover that you're considered ripe fruit.
You'll get 10 calls a day, profiled according to when you're most likely to pick up the phone (i.e. home from work, reading your kids a story, or otherwise enjoying peace and quiet). Of course I can use the exercise but running through the house to check the caller ID isn't quite what I had in mind.
While I generally don't need mommy and daddy government to tuck me in bed at night, the fact is, under the current system, there is no theoretical limit to the number of calls I could get. That is, I tell one company not to call me, but there could be 300 more out there buying or otherwise scavenging my number. A national DNC list establishes a single choke point, something that your suggestion does not.
And before anyone starts in on me, I have followed advice from junkbusters and written 20+ letters to everyone from my bank to the credit agencies to the credit card companies instructing them not to share my address or phone number, and I still get 15 calls per week. Even my 2-year-old got junk mail from Disney and MSN (thanks to the bastards at zoobooks selling her name and address).
Obviously the industry is incapable of regulating itself.
Why not wine, or would that necessitate purchasing a legal windows license as well?
What's the real goal, to be able to open this file (and presumably others like it) without touching windows? Why not emulate it? or don't you have a copy of the software either?
Perhaps you should ask for the credit history of the COO and CEO. After all, you are putting your financial future into their hands, and it should be within your rights to monitor their financial abilities.
On second thought, you should post them here, so we can all offer our expert opinions on them.
It gets worse. There was just a Chicago Tribune story about the various deliterious effects this is having on all aspects of life. One guy was denied multiple jobs purely based on the results of his credit report.
You need a decent score to get a phone, utilities, and now a job. Ridiculous, but the fact is, it's an employer's market these days.
What's next? "Well, we need you to pee in this cup to screen for genetic susceptibilities. Also, you'll need to sign this pledge promising not to smoke, to lower your cholestorol, and to have safe sex.

"On-line and other mail-order merchants who don't have to collect sales tax have an unfair price advantage over local bricks-and-mortar stores," J. Craig Shearman senior director of media relations for the NRF, told internetnews.com. "We support a level playing field for all merchants, regardless of whether they sell their merchandise from a storefront, through a catalog or over the Internet. All retailers should be required to play by the same rules."
Why change this now? The local and state governments have missed out on billion$ in mail-order taxes for years. I wouldn't be surprised if the mail-order companies keep fighting this to the bloody death. This is their bread and butter, and their revenues probably outshine online sales 100 to 1.

Don't confuse a search engine with a public forum.
However, he wanted to sit in a coffeeshop in town and use his home network, so he claims he installed a couple of high powered "pringle antennae" climbed tree, installed another one as a repeater in a tree somewhere (to get around a mountain) and he was in business.

If you could determine them, you could create conditions that make it ideal for water molecules to disengage from the organic material, and to crystallize with one another. You're left with snow in the air and a pile of crap on the ground.
Probably useful if you have a place and use for the snow, but my guess is it would be too expensive for long-term disposal.
