America leads the world in yearly work hours (1940 hours), with the except of Japan and Korea.
Northern European countries have fallen from near 3000 at the beginning of the 20th century to 1500 or less now. This includes leaves and long vacations.
In fact the number of American work hours have increased in the past couple decades due to more women working full time, and the overtime work ethic.
Why is this? One explanation is the Puritan morality that "work is good". This reappears in cycles- the 50s/60s Corporation Man, 80s Yuppie, 90s Dot.commer.
Another explanation is the tax and benefits structure. You dont get decent benefits until you work fulltime. To the employer, high employee overhead mans working existing employees more rather than hiring several to do the total work.
The Xbox has dollar bill slot like you find on ATMs.
Except this one only takes dollars in.
In this way MS can dispense with all the hoopla about
supporting this or that capability and get to the point
of what the Xbox is really about!
The most energetic cosmic rays are 10^14 more
energetic than the largest human accelerators.
The tradeoff is "luminosity". You may only see a
few of the highest energy cosmic rays in a year,
while you want zillions of hgih energy particles
in an accelerator.
Qwest ISDN, Northpoint, Rythms, Excite, then AT&T.
Two backrupcies, one buyout, and employer's
directive about service to use. The startup costs
themselves would pay for three years of service.
Is the next big thing happening and cosnsuming lots of univesity cycles.
All those 2 GB files, a couple hundred times those music files, take InterNet II capacity to push about in reasonable time.
I don't like it when people put limits on themselves (as opposed to reconizing they have limits). The kid will have done far better to choose the most challanging environment he could grow in.
The provide go.com link takes you the weekly top
list. At the top of table is the "all-time" link.
It appears to be inside a database cgi and is not directly linkable.
The states drivers records databases are collected into a central commerical database already for the purposes of (1) driver insurance (2) car rental screening (3) job application screening (integrity) and (4) general credit screening.
Thats always been the requirement for court action.
The cases sited here have been false and damaging.
Electronic communication accelerates the making of claims and discovery of prepetrators.
The mass is deceptive.
The body is closer to the size of the Sun than Jupiter.
Still brown dwarves are important to study and may be very common in the universe.
If one finds a way to predict (i.e. compress) "random" numbers, then it is no long random. That means it has some deeper mathematical structure.
What could happen is that so-called "random" information in human cultural datasets are far from random and highly compressible.
Both are are mountains and somewhat inhospitable. Both have big bad guys living there and are deamonized in the press. Both are southwest of Europe.
In the European mythic memory, the southwest was a constant source of trouble- the Huns, Jihads, Mongols, Turks, etc.
These are not Christian, but pagan stores from Zoraster (polarity of Good and Evil) and the Norse myths. Paganism isn't all bad as Xtian writers would make it out to be. Most religions had a core morality and a belief in a greater good.
Both FOTR and Oceans 11 were chocked full of characters- over 20 major characters in each. Yet I felt I new the Ocean 11 one better because the screenplay was much better and aimed at characters. FOTR had a mediocre screen play. One sign is a lead-in narative. Another is are location sub-titles. All this should have been worked into dialog.
I want to know what every bit and electron does in a computer. A MIS would bore me silly. You get far deeper into computers with a CS degree. Most employers dont care, except for computer developers.
If it is recession times like now, then employers will be very picky about degree type, especially with less than five years of experience.
During booms, if you can spell XML, your hired!:-)

The ugly box with standard, interchangeble parts
will always be cheaper and more powerful than
something fancy.
I am curious if Microsoft will sell a tablet
computer, e.g. a large, flat touchscreen
with the rest mostly hidden.

If you look at the "all-time" list,
ten of the top twenty were sci-fi. Another five
were fantasies.

are among earthly creatures promoted as being highly intelligent, if we could communicate with them.
If the governement taxed email, say a penny a piece, legitimate users would harly notice, but spammers would be tanked.
I could only find a fraction of the posts I made in those early years.

At least his scam was believable enough to fool a thousand people. ZeoSync got to choose a more believable scam to beat a 17 year old.

India contributes about 47% of the visa holders
and China 9%, accorded to latest figures I've seen.
The rough cuts are done.
Just have to add F/X and music.
Please! Pretty please?
I can't wait that long!
