Unless you're referring to the uniformity of a nice 80x24 text console, you're way off. Unix/Linux have oodles of different window managers.
Ever install office 2007 on XP? You end up with an application that looks like nothing else on the box and no way to make it even resemble anything else. It ignores window's theming and only supplies 3 bad themes of it's own.
I just want one that's waterproof. So I can read in the hot tub and floating out in the lake. I currently use a treo in a waterproof case and that's in the hot tub, but floating out in the lake the glare on the case is a problem. The only options I have found so far are rather expensive or have primitive screens.
Could be DOS 4. (The Windows ME of the DOS series.)
Pretty much everyone I know went from 3.x right to 5.
Except for those of us who needed to access large drives and hit 3.3's 32Meg limit. I was using 650M seagate drives at work at the time writing CD authoring software and DOS 4 was a godsend, much better than the hacks we had to use before DOS 4 (disk manager and EZ-drive).
Ohio. It's not that different here. The first time I tried to get my son's name on the list, they looked at my income and laughed at me. I had to keep going back to get them to understand the law allows him on the waiver list regardless of my income. He is now six years old. He's been on the waiting list since he was about six months old. We basically determined that he should be off of the waiting list and actually get the waiver coverage round about the time he turns 18. See what I mean about disgusting?
WOW, I guess that is yet another advantage to living in a rural area. That and going to the court house and having no line and 4 people to wait on me. I wonder what basis the lists are on, county or statewide.
My experience was the opposite, they told me we needed to get her on the list and I laughed at them and said we wouldn't qualify. They then explained that we would and 6 mo later (I was honestly expecting a long wait) we got the award letter, it has been very nice (especially when my work insurance added a stupid $1500 durable medical cap, one AFO costs more than that and she goes through 2-3 pair per year when she is growing).
On topic, I run my own business, a two-member LLC (my wife and me) doing consulting (mostly Linux stuff) and we are screwed royally as far as insurance goes. We have a child with a disability so: (a) being w/o insurance is not an option, and (b) we get the highest rate they can legally charge us: over $1,000/month. (imagine goatse man here, that's how disgusting it is)
I don't know what state you live in, but in Iowa once you get your child on SSDI (not too hard, at least for me). You can get on the waiver list and once you get to the front of the line you qualify for Title-19 (took around 6 mo for us). After that the state either covers everything or reimburses you for carrying insurance on the child. I know this because my 4 yr old daughter has CP and we have jumped through these hoops. Title-19 isn't purely income based, it can also be condition based. Providers bill our insurance and anything they don't cover is covered by title-19.
Get in touch with your local social worker, I can't imagine that your state doesn't have something similar.

Why would dish selling TiVo's be a good thing. I have one of each (got the tivo for free) and am planning on replacing the Tivo. The Tivo's interface is so SLOW it is painful to use, scrolling in the guide is so slow that the guide is virtually useless. I can scroll the guide on my 721 faster than I can read. The hardware and Operating system (the 721 runs linux also) on the 2 are similar so I can only assume it is poor programming on Tivo's part. I would be upset if I had to replace my 721 with a Tivo.
Really? This is suspect. The iPod has a very distinctive appearance, and a certain aura about it. I can't imagine someone calling their dull black Sony mp3 player an "iPod" without being corrected. Honest question: have people really been using "iPod" this way?
I don't know, I have a cheap hard drive based mp3 player I bought quite cheap and constantly have to correct people when they call it an iPod. Not that it looks or works anything like one, but to most people if it plays music it must be an ipod.

But in any case Palm Desktop will not import the DBA file, pops up an error dialog about it being an unsupported format. Maybe because I'm on a Mac? This is precisely why Palm should build it in.
I have no interest in having them built in, if I want them I will go and get them, please don't clutter my calendar with useless entries. The only holidays that I want in my calendar are the ones that my company follows, the rest are just confusing.
I am sorry that the linked files don't work with mac Palm Desktop, that is a really stupid move on their part, try vcal import. I know there are vcal us holiday files out there (My company provides their holidays to employees in vcal format).
And they aren't giving up on palm, just adding Windows Mobile to the mix for those who aren't interested in palm.
I'm not sitting there every year punching in two dozen holidays. Granted, some can be made to repeat, but many fall on odd times. There is no option in Palm for "Repeat first weekday after date X in month X" or "Repeat every Third Thursday in November." This is a basic feature of every paper calendar on the market. The people at Palm are total tools.
If you *did* like PalmOS, as I did, this is not an encouraging sign about Palm's support for the platform (you still can't make an appointment starting at 11 pm and ending at 12:30 am, or view national holidays, on the Calendar).
HUH? both are fine for me. Just import the holidays as appointments, how hard is that?
What puzzles me is how remote volcanic islands became inhabited. Hawaii for example. Theres no way early man could have sailed there.

If you think you have true clinical depression go and see a specialist, don't let your GP play with meds for mental issues. Go and see an expert, they better understand how those meds work.
"I think he was refering to the argument that without a copyright (which is a monopoly, by definition) there would be little incentive to invest in a large 'creative' project."
That part is true. We would never have had music if it weren't for copyright. Or books, for that matter.
I wonder how books and songs got written before there was copyright? It couldn't be people writing books and songs because they love to do it would it without compensation?
Next you will be telling me that people would never write software without guarrantee of monetary compensation.

Actually amtrak (the US's passenger rail system) doesn't have security at all. You can arrive as your train boards.

Title-19 (what we call Medicaid in Iowa) isn't purely income based, you can also qualify because of a handicap.
On topic, I run my own business, a two-member LLC (my wife and me) doing consulting (mostly Linux stuff) and we are screwed royally as far as insurance goes. We have a child with a disability so: (a) being w/o insurance is not an option, and (b) we get the highest rate they can legally charge us: over $1,000/month.
