I agree. The other thought I had was that you are only young once. College puts in you a unique environment where you are with thousands of your peers. If you live among them, you can develop lifelong bonds (which later in life can help you network), and have lot of fun doing it. I'm not suggesting you go to college to party, but I know I would really regret it if I had even lived at home (e.g. with parents) while completing a degree.
Through this additional interaction it is easier for you to get involved in extracurricular activies.
Anyone else notice a trend in his economic growth examples? The trend sites individuals who experienced economic growth through their intellectual property rights. Sure, there were others who profitted off of these inventions, but in order for them to make a profit, someone had to pay for their invention.
Economic growth does not just come from the masses paying a few. Economic growth comes when productivity increases. When inexpensive software allows many to increase their productivity, there is more economic growth. Further, this growth fuels a desire to contribute to the mechanisms behind increased productivity (here: open source software). This further increase productivity and results in greater economic growth.
Did you read the article? Obviously not, because it specifically mentions that the primary marketing will be focused as rescue equipment. When there is a fire, an elevator is not an option. And stair wells often fill with smoke, if not people running down the stairs to get out.
Actually many earth worms in North America are invasive exotics. They were brought to the continent for bait, but they have devistating effects on the ecosystem of forrest floors.
I had the Apple II version of the text based Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy game. It came with some great stuff, including a DON'T PANIC button (this was back when people wore those things).
Even though I never beat it, I found it much more enjoyable than the PC RPG's of the time, which used beautiful CGA (EGA for a few) graphics. My imagination was always more colorful. I've been quite tempted to find images and run it on an emulator.

It seems like the best approach is really to find another means of advertising where users can't immediately delete the message upon seeing the subject header, and before seeing the actual content.
What about TV? It is usually a dead giveaway when the show your are watching has yielded to a commercial. What stops the user from seeing it is no longer the show, and getting up an using the bathroom? Changing the channel? Not only has the viewer missed your PAID advertisement, but the viewer can never retrieve it (unless he/she has a Tivo and is really bored). With SPAM, sure you can delete it but if you skip over it, at least the recipient can view it at a later time (why, I don't know, but they can).
The difference is that with spam, you get a free introductory account to an ISP, buy an inexpensive list or inexpensive address spider, and then send out as many emails as you can before the ISP cuts you off. Other advertising methods cost thousands of dollars to produce and thousands to purchase media time. That is why spam is so common - no entry cost. If you spam 50,000 people, and make $10 per response, a small 0.1% response rate still nets you $500. If you bought the list for $20, that is a good rate of return.
The problem is that many (maybe even all of the current HP models) low cost inkjets (and some lasers from other brands) use a host based print engine to reach the highest resolution and color depths, and especially the best speed. Most are limited to about 300x300 in DOS, Linux, or any other operating system that doesn't have the drivers to print full speed and full resolution. Because networked printers generally are used by workgroups, they are more expensive and capable of higher loads, and thus have more processing power built in. But for ink jets (and many other parallel/USB/single user printers), you can use the host computer to do complex processing to offset costs. But Linux cannot do that processing unless the printer manufacturer releases the details necessary to process the print jobs.
Then you start to ask how they are going to breed. Do salmon ever breed in the open ocean, don't they return to where they were born to lay eggs?
It is my understanding that the farm raised Salmon are still programmed to breed where they hatch, so in this case they will breed in the farm.
It would be interesting to see what the success rate is. On one hand they have had their instincts blocked, since they can't fight up stream to reach their breeding spot (which likely was a tank near the farm). On the other hand, there is a low mortality rate (or at least there should be) since few die trying to use all of their energy reserves to reach the headwaters of a stream.
Actually, Linux is dreadfully slow on the Sun4c architecture. The hardware MMU does not work with Linux, so it is all done in software. While it does reduce overhead to run Linux, I found it was still quite slow on my SS2. For Sun4c machines run OpenBSD/NetBSD. You will notice a difference. The hardware MMU on Sun4m and later SPARC CPU's is well supported by Linux.
The Apple Studio Display title applies to all of the current Apple display product offerings. The $399 product you are looking it is actually an overpriced 17" CRT. Go ahead, order one.
I work for a publishing company that has produces a magazine targeting truckers. Several staff members were invited to a small demonstration and sales pitch. They wanted two things - one, to get the idea into publications' minds so they would be more likely to make feature stories about XM Radio, and second they want to begin advertising relationships. I'm certain that truckers are not the sole target audience, but it is obvious they made a point to advertise to them. They aren't just looking at the truckers themselves, but the fleets too, perhaps as a potential employee benefit for the fleet drivers. It would sure be nice to have the same radio station when driving cross country, especially if you do it for a living.
It is also important to consider vacation time. The average paid vacation time (used, not given) in the US is around 10 days. Holiday time is important too, with about 10 paid holidays given to most people. I know in Europe the numbers for these are a good bit higher.
Anyone else get the feeling this guy thinks he is "above" everyone else?
So as I'm sitting here working and playing with my Palm, people tend to whip theirs out and play with it, as if to say "Hey, I'm one of
you, look, I have a palm too..!"
No, you're not one of me. You could never be one of me.
Then he goes on to show and tell his huge collection of handhelds in a similar manner. Later he brags about how he fixed the guys week old problem in 60 seconds.
Is this really the type of guy we want to trust a secondhand story from?
Right but that introduces cost. Not a huge cost, but enought that in a low-margin market people will avoid it. And the main intereference problem I'm talking about is running the wires from the power supply to the rest of the computer. You can shield it some too, but to remain felxible it is harder to shield it enough.
Yes. It also uses convection to cool the CPU and other components. Since the Cube is small, they don't have to worry about users adding many internal peripherals to add more heat to the formula.

You're just mad because your wife read that article too and started looking over your shoulder when you were on the computer.

After more than two weeks in Key West, it is going to be damn hard to get motivated to work again.
I bet development on these dinosaurs is really slow. I wonder what the kernel compilation time on a 68010 is.

I just hope for the sake of the Pacific Northwest that it doesn't end up being a caldera volcano like Yellowstone.
You got that lecture for the past four years and you're just now a sophomore? hehe

I can just picture a bunch of young Texans in their oversized duallies (huge pickup trucks) trying to drag the bones out of the ground with a chain.

Nah, just being silly.
The Xerox map server was running in '93, and it was more technically interesting than any web store.
But which type of project was more lucrative?
The 64bit chip is smaller than a Pentium too. And a 486 for that matter.
