I'd agree, facebookers are addicts, much more highly motivated to get their fix than a saddo would be.
I wonder if there would be a world food shortage if all the farmville players actually worked on real farms for the same amount of hours.
So I ran that page using Firefox 3.6.3 and it says that it passes all of the Geolocation tests, looking at the spec though it suggests that it needs to ask me before passing that info.

"user agents must acquire permission through a user interface, unless they have prearranged trust relationships with users"
If you run that page it does not ask but if you run this page
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/geolocation/
it will check with you before revieling your details.
For trademarks one of the claims people can make is that you are "passing off" i.e. pretending to be that company or in some how related to that company. Hence you should make it very clear that you are not that company/organisation.
There is information on trademarks etc at the British Library IP Centre

The electronic equivalent of a blank cheque is called a "Direct Debit" it authorises the company to take as much money from your account as they want as often as they want.
Surely the point of slashdot is to discuss the higher level and principles rather than the fine details. If the origional poster wanted to ask a very specific question with config files etc they would find a linux forum or a forum for their specific hardware.
Yes, this definately works, I had a book that once lasted for an 8 hour flight and then intermittant use for the rest of the week. It did not quite make it all the way through the flight on the way back though. This was with the default settings that came with the book!
Dcam and Turbidostato are so right. However you can also ask a lot about the company when being showed around, particularly things like dress code can be asked then rather than in the interview.
I once asked a first interview panel why two of the board of directors had left in the last 6 months. They did not give a convincing answer so I turned the company down
I have some old Sinclair Spectrum "backups" on audio tape, not sure if they can still be read though.
All of the other tape formats I've used have become obsolete in a couple of years so I can see how tape is good for short term corporate DR but not really for longer term of making sure essential photos etc don't get lost.
Just because your business is different to a domainer, does not mean that their business is not a valid one. Advertising on an unused domain is a perfectly reasonable business and is really no different from advertising on the side of a building whilst you are waiting to sell it. If I visit "flea.com" because I'm interested in getting cheap meds for my pets then it provides exactly what I am looking for. Would that be more or less valid a use if it had "Freds Light Entertainment Associates" hosted on it.
Squatting implies that the domains are gained for no effort or that they are free. Yes, some of them are bought at a low price and some of them have a large mark up. However, it's not an easy business to be in, advertising has to be arranged, hosting paid for, design work done and portfolios managed. It's still a business, same as yours.
Why should different domains not have different values? Is this any different to the price of a square foot of land having different prices dependant on it's location?
To answer the origional question, my tips would be to find out what other businesses have paid for their domain names. The price will depend on the things listed above, the number of others who have enquired about the same name, price of similar names, current googlepage rank, links in, age and lastly and rather unfairly how much the seller thinks you will pay for it. Check archive.org to see what the site has been used for previously.
I don't buy or sell domains as a business but I've chatted to some people who do.
Our Dev servers used to be called after Warner Brothers characters
Taz, Sam, Whiley etc.
The business part of the office used 3 letter for location, 2 digit counter, 1 letter for type. This was fine till we move an office and only some of the servers went with it, at which point we ended up with a mess and ended up renaming all of them.
At college the servers were named after star systems e.g. Caster, Pollux etc.
If you can get hold of the people who have previously been on this experience then you should be able to find out where the internet cafes are.
Take a cheap laptop, write your emails offline and queue them up for posting. Got to cafe exchange emails then go off to do the interesting things in that port.
In advance you could also create a site for people to list which internet cafe's have good facilities with maps and details of how to get there from the port.

I think that the "I've got an app for that" pad is a significant threat to other time wasting products.

Kayaks are made of plastic, I'm not sure you need a big car to transport those, a light trailer would suffice.
I'm still trying to comprehend the fact that some people have cars that only do 20mpg. Do the USA have really long miles or really small gallons?

A standing order would be the most appropriate choice here.

Try replacing the nut in front of the keyboard and see if you get better results.

The Wind does have a way of installing internal USB components but is apparently a little short of space. http://forums.msiwind.net/hacks-and-mods/wind-mod-internal-port-usb-hub-and-sdhc-card-reader-t5896.html

Nope, I was thinking the same. Microsoft could argue that it costs more to supply products to the EU as there is extra legal costs.

That's what I do, melt those disks using charcoal and turn them into more useful things.
smash the keys and melt the drives

I thought this was a good idea until the first time we moved an office...
How about getting Mr Bayliss to make us a clockwork printer?
Thermite is a little overkill, can easily melt metal platters with some charcoal and a small fan.
