Both parties are pro-rich. Otherwise, Lieberman wouldn't be in the pocket of Arthur Anderson, Daschle wouldn't be in the pocket of the airline industry, etc.
Personally, I'm not going to let who the RIAA appoints as their CEO dictate who I vote for in '04.
*All female crewmembers return to port preagnant. *When conflict breaks out, it makes port in a non-involved country. *Has a suite of bedrooms for rent at $50,000/night. *Equiped with a double compliment of distress beacons and emergency signal flares. *Flight deck lined with astroturf.
So I go throught the Taco Bell drive-through, and my total was $3.51. So to avoid getting back 49 cents in change, I give the cashier $4.01. The girl gives me 49 cents change. Rather than argue the point I just drove on. If people can't handle an extra cent, how are they going to handle an 18 cent piece? That requires, like, math and stuff.
The problem is that 99.9% of the successful artists out there don't own the rights to their own music; the labels do. So if you want to sell popular music, you have to go through the labels. Yeah, you could just refuse to work with the labels and only offer self promoted artists. So you'd be stuck with the Dixie Chicks, Motley Crue and Moby. Not much of a selection, and without the draw of a large artist-base, you're not going to convert the masses, and thus not change the system. I think that Apple's new service is a first step in a positive direction. The next step would be for Apple to create an "Artist Affiliate System", where an artist/group can offer their music through the service and receive 50% of the profits or whatever. Who knows if Apple will move in this direction, but it could, over time, drastically change the industry. Rome wan't built in a day.
Look at it this way: All they really cut out of AOTC was all but one of the scenes in which JarJar speaks! It was a superb improvement to the original cut.
Then why is it that most of the web development job postings I've seen for the last couple of years say "minimum 10 years of HTML/DHTML programing experience required"?

Mom's car need an oil change? Don't do it. She'll only blame you when the car eventually breaks down.
Dad need help putting up new drywall? Don't do it. He'll only blame you when there's water damage.
Sis need help picking out a PDA? Don't do it. She'll only blame you if it doesn't work just right.
Friend need a ride to the airport? Don't do it. He'll only blame you for the turbulence.
Girlfriend need a cat-sitter? Don't do it. She'll only blame you when it dies a month later.
I'd almost agree with this, but keep in mind that the developer(s) needs to design the product with the user in mind, and if the system is too complex for an average user to figure out and is targeted at non-technical users, then someone is to blame. Remember, the nipple is the only intuitive interface; everything else is learned.
...comes from the Matrix. The shot of Keanu sitting at his desk, in a cube farm where you can hear several dozen people typing, talking, printing, etc, as he sits and stares at his blank monitor. I do that for 20 minutes at the start of each day. Plus having to wear a suit/tie when you don't deal with anyone other than your boss for the majority of the day.
There weren't any blacks/asians/etc in military inteligence in the 40s, so the 75% of the characters that are MI would be out of place if they weren't white. Keep in mind that at the time restaurants, schools and even military units were segregated, and to have them integrated in a show set at that time would be historically inacurate.
CNN is far from a right leaning organization. You're talking about the network owned by (Hanoi) Jane Fonda, and that employs James Carville (a high ranking democratic strategist) and Paul Begala (counselor to president Clinton).

I was working for a client a while back that was using tomcat in a huge production environment, but due to non-disclusure agreements that I signed, I can't give you any details about the system, or even tell you who the client is. All I can say is that it is a large financial institution that used tomcat to serve out data to several hundred corporate users. It was being implemented to replace a mainframe system. Wish I could supply some real detail.
I was privileged enough to get to see this film at one of the few theatres equiped with a digital projection system. All I have to say is that my jaw never came off the floor. The picture was by far the crispest, clearest picture I've ever seen. Throughout the entire movie every single strand of hair on John Goodman's character was distinct and had it's own amount of bounce. By far the most technically impressive movie I've seen. I really think that if the picture hadn't been as clear it wouldn't have been as impressive.

You'd probably be best to keep it for when "the other Hillary" runs for the White House in 2008.
I can just see it now:
Blamer (Bathed in sweat and stomping arround the room): "Berliners! Berliners! Berliners! Berliners! Berliners! Berliners! Berliners! Berliners! Berliners!"
Ude (looking quite confused): "For God's sake, someone get this freak a doughnut!"
"Which is the real Howard Dean? That is the question."
The one with the 'I heart Neville Chamberlain' tattoo on his forearm.
I'd settle for anyone in the press that understands the meaning of the word "unilateral".
Features of the USS Clinton:
*All female crewmembers return to port preagnant.
*When conflict breaks out, it makes port in a non-involved country.
*Has a suite of bedrooms for rent at $50,000/night.
*Equiped with a double compliment of distress beacons and emergency signal flares.
*Flight deck lined with astroturf.
Sorry, couldn't resist.

Some hackers figure out how to create a Perl script to flood the ballot box, and CowboyNeal is the next President.

The real question is do the encrypt the string?

Apple was also the first to support USB 2.0. Go figure..
The Story About Ping is a must read for anyone who uses this utility..er..duck...
..."it is illegal to let consumers watch what they want to watch". That's practically what they're saying.

This isn't always the case. My ISP doesn't 'support' linux, but in this case
Supported == Known to Work
Not Supported == Works better, they just don't care.
I've only had to call tech support once -- to get the dns numbers and phone number of the modem pool.
Unfortunately, they've sold all their customers to MSN, so after Dec 31st, I'm not only not supported, but actually banned from the service.
If the jpeg format was "lost" just think of the sheer quantity of pr0n that would be lost along with it...
