A friend of mine used to practice tax law. She always said that if the IRS tells you something and you are worried about it to get a signed and dated letter from them. In that case if it is wrong you have a big leg up in proving your case. From what she said the IRS will act a lot more agressivly if they think you were trying to cheat vs just messed up. Having the letter can be a pretty solid proof that you were doing what you thought was correct. (IANAL)
They are LARPERS not SCA. I'm the senischal of the Shire of Beit Aryeh (the SCA group that covers Israel) and I've never seen any of those people before. The sca in Israel is quite new and pretty small (about 15-25 people) but Role playing games both larp and table top are quite popular in Israel.
I belive larpers are generally warned before they get their draft notice to down play the fact that they are gamers before they go in.
There are a few, the first is that it is often cheaper. For me the big bonus is that I have a 646 area code phone number. SO even though I live in Israel my phone number looks like and acts like its in New York. So you can call me from the USA and canada like its a domestic call.
Not Costa Rica, they don't have one. There was a coup in '48 and after some chaos, the folks on top decided that having an army was in their case doing more harm then good.
A very good friend of mine did her PhD on Costa Rica, so I've heard a bit about it over the years.
Several years ago I was at a talk by the guy in the Mass state AG's office who deals with computer crime. From what he said the folks they go after are not the marginal ones (She could be 17 or 19, who knows) its the really bad ones, IE the girl is like 12.
The real thing that mono buys linux is a lot of application developers. A lot of people have put a lot of time and money into learning.net and its tools. They don't want to throw that away if they don't have to. So now we can say to all those folks hey you can use your.net skills on linux (or bsd etc) and poof instant linux applications.
The thing is that 95% of these people were not "spies" in the way that we think. They were folks who for an extra few marks or rubles would rat on their neighbors. Most of them were probably old age pensioners for whom an extra loaf of bread once a week would make a *BIG* difference. Eastern Europe under Comunsism was a very poor place.
Is that the item is from about the right time period or not. In truth if you could show that it is about 2000 years old it doesn't prove much. Lots of people died back then and where wrapped in a cloth. And the Romans used crusafiction as a standard form of capital punishment. So at best you can show that it was the death shroud of someone who died 2000 years ago via a more or less standard way of executing someone.
I love my (step) children, and the last thing my generation will do for them is to die and get out of the way so they can fill our shoes.
If my generation stays as productive adults forever (or close to it) they my kids must remain teen-agers for ever. The greats of any given generation only become great when those before them have exited the stage.

The one who is wise, to him you show every detail of how to use the Google API to the last SOAP call
The one who is contrary, for he will demand exact results on an poor query and be angry when google fails to produce
The one who is foolish, who can not understand the basics of queries.
and the one who does not know how to search. to him you will show the basics of how to search
Well you can get many nice monitors for less than $500, plus as many people have pointed out on other threads, you can take the monitor that already have and plug it in. If I were to buy one that is exactly what I would do.
Several, Shas (Jewish) and probably some of the Arab parties as well. I would say that I'm not a big fan of Shas, but then again I'm pretty much digusted with all of the parties in Isreal.
The party uses the radio stations to promote their agenda more or less. To be honest I don't listen to much radio.
The other thing you must realize is that in Israel there are no legal private radio. There is Kol Y'israel and Army radio and the Pirates.
Of course we have 20+ newspapers all private in at least 6 languages. (Hebrew, Russian, English, Arabic, French and Spanish)
Well its the standard Israeli response to anything, strike. (Don't get me started). It was a case in which the only way that the controllers felt that they could get their point across was by shutting down the airport for a day. I'm not sure if they did.
It didn't help that one of the Members of our Parlament from a party that runs many of these stations was sugesting that they should broadcast from the Knesset offices so that they won't be shut down.
Be careful Here in Israel there are a number of pirate radio stations. This is not itself a problem but they are using poor equipment and blasting harmonics onto aviation frequencies. That is bad. It has gotten to the point where the ATC folks have threatened to strike if something is not done about it because it can threaten aircraft communications.
Javascript definitly has its place. There are many things that you want to be able to do on the client side without forcing a full page refresh. But it can and often is used poorly. That doesn't mean its a bad thing when done well, but you need to understand not just the correct syntax of Javascript but the how and why as well. Of course this is true for all technology.
There are several ways you can go with this. If you want to do more of the front end stuff, learn DHTML, Javascript and graphics. If you want to do more back end stuff like application building learn PHP/Perl XML, SQL etc.
It really depends on which part of web space you want to be in.
The crown of Canada and the Crown of the United Kingdom of Great Brittian and Northern Ireland are legally seperate entities. When HM the Queen is in Canada she flies different arms than when back in the UK etc.
The short version of it is that HRM can grant honors to Canadians as determined by Canadian law and practice, and to brittish citizens as by Brittish law and practice.
Well during WWII the US physics community got real quiet. Basicly everyone was working on the manhattan project, or the rad lab at MIT (Development of Radar), or any number of other war work projects. So the journals got real quiet for a number of years.
Remember that many of the scientists involved were Jews who had left Europe to get as far from the Nazi's as they could (Albert Einstein, Leo Szelard, Edward Teller, Enriqo Fermi* and many others)
Pretty much all works created by the brittish state are copyright to the crown. This is not really HM the Queen in person so much as the legal body that the crown represents.

Well there is the issue of your time. I don't know about you but I don't have the time to spend a lot of hours fixing a car. Also where I live (Israel) the taxes on cars are huge. A starter new car here costs like $20,000 USD. We take the bus and get rides with our friends.
No its getting a bit silly. There seems to be 2-4 big groups of distros, Slackware etc, Debian and RedHat/Fedora and maybe Suse. Each of these has a distinct method of doing things. On top of that you have a bunch of distros for different countries, that are designed to support the language or languages of that country. And then you have a bunch for specific tasks (embeded, media center etc)
The problem is that there are now so many that you can't keep track. Every time I hear about a new distro I ask, so what does this one do that will help someone. For example a distro that defaults to Hindi has a definite use, its for people who want to work in Hindi. But I have no idea what half of these will do better than my fedora install which is working quite well really.
I'm sure there is. IBM (and others) spend a lot of money trying to figure out what will be hot tech in 5-15 years. Whenever this 100TB tape hits the market I would bet IBM will have found a way to make it run at a reasonable speed.

I have a logitech wireless keyboard and mouse. They didn't come with any drivers for the mac, but they work fine with OS/X.

Legal point about HM the Queen...
The crown of Canada and the Crown of the United Kingdom of Great Brittian and Northern Ireland are legally seperate entities. When HM the Queen is in Canada she flies different arms than when back in the UK etc.
The short version of it is that HRM can grant honors to Canadians as determined by Canadian law and practice, and to brittish citizens as by Brittish law and practice.

* Fermi was not Jewish, but his wife was.

No, we didn't use Google. There are 4 major hospitals in Jerusalem. Of those Haddassah Ein Karrem is by far the best.
