Without Steve, a lot of us wouldn't have the jobs we do have (or don't have?) right aboot now - nor would we be using some of the taken-for-granted-now-but-revolutionary-at-the-tim e gadgets that we rely on every day.
Get well soon, Steve. If the comments to this post are any gauge, you have the support of the nerd community across the globe.
I think Groucho Marx said it best when referring to exclusive, anti-semitic "clubs" in the US:
"I wouldn't want to belong to any club that would accept me as a member."
~ Groucho Marx
It was a reference to the exclusivity of the club being in direct correlation to the perceived value of being a member. The less exclusive it is, the less "elite" the members feel, and the less effort a person will go to in order to become a member.
I do a little work with environmental data, and in my travels I found this site. It has a huge amount of GIS data collected from various sources for the purposes of mapping various parameters, such as political boundaries, vertical relief, drainage networks, rail/road/piping networks, etc. The only downside is that the data is aging, and the free stuff only goes down to 1:1000000, but its a neat repository if you need a rough map drawn.
Miramax own a partial stake in the success of the film at the box office. If a decision were to be made for the film to be released onto the interweb as gratas, it would have to include the approval of the Weinsteins.
Of course, Moore could always just do it himself without approval - meaning he'd be liable for every cent Miramax put up to pay for the filming of it.
Rather than download it to find out, I'll just be lazy and ask whether this is just the installer, or whether the whole game has been ported to run on OSEX.II
If its just the installer, I'll still have to load up Classic to play it.
The number of cells broken down would depend entirely on the dosage. If the FDA (Note: I'm not an American) were indeed to approve it, doctors would need to limit a person's intake so as to ensure the liver and associated organs can handle the increased load. Having the treatment span out over the course of 3-6 months might not be as much a problem than taking one hit in a month.
What I'd be more inclined to look at is the political stance on a drug such as this - if (i.e. when) obesity turns into a major political issue, wouldn't the FDA be under pressure to fast-track the approval process?
I've only had my iBook a few months, but in that time I've rebooted/shut it down... three times? four? Usually only when an Apple software update requires me to.
Its just so much easier unplugging everything and closing the screen than it is waiting for the machine to boot down, and of course the same goes for booting up.
I wouldn't do without it now.
(Last "reboot" was two weeks ago, after an apple update)
Sure this might reduce fat cells and overall body weight, but does it do anything to control cholesterol levels, blood pressure, etc?
Giving this to patients by itself wouldn't do much to discourage healthy eating. You'd have to combine it with treatment for cholesterol (and other obesity symptoms). Of course, then people could get a dependancy on it, meaning healthy eating and exercise become pointless to them.
Just some food for thought (h0h0h0, its puntastic)
I wonder how many more "wooden" puns we can fit into this post:
- "This thing wooden work" - "All they need now are wood chips" - "What are all these woodmice doing infesting my computer?" - "Does it use Pine for mail?"
My parents own a consulting company that my father runs, doing various IT and environmental work. My brother and I work as employees for the company, on our own seperate contracts. It is not a rare occurance that we work on the same contracts.
The key is communication and role seperation. Make sure if somebody's got a problem, its out in the open and fixed as quick as possible. Role seperation in this case is threefold - Boss, workmate, and father. When we're working together, its workmate. When we're being paid (or sorting out the books), boss. When we're outside the workplace, dad.
As far as work ethics are concerned, the individual side isn't really a problem. When you're working as a team however, it might pay to discover whether you really work well together before you jump into it.
I've found that over the last 5 years, the continuous preference of the keyboard over handwriting has degraded my once legible (and, if i say so myself, rather beautiful) signature into a horrible, scribbling mess.
This is actually a very serious problem, as anything I've signed for 3 or more years ago I couldn't sign for now and compare the two.
You might recall the episode of Futurama where Bender gets sent a recall notice relating to his butt, saying that any collision might cause it to explode.
Almost a direct parody of the Ford Pinto problem with explosion from rear end collisions.

Holy Jesus!
Oh wait, -geek- girls.
Contrast or focus?
Maybe a bit of both?
man, rpm is a nightmare.
Hooray puns!

Don't forget, next year when OSEX X.IV comes out, it will come with Safari 2.0, which includes an RSS reader.
Otherwise, there are plenty of projects on Sauceforge and Virgintracker. Go try some of them out.

Er... encourage healthy eating, even.
Heh. How to contradict oneself in one's own post.

Everybody's just gob... er, fingersmacked.
I can safely say that it is supposed to be $35.00 instead of $3500.
A mere typo. AUD$35/month for 1gb sounds about right according to telstra's new rates.

The possibilities are endless.
It wooden work.
Oh the irony.

Has this affected your signature as well?
