As an AZ resident I must say I feel sorry for you, but it is really not much better dealing with all the wackos with DST from here. Sometimes were on CA time sometimes were on NV time. I'd be happy if we could just all be on GMT. Sure would be nice to call a meeting at 17:00 on a specific date and know that everyone around the world will know when that is.
So to simplify tings cities could go off DST and farmers could go on DST at least during the winter time to help crops grow. If you live in the suburb and have a garden or lawn you would have the option to change to DST or not otherwise you stay off the DST time.
I don't know where this insane cost comes from. My house is half what a condo down town that isn't even comparable in size costs. Plus I have the benefit of a real neighborhood and a back yard.
yea I have really started getting bored of the fact that My combat in WOW goes, see mob, cast most powerful spells available until mob dies, look for next mob.
I think there are two things that could make this more interesting.
Non-interactively - code the graphics so that each time you through a fireball it does something different. Have it so different mobs react differently when hit. Although the exact outcome may be the same it would make fights more interesting.
interactively - Perhaps have different combinations that work for different mobs. Maybe have mobs grow in resistance to you as you kill them so you have to slowly alter your strategy.
We can hope. but what is really different now compared to when we said the same exact thing s/Vista/XP/? of which time people said just like I am now what is different now between s/2000/XP? or s/NT/2000/ or/ME/98SE/ or/98/95/.
I'm doing my part with 2 personal Linux boxes 1,500+ professional Linux boxes and a Mac Book Pro. I have only seen Vista in a store and haven't actually used it yet.
manpower and project preference. It takes manpower to run it though a cross compiler. If the project doesn't want to bother with it then it wont happen.
From what it looks like and if the laws are at least similar, the civil side of copyright is still in full enforcement. This is just criminalizing for profit pirate centers.
Except that this is more akin to a physician pushing unneeded surgery because they get more money for it. It happens all the time and should stop as well.

They are well within their rights to charge for the code what ever it costs.
I don't dissagree with you, but here is the relevent section of the GPL and they seem to be well within their rights:

saying that money is coming out of the cars is kinda like saying that $2000 of that is also going to the current workers that build the car. and another $2000 is going to purchase and maintain teh robots that do the brunt of hte work and another $2000 is going to rent and heating/cooling. My god I $10,000 car is only really $2000 worth of engineering. If the GM employees worked for the company for 20 years, making there wage with the promise of a continuing wage ongoing when they retire that is all part of employee pay. It's not some crappy extra burden placed on them. It may be bad business for them to promise to much compensation, but that happens.

luckily not everyone is going to change over the weekend.
The power companies will have well over the next 20-30 years to retrofit and adjust to the change in load behavior.
Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these.
wow, imagine a Beowulf cluster of these?
Yea I've been telling my friend that for years.
"When Vista comes out of beta it will have the same features as my Linux/Xorg box has for the last several years."
awesome, thanks I just started the 21 day trial. Let's see if it is worth it. I must say the terminal may almost be worth it.

And perhaps they could withdraw from their daylight savings account on cloudy days in order to get better yields.

I don't think my PC can load paper into my printer?!? WTF
this changes nothing for the RIAA and only makes it so that people that trade for cash get a civil and a criminal case against them.

But what if we teach them ninja skills? They could hang out with the turtles.
How do you know the previous poster wasn't a sheep you insensitive clod.
"My god!! What are you doing to that sheep!?!"
"It's ok it's more than 15% human."
"Sweet, can I have a try then next?"
You forgot to include the European snobbery.
