Having been robbed in both Mexico and Jamaica, both of your professional skill sets could be of great use depending upon where you vacation. Trying to get an internet connection to cancel your credit cards should test your network abilities, and your wife could provide you with counseling after dealing with customs.
FWIW, my post-Jamaica tan was far better than post-Yukatan tan...I'd book a trip to Monitigo Bay if I were in your shoes.
I predict that within 100 years, computers will
be twice as powerful, 10,000 times larger, and so expensive that only the five richest kings of Europe will own them.
Our late night installs bring out the best and worst in my colleagues. The best comes from incredible scripts done on the fly...the worst from management, trying to quantify the status.
After midnight, it becomes a steady stream of `hot items` of `major client impact`...from management trying to help out, by providing more management. Fortunately, my brain has tuned management out well before midnight, so things still get done.
I did my undergrad approximately an hour from Yellowstone...the big buzz in 2003 was a 100 foot tall "bulge" under Yellowstone Lake. This was dismissed as a not-issue since it was geothermal activity, not volcanic activity.
While this finding is volcanic in nature, it hardly makes much of a difference as far as the public safety is concerned. As the article points out, the real mystery lies in the region between 10 and 50 miles below the surface...this has yet to be modeled.
BMW initially had to learn about infrastructure of houses and electrical-regulatory agencies in introducing the electric Mini to the U.S., Steinberg said. A key problem was getting approval for the recharging plug, which was originally designed for the European market, according to the executive.
You Europeans and your superior plugs...you may have won this battle, but we will win the war.
We've distilled each browser's strengths, but note you can't get all of these on the same phone -- if you've got a BlackBerry, you're stuck with its browser...
You are most certainly not. I typically have Opera up and running before I configure my email on a new BlackBerry.
Bring a reclining lawn chair to a dark site with an open view of the sky. No trees or buildings should intrude into your view except maybe at the very edges. Depending on the time of the year you may want to bring a sleeping bag for protection against cold, dew, and mosquitoes.
...also, remember to use the bathroom before you get on the short-bus
I'm all for making fun of people who get injured by their own stupidity. I'm talking about the guys who decide to skateboard off of the roof of a 3 storey house, and end up breaking their penises or permanently damaging their scrotums.
But please, show some respect for those who are cursed with a disease or disability that they had no control over.

I imagine it is caught in a development life cycle...or that Microsoft determined that most consumers are content using touchpads or game system controllers to interface from the couch.
Once we find out if asteroid detection, deflection or destruction is trivial and reliable, then we can go on to mentally masturbating about colonizing other bodies.
I presume the NASA memory foam will come into play here. We should be good to go.
When NBC added the “The Jay Leno Show” at 10 each weeknight, it boasted that the show would be “DVR proof,” meaning that because the humor was topical, viewers were more likely to watch it live, avoiding much of the commercial-skipping that was expected to plague recorded shows.
I think the only truly funny thing here is that NBC considers Leno to be humorous. His face looks like a banana...that is sort of funny, I guess.

Try it with a random sample of people and get back to me.

One would assume that a group, consisting of > 12 Nobel laureates, would abandon the Doomsday Clock for something less obscure and meaningless.
I'd like to know how the origional designers chose to measure probability in terms of 'minutes to midnight'. It makes my head hurt.
Too soon?

30+ links? I don't know if his inflated self worth offends me more than his tainted view of the average /.er, or visa versa.

Appeasement never curbed the aggression of axis powers, but a nuke ended WWII in seconds.
Actually, Japan agreed to surrender on 8/14...five days after Fat Man and eight days after Little Boy.
and the tubes...
If you want people to use less electricity charge more for it and use the tax to fund something good like public transit

Optical mouse LED != laser...that was pretty damn funny, regardless
I'm curious if there's audio feedback to tell you if you're correctly framing the page.
I sure hope so...with these figures
The device won't be speedy: "Intel says it takes about 30 seconds to process each page of text
I'd sure be pissed to wait 30 seconds only to hear "Page 3 of 7"
I'm sorry we had to meet under these circumstances, but allow me to introduce myself. I'm Colonel Tribune, the Web ambassador for chicagotribune.com.
Looks like the Tribune Co. is really embracing the interweb...
Meantime, I hope I run into you surfing the Web. You can find me on Twitter and Facebook.
...I wonder if Colonel Tribune prefers Farmville or Mafia Wars?

I find your code of ethics fascinating.

There were many fine works when copyright didn't even exist; hell, if copyright existed, we wouldn't have had Shakespeare's.
We would have had Bacon's.
the better question is why they have a hundred laptops for a crew of 3-6 max.
One Tang spill could render several laptops useless. Perhaps this is a redundancy measure.
