Quite frankly in my short amount of research, I didn't see the monkier "market based" attached to Paul Krugman's name. I must have missed it. Consider me corrected, swayed by your complete thesis.
I consider Communism just another form of Dictatorship, not worthy of the PRACTICAL political specrum of the U.S. Just like I would use the term "far right" not meaning National Socialist. But it is important to take every thing to the far extreme, just because it's easy.
Dear Anonymous Coward, I did say "not me". Quite frankly I like Clinton and thought that he got a bad rap. To me, he was a very good; just left of center moderate (like me), but I acknowledge that some people (mostly people on the far right) think otherwise. It amazes me that after what 25 million dollars the most that he could come up with was him having sex, which was a far cry from a land deal gone wrong, which was Starr's initial mandate.
BTW, I consider Communism just another form of Dictatorship, not worthy of the PRACTICAL political specrum of the U.S. Just like I would use the term "far right" not meaning National Socialist. I just guess that it is easy for you to jump in and be sarcastic, rather than really add anything.
To some people (not me) Bill Clinton is very left, which would make your (dare I say) "hero" Atrios extreme left.
Also, I should note that my comments about "left vs right" wasn't about Atrios, but about NY Times' Paul Krugman and his confict with Luskin. I am sorry I didn't make that perfectly clear, but you might have noticed that I didn't refer to Atrios at all.
To me Atrios (really his hosting) is a victim of a baseless lawsuit by someone who doesn't understand that due to his actions has become a public figure and thus has less protection to slander. Besides the fact that Luskin has publicly used the "stalking" phrase to describe his actions, makes his case even worse.
I'd really like to be able to download the information myself. Maybe they could add a MMC slot to the cart (or USB drive, smart card, etc.). I don't think it would be that hard, heck, they could probally do it now at the cash registers. Load that info into a program at home (maybe even a custom program for the chain) and there you got your shopping list. On a simular note, they could have the information tie into a website which you could create a "usual" list, plus a couple of items that were featured on the website.
As I see it the real problem with the carts is the expense to wire (and upkeep) for each cart (besides, those thing get trashed quickly).
Right wing reactionary vs. left wing radical. The only real difference between the two is the the right winger (Donald Luskin) is angry that they called him a "stalker" which believe it or not has become a pretty nasty thing to call someone. So angry that he is willing to sue.
As an writer for the NY Times Paul Krugman obviously knows that he is a public figure who cannot expect the same amount of protection from public attacks as the average citizen, but I don't believe that Donald Luskin understand that "covering" a media representive and his "lies" on your public website and TV makes him every bit the public figure.
No, it's a kidnapping and forceable restraint issue. There are good old-fashioned laws against those actions. For what's it's worth, however, I don't think that it would have been such an issue, if he didn't include a picture of the warehouse (I haven't seen it) and/or if he had a different title.
What I think is a real issue is "Why did someone in Microsoft see it. Was it was a friend (obv not a particularly good friend), a manager checking up on him, corporate security keeping an eye on the mac guy, or some automated system that just watches the web or certian key words (like "Microsoft campus")?
$30 to $50 dollars just to sign up and "a couple of dollars a month". It's could be a license to print money. Can you say "Monopoly", I knew you could.
This kind of card would only be "fair" if the modified free market is allowed to operate. You don't have to buy your server certificates from Verisign (of course the way that they bought other companies, it's hard not to), so why should all the card readers at public spots focus on one company's authenication system
Besides, as states tend to get more and more info on their id cards (aka drivers licences), the "need" for a separate system is becoming a moot point. Already some bars will "swipe" an ID rather than just look at the picture (also getting addresses, age and other data into their database).
Overall, I don't think that it will work, you might be able to get a couple of states to sign on but the cost is too high for the average person and it will be an "elite" privledge which will get lampooned in the public.
It's so easy even my wife can use it. At first she was "what the heck is this". After explaining it to her, she quickly adapted to it.
On my email, I have the client filter all messages that say "This mail is probably spam." to a spam folder and check it every so often. It's cleaned up my inbox so well, I have actually started to look forward to checking my email again. However, it's kinda sad when I have 50 messages in my pop account and only three don't go into the spam folder.
It really is the best benifit of my hosting account. If everyone used this system, spam would choke off in a couple of months.
Moreover, how can UCSF or any other medical institution prevent something like this from happening again?
Who says this kind of thing doesn't happen already, most companies are very hush, hush when it comes to "internal" problems. I am suprised that even this hit the net, it seems like it would be easy to cover-up. "Give me a thousand dollars or these records (source code, internal memo, etc) will be posted publicly". It would be a lot easier to pay then try to recover from the damage. Hell, some countries kidnapping is a cottage industry.
I believe your right. I might have been 14 when we got rid of that car. I am thinking that it was a 1980 model. I know that we had it before the '82 Prelude. I know that my Dad wasn't too happy with the car, I remember going up to New England and having to plug in the car overnight. However we did have another Olds and I think that was the 98 I was thinking about. That car had the biggest trunk, it was great for sneaking in extra people at the drive-in (yea there was still one of those around; it was in bad shape).
As above, power plants are more efficient as they run at a near constant speed. Also they don't sit in traffic at idle. It is the reason why hydrid get such great gas milage. The fossil fuel burning power generator runs only at optimal speed to produce power run the electric engine (which never needs to idle) and if there is any power left over to charge the battery. When the battery is full then the engine runs off the battery
Back in the 80's my Dad had one, a Delta 98 diesel. You don't seem many in America, but I do understand that other countries they are quite common. What I don't understand is why the author considered diesel a "more viable" alternative to an electric car. If anything an electric car is a less viable alternative to a diesel engine (less power, range, time to recharge, etc) as diesel is a "mature" technology not an emerging one.
...hybrids, diesels and hydrogen cars now seem like more viable alternatives to electric cars, whose customers have complained about their golf-cart powerplant noise and limited range.
The difference between a traditional electric car and one of those new-fangled hybrid cars is the power source only. What is really amazing about this car is that a 110lb electric engine produces 200 hp and that easly makes the transtion between electic, hybrid, and hydrogen cars. I am still scatching my head about diesel engines being included.
Looks like the two biggest additions to Outlook 2003 is spam containment and rights management. Adding more easily configurable spam containment is an important feature (maybe the spammers will just give up!), and much needed. The rights management is very hard to judge, I'll have to see it in operation.
I am sure that the experience Microsoft had with it's emails and the Justice Dept. had a lot to do with this feature. I can see where it would be a good idea for some people to restrict certain messages, but I believe that this serious knock to accountability
Behler said the patches he applied were never certified. No third party, other than the Diebold engineers who created the patches, knew what was in the patches. And once machines were patched, they did not undergo re-certification.
More praise for closed source software!
Why were they even allowed near the terminals. Patching 1,387 terminals would take a great deal of time. That is if they weren't left on and plugged into a network (I wonder what it's subnet is...)

Instead of having "My Documents" Windows users will have "My XML-based Database". A nice GUI for making queries and they'll remove the "My Computer" icon (or at least hide it more than XP.
I suspect little other changes, perhaps they'll also make it the "next registry", and that is why it will take so long or may it they are waiting for 5ghz chip so it won't seem so slow.
Repeat after me, the World Wide Web is not the entire Internet. Now many applications will resolve a screwed up domain name and try to make a connection to Verisign's site. Instead of getting a "unknown host" programs will get a "service not found" which is a very different error. Or at least that is how I see it, I am only moderately knowledgable about DNS issues.
Truth is...
I love my country, who knows where you are from. As any good well educated American, I am quite familiar with our shortcomings. MacCarthy sucked and that was known by the end of his short era, we learn from our mistakes. True the prison population is high, but at least we don't have rape rooms.
I cannot give an example of another country in the same sitution as the U.S., even our laws have a tendancy(sp) have a ripple effect throughout the international community. Believe me, it is a heavy burden and sometimes people are not aware of that fact. However most times, I believe, we do pretty good. It would be impossiable for us to be in the position we are today, if we were just the bumbling idiots who need your schooling.
I don't rememeber screaming or belittling other countries. Your reaction to my incomplete post is telling(I pressed submit rather than preview; being at work and otherwise busy...) I was just stating that we have made efforts at freedom, but that doesn't matter. I wouldn't short you for loving your country, but you would me.
For the record I voted for the guy who won the popular vote. While I don't altogether support Bush, even a blind mouse will find cheese once in a while. What I don't like about him is where I believe he would like to take our Suprem Court. It is the wrong topic to go further...
Btw, it is not Anti Patriotic to speak up (at least for me, I don't know about whatever country you live in). Some people may question my politics, but that again is their right. Perhaps you consider adding a Bill of Rights to your constitution, I believe that it would make a fine addition.
funny thing, I was just yesterday rereading the Declaration of Independance, Constitution and the Bill of Rights on the National Archieves (U.S.) website (it is very well done).
Yes we are free, maybe not the "free-est" but certainly we were amongst the first in the modern world.
the first jet planes were flown in the mid 40's the sound barrier was broken in 1947, the SR-71 first flew in 1959. The 747 was a product of the 60's. Not a great deal of time.
However I am taking a "wait and see" attitude about chips which haven't even been produced yet.

BTW, that is called an automated Turning test. I've (and I am sure many others) have see this many places on the internet. I know Yahoo and Hotmail both use it to prevent bot from signing up spam accounts. I have heard of anti-spam ideas which use a central "challenge server" and another which the client sends back a response before it will allow the user to see it. Both have thier individual problems and neither allow for proper use of mailing lists (without whitelists). I believe that to reduce spam many solutions will be needed.
We will fight them on the client, We will fight them on the server, and We will fight them at their access. We must win, We will WIN !!!
