It's a classic argument. Is it better to have a single device that does everthing where all features work together under a single uniform interface, or many devices that are all designed to perform a single task and do it well. The problem with the all in one approach is that it's nearly impossible to everything well. What happens when you want the new features of a competing PVR product? Maybe dual sattelite recivers, or HD capability. On the other hand, what if you want to automatically have your tv volume mute and your stereo turn into a quadriphonic speaker phone when you recieve a call. That's harder to do with seperate devices that don't know about each other. What we really need is a standardized control/communication interface so all the seperate devices can communicate and work together, yet any one piece can be replaced or upgraded with a competitors product at any time.
Yes obviously the guns are to blame, not the violent video games! It's all the inanimate objects fault. Or maybe these teenage boys who are old enough to make their own decisions are deviant homicidal miscriants that need to be locked up until they're 35. (and given an exceptional prison education in the mean time)
Surely this is an extreme example of how the DMCA violates the first amendment and is thus, unconstitutional. If I say "Hold down the shift key to copy that cd", I've just committed a felony under the DMCA. We now have the perfect case to illustrate how ludicrous this is. This is great news! Can you think of a better vehicle to get the DMCA declared uncostitutional?
When will the feds learn that raising penalties isn't going to deter this type of crime? I'd guess right after the learn that people are going to use illicit drugs no matter how many of our tax dollars they spend trying to stop it.
What are you talking about? Spam filtering is the investment fad of the week right now. I work for a spam filtering company. We have investors beating down our door. It's like 1999 all over again, except we don't even need the money. Bootstrap sales baby, it's the only way to go. VC's are blood sucking vultures.
To receive fewer unsolicited telemarketing calls, you can register for The DMA's Telephone Preference Service (TPS), which allows you to "opt out" of national telemarketing lists.... There is a $5 processing fee for registering with the TPS service online. You will need a valid credit card to register online. We use secure payment transaction processing to protect your card information. This is the fastest way to begin to see the impact of fewer unsolicited telemarketing calls as a result of the TPS program.
Pay $5 to be left alone... aren't there laws against that sort of thing? Extortion?

I guess the main problem I have is that the species we know of are all so vastly different from one another, that there is little evidence of common ancestery. The differences between say, models of cars, something we create, look a lot closer to a chain of random mutation adaptions than the various fosils we find. Extrodinary theories require extrodinary proof. Evolution is a quaint hypothesis, but after a century of research by scientist trying desperately to find evidence to support the theory, I've yet to see a single pair of fossils that are close enough to one another to be a single mutation apart, but are not within normal variation of a single species. It's either normal variation within a species, or something totaly unique. We should see all kinds of creatures and evidence of past creatures that are similar, with relatively smooth transitions from one form to another. The just isn't any evidence of that.
Only 6%?!? That's pretty damn good given the circumstances. They must be doing something right, despite what the rest of slashdot thinks. Kudos to them. I guess letting business graduates run the show instead of arts majors actually works. Maybe other industries should be taking notes.
The biggest problem I see with the whole evolution thing is that the more we dig, the more find weirder and weirder species that seem to have nothing to do with what's around today. Doesn't the evolution theory predict that we should be finding a lot of intermediate forms of present day species? Is there even a single species where we can find a complete chain of intermediate forms between it and a previous species that it evolved from?
Forever Bright is really the only way to go. They have a patent on the system they use that doesn't require a transformer and can be strung end to end. Here's the response I got from sales@foreverbright.com
All of the retailers listed on our Website carry our product line, but they did not stock all locations. This left retail availability very poor in some areas and many consumers frustrated.
We're trying hard to convince them to stock all locations as consumer demand for our products is very high. It often helps when consumers tell retail store managers they're looking for a particular product or brand. The managers report the requests to corporate offices for future inventory considerations.
Raley's Drugs stocked the Forever Bright line in all of their locations and we believe they may have stores in your area. American home hardware may also be worth a try. Sorry, we can't sell direct.
I thought the best superconductors would work at close the temperature of salty ice water, say -15C or 258K. 18K is like -255C. That's pretty damn cold.
They haven't used mercury and other metals for capping teeth for like, 15 years. Now we use this cool polymer stuff that cures when exposed to light. It looks a feels mostly like enamel.

to leave my cellphone at a friends house for a few hours.

In BSD, using the arrow keys with scroll lock on is the equivilant of shift+PgUp,PgDn in Linux.
Our own milky way is about 100,000 light years across, so
that 3,000 light year number is at least a few orders of
magnitude off. WTF?

Actually the budget is being increased by 6.6%

as opposed to the planned 13%. In newspeak
this translates to budget cuts.
