Yes, but not very many of them. In most cases a single backhoe operator can dig ditches faster, better and cheaper than a team of ditch diggers. Operating a backhoe isn't exactly brain surgery but it is a learned skill and basic reading and math skills are generally a prerequsite.
If only TiVo had better patent enforcement earlier perhaps DirecTV/Dish wouldn't have gone off and made sucky TiVo knock-offs... When my Direc-TiVo finallygave up the ghost a few years ago I was so dissappointed in the DirecTV DVR replacement that I spent the next few days trying everything I could think of to revive it. On the other hand I fault TiVo management with failing to see that the writing was on the wall spelling out doom for their business model. Had they had instead collected a very small royalty for licensing the TiVo name and 'look and feel' they probably would be rolling in dough now and millions of DVR owners like myself wouldn't be struggling with UI monstrosities like the DirecTV DVR.
Here i was thinking that this article would be about comcast, but then i remembered that comcast is just the regular kind of fraud. Over-promising and under-delivering...
That's not fraud, that's sales. Otherwise every salesperson in the world would be guilty of fraud. Always assume that if someone is selling you something they are exaggerating the capabilities of their product/service.
Perhaps Anakin told the librarian bot at the Tatooine Public Library 'I want every language translation (book/tape/disk/whatever) you have' and imported them all into C3P0's memory. By the time the copyright cops caught up with him he had become Darth Vader so they let him go as a matter of professional courtesy (sort of how sharks don't bite lawyers)
Funny, the last time the government paid a lot of money to the telcoms in order to make broadband more readily available there wern't too many conditions, not even that they had to make broadband more readily available.
$18M for a Sharepoint site of that scope? They're getting a bargain! It'll cost that much in annual support costs alone helping users locate pages that seem to have spontaneously moved on their own.
Or get a video card with an HDMI output. You can probably get one in the $100 range pretty easily. (or possibly less, I haven't priced video cards in a while)

I think a similar system could work very well for other groups such as AA and NA.
Great idea! Now if I can only talk Charlie's Bar into providing free Wi-Fi...
So they can sell you a $2.95 HDMI cable for $59.95.
The world needs ditch diggers.

Just incorporate the word 'boobies' into the title of all articles.
It's like having your cylinder head smashed in by a slice of lemon wrapped around a large gold brick.

Finally, ONE DAY, there will be a killer app for the general public using the power of the GPU. Then I hope everybody will understand.
It was supposed to be called Vista, too bad things didn't work out for that...

Nonsense, How can a computer have an extramarital affair.
Marklar if you are a South Park fan, Zathras if you are a Babylon 5 fan. Too bad neither of these scale too well.

I would have figured that a exhibit on Pirates (the old-fashioned kind) would be held in Pittsburgh.
Television watches YOU.
I've always hated these post but it seems appropriate here.

Is nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
By any chance has anyone set up a live disk with just tcpdump?
