Brothels are legal throughout much of Nevada. They make decent money and pay taxes, and mostly keep the girls clean. But there are a lot of people that would rather this not become available to someone randomly wandering through the database.
I listen to people who have spent their entire lives studying and methodically researching something using strict scientific methods and extensive peer review.
How about Columbia University and NASA? Do they count? That study suggests that increasing solar output may be partially to blame for changes.
Or are they saying weird things that you don't listen to?
I almost bought the pro version when 3.1 came out relatively quickly after 3.0, but then the same thing happened that did after 2.0 -- not a word on new things for long stretches of time, with a gap of nine months since the last version release. If I'm going to drop money annually, I expect to get something for it on at least a semi-regular basis. A handful of very minor adjustments to protocols don't count.
I have 20 extensions (excluding the Nightly Tester Tools) installed, and all of them are functioning properly, including Google Toolbar. I have to review the list to make sure that I'm not duplicating anything, but I think I'm in good shape for the moment. The NTT allows me to override the version limits, but extension devs started working on opening that up in the default installations a few weeks ago.
Are there any active VRML sites still around? I found one about two years ago or so that still had a couple of people in it, but it was like finding a random IRC channel with a low population. Nothing actually was happening.
There's work being done on a distributed system to look for laser flashes that might be sent from an intelligent species, in the thought that a much more advanced species may have moved beyond radio waves for much of its communication, and that lasers would be more visible over longer distances, less likely to be lost in background noise.
What part is complicated? If you only want to run SETI@Home, you sign up for that (or transfer your existing account), and let it go. It becomes the only program that goes, much like before. BOINC handles non-client program updates, runs datasets according to due dates and priorities, and collects stats.

As long as the owners were there, they were legally using it. I seem to recall that they had law enforcement there overseeing things as well. The show goes to great pains to make sure that everything is done legally and above-board.
I'm not sure when that show was filmed, but I seem to recall seeing it early enough that it would have been legal for them to buy a.50BMG rifle. However, spending $5000 to $10,000 to use it on the show for only a few rounds would probably have annoyed the show's accountants, who seem to be happy keeping the strings tightly bound.
Roy Moore was not reinstated, but has remained on the media circuit, and has announced his intentions to run for governor in 2006 against incumbent Gov. Bob Riley. Because both are Republicans, they'll be facing off in the summer primary.
Grant is also the designer and operator of one of the more successful contenders on BattleBots, Deadblow. That was the flat, low-center-of-gravity bot with the slope at the front to get under opponents and the pneumatic arm with the spike on the end that pounded opponents to pieces.

They used, IIRC, an AK variant (legal), an AR-15 variant (legal), and a.50cal BMG rifle (legal).
Individual states may not sell them anymore, but I know of one person who owns two AK and one AR variant, and we both lusted over various BMG rifles until the wonderful state of California saw fit to ban them.
I'd like to see a Cyrix CPU on an add-in card for encryption. The RNG it uses was reviewed a few years ago as one of the finest available to the common consumer, and I believe it has maintained its integrity since then.
And even when you're not doing encryption, you might be able to shuffle off some *@Home work to it.

I have a Moxi DVR from Adelphia that's always on. Always. And there is no low-power mode. It's a miniature computer running Linux, so the software capabiities are available, but not used (presuming the hardware has it). It's been admitted by Moxiguy (one of the employees of Digeo, Moxi's creator, that frequents a couple of boards) that this isn't ideal, and that Digeo knows it, but power-saving isn't coming until at least the 4.0 release (sometime after the sun dies), and maybe not even then.
The wear-and-tear isn't significant if you're only powering on and off once a day each on average.
My current Windows installation is more than a year old, and shutting it down (which isn't often) only takes a minute or two at the most. My laptop Linux installation can take longer than the Windows box (though it seems much faster to get out of KDE with 3.4 installed) to power off.
Powering off a Windows system without a proper shutdown is a recipe for disaster, as Windows saves information back to the Registry during the shutdown sequence. If you're really as picky about power as you claim, you may want to see someone about OCD.
You can always add in the Nightly Tester tools that 'fixes' the version numbering problem. I'm finding that a lot of devs are updating their extensions to work with 1.5 (most of which seems to be adjusting the allowed version numbers) in any case.
It wasn't Slashdotted. The effect hit yesterday, almost a full day before the post was made here. This is what happens when thousands of people go to download ISOs from a handful of servers at the same time. Speeds dropped from more than 700KB/sec for the first few to jump in to under 60KB/sec for those who started late within about six hours.
This applies mostly to the people that come in and have to inform me of their new cat, girlfriend, boyfriend, computer, game, TV, kitchen, car, shoes, and/or midlife crisis (and that's just the top of the list).
A request on the part of the devs under your control: Don't implement a new paradigm every time one comes out. From extreme programming to agile programming, from scrums to design workshops, find something that works in your particular case and stick to it. Your employees will thank you for it (at least in the long run by not planning your demise in the parking lot after the fifth methodology change that quarter).
It hasn't been shot down. It's been delayed (intentionally) by administrative processes. At this point, we don't know if it's going to get killed or not. I rather hope not, but it's tough to say right now.
As for defending ICANN, I think most people are willing to live with the devil they know than the devil they don't. ICANN's level of ineptitude is a known quantity, whereas the introduction of a different group from a wider range of countries and political agendas may introduce all kinds of new horrors.
