Good point. And speaking of universities, consider how galling it must be for those educated elite not to have two pennies to rub together. The pathologies that grow out of that frustration must be considerable. Jealousy and envy are not pretty character traits. Reread the original parent post for a good example.
1 acre equals 43,560 square feet. Midtown rents are going for $50 psf and up, so that rules out midtown. You would have to house this facility outside the main rental core and even then, you would be paying a minimum of $15 to $20 psf. I'm not sure paying $600,000 to $800,000 per year per acre makes sense.
If you have ever seen a house from the 1700's, you must have remarked at how small the doorways and rooms were. Have you ever seen old suits of armour? They look like they were made for people under 5 feet. Hobbits, I tell you. We're all descendants from Hobbits.
Shaun...that was a great post. Thanks for taking the time to write it. I live in New York and so I have the opportunity to meet and react with lots of people from India. Over the past 30 years my impression of them as decent, honest, intelligent, hard working, family oriented people has only grown. Your thoughtful post has only confirmed this. Thanks again.
You can buy Sun options for 5 cents a share. In other words, for $1000, you can have the option to buy 20,000 shares of Sun stock. The options expire on January, 2008. So if all the Sys Ad guys got together after they all purchased the options and decided to switch over to Sun, they would all become millionaires. We can do this.
Newspapers get it wrong for two reasons. The first is that they politicize science news to fit their own ideological view (eg.: global warming). The second reason is that they have been taught that there is no objective truth and that everything is relative or else a mere construct supported by the dominant power structure.
There are a lot of very confused people with degrees walking around out here.
Here's my 2 cents on Xbox Live. I'm 60 years old. I never played those darn-fangled video games that my kids wasted their youth on. Never was able to get my fingers to move fast enough or remember which button did what. Anyway, bout 6 months ago, I was visiting my son and his wife and noticed him playing Ghost Recon and talking to people on a headset. I watched, fascinated, and asked him later if he could hook me up with a Xbox Live gizmo in my home. Anyway, to make a long story short, I now spend three hours a day playing Ghost Recon...I'm hooked. I love it.
On a plane a fews days ago, I found myself talking to a 12 year old sitting across the aisle from me about Xbox Live. Later, at the baggage claim, as he was leaving with his parents, he gave me the thumbs up. Made my day.
Look, I don't give a shit about most of the issues you're talking about here...PS2, royalty streams, Microsoft the Monster, etc. etc. All I know is that I have a cool new pastime that totally engrosses me for a few hours an evening. And if I have to pay for this entertainment...big fuckin' deal.
So where did the asteroids come from? Where did all the stuff in space come from? I mean, if you really think about it, shouldn't there be nothing? Well, less than nothing, actually. Not nothing that no one sees, but nothing nothing. Not emptiness...but nothing. Not empty space...but nothing.
So, whatever happened to the ozone hole scare? Could it be that once it stopped expanding and started to naturally reconstitute itself, it lost its political scare value? Just because we have satellites and we're able to see something we haven't seen before, doesn't mean that what we're seeing isn't a natural LONG TERM phenomenom.
BTW, that guy who fell out of the tree hit Earth First.
With a tooth-implanted tranceiver/receiver you could communicate with like equipped people around you. Hearing through the bones in your head and speaking through your voicebox, these communications would be virtually silent.... almost like telepathy.

LOL
They don't call it a schmuck for nothing.
With all due respect, I don't see how I can be more specific. And, specifically, what do you mean by "In what respect?"
So tell us which countries have not followed Cuba's example?
You're asking us to prove a negative.

Yes, that's my point exactly. Let me rephrase your reply as follows:
"Actually, if you're smart the odds are you had smart parents. And if you're dumb, you had dumb parents".
But if you're rich, odds are you're not dumb. And if you're poor, odds are you're stupid.

I have a slingbox. I am able to watch my living room tv on my laptop as long as I am in range of a Verizon ev-do signal.

Wait. Isn't New Hampshire a city?
"...when people like Slobodan Milosevic decide to kill all the Muslims in their country..."
This isn't the first time this has happened. King Ferdinand booted all the Muslims out of Spain in 1492.
Do you think there might be something about the tenents of their religion that is the cause of this?
I was at Best Buy the other day and the salesman told me the Tivo rep said the option won't be released until the summer.
"Home Media Option" is still in the "Coming Soon" phase.

Just my 2 cents. (Gamer tag..."Wizened One")

My head hurts.
From the NASA Sept 2002 press release:
NASA/NOAA Ozone Hole Press Release 02-185
30 September 2002
"Unusually small antarctic ozone hole this year attributed to exceptionally strong stratospheric
weather systems."
Personally, I attribute it to the fact the Al Gore has stopped making speeches.
So, whatever happened to the ozone hole scare? Could it be that once it stopped expanding and started to naturally reconstitute itself, it lost its political scare value? Just because we have satellites and we're able to see something we haven't seen before, doesn't mean that what we're seeing isn't a natural LONG TERM phenomenom.
