Firewire's not going anywhere. It's the only standard right now that handles consistent streaming of video from a camcorder or other video source, and it's a preferred way for connecting external hard drives.
Apple is making a business decision to remove one cable and sell it seperately. This won't affect their video products or the fact that a firewire port will continue to be included on every Mac.
If you're a church-goer, check with your church to see if they support a relief organizations. I donate to United Methodist Committee On Relief, which sends services and supplies to areas stricken by natural and man-mande disasters. Their web-site, http://www.umcor.org , contains instructions for donating. If you're not comfortable sending money, send supplies. If you can't send supplies, there are plenty of volunteer opportunities, often through local churches putting together flood-buckets, health kits, and child-care supplies.
The Catholic Church and Anglican Church have similar organizations that operate under their auspices.
I put up pictures of scenes that are relaxing to me. Also, I use my own photos for this, so it gives me a chance to show them off (and sell) them to my co-workers.
This bill would, if implemented to full effect, prevent cities from putting up access points in City Hall, public parks, or the public libraries. If you live in Texas, please call your legislator and ensure that, if nothing else, such exceptions are delineated. You can find them by using this form. This could be one of the stupider bills to pass this year.
I'll be putting in a call to Eddie Rodriquez and Gonzalo Barrientos later. Hopefully Gonzalo will be sober for a change.
I thought the point of the high gas tax was to encourage people to drive more efficient cars. So now that it's worked, the government's decided that it worked too well?
This reminds me of the New Jersey cigarette tax. They jacked up the price per pack to such a high point that most of the smokers quit. The result: the state had a budget shortfall because they didn't make as much as they estimated off of the tax increase--and actually took in less than the previous year.
My last employer's payroll contractor suffered a break-in similer to this. It appears to have been an inside job, since whoever did it managed to bypass three locked doors, a security system, and two armed guards on the building's only entrance. It appeared that they were only after the hardware, but it was treated as ID theft because of the nature of the data it contained.
We were advised to put fraud alerts in with the credit reporting agencies, get copies of our reports, and then do it again in three months. No one ever used my ID information, but I'm still getting a credit report regularly just because there might be a copy floating around.
The city of Paris did something similar with the Eiffel tower. Since the image of the tower itself has passed into the public domain, they installed a unique lighting pattern, and then copyrighted the lights. So you can photograph it all you want during the day, but you need their permission to publish photograph's at night.
Also, to those who designed these lights: They're ugly, and you should have left it the way it was.
The problem comes when you run into a corp who's incorporated in Bermuda or some other third-world tax haven. It shields them from more than just taxes.
Why is this a troll? Several educators, not the least of the them a former teacher of the year, share this view. Just because it's a controversial idea does not mean that the poster is trolling.
I switched to an Apple at the beginning of September. The tipping point was when I figured out that the ammount of time I was spending in maintaining my Windows and Linux boxes exceeded the amount of time I was spending doing real work with them. I've got several entries in my Slashdot jouranl about my early experiences with my PowerBook. I had one glitch when I unboxed the thing, and that's it.
The verdict so far: it just works. I have MS Office for the Mac installed, so I have compatibility with the office computers. I put Apple's development suite on the machine, so I'm able to write software. (I'd recommend getting the "Building Cocoa Applications" book off of eBay.) Most of the Linux programs I used have OS X ports, and I don't have to fuss with keeping the system running. I can also count the number of system crashes I've had so far on one hand.
George Will has a column where he takes apart some of the same projections. Also, to add fuel to the debate, Will is a conservative who has a number of disagreements with the current administration. (like me.)

We could probably set up a wireless power system, but you can forget about the "safe" part. You could also give up any hope of ever having children.
...means that people who write for the business press are completely incompetent, too.
I do hope you're not just realizing this.

"They wanted to cut through the near-religious arguments about which system is better from a security standpoint."
Which of course will lead to more religious arguments...

Do you have access to a computer lab on campus? Could you do the work there?

The Condor project looks promising. I've been looking for something similar as an alternative to LSF.
In all of the debates over repairing Hubble, I haven't seen any estimates on what it would take to replace it with a newer telescope.
Would it be worth scrapping if we can build something with more up to date technologies. Maybe go in with the Russians and use a Proton as the LV.
What about docking a new oneat the ISS to help ease maintenance?

It was finally getting good, too.
Or Michael Moore. If Bush were half as bad as Moore said he was, he would have disappeared never to be heard from again.

Opening the laptop is easy. It's putting it back together that's difficult.
Yikes! I'll avoid appying for any jobs in banks.
"This mail application is so easy to use that executives can use it without reading manuals--which is kind of a test we have around here..."
Or "Meet Joe Black".

Hmmm, the 4 is next to the 5 on the keyboard. Could that have anything to do with it?
If this was geekier, don't you think the guys behind it would have a tougher web server?
