I'm also in an apartment complex in southern NJ. The electircal was installed in 1972. I'm fairly certain because there is a date stamp on there.
It sucks. Luckily, I've brought 2 UPS'es down here with me, and now I've switched my linux server over to a Shuttle Zen (Max 85 watt draw, usual: 40). That thing might last a while on there, though I'll have to check the battery sometime. We had a number of outages already (and I've only been here 4 months!)
What Einstein Told His Cook (Both volumes), by Robert Wolke. For those geeks who have strayed into the kitchen [like the ones who follow Him, errr... Alton Brown], the book provides insightful tidbits into debunking common kitchen fallacies, and answering some of the "whys?" of kitchen science.
An analogy for the GPL would be the farmer who receives the gift of a GPL cow from a neighbour.
The farmer is thoroughly welcome to not accept the cow into its herd.
The cow is completely free, but all of the milk from the cow must be given away for free,
Since the milk is content created by a process of running the GPL cow, it's not a derivitave work of the GPL cow, it's a completley separate creation. Otherwise, it'd be like Microsoft claiming copyright over the content of a file created by Microsoft Word.
and all of the cow's calves, and the calves' calves, yea, even unto the thousandth generation, shall be given away for free.
You're more than welcome to sell the cow. It's just that if you do sell the cow, you have to give the receiver the DNA of the cow... you can't prevent the receiver of the cow from "breeding" the cow. [In fact, companies supplying genetically engineered animals typically make it a violation of the contract to breed the animal or plant without paying for a license.]
Now what kind of use is such a cow? Even if the bulls are non-GPL bulls, all of their offspring by GPL cows are controlled by the GPL licence.
It's generally not a good idea to cross breed a non-GPL cow and a GPL cow. It's a derivitave work of the GPL cow. You're more than welcome to not breed the GPL cow.
If you have a cow breeding programme and you develop a really excellent breed of cow, you must give the new breed of cows away for free if just one of the many ancestors of the superior cow was a GPL cow. The GPL cow is even more dangerous than patented GM crop seeds.
At least if I get one of these superior GPL cows, I can legally breed it, and there's nothing you can legally do to stop me.
The world envisioned by the GPL seems to be a perfect communism where all developers are like subsistence farmers; they must give away everything excess to their own immediate requirements for free to the community.
I'm still more than welcome to sell the software. I just odn't have the right to prevent you from turning around and giving it away.
Are you going to explain the asterisk in your statement It's a matter of trusting the FSF (which I don't (*)), or are you going to be like a certain credit card company that I've dealt with... (changing terms from "90 Days Same As Cash" to "90 Days Same As Cash*")
release candidate 1". But sometimes there are bugs, so you fix them, and put out "release candidate 2", and let all the monkeys hammer on it some more, and sure enough they break some things so you fix them and try again with 'release candidate 4'
How long is it going to be before these companies realize that attacking their customers and treating them like criminals really is NOT a good way to do business?

I've looked through their web services API specification and there's no automated bidding possible.
FAQ We currently don't allow bidding through the general API. Although it is possible to look into that on a case by case approach. If you are interested contact [cut address] with some background information on your company and what you want to build.
But why force hardware developers to open their driver code?
Those who fail to study history are doomed to repeat it.
Google for "Richard Stallman" "Printer driver" and read about the history of a buggy printer driver how the GPL came into being.
Which would result in more choices for consumers and (depending on the hardware developer) more stable drivers.
More choices? How? More stable drivers? Just like Win 95 and Win 98, you'd be handing control of your kernel over to software that you cannot have the code for. If there's a bug? You can't fix it. You're at the mercy of the company. What if that API does happen to change in the future? You're locked in to that one version of the driver. If it's GPL'ed, you at least have the opportunity to do something about it.

Wouldn't that hurt the principals?
IIRC, you already pay extra for HBO. The "premuim" cost of the On-Demand service is already taken into account.
But, hey, you can pay for The Sopranos too if you'd like...
Canada has also developed a sonic weapon. However, it's only been tested on relatively friendly crowds, who have often paid for the experience.
%s is the only parameter. It accepts a string, and that's it.
Set up a quick search for google then.
Create a new bookmark, enter:
http://www.google.com/search?q=%25s
for the location, and a short keyword... like "gg"
Then when you go into the address bar, just type "gg search terms"
