Moncton has 140,000 people, greater Fredericton has 82,000, Halifax has 380,000.
The biggest WalMart out there is in Lower Sackville IIRC, not exactly population central, but it's just down the road from Halifax and Dartmouth, and I'm sure there's a bunch of stuff the other way. Besides which, it has to compete with a monster Canadian Tire. Might also be the biggest one out that way.
Real standards are created by one or more guys. They get together in a back room, and think up shit. Then they type it down, and send it to Jon Postel for comments.
Jon posts it, then other guys (like me) look at 'em, and say, "Hey, cool, let's run with that.". So, I guess the second part is close to your description.
So, you see, Jon -- RTFA and look at the void you've left. RIP.

"In Soviet Russia, SOAP cleans your computer!"
No wait.
"I for one welcome our freshly-washed overlords!"
Crap, that doesn't really work, either.
"Let's pour hot SOAP down Natalie Portman's pants!"
Hmm. I wouldn't mind doing that, but it's not particularly funny.
"Netcraft confirms it, SOAP can eliminate viruses!"

.....ah, SCREW it. I have better things to with my time than to write comedy. Stephen King died today, and there are 300 victims of a Sri-Lankan Tsunami to worry about!
You can buy nano screens online from china (ebay IIRC?) for like fifty bucks.

Several problems...
1. Actually difficult to use, you really have to "think" about the melody. Very frustrating. 2. When you're using this system, you really need to know how the melody goes, bang-on, from the start. But people don't remember tunes that way unless they already know them really well. It's not uncommon for human singers to slip an octave -- or even a smaller interval -- when singing a somewhat unfamiliar piece. 3. When you don't know a song, it's usually the chorus or the "hook" that you have stuck in your head. Not the first line! (Like a few weeks ago, I was looking up "Black Magic Woman", and the part that was stuck in my head was the "and she's trying to make a devil out of me")... followed by the hook. If you know the song, try working out the FUDUSUSUSUSUS index for "I got a black magic woman; I got a black magic woman". Not easy! 4. More useful: Hook and chorus as well as first lines index. BUT! Filtered by the first note-pair interval and direction. For example, "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean"'s first line would read:
M6U DDUDDSD
(I think)
M6U represents an upward major 6th interval (i.e. C to A). All musicians will be able to calculate the interval with ease (or at least they should be if they are competent). Including more intervals than just the first one would be interesting, but potentially more difficult to use. Including just the first interval makes it easy to sort out, and will *dramatically* divide the field. I'd guess into at least 6 or 8 major divisions.
The chorus, then, would be
M3U DUDSSD
A computerized lookup with fuzzy logic would also be interesting, for the reasons I've suggested above. Unfortunately, not so useful for a fake book.
I also just realized a short coming of this notation, for which I have no suggested solution.... Musicians tend to think of same notes all being the same. So, the instinct is to look up the chorus as "M3U DUSSSD", since there are three "same" notes in there. But the notication in the Hal Leonard book would want FUDUDSSD as the fifth note is lower than the fourth.
Another type of index which would be really cool is a "chord progression" index. Usually, when I can't remember the name of a song, I can't remember any of the melody... I mentally tie the song title to the melody where the title is spoken in 90% of songs I know (I play a of standards). A chord progression index would also be interesting, if it charted just the 3-note progressions... But it would also have a huge number of... what's the right word? Hash Collisions?...But, last night, I worked the hook for a song and the chorus chord progression.. and I still haven't figured out what the hell it's called, all I know is that it comes on my wife's smaltzy radio station every now and then. So I have to wait until she hears it again, so that I can get the title and look it up...
Hey, I just though of another great way to do these lookups (computer aided, again). You've seen that tapping index on the net? (Which, BTW, I've *never* found a song with..)... Anyhow, tie that the computer keyboard instead of just the space bar, and as pianists to "play" the part they know. We will naturally use keys to the right to represent upward intervals, and keys to the left to represent lower intervals. This is actually easier than trying to figure out by ear which direction the notes are, our fingers just "know". You could then take this, tie it with the rhythm played, add some fuzzy logic, and probably get a really good hit.
Examples:
My bonnie lies over the ocean becomes "j;lklkjhg". Actually letters aren't important, just approximate intervals and directions. That was data-entered with no thought whatsoever.
Jesus, you're both way over-analysing this. Let's go back to basics.
Raise the clock speed without altering the chip: more work is done per unit time.
Therefore energy requirements per unit time increase (by definition). Therefore power requirement increases (by definition).
This extra capacitance crap, etc., explains non-linear increases. But the OP wasn't asking about rate of increase, he was asking about increase, period, which can be answered with grade 9 physics.
My Grade 12 computer science teacher was an honest-to-God Real Programmer with years of industry experience.
I never to this day figured out why he went into teaching, but this was a man could actually debug pointer problems in C. Actually, I'm lucky I had him, I doubt many other highschool CS teachers would even think about teaching C, and guess what I do for a living now?
Contrast to my previous grades CS teacher, who accused me of cheating in the speed contest to see who could write the fastest prime-number detector. (I "cheated" by only comparing 0..sqrt(n) instead of exhaustively searching 0..n. What an ass)
An ISP and an internet cafe is all a third-world country needs to feed itself.

Did you really mean BETWEEN slashdotters, or *amongst* slashdotters?
Definately a different connotation.
One of my Hal Leonard Fake Books (paper book with lots of music) has an index just like this... except I don't think the F was used.
As a musician, I found the thing completely worthless.
But, maybe somebody didn't.
Is that why my Seagate 15K RPM disks (ST318451FC) are failing at what I consider to be an astronomical rate?
MTBF has been observed to be around... Let's see.. 20 disks in three years out of 50 disks.. Umm. Anybody got a calculator?
This is not straight piggybacking -- it is a fresh, new, derivative work with a clearly superior punch line.
Actually, that's pretty likely to happen, given that they change hardware throughout the race.
Pit times will be dramatically increased; change one tire, re-validate, change another, re-validate, duck tape the hood, revalidate...

You should've still been able to see the cyan lettering and the cursor... unless, of course, you had previously entered "POKE 641,0"

I had the same experience under Solaris.
I suspect that if it's stable anywhere, it's under Linux.
There's plenty of hardware out there that doesn't come gig-e equipped. Hell, I still deploy RS232 terminal concentrators at 10 megs now and then.
How do you watch flash animations, then?
You think that has anything to do with being overseen by the CRTC instead of the FTC?
Just leave it running until the system runs out of memory.
Seriously, if I forget to reboot my box every night, by mid-afternoon the next day, my browser is sucking back nearly a gig of RAM.
This is with almost no extensions (AdBlock +, Compact Menu) and very little (if any) flash usage.
I mostly look at PNGs (not those kinds) and read GMail.
Drives me friggin' nuts.
