Good points. And to just emphasize the underlying security issue, corporate environments are far from being safe havens, too. It's imperative the DB root account has a good password (for sufficient values of good!).
I run several MySQL servers on XP/w2k3server/linux boxes at work. All are closed to non-localhost access.
(biiiiig stretch here) Since scripting is just another form of programming, and programming (or the result of) is an Invention or Creation that falls under most agreements, one could argue that typing commands into a shell is covered. Commands are interpreted, and there is no functional difference between writing a file containing commands (what is typically considered "a program"), and typing those commands in interactively.

This topic comes up freguently on Slashdot, but I've never seen this particular angle mentioned.
In some areas of Austin, it's Grande Communications.
Grande had an agreement with the city for installing fiber throughout Austin (for phone, tv, inet), and to do so Austin stipulated Grande must service the areas first. I.e., the eastern side of Austin.
But for most of Austin, TWC is the cable monopoly.
I have been using the featured software, TopoFusion, for nearly a year to map trail networks. It keys photographs to positions by matching timestamps, a very easy and effective technique.
It's great software if you're into this kinda thing.
There is an unending stream of complaints about the 49 series keys on news://comp.sys.hp48/ Google it for some examples. I've no experience with the 49 series.
I purchased a 48gx two years ago so that I'd have one of the last good ones. Crazily enough, I bought it brand-new at Fry's for $95 and now many are going for $250 on ebay. Never would I have considered a calculator an investment.
A comment on the intro bit... Searching for an easily controlled and powerful phenomenon, like electromagnetic radiation, is a smart tactic at least for starters. As the tech gets more sophisticated in terms of control and detectability (LASERs), the challenge is greater.
But who is this Paul Davies guy, and whose ass did he pull the SETI-in-DNA idea from? SETI has always been on the edge of SciFi-fringedom, but the jump from that to finding encoded messages in DNA leaves no shred of credibility. Here's why:
"The Bible Code". What the Bible Code showed us is that given a sufficiently large text, you can pretty much find anything you want. Your birthday, apocolyptic predictions, SETI-in-DNA ideas, etc. By changing the search algorithm (ignoring punctuation and vowels is the equivalent method used in the Bible Code for searching Hebrew IIRC) you artificially expand the chances of finding a self-confirming data sequence.
Fortunately, I didn't purchase it. My coworker ordered a copy and picked it up yesterday.
Let me temper my previous comments a bit. From a programming standpoint, a *huge* amount of experimentation and coding had to be done to get to this point. I can appreciate that work.
You can save your money. If you've played Doom, you've played Doom 3. I saw and tried D3 this afternoon and the graphics are the usual sci-fi panels, in darkness, now with more detail and shadows. The only positive thing I'll say is the shadows are very well done, but that doesn't make the game.
It's been five years since Q3, and this is it -- YAFPS?
Is this site a joke? And thus I quoteth, but don ye thy tin foil helm:
That's right, new Macs are based on Darwinism! While they currently don't advertise this fact to consumers, it is well known among the computer elite, who are mostly Atheists and Pagans. Furthermore, the Darwin OS is released under an "Open Source" license, which is just another name for Communism.
I own copies of both "Bicycling Science" (2nd ed) and "The Bicycle Wheel".
For learning how to build bike wheels and more importantly, understanding how the forces work in a wheel, Brandt's book is unsurpassed. One will build and fix better wheels based on the knowledge from this book.
Wilson's book, "Bicycling Science", has a smaller audience -- bike designers or others interested in bike mechanics. For them, Wilson's discussion of stability and its determining factors are very useful.
Heh, either that or SCO will claim ownership of the Book of Webmin. You can hear them now:
SCO: There are 10,000 pages copied from our materials FOSS Crowd: But the book is only 400 pages? SCO: Nevermind, there are still 10,000 pages taken. FC: OK, which pages, exactly, and what content? SCO: Look on the title pages and subsequent pages. The words "Copyright" and "Table of Contents" appear exactly as in our materials. Later on appears "Index". Page numbers also have a similar ordering algorithm. FC: Uhhhh SCO: This is uncontestable fact and proof!!!!11!! SCO: Oh, and, All Your Base Are Belong To Us.

Hah!

But can the machine learn
kaput?
But to answer his question, you know it has gone wrong when you have to hire a CON$ultant to figure out how bad it really is.
Shoulda kept those "expensive" in-house developers.

Hmm, fake HTML tags got nuked...
It should read "... must service the (disenfranchised/lowincome/ignored) areas first...".

I don't know whether to thank you for that link or not. My sides are still hurting...

Wheat field wi-fi? Need to shorten that.
We-fe wi-fi.
I was the one. I downloaded a movie from the internet.
It was a harried time, and temptation was great. In a weak moment, I succumbed.
I downloaded Michael Moore's "Farenheit 9/11".

This isn't science -- it's a parlor trick.

Nor could they spell "mater"(sic) on the first page.

Everyone else knows that they never release applications for public beta testing. They only release operating systems as public betas.
My wife and I have a '99 SL2 that rarely gets outside of the range 33-38 mpg. We've been very happy with the car and its mileage given its size.
