They need to skip the national elections and work from local elections up. A top down approach doesn't work (a la trickle down). They need some more state representatives, govenorships and congresscritters first. President is a stretch.
Running a presidential candidate gives visibility to the party, helping all those local and state candidates win their races. More libertarians hold public office than all other 3rd parties combined. No one honestly expects Badnarik to win the presidential election, but the fact that the LP is running candidates on all levels helps the lower levels succeed.
Somthing similar to this where guys would buy virtual presents for real women, sometimes spending upwards of $30-$200. Anyone care to shed light on what that one was, and whether it is still in business?
My gf once threw her cordless mouse at the wall when she died in a videogame. Seriously, it damaged the wall.
What is it with women and gaming tempers? My wife threw a playstation controller at our brand new TV when she couldn't figure out how to control her Tekken fighter. Fortunately, she throws about as well as she plays videogames.
If there is anything worth seeing on the website, then users will find a way to see it, even if that means downloading a new program. This is the paradigm that has worked for Real, Macromedia, and the thousands of companies that use their products.
Web developers complain about having to code around IE's bugs, yet by continuing to do so they perpetuate the problem.
Can you imagine if Mozilla introduced a new "feature" that was of benefit to the porn industry, and all of a sudden porn sites couldn't be viewed by IE? There would be a new "de facto standard browser" overnight.
Tell the client that if there is any worthwhile content on his site, his audience will find it. If the audience isn't willing to upgrade a broken, worthless browser to see his content, then the content itslef is worthless.
But even "standard" code can render differently in different browsers on different platforms.
That is by design, and it is a feature of standard-compliant design. You can code a web page once, and it will render for normal people, blind people, people with 640x480 displays, and everybody else.

VoIP Questioned
·
· Score: 1
You really don't understand VoIP, do you? The acronym stands for Voice Over Internet Protocol. There are other networks besides the internet that use IP.
VoIP is mature and deployed, and businesses are already saving money with it. Consumer voice-over-internet services and VoIP are not the same thing, in much the same way that sheep and mammals are not the same thing.
The SBLive and other consumer cards don't have good A/D converters. You can spend thousands on a good one. However, the Delta line of interfaces from m-audio have a good reputation for low-end DAWs.
If you've already got a capable computer system, look at a Delta 44 and Cakewalk Home Studio 2004 (or Sonar 3, if you have the money). It would be much cheaper than a comparable analog system. Be careful, though - home studios are a big money pit.:)
Sure the SB Live it's not über-pro, but isn't that bad either. In fact I'd say it's the best entry-level card around
The Live is significantly noisier than the TB Santa Cruz, if you want to compare consumer cards. The "best entry-level card around" (for home recording) is probably the Audiophile 2496.
The Live pretty much sucks for anything other than gaming.
Do yourself a culinary favor; purchase whole beans, a grinder, and a good drip coffee maker (or a French Press type for those in a hurry). You'll be glad you did.
I roast once or twice a week, and will never go back to buying pre-roasted coffees. There is a quality of freshness to the cup that I have only tasted in coffee I ordered directly from this roaster, who ships it the day he roasts it.
Lately I have been experimenting with creating my own espresso blends. There are few things more satisfying than this.
A truer definition of the word, "atheist", could then be, "Could care less if there is or is not a God -- so, quit arguing incessantly about it and pass the gravy!".
I think the actual definition is someone who believes there is no god. Compare to theist, monotheist, polytheist, pantheist, etc. Someone who does not know if there is a god or not is an agnostic - he professes no knowledge about the existence of a god.
Still, none of these words convey a sense of how evangelistic the believer is concerning his views.
Just because the right can is on your right ear doesn't mean it can't play something from a left channel. There are three drivers in each can, remember? Even if there weren't, you could still mix the left channel into the right can at the appropriate delay and volume.
Ah, ok. I was misunderstanding their concept of playlists.
So there exists the possibility that they have our music in their system, but it is not included in their playlists, and there is no way for us to know that it is in their system unless they decide to include it in their playlists.
Yeah, that makes me kind of angry. I went ahead an opted out explicitly.
According to the TruSonic FAQ the article linked to, you can log in and withdraw your songs at any time.
In addition, only the artists that signed up specifically for TruSonic (before the demise of mp3.com) were imported. I checked and my stuff wasn't on there, even though it had been on mp3.com since '99 or so.
I think their royalty structure sucks, but I don't think they've screwed anyone... yet.

FunHi, and it looks to be thriving.

That is by design, and it is a feature of standard-compliant design. You can code a web page once, and it will render for normal people, blind people, people with 640x480 displays, and everybody else.
You can write perfectly valid code that fails to display properly in any major browser.
Then there is something wrong with the browser.

Start with the Digital Rebel. It's really the only camera in its class.

I wish they'd waited on the Delta 44. Going with the SB Live! makes this useless.
Do yourself a culinary favor; purchase whole beans, a grinder, and a good drip coffee maker (or a French Press type for those in a hurry). You'll be glad you did.
If you order green beans and roast them yourself, you can take that experience to the next level, and even save a little money.

Look at the Stylus Epic as well, but ditch the ziploc and get an OtterBox.
2. What makes you think that the encryption systems available to the general public aren't easily cracked by the boys in Virginia and Maryland?
Mathematics.
Nope... It's illegal to deface it *in any way*. Look it up for yourself.
Nope... It's illegal to render it unfit for circulation. Look it up for yourself.
Probably the Patriot Act. That way they can just label the RFID blocker a Terrorist.
Well, all that acid on Europa certainly explains David Bowman's trip during Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite.
This is the funniest thing I've read in 2004. The pun on the word "trip" just pushes it over the top.
Thanks!
I can't think of any easy ways you could get around a system using this security method - let alone even know that a system is implimenting it.
Sniffing.

Why is the secret service involved? Arent they only concerned with protecvting the president and fake currency?
A thorough explanation can be found in The Hacker Crackdown.
