Out of curiosity, does your allergy prevent you from using swimming pools?
One of the nice things about Albany and New York City is that politicans during the turn of the last century in these cities saw fit to secure good & pure surface water supplies. The NYC reservoir system extends nearly to Binghamton and provides clean, aerated and flouridated water without chemical filtering. Albany water is just as good, without the fluoride.
I'm talking about gallon jugs of water in the supermarket here.
I've lived in two areas (Albany, NY and NYC) where the local municipal water sources are exceptional, yet people buy Britta filters and bottled water like its going out of style. I can understand buying water in a place like Boston where the water sucks or in some suburb where the water comes from a shared well.
Bill Clinton was a big fan of announcing or starting trial programs in the Midwest or South. Journalists are generally so self-centered in their New York and Washington environments and would never notice anything political happening beyond their suburbs.
Clinton achieved much of his success in part because of that model. He'd float an idea, get local coverage and poll. They'd repeat in multiple markets until they found out what was most popular to critical demographics.
Other OSS desktop projects have too much ideological and egotistical overhead and too much corporate influence.
Try naming some Mozilla developers... I bet you can't.
The Mozilla people have an extreme loyalty to their product. Their focus seems to be developing superior applications, period.
Other popular Open-Source projects are too focused on trying to unseat Windows or too bogged down in bureaucratic infighting.
The keys to making a successful product are:
- Make the best product that you can - Tell your audience about it
That why Apple has always been successful at selling workstations. They build a premium, high-quality product and evangelize it.
Think about projects like GNU Hurd and FreeBSD. Each of these projects started out with the potential for greatness, but never met that potential. GNU Hurd gets no attention because its leadership is too focused on idealogical matters and vanity. FreeBSD created a political process around it that created a perception that new developers weren't welcome.
With Mozilla, you never hear about political bullshit. The leadership of the project is focused on the project instead of looking for their names in print. They certainly have made their share of mistakes, but when they do they go back and code.... And the result is the best browser and one of the better email clients on the market.
I started using Mozilla around release 0.5, and never had any performance problems... even on the 450Mhz P2 that I was using at the time.
I suspect that the people bitching about Mozilla performance either have 50 spyware processes running or are part of the Gentoo crowd that is seeing noticeable performance increases after recompiling GNOME for the 5th time.
Avoid "wedding photographers". Anything with the term "wedding" on the business card or who attends wedding shows is ripping you off to the tune of 300-700%.
I'd look for referrals from friends or interview graduate students at a local university. Make it clear that they are working for hire, and that is not negotiable. If they would like to use your photos for a portfolio, grant them a license in exchange for a discount.
To sell stuff in Canada, you have to conform to all sorts of regulations. One example is bilingual documentation. It's a waste of NewEgg's time & money to have to check each product for compliance.
Certain items may have a import duty on them as well, in which case the shipper collects it from you (the buyer) upon delivery. If you refuse to pay the fees (which are often outrageous), the vendor eats the shipping cost.
I deeply respect your compassion and desire for peace.
Unfortunately, human history doesn't make that a likely prospect. WW2 was an 8 year display of barbarity on a massive scale.
Nothing about people has changed in the decades following the Second World War. Only the overwhelming force and omnipresence of the superpowers (just the US today) makes that sort of war impossible.
Technically they aren't franchise stores, but licensees. I believe that they sign short term (around 5 year) contracts with licensees, who can then be dropped later on.
Usually if you see a starbucks in an airport, bookstore, arena, convention center, etc it is a licensed shop.
The main reason for this is that big venues tend to have exclusive contracts for all vending. In sports arenas, for example, everything from condom vending machines in the bathroom to the clubhouse restaurant is all owned by the same people.
And you can, of course, direct us to some place that shows that it has had effect?
Using your logic, we shouldn't have any regulations at all, since prior to about 1967 you were able to bring anything you wanted on aircraft and neither you nor your luggage were subject to search prior to boarding.
Terrorists are not criminals, they see themselves as soldiers who are quite willing to die for their cause.
You'll notice that most of the "foiled" terrorists involve braindead patsys... like the guy who was furiously attempting to light his explosive-laden shoe with a matchbook in business class.

People are paying for branding.
You are assuming that they are more reliable.
These days the Times is at the level of the NY Post and Fox news in terms of political propaganda.
It is to the political and media elite.

A pint of high-quality water can be obtained from many municipal water systems for a fraction of a penny.
Yet people are happy to pay $2 for a bottle of the same water.
Things are worth whatever you are willing to pay.

That's why I said "interview graduate students". If they don't have a clue, you don't hire them.
Anything is better than dealing with cheesy and overpriced "wedding photographers"

The photo shop won't print a copy either. Try bringing a professional looking photo to a store. They will refuse to do it.

How big is the developer base really?
My impression is that most of the real Mozilla work is done by ex-Netscape employees who feel particularly devoted to their project.
You're ignoring the question... the poster obviously doesn't want keyboards dangling around at a remote site.
He wants a box to sit there and do its thing without being disturbed by users.
If you really want security, I recommend Emacs on a Lisp Machine
The local telco will lie their asses off and charge you insanely expensive rates for mediocre service.
Unless you're in a downtown area or a tech park, forget about redundancy.
IMHO, anything facing the public that needs redundancy belongs in a colo.
The specialists obviously makes money for himself, but often puts his own money on the line to maintain an orderly market.

Both work really well for me!

I've heard that that regulation only applies to over the air, FCC licensed broadcasts.
Many apartment complexes provide a connection to a common VHF/UHF antenna, which may meet the standard of the FCC regs.
You don't want your pcs to break during a demo.
Flashy and without substance is what a demo should be.
Oh yeah? Try setting up Unix machines without hardening and see what happens.

Laws theoretically deter criminals.
