As is, it only does black and white labels. How much harder would it be to extend the process to color labels? I imagine it'd require multiple layers of different coatings to achieve the proper result, plus the use of different lasers, but it shouldn't be impossible.
I think I know the perfect things the airlines could offer. LAN parties. You just bring a laptop (or they could loan you one on selected flights) and you play with the people on the plane with you. I can imagine such a thing taking off, actually. Or they could just offer Internet. *shrug*
I actually prefer PuTTY over OpenSSH myself (on Windows -- OpenSSH is fine on any other OS). No need to go through another layer to access the network. Other than that, wouldn't it run into problems running off the CD, especially if write access is required? Just a thought.
Doesn't XP SP2 come with a popup blocker? Why would they put another one in (besides bringing popup blocking to earlier versions of Windows)? It just seems like a waste to me.
All space missions are quite expensive. NASA has to determine whether a mission will provide more benefits than costs. Fuel costs quite a bit, as well as the training and the parts needed to build a rocket capable of going to Mars. Any benefits? Not many. That's probably why not much has been done.
Unless you meant fraternities that are in the Greek system, in which case I have no idea. Fraternities are about social networking and getting drunk at wild parties, not coding and playing HL2.:)
Someone needs to mod the parent up more! This is something everyone's overlooking here. The Amateur Radio service in America is screwed if this becomes reality and the ARRL needs your help. Get your ham license today!
In everyone's mind, Bush won. And since Ohio uses electronic voting, there's no way to do a recount since there's no paper trail in the first place. Even if there was a paper trail I seriously doubt they could overcome the 100,000 vote margin needed to win. Just my two cents.
Is it possible that Bush will appoint a more conservative replacement for Ashcroft? That's been the danger, especially since up to four Supreme Court positions may open up this term. How would a more conservative Attorney General affect the US?
Although scammers are nasty creatures, shouldn't people know better than to send money to pay for something they supposedly won? This isn't a troll; I'm totally serious. Are people not taught common sense and critical thinking skills? In any case, I'm glad this person's going to jail.
Complex systems are difficult to debug. Simple as that. With something that has as many lines of code as Windows and IE, it's impossible not to miss at least one bug. Sure, a change in policies might help, but you can never get rid of bugs. That said, Firefox does seem to have fewer problems.
Amen! Kerry didn't give me a good enough reason to vote for him, and neither did Bush. All I heard was "he's not Bush", and nothing substantial. Unless the Democrats can differentiate themselves from the Republicans, people aren't going to want to change what party's president.
For instance, open-source style politics was the reason Howard Dean was leading before the primaries. It allowed him to reach out to more people than he otherwise would have. In general the Internet is causing the voice of the people to be heard, and we should expect more Howard Dean-style campaigns in the future.
A large voter bloc that always comes out to elections is seniors. To candidates, it's more efficent to cater to the issues of seniors than to many of the other issues out there (not to mention the AARP's enormous influence in politics). And contrary to what you might think, seniors care more about whether they'll have Medicare tomorrow than whether the DMCA is repealed. Maybe if more young people voted this might change.
DirectAdmin is the best out of the others I've used (cPanel, Ensim Webppliance, and Plesk). It's just cleaner overall. Of course, no control panel is much better than having one, IMHO.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea for Slate to be posting exit polls. Exit polls tend to throw elections when they're very close, IMHO, and we cannot afford to have the election be in doubt this time around.
BTW: if you're reading this and you haven't voted yet, GO VOTE.
This is where private spaceflight (like SS1) would come in handy, once it matures enough. NASA could simply outsource the actual launch and mission control to these companies so they can concentrate on development. In any case, they should keep the ability for manned flight until they find a suitable replacement.
Kids are supposed to be learning in the classroom, not playing games, IMHO. Same thing goes for computers, but that's a whole different topic. If nothing else, games contribute to childhood obesity too, which is far worse than not learning at all. *shrug*
Identity theft can destroy people, literally. Not to mention the years it could take to clean up the damage. This is excellent, and hopefully more busts will follow.:)
PriceWatch shows the cheapest "barebones" PC (CPU + mobo + case) is $56 (AMD Athlon XP 2000). $20 shipping gets you $76. Combine it with RAM and you've already hit the $100 limit (processor not included). It would have to be network boot only in order to make it, if you somehow got a free processor and/or RAM that is.

...Sydney to Australia? Are you circling around the airport and landing again? ;)

But aren't there projects that are already doing this?

More than 99% in Australia.
Out of the countries that don't make voting mandatory.

Kerry most likely said that during the debate to gain votes. I don't think he really means it.
