Sure, they could have internal storage, but you pay for the camera without that, so why should they increase their costs? Sure, they could have a better battery, but then you would buy the $70 secondary battery. Sure, they could improve the optical zoom, but it's cheaper for them to add digital zoom and fool most consumers with it.
My personal favoured modification would be: you can't be re-elected. You can be elected once each as a school inspector, state senator, congressman, senator, president, whatever - but only once.
I think a dilution of power is necessary. What if there were 4000 people in Congress? No one of them would have much power. Campaign contributions wouldn't get you as far.
A well established third party would work well also because it would significantly reduce the likelihood that a single party holds a majority in Congress. Things would need the agreement of two of the three parties to stand a chance.
If a third party candidate is able to somehow upset both Bush and Kerry and take a state or two, they'd possibly pull things so that nobody gets a majority of the electoral votes. Realistically, a third candidate of the strength of the other two would result in an even 3-way split, which would most certainly promise that nobody can capture a majority. If that happens... the whole system turns on it head.
Good. The system sucks. It's not working as designed. Republicans and Democrats have worked hard to make the system very difficult for third parties. They are ensuring their continuance. It's nice that we paid them their salaries to think up ways to keep themselves in power.
How is it that we have to choose between Bush and Kerry? Could you find two worse people to run? The candidates are incredibly weak, yet there they are neck and neck to be President of the United States.
With the choices we have, I'd like to vote for having no president at all for four years. No one to sign the legislation, so nothing can be screwed up for at least four years. It's not like we are in constant need of legislation.

How did you know what to type? You had to know what you were supposed to be looking for. That's not so cool for most users. What if I just want to be able to play some a DVD? Am I supposed to magically know that I need "libdvdcss" and "mplayer"?
The college has no right to tell you that you can't use a legally licensed device in the 2.4GHz spectrum in the apartment.
How is it any different from telling you that you can't have your own refrigerator, or that you can't smoke in the apartment? They can tell you those things. Is the problem that this infringes on your right to be an elite hacker (sorry, I don't know how to spell that the dumbass way)?
Well, if this programmer really wants to prove his/her skills, the worm will be able to detect attractive people that are naked and report back only those feeds.
As a business man I can confirm this and would like to add that we would also like it if you would mail us your life savings at the same time.
Should I send it to your address in Nigeria? Alternately, I could just deposit it into that account I have set up for our other transaction. Please let me know, as I know this is of utmost importance.
Maybe you haven't been out of college long enough to notice, but every company is a collection of screw ups. Bear in mind that the people that organized your travel and your visit are likely administrative staff that are not well paid. They are not managers or executives. For low pay, you get low quality. You'll find that in all companies.

I know it's on the way. I was commenting on the fact that people are asking what's next when they haven't even finished Doom 3. There's no demo version. There's no Mac version. There's no Linux version.

Already talking about what is next? Heck, I was hoping for a Doom 3 demo.
And they shouldn't go installing it yet, either. I'm 1 for 2 on installs of it. I had no problems with one of my work desktops, but my home PC won't boot past the loading of the AGP440.sys driver with SP2.
In large part, they aren't. I've worked at several hospitals, and the machines are not even exposed to their own CDROM drives, let alone the Internet at large. There are firewalls, proxies, and website whitelists. Most computers are locked down with policies that prevent the users from having a 'Run' menu, accessing Windows Explorer, or even executing programs they weren't assigned to run. They have a handful of icons on their desktop that come from their profile. They have no access to get to anything else.
When you are working on a network of several thousand clients where many of them are critical to medical care, you don't dick around with letting your users run Internet Explorer and point it at Bonzi Buddy.
Oh, so if the people running the libraries are just as ass-backwards as the AG, this makes censorship OK?
What's so hard about this? He was being selective about the materials that were being supplied to the libraries via the state government. That's it. He wasn't telling them they couldn't carry Outkast. He was simply saying that the state wasn't going to provide it to them. It's not censorship! The libraries can carry Outkast if they want to. No one is being access to the music. Nothing is being burned.
Hardly. I could care less what you listen to or read. If my local library carries copies of "Nazism For Dummies", then good for them. If they want to carry Eminem, good for them.
I think all material belongs in a library.
Have you ever donated materials to your library? I have donated a hundred or so books to my local library. Not all the books I give them end up on the shelves. They pick and choose. Why? Because they have only so much room on the shelves. They have to be selective.
Censorship is censorship, no matter how you try to disguise it.
Quit throwing around heavy word when they're not needed. The Kansas AG did not say they were banning any of those CDs. He said they were making sure that the state government was not giving out materials that people might find objectionable. The Kansas Librarians' Association had no objections.
Now, if you can find a link to an article about the Kansas AG forcing a library to remove or not carry certain materials, then come back with the word censorship. Until then, quit screaming about nothing. Otherwise, no one will pay attention when you scream about something important.
Probably not a good article to have floating around with your name in it. I'm sure there are plenty of helpdesk personnel, network administrators, and "computer guy" friends who would like to punch that guy in the mouth.
Even if he wasn't an IT manager of sorts, he did the right thing in proving to higher-ups that his boss is doing nothing but wasting the company's money by playing solitaire and looking at stock market crap instead of working.
He proved nothing except that his boss leaves solitaire open on his computer. If his boss was getting his job done and pleasing his employer, who cares how he did it?
There are no real negatives to stored procedures from a development standpoint.
Other than the fact that they suck, there are no negatives! Seriously though, the database is for data, other languages are for business logic. Why split your business logic between your class library and your database server? Keep the logic in one place. Isn't that why you created the class library in the first place?
The will probably get 32000 more in the next 7 hours.
32,000 messages about being tired of first posts, SCO, Microsoft, Goatse.cx, John Romero and fan boys. The poor guy is probably going to become very confused!

Apple should not think of Real as any Real threat :)
Let 'em use the 'pod and win a major PR victory for not invoking the DMCA.
They can't selectively go after people. If they don't go after Real, it opens the door for everyone else - Microsoft, Real, Rhapsody, etc.

If sexual acts can be so defined as to not include fellatio, then surely reasonable can defined however is desired.
If Jennings were on Who Wants to be a Millionaire, he could already have more money by now (and it wouldn't take him a month to do it).
They probably filmed those episodes in a week or two at most.
