We just spent two weeks in rural Wyoming. We had broadband in some pretty surprising places, like Dubois (population 900). Those who had it were WiFi-ing it, in fact if you hang out near the piano on the sidewalk, you have multiple coverage from the local hotel, coffee shop and restaurant.
The larger problem we found with info access was cellular. Cingular is basically nonexistent in WY, Verizon's a little better, Sprint is best. Cingular has "partner networks" which I still haven't had explained adequately, for which you are apparently charged a premium. And there's a tiny piece of the info that says if you use the partners too much you will be in violation of your contract. Nice.
I know the definition of faith, and of reason for that matter. The question was: do you hold that they are mutually exclusive - i.e., does someone who employs reason necessarily have to eschew faith, and vice versa?
IIRC those are the ones they forgot were there when the public works guys couldn't find a parking space near a proposed pile-driving site, craned their necks, shrugged and in their best Bugs Bunny voice said "O.K. Mac, start poundin'..." After which said piles sent a lot of the Chicago River into the underground system.
The irony is the Chicago freight tunnels were made by telling people they were just digging telephone line space, when all the time they were planning a mine-gauge track system for commercial freight.
With all that it takes to get TO the airport, what it's like to get THROUGH the airport, having to negotiate wildly unpredictable delays, and after they've confiscated anything you have to drink, any food that's not dry, told you food on the plane will cost you $3 per candy bar and $5 per sandwich... After being questioned by several 90-day-wonder employees, most of which no longer speak English suitably, we're supposed to be perfectly calm and cheery and watch as another 90-day-wonder gives us the Larry-David-One-Eyebrow-Up treatment? There has to be a better way than all this.
AW WP does OK into Pages with pretty high fidelity. Surprisingly, objects cut and paste from PageMaker under Classic into Pages in OSX. (I know, I know... it's almost over...)
AW SS to Numbers is a problem. I just moved 20 years of cycling mileage and analysis to Numbers. Formulas do OK, there are three trouble spots I've found: - Charts come in with some object groupings broken, so there are pieces of them disconnected. - Data points in series have a different collection of symbols, which don't seem size-able. - I haven't found a way to split a spreadsheet window so you can have a summary line viewable in a different pane from data lines. Maybe I haven't explored the paradigm for Numbers enough.
Pages does have some suggestions that I know I submitted, likely others: - the default behavior of objects in "layout" mode is to float/nowrap, not inline. - there is a format bar, which is a great recovery of screen real estate over the fonts sheet, though the sheet is still one stop shopping.
This app pulled my chestnuts out of the fire more than a few times - simple, predictable, page accurate, lightweight, did 80% of Office... with a database, no less!
Here's an article touting how watching bad physics is likely teaching our kids they can jump a bridge in a bus, but when it's violence these same people are watching, there are loud and broad claims that there's no way they're internalizing that.
Sounds like they plugged the iPhone plans, unlimited data and all, into their existing billing system. Somebody's dept is getting reamed, after that they should be able to fix it.
A breath of fresh air after Maynor and MOAB. Apple is not losing any sleep because their handling of bugs isn't joy-making to either Maynor or LMH. These guys are transparent and helping with the fix and should be rewarded for such.
I just went thru this on my Mac. The install package is built around IE on their CD. You need it and its associated script/files to crank up the modem without central office intervention. Once it's over, you delete IE and its stuff and you're back to normal with your apps of choice. Oddly enough it's the only place I know of to get the death knell version of IE Mac. I never use the Comcast web portal, so maybe it's also needed for The Fan (is it still around?) or video email, but I doubt the/. crowd is affected by those.

.. what W will be doing when he leaves office - moving to England to be closer to his buddy Tony, and being the figurehead for this effort.
Yes.

Oh, I see now. Lovely. This is like turning on your headlights and dropping down to 30 mph.
OK - well that was how those old 6v Beetles worked...
That's no moon....
... can you reason your way to the conclusion "Faith is the crutch of the weak-minded and/or lazy."

Do you hold that faith and reason are mutually exclusive?
At least at Apple, OS revs get way-layed by iPhones. But this...
I'm confused.

"The IDs will be required for access to all federal areas including flights, state parks "
State parks are not federal areas. I guess you meant national parks?

It's not a troll, it's a seed for discussion.
Ending badly... for the touchscreen version at any rate...

The guy in charge of uber-autonomous robots is named TETHER?
You can't make this stuff up.
"and the people will have time to look away before they get serious damage."
Oh? Nerve impulses max out around the speed of sound.
Last I heard, light travels at the speed of.... um.... light!
By the time you see it, you're in the same class as those two horror stories above.

Then they're clearly not part of a crack intelligence team...
Then again, if a three-digit-/.-IDer in the robotics lab at CMU called me at 3 am and told me the sun was out - I'd just hafta go look...
Every time I take it down east. I got hooked on dulse years ago and pedal round the shore.
