Now, I was thinking of running GNUCash at home, on a Linux box, and making it available over the home network on the wife's XP laptop.
If she runs Cygwin, and X, I should be able to forward the GNUCash session, right? Can anyone comment (in a technical, helpful way) on the relative crack-smokingness of this idea?
Microsoft Services for Uniux doesn't really offer much for this scenario, does it?
With the obvious follow-on report that, after recovery of the laptop, a trio of additional security consultants verified that the laptop data were not accessed prior to recovery.
Said consultants using a ouija board, divining rod, and tarot deck, respectively.
Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
1:30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
So, as long as we're OK with proof-texting, I wouldn't say the Bible directly sets bounds on what can be done biochemically.
Of course, flip over a chapter...
2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
I daresay humanity has significant, basic challenges in following Ref(A), before even getting to the more advanced bioethical ones.
Of exactly what part of money did you detect a lack in the political process?
What's really lacking in the system is transparency.
While privacy (or, at least the veneer thereof) is certainly a requirement, what of the ethic that whatever I'm doing, I should be comfortable admitting publicly? IOW, conscience.
governments rarely become less restrictive with the passage of time, since governments are expected to, you know, "do things" and "solve problems." Regardless what political philosophy they adhere to, governments just aren't prone to seeing their duty as one of removing interference from citizens' lives. So all else being equal, a nation's code of justice will tend to become more complex and intrusive with time, increasing its citizens' need to ensure their own privacy.
As somebody wise once observed about whoever runs History:
Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
Consider Led Zeppelin: they dropped the 'a' in lead, because they wanted to make sure Americans pronounced it like the soft metal, and not as if some zeppelin were out in front.
Similarly, Google would never set themselves up to have their territory pronounced "Goo-gland".
While not exactly ANSI-compliant, and certainly choking on a lot of more sophisticated queries, the MS Jet engine does pack significant heat, especially if it can be used in a stand-alone mode.
Access's report object is also a good 80% solution for laying stuff out on paper.
Before upping the complexity of your solution, I would make very sure that you know exactly what the requirements are, and what is not already attainable with tools on hand.
Steven Wright talked about having jury duty. Kind of an insane case: 5,000 ants dressed up as rice and robbed a Chinese restaurant.
But he said he knew some of them, and they wouldn't do anything like that.
So, I'm betting that the "other other" white powder won't afford much temptation.
Next time you have a column of tiny immigrants breaking in and going for the sugar, block their ingress with a pile of the other white powder. Cheaper and less toxic than some of the other alternatives.

the Law of Obstructive Conformity[1] which says that, given a sufficiently large ruleset, one can always locate a way to destroy any hope of mission accomplishment.
Beset with yet another layer of Policies, Programs, and Procedures the things a bureaucracy will need are:
feasibility studies
staffing increases
training
miscellaneous budget increases
Does anyone know the source of that quote in the Civilization IV game:
The bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of an expanding bureaucracy.
I'm extremely mellow about people who insist on abdicating freedom through their licensing choices, but I find that the number of people willing to go through the learning curve of FOSS is sadly small.
People want arithmetic, and FOSS presents them with calculus.
Less metaphorically, they care not fig #1 about ext2 vs. Reiser4 vs. ext3 vs. LILO vs. grub...
People just want C:\ (see? colon slashed!)
People dig that stuff. And no amount of technical merit or ethical license purity will sway them.
I was looking to do something on the cheap, mainly for the experience.
As pointed out elsewhere, the heftier CPU in a game console might be a better idea for running GCC.
So, do you get some used XBoxen, or PlayStations? One could argue against either parent company...

So, IE is Chris Farley, and Firefox is David Spade in "Tommy Boy II: There's Browsers in my Trousers!"
How does this scene get reworked?
Firefox: Oh that sounds good: melted chocolate inside the dash, that really ups the resale value.
IE: I think you'll be okay here, they have a thin candy shell. 'Surprised you didn't know that.
Firefox: I think your brain has a thick candy shell.
IE: Your... Your brain has the shell on it.
Firefox: Are you talking?

Oh, as if Google had found a way to nullify the traditional power of Slashdot and word-of-mouth...
This product seems like it might work well for a "compile farm starter kit", if you picked up a quad-pack.
But I can't find any mention on the linksys site about the RAM on these gadgets. Is it adequate?
Some gaming consoles might also do, but why feed either Empire?
I guess, in the sense of risk-averse.
Relative to the Southern Baptist Convention, though...
Shave x seconds off the closing time for every bid, as a 'sudden death' rule.
Then, open a betting site to wager on actual end times.
