You can take it a step futher. If you are in a command prompt, and you're in the directory with the document a document you want to work with, you can just type the document name and hint enter. It starts up the associated application and opens the document.
The newer laptop harddrives that harddrive based players use are much more resiliant to shock than old school drives. I've dropped my Creative Jukebox player about 10 times (on pavement, etc) and it still works. There's even broken plastic pieces rattling around inside the player and the harddrive is still performing.
We've used something called MirrorFolder to mirror contents of specific folders across a network. It worked fairly nicely and integrated well with Windows Explorer.
Back in 1886 the US Supreme Court ruled during in a railbed dispute titled Santa Clara County vs. Southern Pacific Railroad. The ruling held that a private corporation was a "natural person" entitled to all the rights and privileges of a human being.

I think we should be directing all of this anti-spam energy at real spam that consume trees. I receive a tree worth's of paper spam everyday in the mail. Why not attack that first, it would seem to have a greater impact on the world at large.
I interpret this guys question to be "How can we make our existing C/C++ code easier to deal with across platforms". It's easy to suggest a change of language to be the answer to all problems, but the fact that most of you are missing is that this guy's company has spent a lot of money to develop, test, and debug the code that they have now. Throwing it all out to change to another language is not the smart thing to do, and will set them back at least a year or more.
I think looking back at Juno/etc would give you an answer. People are willing to pay a little bit of money to avoid annoyances. Why not go with the standard model of charging for access?
This is one of the great PR victories for companies/public relations people. Framing people caring about their own community as VILLIANS. In this age of complete apathy, we should be happy that some people care about their backyard and want to make their section of the world not suck.
Kinda silly to see "NIMBY anyone" and then see "glad I don't live in Nevada" in the next sentence. "Doublethink anyone?"
Simply because the decision was not made by a government body does not mean it's not censorship. The airways are a natural resource, and when we give corporations the right to broadcast on them they have an obligation to give us a variety of choices. Once they start to limit (their already limited selection of choices) they are failing us and we should take the airways back and let someone that will provide us with better service take them over. This is all moot for me though, I never listen to the radio anyways.;)
I've been using the SMC Barricade Wireless to handle our home network. It provides DSL/Cable and dialup connectivity. Does all of the firewalling and redirection that I've needed so far. It also has the ability to be a print server. Finally, it does the wireless ethernet stuff I wanted. It's got a decent web-based administration.
I haven't pushed this thing to it's limits yet. But it seems to be a very small and versitile box.
If you're a poor student, don't buy one. Use a paper and a pencil and stop wasting money on dumb toys.
Alternatively, buy one, but don't whine about being poor.
Consider consumer reports, they take no ads and provide a decent comparision of products. There are many cases in "old media" where advertisers have too much power and influence content. Which ultimately degrade what we are feed our brains. I haven't read Salon very much before, but I might check them out now to show support for an adless model.

> Corporations are not people
Umm, the Supreme Court thinks differently:
Back in 1886 the US Supreme Court ruled during in a railbed dispute titled Santa Clara County vs. Southern Pacific Railroad. The ruling held that a private corporation was a "natural person" entitled to all the rights and privileges of a human being.

Interesting quote from a game show host.

This is a decent modeler focused on low poly models and texture editing:

I'd just slap the CC information on a box that's not accessible to the outside world. Turn off everything you can on it, etc.
