Did you ever consider giving them some fucking money for that service?
Did they ever consider charging for it?
Yes, actually, I would pay a subscription for this, I think it would be worth about $5/month (to me) to keep me from synchronizing manually. If there were another provider (or Xmarks) that would offer this, I would subscribe. Unfortunately, I was not part of their marketing analysis, and I have to trust that their sample size included others that did indicate this as well. Thank you for your well-considered (if inconsiderate) question.
Aside from happy hour, shouldn't we discuss power delivered on the specific signal spectrum instead of "bars"? I've always kind of smirked at folks discussing how many "bars" they have. I also wondered at Cingular/AT&T's commercials "more bars in more places" - couldn't this just be redefining the space like Apple is doing?
Sciam and Penn State University published this last year showing that a "recently discovered pathogen, Israeli Acute Paralysis Virus (IAPV), the presence of which is strongly correlated with hives suffering from the disorder"
Blaming cell towers and cell phones seems to be en vogue, but I don't see a lot of peer-reviewed entomology articles supporting this (yet).
Read distance measured in microns, magnets, heads, cylinders, normal forces, weight and my favorite, impact functions - all of these seem like great reasons to move to SSD. 1000 (or more) rewrites is a scary limit for the SSD route, but I like the idea of walking around with my laptop on and not worrying about drive failures (as much).
Take this for what it's worth, but I was at a conference a couple years ago and the VP of Intel's desktop support division said that 30% of his problems with laptops were solved by requiring folks to wait for the drive to spin down after hibernating/shutdown operations and before shouldering the laptop. Even if the number seems somewhat inflated, it seems like good advice for anyone with a "conventional" hard drive.
The original page is a huge amount of text -- 5462 words on the page. This is like "War and Peace" for a web page. The new version only has 3319 words on the page and the text has been simplified.
This new version is much smaller, like "War and P."
Scriber's First Economic Corollary: Any economic hurdle can be bypassed through the purchase of politicians, lawyers, or sufficient media attention.
So here's what supporters use as justification: The land owners were offered, on average, $1.7M for.1 acre of land - surely enough just compensation that they should have sold to the development company...
My answer: NO! OBVIOUSLY, the market price for that land was higher, or they WOULD HAVE sold. "Just compensation" in a free market society (which we seem to be growing farther and farther from even aspiring to) is what the market will bear. Did they try $1.8M, $2.0M, $2.5M? At some point it economically makes more sense to build your little mall somewhere else. Can I (actually, I should probably use the words "Should I be able to" here!) go into a store and say that I don't like the $2 price tag, I think the bread should cost $.25, here's your quarter? Of course not! The store owners (used to) have the right to set their price where they wanted it. If they wanted me to shop at their store, they lower it; if they want me to go across the street, they raise it. I guess the real market economy lesson here is that's it's cheaper to hire lawyers than to compete on the open market for property.
A New York federal judge has just reversed the sealing order in the PATRIOT Act challenge. I just took a look at the aclu.org site and saw the press release. I thought I'd let everyone know before the backlash st-... ooops. I see I'm too late.
It used to be that in order to compete for an Academy Award, the film had to be released via a huge 80 pound cannister of film (or TWO!). Then, when smaller films were getting included (in an attempt to be inclusive), the AMPAS decided to allow some of these smaller films to bypass the rules. I'm sure they see this as a mechanism to expand on a "loophole".
MEANWHILE... they risk losing relevance in the minds of the public by ignoring those films that are garnering significant support throughy internet-first releases, or through DVD releases. The trick is defining the line between "film" and "tv" or "internet". Good luck with that one folks!
Case Studies (as in this case) always seem to come at the end of the book. If they were really analyzed they'd be earlier. Too often this is the author's response to the publisher's request for 80 more pages.
Build a garage! If you start building the platform for the "attic" of the garage as soon as it's finished you'll have a place to move your stuff once your spouse claims the garage floor-area. Keep the wires between the first set of trusses, keep the old components (mice etc.) in the second truss bay. (Taking monitors up and down isn't fun.)
The best part for me is that she never sees the piles of stuff, so it's "OK"
How about a finger above the "Yes, I'm sure!" key or the "any" key? or above a 2-key keyboard with a "1" key and a "0" key? How about the caffeine molecule?
Now... who starts the organization and management of the votes?
Fencing lames' provide a nice insulated jacket that could be electrified easily.
I'm not sure how 'stylish' a lame would be (they do look similar to this jacket), but you could get a nice womans saber jacket for just over $200 (or a foil vest for $100). I'm sure this is cheaper than whatever this no-contact jacket would sell for...
The 'evil' crackling sound wastes that charge you're carrying - why bother with the arcing?
my opinion of the constitution of art (or artform):
A product is commissioned or purchased by private industry or individuals (not gov.), from a creator who wishes to be called an artist, the result having a specific (monetary) value and deemed to by art by the consumer.
Anything simply is not art. "Piss Christ" is not art - it was "purchased" with NEA grants. Flourescent case mods MAY be art, but if any of the requirements above aren't met, I don't consider it art.

The other strategy is to use "Arthur Andersen Rounding" which rounds all figures up to and including 3,800,000,000.00 to zero.
Bundling makes sense from the software side of the shop:
Sun's been seeing their market share diminish to almost nothing in the application server space. iPlanet isn't getting used by anyone, but with this new move I think we can expect to see the market share for Sun ONE skyrocket. It won't necessarily mean that everyone's using it now, but their numbers will look good.
I did search google, and I found a few different sources for "JavaFaces" and it wasn't clear that they were all the same.
The point of the original post is the dissonance between Sun Micro and Apache/Jakarta, so why is this alternative (read "non-Sun") competitor of Struts listed as an issue in this dispute? THIS is why I thought I might be missing something.
Coward - thanks for posting the link to google, I'm sure I couldn't get there on my own.
I currently building a few applications using the Struts framework (I assume that's what was intended in the original post "stuts") and I've been really happy with the Jakarta efforts (including ant and log4j). I have not read about JavaFaces, nor could I find anything obvious on java.sun.com. If anyone has a bookmark for a good summary page or two, would you mind posting them?
They are not just "careful."
In fact, they are not merely "very careful."
These entomologists are being "very, very careful."
ok, if you're THAT careful, then I'm sure there's no risk these insects will get out of the cages.
They'll never breed (we irradiated them!).
And we won't find weird glowing things in our daily life... like this.
When Monsanto genetically modified their corn (the Bt strain) in the midwest, the same assurances were given, but there have been issues with Monarch butterflies unable to eat the milkweed in the corn fields containing the specialized corn.
I'm not opposed to genetic research, but I think there needs to be more lab time to ensure that the sterility gene works and that the (mate the females to death with horny males) approach is viable...
When I fly, I don't bother taking my laptop out (creating a scene and annoying those around me), but I'll have my Visor somewhere handy. Since cell phones can't be used at any point (except at the terminal) on a plane, why combine these technologies? It would be nice if there was a mechanism to turn off the cell searching/handoffs while leaving the PDA on. Although, even if the phone were off, I would rather not be the guy the old lady is looking at (and calling the flight attendants) because of his obvious disregard for the rules... even if I'm not breaking any!
