Well, given how Silicon Valley is vastly more important than Boston (which used to have parity), you can see which approach is more useful for technological advancement.
Actually, the welfare system was changed by Clinton - you only get 5 years, max. Or are you complaining about Social Security?
However, I would say that the Democrats are more inclusive than the Republicans (who label every moderate a RINO), while there is no such thing as a DINO (although I really think Joe Lieberman fits that...)
I just got an MSO4104. 1GHz BW, 4 channels plus logic analyzer channels, big screen, deep capture memory, plus it has USB and network interfaces. I'm really happy with it. Of course, for 20000, it better be nice. The deep memory has already been useful in debugging a long device sequence.
The interface took a little getting used to - I was very used to the previous generation stuff (TDS540 kind of scopes). Still not up to speed on the new scope yet...
But, surprise! Saddam wasn't harboring Al Queda. So why do you support 'vengeance' against someone who wasn't responsible (who was admittedly a bad man)?
And you don't understand what I said. I agree that we probably wouldn't have stars, planets. But why are stars and planets necessary? Why is matter necessary? You don't know all of the possible forms of life, so you can't artificially restrict it to 1 in 10^37 possible universes.
And by forms of life, I don't mean people, or mammals, or carbon based, or even matter based.
Christianity asserts that god has an active role in the universe. So, in your analogy, the programmer intends to be known by the programs. So the programmer could easily make an obvious change that could not be caused by one of the programs.
While it is nice that the number of electrons match to within 10^37, that does not really explain the odds. To use the lottery example, now you are talking about the odds that the winner lives on a particular street (and then the odds that the winner was born on a particular day, since the person had to be born to win, right?)...
So what if the number of protons matches the number of electrons to 10^-37. The process that created (converted energy for) large numbers of protons could require an equivalent number of electrons to occur.
And unless you can rule out all possibilities of all alternative styles of life, your restrictive argument doesn't hold much water with me. Maybe intelligent life could develop using entangled neutrinos if the ratio of electrons to protons is unbalanced by a factor of 1^12. You don't know all of the possible conditions that could support all possible forms of intelligent life. Come back with the 'odds' once you can.
"I bring up to illustrate that there is an awful lot of science that goes into Creationism and/or ID."
I must respectfully disagree. Based on history, Creationism has never pushed anyone to investigate the origins of the universe. Only when science provided a more plausible alternative did Creationism try to use a better answer than "God did it".
As for the odds of something happening by chance, the odds of someone winning a lottery are very different than the odds of a particular person winning the lottery. The second-guessing the odds that Creationism argues is akin to "The odds that the lottery winner over there could have won are astronomical. So, therefore the game must have been manipulated for him to win".
Actually, it's not that bad. The truth is, even if you break the CFL, it is better for the environment than using an incandescent. No really - the energy to burn the CFLs come mostly from coal, even in the US. The amount of mercury in extra coal burnt for an incandescent, even for coal with low trace amounts of mercury, is around 2x the amount of mercury in a CFL. I actually went and calculated it out one day.
Like those proprietary USB cables. Ain't nothin' ever use them. Darn cables - I've got the these VGA connectors - they need a proprietary cable. And those darn ethernet connectors. Don't get me started on DVI. All of theose are expensive and never used anywhere. Not good for bandwith either.

I use Framemaker for almost everything - I find that you can export a PDF or RTF for when you need to talk to Word-bound folk.
That said - I think that Adobe needs to get it's act together - Framemaker 8.0, while really a nice improvement, has shown an unacceptable tendancy to crash. So, if you are in the Frame 7.x series, I would wait until 8.1 to switch.
But I thought this generation of consoles was going to totally pwn1!! all the PC systems. How can the orange box experience be worse on the top of the line console than a medium level PC?
Poor Rush. He got caught with his big mouth flapping. And I'll bet you were incensed about the disrespect to General Betray-Us. But hey, that's different. Sorry, I have no respect or compassion for the fat windbag. He is now trapped by his own hypocrisy.
I'll bet if Rush were caught molesting a 3 year-old his defense would be it was taken out of context.
Even if you are correct, if a legal dispute occurs, this clause will be (ab)used to AT&T's advantage. So, while the intention may be what you said, I fully expect AT&T to use it to silence critics.
I'd like to echo some of the above points. I was making a NAS server that was to be on 24-7.
1) Dump the high performance GPU. A cheap PCI video card saved me 50W. 2) Seasonic makes some nice 80% efficiency PSUs. Well worth it. 3) Turn off integrated peripherals in the BIOS. Are you using the Parallel ports and serial ports? Lower the bus frequency if you can.
I found that a cron job to turn off the CPU at midnight, along with the auto-turn on timer in the BIOS set to 7:00 also worked quite nicely.
State that you want to continue to receive your pay for 6 months after you leave if they decide to enforce the contract. A contract is an agreement - don't simply sign away something of value (6 months of work) without something in return. You may need to ease up a bit (60% of your pay for the duration of the non-compete clause), but I would at least try to get a nice chunk. Of course, that depends on how stable your job is and how ease it is to find another. DON'T just sign it and expect that you can ignore it later. Lawyers have ways of making you adhere to contracts.

No, the major complaints with Vista are not about legacy SW. The main complaints are interface and HW support.
But the point of the article is that the industry DIDN'T offer any uniform solution. How much longer should we have to wait?
Is your world really that simple or are you just a troll?

I figure at $600, they should compare to a raid0 of Velicoraptor drives. Suddenly the advantages of SSD start to fade...

I believe it depends on the coherence length of the laser. The coherence length defines how large an object you can make a hologram.
He might as well have said there is 100million seconds in a year and he would be still just as correct.
How about this: I'll sell you my car for 'roughly' $10,000USD. Any takers?

No, actually it was around 36% of drive failures did not have an SMART indications. Around 49% were predicted based on 4 or so of the key parameters.
