decided upon by 1) The best solution and 2) the lowest bid.
It might be more prudent to look at the average bid, as the ones at the extremes of the scale are likely to be bogus. Too low usually means they're smoking some sort of crack about their ability to deliver. Too high is probably old tech trying to stay relevant. Just a thought.

Actually, chicken and cows aren't so bad - though there is a chance of something crossing over, you're more likely to pick up a human strain of something that's been beefed up by crappy antibiotic usage...
My point was supposed to be that taking antibiotics when it's not life or death is like spinning the chamber -- and a few people spinning the chamber is going to visit some pretty nasty stuff on the rest of us some day.
we better all get on this and make free alternatives to MS better and faster before... uhh... before... before we get bored and make the robots do it for us.
seriously -- why do we have to hurry? it'll be nice to sleeze up all slow and then wake up one day and the world is ours.;)

I believe you have to extract the cyanide from bitter almonds, or at least de-plenish it in some form.
Most bitter almond extract actually has more scary stuff in it - the gooey inner pits from apricots. Which also has cyanide in it. I guess that makes my favorite dessert something like fugu...
At least we're not taste-testers for the ricin factory...
bartok, checked out your journal entry on kuro5hin - in answer to your question there - bitter almonds are just another variety of almond - with a bit more cyanide than the 'sweet' variety.
you know, being able to smell cyanide is a genetic trait, and that bodies of people poisoned by it smell like bitter almond.

This will kick open the doors for plenty of old-school D&D action!
Wife attacks! You are wounded in the (rolls die) pride.
Don drunkenness.
Roll die for level of drunkenness.

Your wounds' severity subsides.
Go out in shop, try to put lawnmower back together.
Wife follows! She is on the phone with your sister! Sister attacks!
i think my younger twin should field this...
which one of us is the queen?!
...such classics as Sim City and Bureaucracy , then you'll love the riveting experience of building your own healthcare system!

if the agency decides against the OSS solution, the letter explaining why would be available to the project maintainers. good feedback.

Every now and then I dream about starting a website and making it popular...
Feh, if it gets too popular you'll just have to make it less popular again.
All these years, and censorware still hasn't gotten better?
All I could think of was the special edition of Redbook for the gestapo set:
Torture getting humdrum? We show you ten quick steps to more productive, and enjoyable convincing!
Better than WHAT? In order to block a site, you have to be smarter than the people that want to see it...
scare / educate their patrons
Don't worry, I get those confused sometimes, too.
No story sullied the first one, so who would notice?
Give the people what they want!
Talented Keanu Reeves (grimacing): I am stuffed inside a coffee shop philosopher's febrile ramblings.
Talented Wachowski #1: Excellent! That's a wrap!
Talented Wachowski #2: What he said.
Laurence Fishburne (as Samuel L. Jackson): I fell down the stairs today. There was one survivor.

run in text mode, use screen to max out your VTs.
if you _HAVE_ to have a GUI, use ratpoison.
use nano-tiny to write your word macros in.
look into embedded systems - there's where the tweaking is going on.
and as a last resort: slow yourself and anyone else looking at the benchmark down. you could try cold, or alcohol, or cold alcohol.
finally! someone else with all-metal fireproof doors for every interior door.
did you get the valu-pak with the shatterproof windows with metal screen in them?
i went for the autoclave dishwasher, myself.

at this point is to say: in the Phillippenes they hand out Penicillin like aspirin, OTC.
It's that sort of cavalier attitude towards broad-spectrum antibiotics that's going to one day give us a plague.
Not that that would be a bad thing, but it isn't going to be pretty.
Maybe it'll take out some of the trolls.
seems like a sign of specialization... the fear that everything takes an expert.
which, for cars, computers, and sewing machines that do embroidery - is not too crazy a gut reaction.

bismal should become an official new word right now.
It's dismal - it's abysmal - it's bismal!
I'll use it every day. To describe my coworkers.
Too many legs.
Not me. I see myself being hunted for sport and getting my head mounted at the robot lodge over the arc-lamp fireplace.
Just to blue-sky here...
What if you used stego on your own streaming media? Two porn feeds later, and you have a fairly secure(?) conference call.
It'd at least slow them down.
Not that it'll happen, but having the challenge be your personal, vouched for PGP sig would be a nice lock in.
You MUST use strong crypto to exchange mail.
Again - not that anyone would think this is cool except people that are probably already doing it...
