I had a similar experience in San Francisco. An iPod I bought came with a broken FireWire cable (it was a while ago). I figured I'd show it to someone, they'd say "gee, it's broken," I'd be given a fresh cable and head home. Instead I got the same stern explanation that I needed to wait on line for an hour and a half. Yeah right. I sucked it up and just went home angry.
On the other hand, at the Palo Alto store (just a few blocks from Steve's house) I've exchanged entire iPods beyond their no-questions return date because my wife changed her mind about the color, no wait, not an eye batted. The different retail locations really seem to have distinct personalities.
I'm sorry, and blingo is evil how? Because they use some of their ad revenue to buy a few prizes to encourage more eyeballs to generate more ad revenue? Or is it because they don't ask you for any personal info until you win a prize, and then only use it to ship you said prize?
Why was this moderated down? Blingo is a legit site, and they're proof that this prizes-for-eyes models work on some scale. They're not a spam factory, they're not a ponzi scheme, they're not cheats in any way at all. You search, you get results, and occasionally you just might get a movie ticket, or an iPod.
Full disclosure: they're friends of mine, but I have no business interest with them. Just immense respect.
I'm completely addicted to SideTrack, and your g/f would probably like it too. I'm also very happy that my wife doesn't have to think about this kind of thing.

If you read the succeeding posts, you'll find the Apple guys being very forthcoming with information on what changed, how, and why patches didn't make much sense.
If you like pivot tables, you'll love Quantrix. It's a multi-dimensional spreadsheet that picks up the ball that Lotus Improv dropped.

No, sorry, you're wrong.
The semi-naked Drusilla hanging in chains in episode 9 of I, Claudius was not a figure in a documentary.
The topless DeDe Day in Tales of the City was not a figure in a documentary.
To name the first two that pop to mind.
These ain't that. Looking at the videoes, the robot is making its own navigational choices. It snaps a picture of the terrain, you point out an interesting looking rock in that picture, and it finds its way there all on its own.
PS: For those of you interested in the source for the PER project, as with all of our projects in the Toy Robots Initiative, this too will be open-sourced. Check back here in the second week of January 2004 for the complete source code.
Your analogy doesn't work. "Well educated" and "well regulated" are nothing like interchangeable terms. Perhaps if the amendment read "a well armed populace" you would have a point, but it doesn't and you don't.
What flavor of misreading is required to ignore the first thirteen words of the amendmant? Did Jefferson qualify his prose with "A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State" because he was feeling particularly verbose? Did he worry that people wouldn't take him seriously if he didn't use some padding that shaped his meaning in no way?
If the founders simply meant that we should have unfettered access to weapons, everything before the comma is extraneous and misleading. The founders were not idiots, and Jefferson was not an incompetent writer. Every syllable is there for a purpose.
Anyone more knowledgable than I care to compare and contrast this thing and the Treo 600? I know the Treo will have teeming hordes of PalmOS s/w available. Any other important distinctions?

The "smart people" are often, in hindsight, horrifyingly incorrect. Look into the history of eugenics and phrenology at some point.
So turn it off--just like you turned it on. Click Search History, then click Pause. While you're there, delete your history. Ta dah.

Blingo users are not incented (love that word) to mash on ads. They get no prizes for it. Prizes are awarded at search time, not click through time.
There is no reason to suspect the quality of their clicks.
Also, you don't buy ads on blingo. Them's Google ads, friend.
Not affiliated, just a fan and friend.

How was the quality of the 1984 DVD?

No, NeXT shipped a two button mouse.

Let's get this out of the way right now. Please make all your valuable n-button-mouse replies to this post.

Now now now, be fair. We only know that the outgoing attorney general is afraid of breasts. We don't know anything about how he handles genitals.

And the tools, oh the tools. Mmmm...Eclipse yummy.

Then I don't imagine you've actually dealt with very many people.

Why aren't I making robots?
