Units vary widely. Shop around. Seriously. No two units are the same. I was without a unit for 15 months as I looked around for a troop I liked (I took a long time finding Troop 592, Portland because my family returned to Oregon then, and we weren't sure if we were going to stay in Canby or move again the rest of the way back to Portland).
Seems like the solution to this isn't Time Scout, but rather Boy Scouts or some other extracurriclar activity. One weekend a month, plus a weekly meeting during the school year and a week out of the summer. Joining Troop 592, Portland was one of the best decisions I made when I was younger. Great for the eternally gaming youth, after all, Scouting is a game with a purpose. FPS addict? wehave youcovered. Think of it like the meatspace port of America's Army.
Scouting not your speed? Adults not willing to help out with troop logistics occasionally? Go grab your local equivilent of Computer Bits and find your local gaming groups. Yeah, it's not really reducing hours gamed, but it's getting that all-important social interaction, which is the ultimate goal.
Gaming too much is more of a social issue than a technological one, and one that requires a social solution.
I dunno about anybody else, but I wish everybody would knock it off with the retarded 2k(yourmom) naming scheme for everything. I think the real Y2K bug was that it was supposed to happen 3.5 years ago and people still won't let that fscking buzzword die.
My point is that the BSA still has something of a good reputation left, whereas the Business Software Association never did to start with. The fact that most people associate BSA with the Boy Scouts, and the idea that the Business Software Association is trying to make themselves look like the good guys, is where the confusion comes in. It would not surprise me in the slightest if it turned out they just backcronymed against the Boy Scout's good name.
I pictured Darl McBride holding a gun to a stuffed penguin's head and shouting to the crowd:
"Give me your money or the Penguin gets it!"
What McBride fails to recognize, however, is while he may have the gun to the penguin's head, he's holding the gun backwards. Maybe we should egg SCO on just to watch them shoot themselves by accident.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but SCO used to be Caldera, right? So it seems to me that SCO is the only group that would produce people that are both working on the kernel and have access to SCO code. Seems like this is a case for a private detective to find the employees that did it before suing people...
Why not just download and install Squid and enable authentication? Then just put that sucker out on your DMZ and you have authenticated web browsing to your local network.
Hate to break it to you, but the economy bombed, we're not making money.
2000: Making a respectable $28,000/yr doing outsource tech support for @Home back before collusion by Cox, Comcast and AT&T Broadband put them out of an American presence and financial troubles pushed them out of the Australian and Japanese markets.
2003: I'm a security officer. I'm now living paycheck to paycheck and have been eating at Taco Bell since mid-April because Taco Bell is cheaper than food and I still managed to owe...
Looking around Oregon, I'd say I made off pretty damn well with a paycheck that keeps a roof over my head and usually keeps me fed.
Bike lights (taillights, headmarkers and on some models of high-end headlights, instrument lights) have used LEDs for years. They really conserve on batteries and are quite bright (I can see the glare of my LED taillights on the road behind me in my helmet mirror at night). Most of the cities in northwest Oregon and ODOT have changed to LED arrays for traffic signals, since they don't burn out as often as incandescent, even when being bounced around by a storm (most intersections have traffic lights on overhead stringer lines, not poles, so they can properly position the signals over each lane). TriMet is phasing in LED signals on busses (they hate driving around busses with a burned out left blinker as much as you hate getting stuck behind them that way), and has

The biggie is if you need to backspace over changes in attribute, you might want to doublecheck the raw code to make sure it's gone and not just an empty pair. This really actually applies to all HTML editors, they really only exist to speed things up rather than replace actual knowledge.
Other than that, Amaya just needs some getting used to. Standards exist because the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Avoid Mozilla and Dreamweaver, Amaya is the only WYSIWYG HTML editor that follows the W3C standards. This means that your page will be viewable as you created it in all but the most lossy browsers.
Really? I've used Amaya for years now, and I know HTML. Amaya just does it faster. You really have to try to make Amaya produce garbage code (get crazy with nested tables). About 95% of the time, Amaya only uses what is required by W3C standards.

OK, time to make FreeCraft spread like DeCSS did. Everybody download and install it. Grab the source and burn it on your next archive disk.
Went from Pack 94, Sylmar to Troop 592, Portland.

On the other hand, it was good to see The CBC won 3 Webbies with CBC Radio Three.
Would you like to play a game?
But what the hell's wrong with UT2003? You don't sound like a media-absorbed luser then...

Before the BSA starts talking about hijacking stuff, perhaps they need to talk to these people about infringing on names.
How many other people saw the title of this article and immediately thought, "Oh, no! JonKatz wrote a technical review!"
Man, it just goes from bad to worse for Microsoft today, huh?

No Linux version. Come on, guys, join us in the third millennium already! Linux versions should be obligatory by now!
alt.culture.$STATENAME (where $STATENAME is spelled out, like alt.culture.oregon).
$TLA.general (where $TLA is the largest airport in your area, ie pdx.general for Portland, aus.* is *NOT* Austin, TX but Australia).
Notice how they're targetting portapotties. Guess Microsoft isn't up to the effort of implimenting flushing a toilet.
IANAL, but I doubt that'll stand up. ISPs aren't legally common carriers, you can't consider yourself one and magically make it so.

Anybody else instantly reminded of that Iraqi Minister of Information? Coincidentally, Balmer should probably have warcrimes charges brought against him after he exploded into a greasy, unsightly ball of sweat and started prancing, excited having just learned a new word prior to going on stage.
