That keyboard is definitely going to come in handy. Especially since my thumbs have been "mutated" [slashdot.org] from several years of playing Tetris on my Gameboy.
About two years ago I met some people in the tech dept. at Merrill. Most of them were very aware of the cost savings involved, but were concerned about how well it would integrate in with their trading workstations, which were all SUNs. The software that was run on those workstations was closed-source, and therefore could not be easily ported.
Since that meeting, I learned of two things that happened. One is that Merrill has moved towards Microsoft Windows 2000 for their trading workstations, because software from Instinet, Reuters and Bloomberg is easily available for that platform. The other thing is that SUN has been using strongarm tactics to try and keep Merrill (and probably other companies) buying their hardware.
I don't have any details on what tactics were being employed, but apparently it lead to this switch to Linux.
at the end of WWII and shortly after they used to test nukes in the deserts of the western US, this sometimes would happen near a town and cause a "mini-chernobyl" effect (cancer and birth defects would increase by a crapload). So he does have some idea what he's talking about. Though I do believe Area 51 is an Air Force designation that has nothing to do with what he said.
the solution to the example you are citing is simply that the hill itself is between the student's home and the school ( the school of course would be located at the bottom of the hill on the side direct opposite the house.) So, assuming the climate was cold. It would certainly be possible to walk to school in the snow, uphill both ways.
you are moving though. but the slope is moving counter to your movement. assuming your speed=the speed of the slope, there is no displacement, but you are moving. Remember vectors?
Einstein left Germany well before he developed either of his theories of relativity....
He developed them while working in the patent office in switzerland, and later took a job at Princeton. Had he done this work while in Germany, (assuming also that the Nazis didn't raid his bank account and whatnot) who knows what would have happened.
Actually they bought Netscape for the Netscape.com portal site, which Steve Case had been lusting over for quite some time. They gave all of the software that came with the Netscape deal either to Sun or to the public, through Mozilla, which they proceeded to not use. AOL TimeWarner is a media company with no use for an operating system like Redhat Linux
Or, the grocery stores could get into the mix themselves. Once your shopping list is compiled, you could send it over the internet right to the store, and when you get there, its waiting for you, no bother looking for the stuff you need, just pay, and leave with your twinkies, ho-hos, coffee and whatever else you may have bought... (Of course the store could deliver too, but that might be somewhat problematic if you live too far away)
Using the same kernel everywhere is so much more fair, now you can crash on every platform equally!

Mars was a name coined by the Romans, therefore it is Latin, Latin is the intenational language for naming things in science. SO.mars is not Americocentric.
Excepting any links through Hong Kong or other former European Colonies in China, which are governed under China's "One Country, Two Systems" policy, which was a term they had to agree to to get the European nations to turn their holdings back over to China.
Under this system, the government is the same Communist one as the rest of China, however, socialism is strictly prohibited by international treaty, at risk of war.
So, if you lived in Hong Kong or other ex-colonies, you can recieve your Internet access from a privately owned and operated Internet Service Provider.
The Catholic Church IS a government, silly. Its called the Vatican, (or, alternately the Holy See). It is a Monarchy, ruled by one of Europe's last remaining Absoulte Monarchs, the Pope. They have military, the Swiss Guards. The Pope also bestows titles, Everything from Monsignor to Cardinal for priests, and from Chevalier to Duke for good catholic lay-people. The Vatican has Embassies in every country in the world, primarily Catholic, or otherwise. The Pope has a palace in the Vatican, and a summer Castle outside city limits, which is considered part of the Vatican's territory.
Its a small country ruled by a theological absolute monarchy, but it IS a Government.
That said, who gives a damn, anyway, the Pope wants to let poor Filipinos (and Central Americans, too) to access the internet on the collection-plate dollar (and they have Billions of those dollars) then go ahead, its better than not accessing the internet at all.
PORN IS NOT INFORMATION. IT IS NOT CENSORSHIP TO BLOCK PORN. Its not like they are blocking political views of people. Besides, should we really be surprised that the Catholic Church is trying to force their ideals on people? They've been doing this for 2001 years now.
Now, please tear my arguments apart and moderate me down.
They paid Perot $700million to resign his seat on the board, sign a 5-year(?) non-compete, an agreement not to try to hostile takeover GM and they bought all of his shares.

I hated that book with a passion.
last summer Wawa had rediculously low gas prices, I was getting Premium for the same price as some other stations were selling regular.
I live in Monmouth County, NJ, and I honestly can only think of about 5 wawa locations, but maybe I'm not trying hard enough
AOL-Time Warner is on its deathbed. There are rumors that they are going to spin off AOL...

They have an amazing collection of Solaris servers and a few Windows 2000 servers for MS exchange and similar tasks.

Don't forget Porky's 1 and 2 come on different sides of the same DVD... gotta love it.
I don't know about California, but here in NJ Cingular is definitely not GSM. Voicestream is the only American GSM provider that I know of.
Yeah, trolls should stay where they belong... Under bridges...
