My girlfriend said she really liked eatwatch, which is a palmos program written by the guy who did the hacker's diet. Is this what you've been using so far?
There sure seem to be graphs of people's weight if you search for eat-watch in google.
The price optimization he referenced has to do with new (i.e. since the 60's) scientific methods and software that determine the optimal price people will pay for something. It's possible that 50 cents or 85 cents or 79 cents might have resulted in higher overall profits. Its also possible that 1.05 or $1.17 would have worked too.
Don't bother with the cables and charging the batteries and all the rest of the hassle.
Just get an mp3 car unit
I bought a Pioneer DEH-7400MP MP3 CD player and I love it. It was about $300 and had free installation. It's a no-brainer to burn a ton of MP3 music onto a CD-R. I usually use fairly large VBR files and I can fit 100 tracks on a CD no sweat. It has an organic EL display with interesting little canned videos, but of more practical importance, it can display the directory name, file name, ID3 track or artist name in ascii.
I bought it about a year ago. Now the units are getting cheaper. Browse through crutchfield because you can easily see what is available and what it costs. Look under:
Car Audio and Video CD, MP3 & DVD Receivers CD/MP3 Receivers
You can probably get something installed in your car for under $200. You might want to double check that the unit you buy shows the id3 information because some don't.
Oh yeah, if your friend likes the music you're playing, you can just give away the CD and burn another one later.
On the other hand, they have good Mac OS X printer driver support. I know HP had terrible drivers for Mac OS X that would hose the OS (I believe they're fixed)
Squid normally runs on a gateway machine and usually has better connectivity internally and externally.
It could connect better and provide the cache benefit both internally and externally. There would be no need to configure your browser to share files, while it might be possible on your proxy. Actually, squid almost does this with it's proxy-to-proxy protocols, which is almost like what adding BitTorrent would do.
Unfortunately, the problem in my case was that the "check engine" light wouldnt' function. And here in California, a functioning "check engine" light is required to pass the emissions test.
But the truck is a '91 model so it's possible they hadn't ironed out bright yellow-led's yet back then.;)
I remember when I first got my powerbook. I loved it, but when I plugged in my scroll-wheel mouse, there was no way to set it up for left-handed use. And I couldn't use it like a one-button mouse because the primary button brought up a context menu. I called up Apple, and they said 3-button mice weren't supported.
So -- incomplete 3-button support broke my 3-button mouse on a mac. Luckily the mouse had mac drivers and I could reverse the buttons. Most mice do not have apple drivers.
But with the drivers, many apps don't support things well. I remember when I first used iMovie it didn't support the scroll wheel (this might have changed with the iLife update). There are lots of 3rd-party apps that don't support mouse scrolling.
Context menus usually work fine. However, I get used to a 3-button mouse - and they when I use my laptop trackpad the apps have different ways of getting these context menus. Some applications will give you a context menu if you click and hold, like the dock. This is the most convenient with the trackpad. But others require you to use the keyboard or the menu system (which is a pain on a laptop). I wish finder would let you do the click and hold trick on a desktop object, but you need control to get the context menu (or navigate with the trackpad to the menubar).
The real problem is that support is kind of spotty without apple behind it 100%. I don't think you can file a bug if the feature isn't supported. Or if a bug gets into the system, it would be low-priority to get fixed. I'd also guess that testing suffers. I've seen many companies with compatibility testing labs - they just buy a bunch of systems with default hardware and the QA people use those systems to test. They would probably test with an apple mouse, not 3rd-party mice. I'd guess (frustrated) developers that use 3rd-party mice would be the most frequent reason features are supported.
I think people should have a realistic view of what not supported means.
I can understand you don't like the evils of someone else serving your ads for you, but are you sure you want to open this can of worms?
I used to work for a company that did 3rd party ad serving, and another division worked on a client-side ad-serving system. We tracked ads and clicks anonymously - there was no matching against real databases.
Anyway, the technology for judging ad performance and optimizing things can be pretty complex. Do you really want to (can you?) write software to glean *meaningful* information from all these web logs and present it to your marketing department in the form required? Do you really want to generate spreadsheets from web logs? Could your system optimize certain ads as soon as the data started to get statistically significant?
I'm not exactly sure what your company has contracted to do, but if your ads are being displayed offsite as well, there could be all kinds of experiments performed to find how well certain audiences respond to ads and you could optimize where you buy banner space.
Some of these third-party tools have merit and can be used without requring ANY internal resources. And they can be turned off when the data is known. You can gather data for a week, then let things sit for a year.
Actually, I wonder if the employees would be happier with an IPO.
I believe Microsoft didn't go public for a long time until internal pressure forced the issue because the employees wanted their stock to be worth something.
Of course, maybe the pressure to "cash out" might be different if you're working at company that primarily does R&D like Google. It would probably be a unique experience, and more so in today's economy.
is parsed by XML::Simple and you can access the elements like this:
$r->{addr}->{name} or
$r->{addr}->{phone}->{mobile};
If you have duplicate keys, you can turn on an option and access them with
$r->{addr}->{0}->{name}-{0} and so forth. I believe there's even an option in the middle of the two.
Slashdot Mirror
And what if the spammers started using donotreply@amazon.com as the source address for their email messages? Would they always get through?

Here's a review that explains more details.
I wonder if there are scales that can transmit your weight back to a computer?
too bad there wasn't a built-in microphone from the start...
My fault. His link is broken but the article is sound.
It should point to this slashdot article which references this fascinating article on setting prices
Read before posting lately? ;)
I think you missed his point completely.

You might not be able to buy just one song...

I wish the bulb that burned out in my truck's dashboard had been an LED to begin with.
It cost $95 to change it.
s/for the music/fine for the music/
I guess if you downloaded mp3's and got caught there would be a $1,000 fine for the clip and a $97,000,000,000 for the music.
Not all Apps and not well.

For a home-entertainment system, this MSI system looks a LOT nicer.
It has a lot of audio stuff built in, and you can even power it on separately from the PC. And it has a remote.
I think this is going to give the shuttle systems a run for the money.

I still need the german translation of this bit so I can add it to my packet filter.
But what would be the new syntax for filtering on the new ipv4 security bit?
Sorry, I've been duped.
Even funnier...
These are REAL usb powered devices:
USB electric blanket
USB hot coffee mug
Maybe we need a duplicate story bit too...

Somebody should mod you up. I needed a snappier connection....
I think the volkswagen is:
- the only roughly meteor-shaped car (round or 1/2 spherical anyway)
- a car (i.e. conjures up images of large and/or dense)
- well known
Actually, Perl and XML are really easy if you use the XML::Simple package.
<addr>
<name>anonymous coward</name>
<phone>
<mobile>555-1212</mobile>
<home>800-555-1212</home>
</phone>
</addr>
is parsed by XML::Simple and you can access the elements like this:
$r->{addr}->{name}
or
$r->{addr}->{phone}->{mobile};
If you have duplicate keys, you can turn on an option and access them with
$r->{addr}->{0}->{name}-{0}
and so forth. I believe there's even an option in the middle of the two.
