Puh-leez. If my company is going to outsource my job, it's not because I won't answer emails at home. In my experience, letting yourself be used and abused on the job isn't worth it in the grand scheme of things.
Yes and yes. MusicMobs, too, but this got started with indie music. Amazon's recommendation service is actually fairly useful but it's not very indie-oriented. CDBaby is a great site but they don't have any music recommendations other than their Editors' Picks, which is so not tailored to my tastes it isn't funny. With my site I want to mix the majors with the indies but it's tough and time-consuming, something the public isn't interested in. They want convenience, baby, and that's what radio spoon feeds them.
Amoeba Music is so big and wonderful that I actually suffer a nervous system overload when I'm there and my brain doesn't work so well. "That's crazy," you say? I have a co-worker that described the exact same thing happening to him.
The problem that I find is that the general public doesn't necessarily want to support Independent Music, because it isn't what they hear on the radio or on MTV.
I run my own new music site and I have to disagree with you. The public is interested in convenience and chasing down indie music on all these sites and wading through the 95% of bands that are crap takes too much time. I do it but it's long, discouraging stretches of annoyance before coming across those gems. The radio or MTV2 is easy and that's what most people want.
Huh? I remember that when AOL unleashed its users onto the Usenet there were howls and whines because of all the newbs. I believe this was still in the days before the green card lawyers...but not too many days before.
Huh? You ship the item, right? Put your promotional material in the package. "Visit our site. 15% off your next order. Same day shipping." Amazon doesn't let you do that?
Don't be silly. Real estate developers are the second lowest form of life. They're followed by radio DJs, people who change lanes without signalling, car subwoofer manufacturers, and the cast of Beverly Hils 90210.

Back when I was scheduling projects we used a loading factor for our estimates. Say after estimates we figured the next release would take 20 days to finish. If our loading factor was 50% (meaning we could only devote 50% of our time to the project due to various emergencies, "things" that pop up, etc.), then the project would be scheduled as taking 40 days to finish. Worked like a charm.
If you know that your team can't devote 100% of their time to the project, don't schedule it as if they can.
I had thought that I would buy a G5 once Tiger came out. However, my 2x450 G4 (bought 4 1/2 years ago) is still working just fine so I couldn't honestly justify it. Who would've thought that being practical would be so satisfying? Works with investing, too;-).
But if you have a child that has been diagnosed with Asperger's, you can work on his social skills in a way you wouldn't need to with a child who doesn't have it.
It's not like chicken pox, where you either have it or you don't. There are degrees. On one end are people with some traits yet they can function well in society (except that small talk at parties is a mystery). On the other end are the people who don't function well in society at all.
I propose that those experiments cannot yet be designed. The proof of evolution is therefore in the future. Unfortunately, the possibility of Creation cannot be excluded by experiment. At least not by any experiment I can imagine.
I propose that experiments proving ID cannot ever be designed because it all comes down to one question: Who is the designer? There is never going to be a scientific experiment that can prove the existence of God, therefore ID is excluded as a valid theory because it can never be proven.
Problem is, TigerDirect's trademarks are all on "tigerdirect"--one word. They haven't even registered the image of a tiger as a trademark. IANAL but their lack of thoroughness is going to bite them in this.

For you, maybe, but not for me.

Ripping on the music collections of others is so high school.

Hey, you stole my subject line!

I tip my hat to you. However, as the uncle of a child who had Tay-Sachs (diagnosed after she was born), I am glad there are "options".
Really I have tried writing clear Perl code, but it's always "not quite there"...
And you blame the language for that? How convenient.
Come on, Out for Justice and Under Siege rocked.
Which States Rights were you referring to?
Presumably, the right to own slaves?
Great. I was hoping to install Tiger this weekend but now my Motorola phone and I are nervous...
I don't let anybody post a URL in my blog's comments. Poof! No more spam.
I read it. Creation should not even be discussed because of the "non-falsifiability".
