There are quite a few programmers out there that AREN'T Americans, and as such, have no legal reason to follow American laws.
Brother, I'm starting to wish I wasn't an American after we pull a massively boneheaded stunt like this. I say we build one of those floating islands in the equatorial Pacific. Who's with me?
I mean, we've already made great advances in the field of robot boxing with Rockem Sockem Robots. We should finish that before going on to make robot soccer players, and the inevitable artificial riots.
Oh, FWIW, it's arguable that el Presidante is no great friend of the war on drugs; witness the repeat certification of the thoroughly corrupt government of our immediate Southern neighbor, for instance.
Yeah, I have something similar going on with my mom and my grandma. To an outsider it would sound as though I'm incredibly evil and that I don't respect or love them at all, when it's really just a private joke.
'Course I wouldn't swear in front of my mother for all the tea in China. Even though she curses like a sailor I'd get killed for such a thing. Just goes to show it's a rum old world.
I strongly doubt that Jobs has moved past his dark side. From what I know of him, he's always been a jerk of the highest caliber. While his PR presence may be helping Apple, I think that's it's still far more dangerous than it's worth to let him actually *do* anything.
It has nothing to do with being comfortable - it's a matter of color matching. I wish that a good flatscreen would show up that had consistent color, but LCDs don't cut it.
Running with multiple monitors though - that's a great way to go.
Smoke grey is generally used for prototypes. The G3 b/w was seen in purple/grey for a while, but the actual units are blue and white. They're highly unlikely to sell grey iBooks, but it makes them pretty easy to distinguish.
That's not the point. I know there are an ungodly number of IPv6 addresses. But geographic distribution is not the best way of allocating them. One of the reasons that IPv4 is having trouble, despite a large number of addresses, is because back in the day millions of addresses were handed out to nearly anyone. The phone system in the US is having all kinds of problems because of blocks of numbers being assigned in an inefficient fashion, resulting in the geographic coverage of area codes shrinking, new codes being put into place, etc.
Here in the Boston area, we used 617 until just recently. Then it shrank and 781 was introduced to take up the slack. Now both are being split again.
A better distribution method would be a great preventative step from having to roll out IPv16 in thirty years.
Oh sure, I know. That's one of the safety features gained by launching from the Cape. I was thinking of applying this to commercial air travel, which is not always in a sensible direction.
Hey..How good do you think a tech worker *is* at patrollign streets?
Pretty good. First I'd find a house I liked. Then I'd plant some drugs. Then I'd confiscate the house and move in. Obviously the policemen at least are not going about this the wrong way.;)
NH has lots of balls, but they're having a big problem related to their infinitely shitty public education system. And don't go thinking that they don't have taxes, cause they do. I got a kick when I heard about their trying to mooch off of other states in a scam related to the Seabrook Nuclear plant.
Burlington sounds like a bad place to put something like that. 95 gets pretty jammed up around there, and I don't even like to think about 3. If I were building something (not knowing about the various town's reactions/zoning laws) I'd suggest Dedham. It's close to Boston, it's on a slightly better strech of 95, near 93, 1 and 9 (sort of).
I might have said Waltham, but it's pretty full already and Pike traffic is not to be sneezed at.
That's true to some extent, here in Boston. However, the A branch of the Green Line (which ran from Comm. Av. to Watertown Sq. (IIRC) was ripped out some years back. The E branch, which runs south of the rest of the Green Line is probably going to get ripped out sometime in the near future. Extensions to the Orange Line have been a joke for years, and the Silver Line is just glorified buses, not really a subway.
Additionally, unless you live in just the right places, the T is not all that convenient. I wouldn't even bother with public transit to get from Cleveland Circle (where I live) to someplace as close as Brighton Center. Easier to drive it.
What *is* really useful is the commuter rail. Now if only some kind of orbital line could hook up the outer ends of all of the subway lines, and the commuter rail lines. That would be cool.
Oh, and Boston is not a grid. The Back Bay, which is a relatively small part of the town is a grid, but everything else is more or less random. Christ, try to get anywhere in the Financial District.

No. Planned Easy PC flavors are: Tapioca, Cod Liver Oil, Liver and Onions, Tripe and the ever-popular Musli.
Please send the cheese cart around when we're done.

I suspect you haven't read certain works by H.P. Lovecraft....
Yeah. Those lousy Rhode Islanders!
You wouldn't like it. It's got fungus ;)

If you have to use photoshop, you should know better than to use an LCD screen. Go get a desktop G3 with a 21" monitor and save time and money.

Naw, you want _some_ allied troops to win. Russia has not generally been a great place to live if you're Jewish.
I like this idea. So I guess that first, we'll need a sovereign. I nominate myself.
I agree on the nasty way that the govt. grabs for more power by using federal funding as leverage. Awful thing, that.
Sounds to me that that would break down in densely populated areas (if the numbers are distributed more or less evenly).
$500 on red! Cool.
And the scariest part is that the Gameboy, IIRC, runs off of a modified Z80! Holy crapola!
I remember how cool they were when they came out... and GBZelda was actually _very_ good (never played Z64)
