Not true at all! If you had heard same the why my project missed its deadline' excuses that I had, you would know that creativity is alive and well in America.
I heard that that scene was based on an event that actually happened to Henry Kissenger when he was teaching a class at Brown University (or Washington University, or somewhere).
When I asked my doctor about this, he said that most adult onset gas is caused by underproduction of the enzyme that breaks down Lactaise. According to him, taking an enzyme suppliment (such as Beano ) takes care of gas in most adults.
This is the equivalent of someone GIVING him the car, FOR FREE, and him saying "how do I get the trunk open?"
Their response is "Figure it out yourself or give us $50 for the manual. We GAVE you the damn car for FREE!"
your analogy = teh sUk.
The key bit of information that makes WebGUI craptacular is that in order to get the information you have to agree to their Terms of Service that forbids you to tell anyone what you learned on their support forum.
Using your analogy, a better response would be give us $50 for the manual, but first sign this agreement that says you won't ever show it to anyone else
I don't see anything wrong with giving away the software and charging for the support, but I think its a little suspect to forbid others to freely converse.
(FWIW, when I'm in public, my cellphone is set to vibrate. No confusion for me.)
I've had a phone for 3 years and keep it set to vibrate nearly all the time. But even after all this time when the damn thing goes off in my pocket my first reaction is "GAH!!! WTF is that!!!"
Fetal umbillical cord blood is rich in stem cells. If you're having a child it's worth looking into( Cord Blood Registry is a good source of information). One interesting thing to note is that stem cells harvested from cord blood can not only be used in the baby that produced them, but sometimes can be used in parents and siblings as well. This may be the case with other stem cells too, but I'm not sure.
You sure about that? I though Sauron 'Silver Tongue' tricked some elven smith into making the rings, then forged the One Ring to dominate them all.

Close.
Ordinary phone lines do just fine with high bandwidth data, if they are shielded properly.
The problem you are experiencing most likely has to do with weathering. As a phone line ages the insulation developes small cracks. When it rains, water seeps into these cracks and the fills gap between the wire and the insulation with water. When it stops raining, the water seeps out again and the line returns to normal.
At least that's what a local phone guy told me a few years ago. Perhaps I shouldn't be so gullible.
Anyone want to guess how long...

The DMCA is a bad law because it requires an affirmative defence in order to create tools for excercising fair use rights.
That is to say: If a developer creates a tool to enable a user to excercise his or her fair use rights, a copyright holder can have the state haul him into court and claim that the tool is actually an illegal circumvention device. The court is then forced to 'read the mind' of the developer to attempt to divine his motivations for creating the tool.
I looked all through the GnuCash web site and located the following
The majority of the GnuCash 1.6.0 dependencies are satisfied by Gnome 1.4. The only ones on top of a standard Gnome 1.4 installation are Guppi, Guile, slib and G-Wrap. You can get RedHat rpms for Gnome 1.4 from the Gnome Packaging Project.
Presumably this means that if you are running Gnome 1.4 and have the additional packages the you should be able to run GnuCash regardless of your OS. As mentioned by another poster, Solaris may be a possibility.
The irony is that one would not expect such a famous spammer to object to receiving spam. One would expect that he would either be indifferent or delighted to receive spam. His annoyance is the source of the irony.
It is not ironic that someone who sends spam receives spam. That is justice.
Rain on your wedding day is not ironic. 10,000 spoons when you need a knife is not ironic. A free ride when you don't need one is not ironic. Those are all examples of bad luck and poor timing, not irony.
But anyway, in my opinion the specifics of the Dimitry case are such that he should not be held culpable because he didn't have enough knowlege over how his software would be sold. You don't seem to agree.
On the contrary! I think Dimitry is getting the shaft. He is the victim of a bad application of a poorly concieved law. I have every hope that had he gone to trial he would have been exonerated. I'm only trying to point out that his arrest was a legitimate action in response to Adobe's allegation the he was a l33t HaX0r and a menace to capitalism.
Also, why in the would the Church be worried about the existence of America? This part is just ridiculous. The Church is interested in saving souls, and a whole new continent would require that an attempt be made to preach the Gospel to them.
You trusting fool. Everyone knows that the Americas were the secret hiding place for the Arc of the Covenant.
I agree with you that direction thought and documentation are essencial, but component reuse is overrated.
In order to facilitate good component reuse the original compuments must be designed at a rather generic level. That's fine for cases where the objects represent simple constructs, but when the objects are to represent complex constructs you start running into the Law of leaky Abstractions, and you end up spending more time debugging side affects than you would have spent writing and testing a custom object.
Right, but he's asking about what happens to the salt after the water has evaporated. It has to go somewhere. If the cloud towers were inland that could be a problem, but...
From the story
rainmaking machines would be positioned about 10 to 20 kilometres off a mountainous coastline
My initial thought was that that the salt particles would just drop back into the water, but...
There are still technical problems to sort out, including controlling the size of the water droplets, and how to make sure that the salty residue falls back into the sea.
Apparently the salt particles can be small enough that the can be borne on the wind. If the wind carried the dust over your farm, that could be a problem (unless you happen to be growing nachos or potato chips).
I agree with most of what you said, except the bit about wind power being the most environmentally friendly source. If you get the chance you should take a look at some of the recent advances in tidal power. Here's a recent slashdot article on it.

How is the primary purpose of a software package determined?
The DMCA is a bad law because it requires an affirmative defence in order to create tools for excercising fair use rights.

Notice to potential adopters: before you look into GNUCash you should know that it is Linux only.
