Many construction workers and mechanics paint their tools a specific color, so that they can tell who owns each tool very easily. My dad chose florescent hot pink -- he didn't lose too many tools over his career.
Ah, so the drug companies operate on the same principals as a parasitic virus -- the best strategy is to be neither too aggressive nor to timid. Killing the host/patient is bad, as is completely leaving/curing the host/patient.
Yeah, I was going to mention PRML as the main problem. There ARE no 1s and 0s on the disk surface anymore. Instead, the read head receives an analog signal and tries to statistically determine what the LIKELY values are supposed to be.
That number doesn't sound right. That's only 100,000 per year. GM sells like 4 million cars per year. I would think that back in its heyday, they would have been selling close to 1 million big blocks a year. The article says that this 1 plant produced 5 million L18s. I suspect that there were other plants once producing big block engines.
The city of St. Louis charges a 1% tax on people employed within the city, even if they don't live there. This includes a lot of people from the surrounding counties, as well as professional athletes from visiting teams.
Heck, even our plans now to go back to the moon will take longer than the first time we went there. I find that quite remarkable. But it's because we're not willing to spend as much money, and are more risk averse.
Did they control for the economic situation of the subjects? The article does not say that they did. If not, I suspect that's most likely the underlying causation. Wealthier people live longer, because they have better access to higher quality medical treatment, as well as gym memberships, better food, etc. And I'm pretty sure that wealthy people tend to be a little heavier than average, due to the higher availability of food.
When I did a presentation on hard drives 3 years ago, I had already read some things saying that the Colossal Magnetorsestive Effect was the next step in read-write head technology. The Wikipedia page says the effect was discovered in 1993. This new discovery might make it more feasible, but hard drive technology developers already knew that CMR would be a part of the technology going forward.
The reason many people think that the PC is called the "hard drive" is that they learn to store things "on the hard drive". Completely understandable, if they don't have any idea of what is inside the PC.
To be fair, the French military have been historically pretty kick-ass. (For example, the French Foreign Legion.) It's just WWI and WWII where they fell down.
But accepting your fate can also been seen as accepting God's plan. And the pious should be more willing to accept God's plan, especially if they believe that God will take them to heaven.
Today, we have a colorful disaster that isn't even as usable as its predecessor. Developers should have focused on the need for an enterprise desktop that could actually make a dent in MS corporate sales. Instead we got useless eye candy.
Are you referring to Windows Vista or KDE 4? I'm honestly not sure.
I think they should probably go after the Streets Department first. Prostitutes have been using the streets to solicit prostitution for centuries. And I'm almost certain that there are more prostitutes using streets than using Craigslist.
Wait a minute. You mean to tell us that the merchant agreement says that you're required to verify signatures, but prohibited from checking IDs? I'm very curious how you're supposed to verify a signature without checking an ID.
I've been saying this for years. If IBM is the friend of Open Source that they claim, they should open the code to SmartSuite. It could provide much-needed competition to OpenOffice, and maybe even help reduce the significance of Microsoft Office.
Granting a license is basically waiving your rights for the given situation. Copyright normally gives me (nearly) exclusive rights to making copies of the copyrighted work. But I can give a license to allow others to "infringe" those rights of mine. Or to put it another way, a license is used to give exceptions to my rights.

But 2 Wongs could make things right.
The same applies to ordinary citizens. But they're allowed to record us when we're in public.

As a jQuery user, I actually found that comparison by a MooTools developer to be pretty fair.
It's not directly aimed at your particular situation, but I created a list of ways for non-programmers to contribute:
The original list can be found here.

I think the most shocking part of the story is that the lawyers were working pro bono on a class action case -- especially one this big.

That's fine, until you get to "Muhammed" swine flu.
Haiku Fail.

French rifle for sale. Dropped twice. Never fired.

what good is an iPhone if you run out of toilet paper? 3G won't help you there.
Sure it will! Just order some toilet paper online.
