Not premeditated in the sense that it is still a predictable compulsary crime. I really wonder what data sociology has on the effectiveness of "Scarlet Letters" used against addictions. I highly suspect this is just a case of local lawmakers being assholes.
A week does initially seem odd but I'm guessing it's marketing. Like Tesla Motors, you sell to the McMansion crowd first where it might be good for distinctly less than a week. They can always downsize a unit when production costs are getting recouped.
On the McMansion front, think grounds security without worrying about watching and feeding a generator.
But as which? I think that's the problem -- finding its category.
It was really nice and not so ugly for the time -- especially with Object Desktop. Like a pimped out Cadillac when linux was a jeep and Windows was a Pinto. Since Warp came out nearly a year before Windows 95, it could be argued that it was the coolest desktop around for at least that year. And the graphical way each app could be tuned to run at maximum performance _individually_ was very nice.
But it was a bitch to install as a home one-off. Closer to a 1995 linux than Windows. Nonetheless, it was my home desktop for several years, including my first year with DSL. Still have a non-networked boot on qemu to play Galactic Civilizations the way it was originally conceived.
Big, loud, shiny and dangerous. Had the chance to at least ride in a well-off classmate's orange Hemi-Cuda back in the day when smoking was in and seat belts weren't.
Still have a Bonneville in name only as the back-up car. Pathetic. Gas mileage is too good for cash-for-clunkers.
Remember, for schools? Thought I read that it has been ignored.
Basically, we can predict this will be an "interesting" year for Microsoft Eastern European Sales. Hungary will get a good deal on next year's contract.
In the process of reading the Backyard Astronomer's Guide, which I've been led to believe is a recognized beginner's bible. They address that in a panel: "What's the best telescope for my child...Don't buy a telescope at all." and "If they can't point to Saturn, how will they aim a telescope at it?"
In other words, successful use of a telescope not only requires that the telescope be good quality but that the user is in the process of acquiring a body of knowledge that is rather steep for a child unless they are a savant already motivated in the area. They are also unlikely to have realistic expectations. Photographs will have led them to believe that planets should look _much_ larger and nebula shouldn't just be black and white.
Sky charts and good binoculars could be an opportunity for family time building a foundation for learning the sky. Good binoculars, particularly coupled with a tripod, will discern the Galilean moons and a fair number of deep sky objects. They recommend that a person could pick up a pair of Celestron Outland 8x42 binoculars for as little as $100.
Why are we even having this perverted discussion about what First World countries are doing? The lobbyists our congressmen work for will never listen to arguments about common good.
Ah, yeah. Electricity _and_ phone service. Rural electrification was before my time but I can really, really vaguely remember one of the family farmers saying he had to take some time off that day to help with some broken phone lines for the coop. If corporations had had their way, farmers would still be using kerosene at night and reading their kids bedtime stories for entertainment. [Well, it wasn't _all_ bad.]
Really, it sounds like your best social engineering compromise. Your tool of a boss can't complain that it's music you are sitting around enjoying, and it will take you part way toward better concentration.
Take a look at a map of North America, we share a huge boarder.
Exactly. That's why we have to get the Predator drones flying as soon as possible. Can't have you people coming down here for our great job market and health care. Oh, wait....
Yeah, it's hard to believe here in the midwest that the borders can't be crossed at will. I swear the church school my parents sent me off to when I was about 12, the capstone experience was like a six mile ONE-WAY forced march that ended in a dirt road that crossed into Canada and came up on a tourist trap. Weird. Sneaking into Canada on foot as a church-sanctioned childhood memory to buy maple candy and little flags.
Me too. I miss the good old days. In spirit, most of my interactions on the Canadian side were along the lines of "Party on, Dude! Don't break anything while you're visiting, eh? Oh, and sorry to waste your time but I have to ask you these three questions." In contrast, I know a dual citizen Aussie/Brit living in the U.S. who swears there isn't anyone more stone cold psycho that a first world person is likely to encounter than a U.S. border agent. My wife and I sat around the station once while they took an hour to do the one-step-short-of-getting-out-the-wrenches car inspection.
Anybody know the absolute magnification? These objects are really close, but small. Whatever, I suppose. It would surely still be weird to see them track across the sky live.
Even a sudden jump of 10 years to human lifespan would cause some social disruption. 20 years or more and the ground starts to shift under our social institutions.
Yup. _Hasn't_ been a positive disruption. The majority of the world _has_ seen an extension of _average_ lifespan of 10-20 years in the last half century. Hasn't caused the species to _act_ with _adequate_ environmental awareness to balance that population increase. The guy who wrote the Population Bomb around '70 had it right. He just didn't count on the increased efficiency of corporate agribusiness and fishing to scrape the planet bare for a few decades until that barrenness becomes fulfilled.
I say we take our resveratrol in private and quit promoting it. A moral dilemma? Yeah, well.... Class and medicine. Biogenetics is the moral Frankenstein of the 21st century.
Indeed, they _are_ doing everything they can to make the consumables more expensive. Smaller and smaller toner cartridges. Doubtful they'll be able to make them as expensive as ink cartridges but I'm sure they brainstorm the idea regularly.
I'm still nursing along an HP1100 on the home Hawking server for large (and slow) book-sized B&W printing because the 3000 pp cartridge is easy to recharge at least once reliably which comes out to a really nice cents/page ratio.
No problem here with MythDora. But somewhere in the Debian Squeeze journey I've acquired an audio drop out or conflict that occurs regularly and periodically. I would suggest you and I have a Debian/Ubuntu problem, not a MythTV problem.
Call yourself by your functional role: programmer, developer, sys admin, whatever. and, yeah, I suppose that can end up getting hyphenated. My wife spent a decade or so building web sites but these days she mostly does customer service for the company's IBOs helping them set up their web sites. She's still considered "in IT" because she's in the IT department but she's shifted to calling herself a "relations" person.
Sounds like they don't think they are done yet, but it would hysterical to see him use this ploy if he is free on bail and could get to Italy. _That_ would be a drama about hypocrisy.
Just because his actions related to 4th amendment are like Bush's, doesn't mean it's a one-party system all of a sudden. Take a look at healthcare and foreign policy.....
umm hummm. Public option, Iraq, Afghanistan, employment and the trade imbalance are working out _so_ much better than under Bush.
[And you don't "protect" the "country" by continuing policies that destroy what it stands for. Then, it's a _different_ country.]
But is it dependable? Town I grew up in had first choice a hundred years ago of a community college or a soldiers retirement home. They took the retirement home. The community college has since closed in that town but there are always more soldiers and they need liquor as much as students.

AKA fuel engineer Bill Froog. 30 years with Crohn's. Sucks.
OTA is even better but cable is still awfully good.
Oh, boy! I smell an opening for ./'s weekly debate on the merits of MythTV!!

Like CDs. They are _so_ much more expensive to produce than vinyl.
Which is to say, bad luck for the LCD manufacturers. The music industry did and does continue to get away with that scam.
Anybody know the absolute magnification? These objects are really close, but small. Whatever, I suppose. It would surely still be weird to see them track across the sky live.
For $30 I'll run the command-line random number generator I found on the web and send you a 60 digit number.
If you act today, that's only 50 cents a number!

It's like the newspapers were the last to notice that they were dying. Which _so_ highlights the underlying problem.

Right now, it's a squid from Strange Days, which won't have as happy connotations for everyone as a StarTrek communicator.
