What is it with everyone and their phobia of registering for the nytimes? Use fake information, do it once, and save us all from your "requires sacrifice of first born" comments and useless google caches.
It seems like it's relevant to ask in a privacy related thread, so please share with us all of you who don't register for the nytimes.com silliness, why do you avoid this formality? The cost seems very slight for some of the best journalism (IMHO), especially compared to salon.com which makes you watch click-through ads.
This may sound like flamebait, but take a moment to think about the complaints about the registration vs. the information that the ny times provides, then if you still think i'm a jerk for asking, mod me down.
although these aren't behind the head type earphones, they are both slim and comfortable, and could be worn with the cord going behind the neck. I received a pair as a gift and was impressed by the sound quality.
It will always be easier to kill or kidnap a person than to try and erase portions of their memory. By the time you have someone in some kind of clinical setting you will have already taken as much risk as silencing them some other way. Those people who would be tempted to erase memory probably aren't morally against doing other simpler less expensive physical harm to protect a secret.

That may be true with the linux hd-2000. I don't get any HD channels on my cable, but the MyHD card decodes analog cable, and has no trouble recording from the Comcast digital cable box. If the Direct TV HD box can get digital out of a tuner box, you can probably do it too with a little effort.
I have a Mini-ITX system (1ghz VIA C3), and it works like a charm for my homebrew tivo. Even with a dvd drive and 3.5" hd, it draws less than 50 watts, lower than many laptop PSUs are rated. If you really want to minimize power consumption, consider a low end (500mhz) VIA mobo/cpu combination with a compact flash boot disk and a laptop cd drive. iTuner sells CF to IDE card, and Case Outlet sells beautiful Mini-ITX form factor cases.
That's why you should buy a HDTV pci card now. I have an MIT MyHD MDP-120 which displays and records beautiful full rez HDTV. The drivers are a little sketchy (no linux support:( ) but it has none of these silly broadcast flag limitations.
As much as everyone insists that XP has more holes than swiss cheese, behind a crappy Linksys firewall my two boxes have never had any problems. I'm lazy about patches and tend to ignore them for months but i've never had a virus. Why? because i don't use their crap email client, i have a firewall, and i don't download warez off kazaa.
Computers don't get viruses, users do.

Interesting, because the book has a rather pro-Jewish slant actually.
well by the look of it, the PDF is actually a scan of the original article. I know people flame about deep-linking complaints, but it still seems like we could link to the download page rather than to the file.
or does it seem seriously questionable to make a direct link to a 4MB file from a magazine that relies at least partially on advertising to pay for the bandwidth?
It's one thing to crush the server, but the least we can do is look at some ads while we do it.
Uhhh, no. The Rabbi did not say there was no historical basis for the holiday!! Rather, he explained that the myth of the 8 days of oil that inspired the Menorah/8 nights celebration was concieved some 600 years after the battles. The original feast/8 day celebration was to celebrate a victorious battle and a missed Jewish observance rather than an oil lamp burning for 8 nights
Right, that was the point of my comment. (sorry about the Greek Syrian mix up. Was it the Greeks oppressing in Syria? For some reason Syria popped into my mind) I'm not refuting the existance of the events on which the myth was based, but I am saying that the tradition of the candles and the accompanying shift in myth and moral, with all probability, only goes back to 2ish BCE.
Right, i included that bit so everyone would take my comment in its context, no flame about it.
As far as "_must_ discredit," i'm not so sure about that, but he made no attempt to hide his own selective appreciation of the mythos in Judiaism.

Well, here's my 2c on the topic. Zionism refers simply to returning to The Holy Land (tm), and has been branded as distinctly Jewish the same way anti-semitism refers to being anti-Jewish rather than against the semite race. The current government in Israel is a secular Zionist movement, and some of the first settlements in Palistine were actually Christian Zionists. In 1866 43 families American Mormons (The Church of the Messiah) moved to Palestine to make ready for the "Second Coming of Christ". There were several other Christian Zionist movements, but all of them failed in short order. Many orthadox Jews in the 20s were strongly against Zionism.
I'm not Jewish and I don't pretend to be an expert on the subject. All of the specifics in this post come from a book i've been reading, "War Without End" by Anton La Guardia, a reporter for The Daily Telegraph in the 90s.

No clue about the software limitation, but I learned a little about Chanukah from a Rabbi who visited my highschool Western Religious Cultures class.
Apparently, there is strong evidence that the myth of the eight days was actually developed some 500-800 years after the events of Syrian oppression that began the Chanukah celebration. The Rabbi explained that the current theory (he is a Reform Jew if that makes a difference?) is that some religious celebration was not observed because the group of Jews were in hiding and that after they felt safe to come back into the open, that they celebrated over the course of 8 days rather than just one, and the tradition stuck. The Menorah was adopted as a Rabbinic invention several hundred years later, so perhaps it is intentional (or appropriately coincidental) that it only goes back to 2BCE.
to look. Sure you don't get 3rd party reviews, but the prices are pretty good and you can get all sorts of kiosk and OEM parts. Touch screen technologies are discussed and can be added to any display. uhhh link.
I can't say i know anything about the product you list, but I have used Apple's iChat voice and video conferencing over broadband internet(east coast to west coast) and it works very well. The audio is very clean and well synched, and the video looks pretty good too. Mac only of course so if you have a speedy inexpensive computer rather than my pos ibook you're out of luck (or are very lucky depending on how you spin it).
Yes, except if you had read the abstract, you'd know that he logged onto AOL through his AOL account, not someone elses that was stolen.
Nothing exceptional here. The posters do not need any strange hooks into the article. They only need an uninformed opinion based on the headline. Case closed.
While I have heard of these issues, the battery does not die on all cases. I have a first gen ipod that I got almost two years ago and have noticed perhaps a 10% drop in charge duration. Part of this problem was addressed by a software update a few months back. My ipod had slipped to about 5 hours of battery life and jumped back up to 8-9 hours after the firmware update.
