I know that Clinton hate is big on the internet, but she may actually be the best democratic candidate. Her health care plan is miles ahead of Obama (see Krugman) and she won both California and New York yesterday, which matters a lot for the general election. My own opinion about Obama is that Bill was right, he is a fairy tale. People don't seem to support him because of issues or anything like that, they support him because he's the magical black guy candidate. It's almost straight out of Shawshank Redemption or the Shining. Sure, he distinguishes himself by being out front on the Iraq War, but Clinton has a pretty good record on Iraq for the past several years, which does matter.
Given that I am running Vista on three machines and not experiencing those problems, your problem is likely hardware or drivers. Run memtest on the machine to check for bad memory, and try to find out if other people are having the driver problems.
Fake Steve has a write-up on this (of course). If the phones have really been sold to the public, and aren't missing because of inflated numbers or internal sales, then this has really got to be hurting the bottom line. I believe that the phone contract subsidizes the hardware, and if people buy phones without contracts, Apple is losing money on each sale. 1.7 million phones winds up being a lot of money. The amount that each phone is subsidized is unknown, of course.
Okay, after being forced to dive into the sources by lousy reporting, here is the story:
Christopher Blizzard has posted to his blog that Wayan Vota, a main writer for OLPC news is the director of Geekcorps. That Wayan Vota writes for OLPC news is not a secret (his name is on every post). And a Google search for "Wayan Vota" turns up the Geekcorps result as its third hit.
Now, on Geekcorps' website, of one their technology partners is listed as Intel.
I don't know about you, but that's enough to convince me that the black helicopters are involved! What a conspiracy.
BTW, is this the Digg effect? I notice more and more looney conspiracy stories over there all the time. Maybe it's spreading.
I've done a lot of C++ coding. Designed several PHP websites. I've had to maintain a good amount of Perl code. My Ruby experience is mainly just playing around.
Recently, my girlfriend got me started on writing a book recommendation website for her. I had heard a lot of things about Ruby on Rails, so I decided to buy a book and give it a try. I like the AJAX integration. I've never used javascript, and it was easy to jump right into that. The database integration is also neat -- it handles a lot of the grunt work for me.
More than anything I'm worried about speed. Like I said at the beginning, I come from a strong C++ background. The philosophy there is basically do things at a high level, but the speed should be there if you need it. And yes, I've needed it at various, often unexpected, times in my career.
I'm also a little worried about reliable APIs. The RoR team seems to have a habit of breaking things with new releases. Since web security depends on updates, leaving things unpatched doesn't strike me as a wonderful solution.
But hey, this is just a play website I'm building. I'm having fun, and I guess I'll find out whether the framework lives up to expectations or is more trouble than it's worth.
No, that wasn't exactly what you meant. If your loan gets bought, even at a bargain, you still owe exactly the same amount of money. And stop with the crappy font. If you really need the attention, start a blog.
The article seems to imply that the best voting system is the one that is most democratic. Is that really proven? Will Western-style voting systems really bring about worse governments than other systems? There are almost certainly places where a benevolent dictator would be (or is) better than a popular government.
There isn't really much difference between the life of the average person in Britain, Canada, and the U.S., despite each nation's hugely different history. It seems likely that culture and genes have as much if not more to do with how good your government is than the particular system you use.
I've always hoped that Google would make this an option with gmail. Encrypt all data stored on their servers, add encryption on sending, and they'd have a wonder application. Not that Google (owner of Doubleclick) makes any money from user privacy, of course.
I still don't buy the argument that linking against something that is built to be linked against makes your product a derived work under copyright law. I know that this is the FSF's position's and Stallman's, but I don't know if it's ever going to stand up when tested.
You are under the impression that malaria is an instant death-sentence. That is not so. Some of the malaria resistance mechanisms (g6pd, etc.) work by preventing malaria from getting to a stage where it kills you (at least long enough for you to reproduce).
It's not specific blood-bourne pathogens, it's blood-bourne pathogens in general. We have lots of complicated mechanisms that have developed over millions of years of evolution that provide a lot of protection.
And yes, there are a number of genes that code for malaria resistance in human beings; they exist wherever malaria is common. The most well known (and most common?) is the sickle cell gene. But there are a number of other mechanisms that have evolved independently that protect people from malaria. If your ancestors had a lot of trouble with malaria, you are probably much more resistant to it than someone whose ancestors came from Norway.
Yes, there is some way to spoof a MAC address. In Linux you can do it with a simple ifconfig command. In Windows you have to edit the registry.
In order to find out the MAC address of another computer across wireless, you just have to snoop on the packets (use wireshark). The MAC address is right there (otherwise how would the router find it out?)
Now if everything is encrypted with a scheme that isn't broken (WPA not WEP), then snooping becomes impossible. But if you are using WPA already, MAC filtering simply adds an unneccessary layer of (false) security.
It's not like this was limited to one region of the globe. If it were culture, you'd see pockets of high-performing blacks all over the world. You don't.
Absolutely right on the skin color thing though. The genes that code for skin color are extremely unlikely to have anything to do with the brain genes that do cause most of the observed intelligence differences between populations. Check out Lahn's papers on ASPM and Microcephalin variants in Science. Also the recent Harpending PNAS paper on accelerated human evolution.
Good god, but you'd have to really be a moron to think that the genes that code for skin color are the same genes that code for the other differences between the races. You might not believe this, but some people are even ignorant enough about genetics to talk about race and skin color being the same thing. It makes you feel sorry for their biology teachers in high school, who had to try (and fail) to teach those idiots. The basics of population mechanics and gene flow aren't even as hard as calculus.
It might help if young black men stopped committing crime at 10x the national average. I'm just saying. (Don't worry, most of it is black on black, which is also why blacks are so much more likely to get murdered themselves. Unless that's "oversampling" too?)
I am somewhat curious as to what part of the country you live in to believe that minorities are "oversampled as criminal suspects on the nightly TV news." I take it that you've never come across the results of the FBI victim surveys?
Good god, but some people really let the rose tint fog up their glasses.
It would be extremely simple. I've seen at least one do-it-yourself mod for the Sony Reader. The trick is to mount an LCD light on the frame (with its own battery if you feel like it), that shines down along the screen.
I own the original Sony Reader. If you mostly download your own books, then the new (PRS-505) Sony Reader is better than the Kindle. The Amazon ebook store is the biggest around, but it's still nothing compared to what is available in print. In fact, it's nothing compared to what's available on IRC.
The best ebook reader around, however, is the Ebookwise 1150. The LCD screen doesn't have great resolution, but it has instant page-flip. The price can't be beat. The back-lighting is wonderful for night reading.
If I were Amazon, I would have released a cheap reader to go along with my expensive reader. Something like the 1150, with just one or two modern improvements (USB file transfer).
In most Linux systems, you will need root privileges to use the package management system and install programs. If you want to just run binaries, you can do that in Vista as a limited user just like you can in Linux.

Whoa, accusing me of racism because I disagree about your candidate. Fuck you. You really prove that the Obama candidacy has nothing to do with race.
I know that Clinton hate is big on the internet, but she may actually be the best democratic candidate.

Think how far tigers have advanced in the last 80 years!

If the blood type were AB to begin with, it could probably handle a liver from A, B or O.

Your post is inaccurate. You only skimmed the KB article, and missed paragraph 4 under the "CAUSE" heading.
Windows 32-bit operating systems really do not play well with more than 3Gb of memory. Check out what Microsoft says about it.

Who is claimed that Vista is an appropriate server system?
In most Linux systems, you will need root privileges to use the package management system and install programs. If you want to just run binaries, you can do that in Vista as a limited user just like you can in Linux.
