I agree 100%. My policy is no one allowed to touch the server admin stuff for Apache as every time the server admin app is open and "Web" is selected it will f'ing re-write every vhost file i have and re-order and re-number them.
WTF.
Apple is awful for a server environment in anything other than a SOHO setting.
I found "A lonely place to Die" to be pretty well acted, Pioneer One seems like a good story, but the acting was too bad for me to watch more than 15 mins of it, and I really wanted to watch the whole thing.
I donated to "A Lonely Place" because I found it so good and appreciated the method of distribution.
I wish them all good luck and really appreciate their efforts.
Well you are mistaken, when a truck is passing you and they have cleared the front of your vehicle, flashing your lights on and off once means they have cleared the front of your vehicle and it is ok for them to move over to the right in front of you.
Then once they have completed their lane change they will often flash their running lights to say thank you for letting them know it was clear.
Luckily for you, we often ignore any light "signal" from civilians.
I am afraid have to call bs on this one. He might very well have been able to look at the stars and get the direction they needed to go, but he sure as heck couldn't tell where he was with any great resolution.
People spent centuries trying to find a way to use the sky to locate themselves longitudinally and failed for the most part. At best even with the proper instruments and a table of star positions it took hours and had a +/- of 50 miles.

That theory has been pretty widely discredited. The wikipedia page provides links to peer reviewed studies that show it really has no effect on the major crime rates.
So this time he didn't spell it out, but it's not like he is claiming this idea is "his"
I think he just agrees and feels it is basically a fact in the culture today.
Tim first wrote that idea, that I am aware of, back in 2002 so after 8 years or so, I think it might be fair to say that it has become fact or reality to many of us.
I'll have to think about this. I don't really go out much anyway since I work from home and when I do go out, I like to be cut off from work at all costs.
For anything that is burning down people can call me on my cell phone, and even that I have been leaving home if it is seriously after hours, it will just have to burn for the few hours I'm not available, I am not responsible for people's lives so I feel like I can do that.
I have never seen one, but it is just frickin' email right?
I mean ya, it's cool you can get it wireless and send email wirelessly, but it is still email.
I think there is something more to this, some emptyness in people's lives that make them need to get some sort of external validation from people going on here. Like those sad folks that live in chat rooms hoping someone will like them. Or is it a work addiction because it is work related emails they are sending/receiving?
I am not trying to be critical, I am really just trying to understand why people get addicted to email or IM basically, which is what I think these things are, unless I am missing something never having seen one.
I personally love to get away from my email at any cost, while I don't like to be disconnected from the internet for too long, it isn't because of the email/IM, it is because I like reading the news and such and feel out of touch with current events if I don't spend at least a few hours everyday online reading.
Let me know if I am totally missing what these things are besides email machines.
I just want to say thank you publicly, you run a service that has helped out many folks, myself included. And a reminder, EveryDNS.net runs on donations. EveryDNS Donations
Drought causes many western ranchers to significantly reduce herd size as the feeding/grazing/watering becomes cost prohibitive. If you consider cows to be a significant source of methane of course.
Shadowbane has a good number of the ideas he presents.
Shadowbane has cities and empires that rise and fall, server wars, people driven politics. No safe areas, you are always in danger of being killed, that really makes guilds, nations, alliances, territory claims really matter.
When I tried WoW, all I could do was laugh.
Shadowbane is an amazing game because the players make things matter, not the programmers.
I don't play anymore because after 18 months it had taken over my real life, but it was the best 18 months of gaming I have ever had and I have been playing MMORPGS since my BBS and MUD days.
Something I waited to see if it got mentioned last time around but I never saw it come up was this:
If there is an existing infrastructure for education, buildings, teachers, books, pencils, paper, etc. then it might make more sense to focus on those traditional things rather than blindly say that computers in the classroom are a good thing and throw money at them.
However, the target for these $100 laptops are places where there is no infrastructure, no books, no classrooms, nothing. Now when starting from scratch like that I think you get more benefit from every child having a laptop right off the bat than from trying to build up the more traditional type of educational system like we have in more developed contries.
It is sort of like saying that countries should have to build out traditional analog phone line systems rather than start out with cell phone systems which are so much less physical infrastructure intensive. That doesn't make sense, why force them to build the type of thing we are moving away from just for the sake of making them do it they way we did.
Also, I haven't heard anyone mention what I read was one of the more off beat benefits of the $100 laptops:
The provided light for the whole hut at night. I am not joking, when asking for feed back from the parents of children who were testing the idea, the parents said they thought it was great because it was by far the brightest light they had at night.

Yes, what you said, exactly.
I hope your comment gets modded up.
Thank you both very much, I really appreciate it.

You need to update your talking points. Bedbugs were either in the process or already resistant to DDT in many areas.

Oh he's on second.
As I recall the towers are the decision makers when it comes to what cell tower your phone connects to, not the phone.

I have found using Ghostery added on to FireFox has cut down on a lot of this sort of cross site tracking for me.

Webmin is open and extensible, if you really need a control panel of some sort, I can't see why you would use anything else.
http://www.webmin.com/
It already controls many many more things than any of these so called control panels.
The 3rd party modules are pleantiful as well.

At least try Guild Wars, no monthly fee and dramatically reduced requirements for re-rolling characters.
Those two mix well with me.

SEO is copy that is written to do nothing but passibly weave some keywords into a passage ostensibly about some subject.
Search on elance for copy writers. It's nothing but offers for people to write 20 500 word 'articles' about a subject for 100 bucks.
I don't remember if they supply you with the keywords to include in your copy or not. That might be what makes a good SEO writer v. a bad SEO writer.
SEO means 'Search Engine Optimized' which means 'Generic pablum that has all the important keywords a few times in it.'
