"We can start making Vancouver's nightlife a little safer," Cameron said.
We can't guarantee it's going to eradicate violence, but at least it's a step in the right direction."
Vancouver police are supportive.
There have been more altercations between drunken clubbers since the city extended drinking hours to 4 a.m. and the department has spent nearly $120,000 for extra police officers to work the late-night patrol since the hours were extended July 4, Constable Sarah Bloor said.
How about closing bars at 2 am? Better that than scanning everyone because of what goes on between 2 and 4 am... or maybe just scan the 2-4 crowd.
The office should be a hang out: a pleasant place to spend time. If you're meeting your friends for dinner after work you should want to meet at the office. As Philip Greenspun bluntly puts it: "Your business success will depend on the extent to which programmers essentially live at your office. For this to be a common choice, your office had better be nicer than the average programmer's home. There are two ways to achieve this result. One is to hire programmers who live in extremely shabby apartments. The other is to create a nice office."
Well, we all know how good Philip Greenspun is at running a business.
The third option is to forget about the office and let people work out of their home...
There's a workaround for this from the FAQ that I've used:

Q: How do I replace notepad under Windows 2000?
A: Go to the folder C:\WinNT\System32\DllCache and erase or rename notepad.exe. Now you can erase or rename notepad.exe in the default locations (C:\WinNT & C:\WinNT\System32). Simply cancel any warnings that pop up.
Some people will have to locate the file in the i386 folder that might be on your system. Try doing a search for Notepad.* in your windows folder (this will also locate Notepad.ex_ that might also need to be renamed).
Note: This folder may be called C:\Windows\System32\DllCache or something else depending on where you installed Windows 2000. Also note that this folder is probably hidden so to open it you can paste the above path into the Run dialog (click Start | Run) or in any Explorer Address bar. Typing in %SystemRoot%\System32\DllCache should locate the folder but if not then check HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon for a value named SFCDllCacheDir (which doesn't exist by default).
Even though Celent's Bezard said most banks would not offer advanced features on their revamped ATMs, machine manufacturers such as NCR envision a future in which the machines not only dispense cash, but also lottery tickets and soft drinks.
I wonder how long it will take for a RDC that tells the ATM to spit out soda?
"They're protecting an archaic industry," said the Grateful Dead's Bob Weir. "They should turn their attention to new models."
The Dead always got it - they made far more money touring than by selling records. Letting fans record concerts and swap tapes created a lot of good will and good publicity.
Dr. Jane Goodall, Ph.D, CBE, Author, Scientific Director of the Gombe Stream Research Centre, Tanzania
Originally scheduled as a speaker, cancelled due to scheduling conflict, now offering video presentation.
Originally, Dr. Jane Goodall had committed to filling this slot, however, the museum was informed last week by Nona Gandelman, the VP/Director of Communications for the Jane Goodall Institute, that Dr. Goodall must meet with high-level officials from the Congo in September in an effort to preserve forest habitat in Africa. "As this is a major focus for the Jane Goodall Institute and because Dr. Goodall's US fall tour schedule is full, we have no option but to cancel her attendance at the symposium," Ms. Gandelman said.
Gee, and pass up a chance to meet with folks who believe in fake non-human primates...

On the other hand, is there really any reason why this couldn't have been written in more understandable terms, yet still be legally binding?
Is this you?
I think that the pertinent section is this:
C. Microsoft shall not restrict by agreement any OEM licensee from exercising any of the following options or alternatives:
...
3. Launching automatically, at the conclusion of the initial boot sequence or subsequent boot sequences, or upon connections to or disconnections from the Internet, any Non-Microsoft Middleware if Microsoft Middleware that provides similar functionality would otherwise be launched automatically at that time, provided that any such Non-Microsoft Middleware displays on the desktop no user interface or a user interface of similar size and shape to the user interface displayed by the corresponding Microsoft Middleware.

Related to this, it might be nice to have instant access to interactive statistics and scoring at during games in real time through a PDA.
Yes, it can run Linux

Metapad is an excellent, free, plain text editor for Windows that can seamlessly replace Notepad. Handy for editing html source code ...
In fact, half the answer was posted on the wall, right next to that big blob of gum.
