no U.S. news source will mention this at all, just like no U.S. news source mentioned the softwood logging tariff or the canadian who went to a U.S. jail for a month for crossing the border into U.S. by 10 feet at a U.S. gas station with a gun in his car.
if i type "google" start up a browser and go to google
if i type "letter to mom" or the start of a sentence open c:\data\letter_to_mom.txt in word processor
if i type a name listed in my contacts, open the contact and an email message
to use the cliched analogy of a car, i just want to get to my destination - i don't want to fuss with the tire pressure or change the oil first for every trip.
are you limited to certain services by your ISP or do you have access to install and run anything?
is it windows or linux?
will the catalog change often or rarely?
do the owners need to be able to make changes themselves or will they always hire someone to make changes?
do you want it 99% secure or 99.99% secure?
how much traffic do you get, from modem users or broadband users?
do you want something turn-key or would be be comfortable doing the integration yourself between the separate packages for the catalog, the shopping cart, and the payment system?
there is no one-size-fits-all answer for all these different permutations - post more info:)

check out the New York Public Library Desk Reference. from the foreword:
"the 82 branch libraries of the NY public Library answer more than 5 million reference questions each year. "
i didn't realize that you can call up a library and ask them questions - sort of a poor man's google:)

m. night shamalan movies always have a twist that explains the whole movie.
keep reading to find out the twist in Signs
in the sixth sense, the twist was that the main character was actually a ghost
in unbreakable, the twist was that the main characters were actually comic-book type superheroes
in signs, the twist is that the crop circles are caused by the wife who was murdered by a family friend, and she is trying to communicate that back to her husband/son.
i always thought that the way to get accurate data is to make fields *non required* so people don't have to game the form if they don't want to enter the data.
this seems pretty obvious to me, but i guess marketing people aren't known for having a firm grasp of the obvious.
for people new to java who want to write real apps (as opposed to little applets that get served up by web pages), Java Gently is the best book. i say this because i went through this exercise myself and i looked through more than 20 java beginner books. Java Gently was the *only one that had the "big ideas" up front. It was written by a college professor too - not an out-of-work columnist.
there's a web page showing the complete table of contents here and the main site in support of the book including examples and all the exercises here.
just make sure if you buy it you are buying the 3rd printing. the 2nd and first are out of date at this point.
mofo is known (in the North Cali legal community anyway) as a very progressive firm. they go out of their way to hire people of color, women, and handicapped folks, and take on many pro-bono cases that require a large investment. they also take "principle" cases - those cases that can likely result in a beneficial precendent but may not be profitable for the plaintiff.
so it's not surprising to me that they would expand that social-cause reach to technology too, in the legal realm.
sidewalks up north where i grew up are often covered with ice, and if you watch a busy sidewalk you will see people fall (hard) every few minutes. pretty much all of them except a few seniors (who should have been riding in a Rascal anyway) get back up with a sheepish grin and a sore ass.
So why would this stuff be any different? Especially since many surfaces are less painful to fall on than ice. I highly doubt there would be any "broken bones" and people can crawl across any slippery surface if they are careful.

if the email doesn't say Copyright or have the © symbol, along with the year of publication, and the name of the owner of the copyright, it's not protected.

it costs more money to get data than to make code.
it totally depends on your environment.

palladium is on a list of purchases that get watched by the DEA. It's used to make amphetamines in a homemade drug lab.
