I agree, but I also have to say I'm going to be annoyed if they keep dragging it out much longer. I felt a few twinges of it during the movie already. They can only hash out the same things so many times before it gets to be overly paint by numbers.
Traditional libraries are long dead in a pretty significant percentage of the US. I live in a fairly large city, and it's pretty much useless for anything but the level of book one would expect high school students to need. No real database access, no journals, very little in the way of primary sources for anything. It's all novels, magazines, newspapers, "subject X for dummies", and out of date encyclopedias. The wireless access there has been useful at times, but that's about it. You don't get a good library without a public willing to put in the requisite money, and fewer and fewer people are.
In addition to porcupine8's comment, I'd add that the ones which suggest things that are even slightly disturbing to our concept of self identity don't tend to get much press time.
The absolute simplest way is just to replace the front page with a static html file. I think the latest version of wordpress even has some mechanism in place to automate it if needed.
Not that I'm aware of. The few I've heard of all seemed pretty conclusive that it's perfectly OK. It can, however, make someone conscious of a vision problem they'd learned to unconsciously compensate for.
The reality is that, in the current business environment, it is better for your career to be mildly competent but in plain sight that extremely competent but hidden at home.
I strongly disagree. Since I switched to telecommuting, I've moved up far more than most of my former coworkers in the same amount of time. It might hold true for larger companies, but in smaller ones where your contributions are the main thing, the boosts in productivity coming from being untethered can give a huge advantage to the telecommuter. I never really realized just how much time gets wasted from working in an office until I got out of it.
One of the things I'm most excited about, possibly just because it came out of nowhere, is the native tabs on linux. It's close enough to being released that I didn't think there'd be any new features, and then about five days past they appeared after an update. Even thunderbird's gotten a much needed deuglification, those bars looked both out of place and ugly as hell before. They still look a bit odd, but still a million times better than what had been there before.
I really hope they can do something about the stability issues before release. I wouldn't have thought they'd be at a beta level yet from how often I see the system freeze or crash. It happens often enough that I had to toss together a program to kill it, free my profile, and start it up again.
Have you tried the nightly tester tools to force them to install? I've been on it for about three months, and gmail checker's the only one I really have any problems with. Firebug has a couple bugs, but nothing that's a show stopper. Oh, there's also that about:config option that needs to be added to get some of them to install as well. But for the most part the majority seem compatible.
I just wish there was a good way to get full screen with it when compiz is enabled. The stable flash can do pseudo-fullscreen but won't let one use controls in flash, the newest rc works fine in terms of showing controls, but can't do fullscreen.
Seriously. I leave mine open. If I see someone abusing the privilege I'll kick them off, but if someone wants to check google maps real quick then I'm happy to have been of help. There's been a large number of situations in my own past where an open network was of immense help, and I like the idea of being able to return the favor in some sense. I really hate the idea that the default way we're supposed to approach anyone is under the assumption that they're both too stupid to secure their connections, and too selfish to want anything but that.
Not the man show, but it was a good twist on it. The school shown is one of highest ranked private schools in the country, and it's a girls school no less! That's far sadder than some random people on the street showing ignorance of recent history.
Yep, it's old. It goes back to about 2000 or 2001. And the tech behind it shows. Technology's changed a lot since 2000, but the technology behind mylifebits hasn't as far as I'm aware. If microsoft poured some money into it the project could really be something groundbreaking. As it is, a couple thousand dollars would allow someone to implement a higher quality version. You could probably do better even keeping yourself into the triple digits if you're careful.
Have they gotten around to these?

Does it still have a different look and feel on linux compared to windows and osx? Can it run at the same time as minefield yet?
We also shop there at times because there might just not be anything else left. Wallmart killed off all the competition in the area ages ago. I hate shopping there, wish there was something else, but those are the breaks.
You're doing it wrong. Try reading the manual for your BT client. Then read the manual for your firewall or NATing gateway. Then enable the correct inbound ports your client is configured to use.
Done all of that, and torrents still suck for getting recently released shows. It's not uncommon on some private trackers I'm on to get something like 300kbs for a show. The latest episode of *insert popular show* from mininova, however, will seldom get anything more than 20kbs. The 5-10 seeds and 2000 leachers, and the people with self or isp limited uploads kill it.
I've actually used various phones with Web capability. They never work right. They take forever to navigate
That part amazed me as well. It's astonishing how he manages to show his age more and more with every statement, while sliding ever farther into becoming an old man staring at the blinking 12:00 on the VCR. What is it with people in the tech industry and their refusal to admit they just suck with some technology that didn't appear until they were well past the normal learning curve.
Exactly, a lot of people just don't get that this is just a more elaborate version of the same generation gap that's already occurred with the boomers. When a factor shared by a huge mass of a generation is causing them to be excluded from business, someone is going to take advantage of it. Could be the youth themselves, could be businesses which realized that it doesn't make sense to depend on social outcasts to market to the larger majority of the 18-35 demographic. Any company is free to exclude them, but they're shooting themselves in the foot by limiting themselves to spineless twits who get home, close the curtains, and pray that the boss doesn't drive by to see his wife bought a couch which doesn't match the company colors.
In large part I think this is just a case of generation X getting a bit up there in age, but refusing to admit that they're getting out of touch. Every generation eventually becomes the old men whose ideas of culture become laughably conservative to the one after it. Again, it's just proving more difficult this time around because it happens to be a generation whose defining point in many ways was rebellion against society.
You're dead one with the comment about selection. That's why, in the end, the in-store exchange didn't matter to us. It took a surprisingly short time to rent every movie they had there that looked interesting. They hardly ever actually had anything in there that we specifically wanted to watch. It shouldn't surprise me too much, after all they're named "blockbuster". Indi, foreign, low budget, old, obscure, documentaries, just plain weird shit, etc etc aren't what springs to mind when that title comes up. Still pretty disappointing though.
That's my suspicion as well. As much as politicians might snipe at each other from time to time, there's certain things they won't call each other on because it would hurt them as well. Colbert, with actual motivation to call bullshit on any and all bullshit would have jumped on every opportunity to do so. It'd be bad for the republicans, but just as much so for the democrats.

Zaaarrrrdoooozzzzz.
During the daytime. I do a fair amount of traveling, and street sign legibility at night is usually far less accurate than even this method.

Don't forget sliders. Fairly good show that seemed to almost instantly turn to crap when it hit sci-fi.

Google notebook seems to be working fine on my install.

Might have been a bad example. I don't know if 'anyone' knows what the hell sun is about at this point.
