Fuck the taxis... the limos.... bring on mass transit...What's the Problem? Oh no you have competition? Let people make their own decision about how they can best get to their destination.
Mass Transit cannot and will not solve all transportation problems. On the other hand it will allow visitors and locals to have a choice of transportation.
Again if your business can't survive a tech revolution... your business is not fit to survive..... simple as that.
If you want a server... get a server in the ISP... co-locate, whatever, or get a business account. If you make money with the service you WANT to pay for a dedicated connection for business... this way you can WRITE IT OFF as a business expense.. they do have that in Canada right? This way you get better service, a dedicated server, a better connection and 24x7 guarantee and a tax deduction. If you only need it for testing, you don't need an internet connection... ever hear of localhost?
So I'm guilty of exaggeration to make a point... sorry, how long has the conflict gone on? a year and a half 'approximately'. 10,000 divided by a year and a half (547 days) = 18 deaths per day, average... 100 more people die from auto accidents in the US every day. Is that better?
Now lets count how many Iraqis died under Saddam's rule, again as you said the numbers are sketchy but some put it at 20,000 a year, a number derived from the 400,000 bodies found in over 270 mass graves. That's 400,000 divided by 20 years, so it's just an average. He's been in power for 30 years but the first decade includes the Iraq-Iran conflict so that would distort the numbers even higher.
That's why he's on trial for crimes against humanity and genocide. 100,000 Kurds in one execution.
hmmm... I've never liked any of the RSS aggregators because they only allow you to see one subscription at a time or they are cramped and crowded and really don't add much value. First you have to know if a site has a feed then you have to add it through bad interfaces.... and they all use the same old tree view interface with panes that has never worked for me... I just can't deal with the cluttered up interface. I like to scan and load interesting links in the background... what better place to do this than in a browser?
I just don't think the other apps do it right... I went back to My Yahoo and Google News and a few Science news aggregators.
BTW there are tools that work as a menubar item... personally I hate that method, I don't like going to the menubar for anything.. it's a status bar as far as I'm concerned. Every once in a while I'll have to use a menu, very rare. So I'm not really interested in that. I think you will be pleasantly surprised by the Safari RSS implementation.
This movie makes people think about as much as an episode of Seinfeld... sure people talked about Seinfeld at the water cooler all day long, it was a phenomenon... but there was absolutely no thinking involved.
There are pleny of people producing films, books, etc in America that are not mainstream... fortunately or unfortunately they are credible pieces of work with very little sensationalism to push them to the Mainstream news media's attention... hence I would say that Moore's films are targeted at the same exact audience as say Jerry Springer... maybe not what we would like Mainstream to be but Mainstream nonetheless.
I don't hate Moore, I just don't acknowledge him as a useful person... he's an egotistical narcissist who reaps millions off the pain and suffering of others. There are plenty more people just like him in the world... Kevin Ley from Enron is an example, Donald Trump, the guys at Nike... Moore takes the side of accuser but profits just the same as the defendent.
Billions of dollars are being spent to create a Middle East Democracy... the war is over, if there ever was a war... more like a brief skermish with a few ragtag companies of soldiers. All the fighting since then has been with ingrates, power mongers and barbaric terrorist groups... not war, more like civil unrest. More people die in the US from Car Accidents EVERY DAY than have died as a result of the entire conflict in Iraq.
There should be no welfare to privatize in the US, we are a capitalist nation.. get a job. If you can't find a job, get an education... even in California in one of the most expensive areas to live an education only costs $13 per unit. 12 units a year and you are a full time student w/ tax breaks grant money opportunities and discounts all over the place.
Joblessness in the US is not a result of lack of jobs, it's a result of lack of 'high-paying' jobs... people would rather sit around doing nothing than get stuck working in retail, well people who are used to a high standard of living... like myself, my unemployment benefits pay more than a lot of people make working full time, it's not worth it to take a lesser paying job. Now I have to retract my former statement, the only welfare should be for people layed off or fired from a job and it need only be temporary while they a) find a new job or b) re-educate themselves.
I was under the impression that MS wasn't able to make a version of Windows without all the bells and whistels... I guess it's okay now that all of their lawsuits have been settled. So they are guilty of anti-trust and they are liars, this isn't news.
When will the US see a version of Windows that is JUST an Operating System? I wouldn't even mind it if they included a separate disk with 'bundled' but optional software, like a music player, a photo album tool, and maybe some video editing software... heck for the good PCs they could even include some sort of DVD authoring tool.;-p
Would you rather have an ISP do group heuristics, potentially marking email you want as spam, or individual heuristics, forcing you to identify email spam yourself?
It's a trade-off... on the one hand you get much quicker and more compehensive spam detection by using a group level rule but then you have to check your spam folder to see if it incorrectly marked good email as spam and on the other hand you have individual rules which must be generated for each account based on individual opinions.
Neither is perfect.
Bottom line is that you're using a free service, if you don't like it you can move on w/o expense incurred.
Actually this is where Open Source can pay off for small vendors... instead of spending all your time re-coding the wheel.. you can adopt an OS/FS application and charge your customers for installation, configuration, customization and maintenance or you can enable your proprietary solution to utilize OS/FS API calls that will allow you to extend your capabilities without the overhead of writing new code.. for instance it is very popular to write closed source code that hooks into an OS database like PostgreSQL or MySQL instead of using a commercial DB or a flat file DB. Time saved equals money in your pocket... you still need to bill your customer for the integration... but it allows you to manage more customers or payroll fewer employees.
If you look at the opportunities you will see that there are plenty of ways to make money off of Open Source... you just can't re-code the wheel anymore and get paid for it. Boo Hoo...
When they release 1.0 versions they will all be prefixed by "Mozilla". Does that help? They are all in beta release even though they all work perfectly well, the suite hasn't been fully cross-integrated as a 'suite'.
So it will be:
Mozilla Browser Mozilla Mail Mozilla Calendar Mozilla News Mozilla Chat etc.
Of Senators and Congressman who vote yea for this type of legislation? I want to be sure I'm never voting for them and that my friends and relatives are informed.
anyone?

Sounds like the radio thing is your own fault for buying a device which doesn't meet you're ergonomic needs. It's not like the stereo is an essential part of the car that you need to rush out and replace with the first thing you see. Shop around and find one that is in your budget and has the interface you're looking for... they all have the same features now, go for style and functionality.
First buy several acres of grassland, then git a ridin' mower... put your son on it with the blades ridin' high... let him have fun... he'll get the basics of steering, braking, throttle, accelerating, etc. Then take him out in a beat-up mercury on some dirt roads and teach him how to maintain speed while going up and down hills... then a two lane road where he will have to pass slow tractors only when there's a broken yellow... then a four-way stop with no stop signs, then a highway with big ditches on the shoulders to keep you on the road... finally a parking lot near a pancake or waffle shop with a gun shop next door.
Where's the money... seems like you're missing the basic idea, they want to make money. Unfortunately it's a big waste of my time to explain this to you, so.. good luck.
that's funny cause I designed the logo;-p, was their art director and web master for 4 years... they hired a new marketing officer who prefers to work with vendors instead... now I'm "self-employed";-s
hmmmm... according to this Darl McBride may have a claim to Longhorn... hyuck, hyuck... cattle.. reminds me of all the people who listened to SCO FUD...
watch out Bill, you're stepson may come back to kill you off and marry mom.
However they use a proxy server that only allows access beyond their default page to a logged in user. All of the other hotspot services I've encountered do the same... this seems like an ideal situation to me... why aren't WiFi routers set up to operate this way? No encryption lag but the network is still secure.
Yeah... funny story... i got mugged once and pulled a ten dollar bill and two ones out of my front pocket, gave it to the guy and he left. My wallet had over a hundred in it plus check card.
yes, hundreds of thousands of potential candidates are ready to sign up now... in hopes that at least one of them will survive to become the first martian... hmmm makes me think of a 1. 2. 3. Profit scheme...;p

The RSS aggregation tool, they call it a "Personal News Clipping Service" is the most exciting thing about the whole release IMHO.
It's like My Yahoo but without the ads and crap I don't care about. Definitely looking forward to seeing how this is implemented.
This could be really useful.. hopefully it lives up to Apple's history of good UI.

good response though, thanks.
