Because going to the store I usually don't know what I will cook until I get there and see what's fresh. I don't want some random person picking the first piece of produce out of a box. I want the one that's actually ripe. I want to season it with the fresh herbs not the wilted ones. I want to choose the exact cut of meat, not any random old chunk. Is the fish fresh? Not going to touch it if it's not. I've been in Albertsons and safeways and I've found if the food is not packaged mass market stuff then it's usually pretty cheap and nasty. Plus you just don't get that smell of good quality food in front of your computer that you get in a good gourmet market.
And yes I do have the disposable time and am amazed that people run their lives so long with out it.
And don't even get me started with shoes. I practically get blisters just thinking about buying them on-line.
I think Ron Paul's problem is he has very little energy or charisma. Much like Richardson, his message is inviting (one I don't agree with but understand it's draw) but when you hear him speak it's very ho-hum. I don't think starting his campaign run, he had any real intention of winning and is as surprised by his own success as are most people. His biggest problem at this point is his grass roots organization. He, like many before him, has reached the point where to go further he must shed the fanatics and get a top notch campaign staff. This is a very tricky metamorphosis that few are able to pull off. One must be extremely charismatic to shed the grass root fanatics without pissing them off to the point where they all turn against you. His followers are just too positive about him. Anything that good must include at least a hot, naked member of the opposite sex, some technology that you can't afford and a full can of whip cream on top. Doubly so for anything political. People just don't trust a message that is pushed at them with the ferocity and positiveness that Ron Paul fanatics typically pedal. They come off like a nasty cross breeding of a spammer, used car salesman and the apostles of a wacko fringe cult. That has got him to 8-10% but to get more support he needs to get out his message in a form that will appeal to people rather than turn them off.
A jammer does not need to be on all the time to work. Just turn it on when someone is being annoying. They loose signal. try again, loose signal. They go outside thinking they are not getting enough bars. Problem solved.
Not to mention society seemed to get along just fine before the invention of the cell phone. Landlines work for 911 as well, you know. And if it's a pay phone you don't even need money...
First off, watercolor and oil paint typically use the exact same pigments. One water based, one oil based. Watercolor can be used like oil paint, ever heard of gouache? Oil paint can be used like water color by thinning it down with paint thinner or other solvent. The absorption in to the paper is more about application options than how the pigment works.
Inkjet dye vs pigment is similar. Dye works fine on glossy papers with much less absorption as well as backlit and clear films with almost no absorption. Pigment based inks will absorb deeply in to absorbent papers just the same as dye. If it didn't, the print heads would clog.
There are certainly questionable third party inks being sold out there but there are also good third party inks. 3M also does much research on inks and in some cases is selling ink to both the printer manufacturer and the third party ink provider. Exact same ink just different price. As with most technology, research is required when buying third party inks.
You are right that dye generally fades faster than pigment based ink. Typically it's been the choice between bright, saturated colors with dyes and fade resistance with pigment based inks. But as the technology improves, the two come closer and closer. Dye fade times are improving and color is getting better on the pigment inks. High end inkjet printers can use both pigment inks and dyes, though not at the same time. Most have changeable ink systems. Just depends what you are using it for. Currently, use pigment based inks if you want it to last beyond a lifetime as long as it's kept out of direct sunlight...
To really sell this project and get some use out of it beyond being a juicy cash cow for the military industrial complex, they ought to use it to vaporize space trash. There is an amazing amount of it up there. Much of it needs to be tracked because many pieces are large enough to cause damage to anything new that goes up.

"Why is it that what you just said strikes me as a massive rationalization?"
"Don't knock rationalization... I don't know anyone who could get through the day without two or three juicy rationalizations. They're more important than sex."
"Ah, come on. Nothing's more important than sex."
"Oh yeah? Ever gone a week without a rationalization?"
One of the big problems of Africa is the habit of replacing food crops with cash crops. Converting wheat and other grains with coffee, cotton, or anything else that will sell on the open market. I think the original theory (beyond base greed) is the world market for a cash crops is higher per growable acre than food crops. Basic capitalism gone wrong. You plant a cash crop, sell it on the open market and end up making enough money on it to buy the grain you would have grown on the same amount of land and a small profit over that to help you run the country. Looks good on paper but the money usually gets wasted on civil war and general corruption so the cash comes in but usually too little gets spent replacing the food that was supposed to be bought to make the whole thing work.
These days it doesn't matter so much. As you say, stay away from the bottom end of the market. But in the mid nineties SCSI drives generally were better. I use to sputter platters for IBM. The SCSI drive platters all came from either the San Jose or Munich plants. The "deathstar" IDE platters mostly came from Hungary. This was true for most parts in the drive. The consistently better parts flowed to the higher end drives.
Most high end drives have 5 year warranties. Hitachi's ultrastar is 5 years. Maxtor's Atlas and MaXLine is 5 years. Western digital's Raptor is 5 years. Probably many more.
Bittorent only works well if the content is popular. Try to download something old or obscure sometime. 5 megs, one seed and no leachers, and I supposed to wait 10 hours for the download? Now that's silly and wildly inefficient.
With both Acrylic Graphic Design and the Metro document format my life should soon be hell. Publisher and word are bad enough from a printing or reprographics point of view but two new file formats that will not play nice with any other non-microsoft or old-microsoft programs. Will not play nice with rips, platemakers and other specialized equipment and won't easily convert into something that will.
I could be wrong here but so far, Microsoft's history in this area is not good.
Fines too good for him, jails too good for him, Hangings too good for him, burnings too good for him, he should be cut up into little tiny pieces and buried alive!
It very well may have changed, but I think the stereotype comes from lack of orthodontics rather than bad dentistry or lack of hygiene. In the USA if your teeth are even slight out of whack it's braces for you. In England there seems to be more acceptance of the natural state of teeth and not quite the psychotic need to straighten them.
At least that's my theory and it could be wrong or have changed. It's be a bit over a decade since I've traveled to the UK.
An interesting thing about the 2nd amendment is that it does not specifically mention guns or firearms, but "the right to bear arms" Ask your self what are "arms"?
Turns out pretty much everything from swords to tanks. I want my howitzer!
I think a funny outcome of the battle for the right to bear arms is likely to be that we will always have the right to own guns but soon (if not already) guns will go the way of the bow and arrow or sword. Primitive technology. But because the fight has centered so strongly around guns, it will make it easy to keep the constitutional definition limited to certain types of firearms when our military and police forces will have moved far beyond them.
Detroit puts out beautiful, well done, and only sometimes missing an engine concept cars. Then they try to sell you a crappy car that got up on the wrong side of the design bed at the dealership.
I get a large window with the "click here to get the plug in" link:)
Pays to browse with just about everything turned off/not installed.
I think the best defense against this sort of thing is to email the company in the pop-up add telling them you saw the add and because of it you are instigating a 6 month boycott of their product. Company gets enough of those, and they might rethink their adverting methods.
This may be the way of the future. There is quite a bit of research in to dry rock geothermal reservoir engineering. Basicly a hole is drilled down to naturally hot rocks. Water is pumped down at high pressure to fill open joints in the hot rock. A second hole is drilled and the heated water returns for use.
The only real downfall that I see is the xbox live multiplayer service will not connect to PC version servers. I really want one of these FPS to allow multiplay between PC and console versions so the myth that console controllers are even close to keyboard/mouse in FPS will be dismissed once and for all. Plus it would force xbox players to kick down more money for a usb keyboard and mouse (maybe even a hi-res compatible television) to be competitive:)

GTA teaches two really important lessens:
No matter how good a driver you think you are, if you drive recklessly fast your car is going to get banged up and will probably end in a fiery crash.
If you push the law, you can run but in the end the police are going to bust you and usually in a particularly violent manner.

While everyone is keeping a close eye on microsoft, Verisign seems to be gobbling up quite a share of internet related technologies.
True. That's why I said Detroit rather than US auto makers.
