mod parent up please. It is amazing how few people understand this concept. It makes perfect sense when you see it this way, it it just never explained. At least, nobody ever explained it to me growing up in the States...
I'd say this sounds about right for me and several of my friends. Price is a detriment, and frankly the convenience of having them all on a media server hooked up to the TV with a decent frontend to navigate it all is worth something too. DVDs on my bookshelf collecting dust, cases of CDs in a storage shed, and an HTPC on the entertainment center being used daily.
You have clearly not been to New Orleans, have you? There is a huge majority of black people, whites are the minority. If you set a camera in front of a Walmart at any time it will likely still look like all black people were shopping/looting/malingering/loitering/shopping/shopping/smoking/walking-past there. It's just the way the racial distribution works there. Adding to that the fact that seemingly a majority of the white folk live in the better neighborhoods like the Garden District [where I lived, which had no water damage, BTW...] and the fact that property is and has been CHEAPER IN THE LOWEST PARTS OF TOWN... go figure... guess who lived in the most affected areas? Hey.. the lower income families!
The water didn't care what color your skin was.
Our computers will individually combine your DNA codes and display an potential image of your offspring alongside each individual's profile image.

Which, I believe is the point here. A revolution against a modern government with a modern military where the revolutionaries didn't "hide among the population" would not last past the first night.
What is the alternative to "hiding among the population"? Declaring that the City of Freetown is for the revolution and anyone who doesn't agree needs to leave? Let's assume they all do leave. In come the jets and it's all over because the revolutionaries are in a convenient bombing pattern. It's suicide UNLESS you have the compassion and support of the population at large to the point that they wold rally behind the group and join the revolution. Either way, the group that initially declared has essentially committed suicide and become martyrs in order to start a revolution.
Otherwise, you live among the people, plot and strike as you can. Even doing so against only military targets, and assuming zero collateral damage and zero civilian lives lost, you are still considered a terrorist for striking the government, they just call you a "domestic terrorist."
Which bring about the conversation of civilian contractors working on military bases... but I've gone on long enough and nobody is still reading this except Big Brother. Hi sigint guys!
Go to iGoogle and paste whichever you see fit into the address bar. I just used it to get mine back to the left-side tabs.
javascript:_dlsetp('v2=1');
(new iGoogle, developer sandbox)
javascript:_dlsetp('v2=0');
(old iGoogle)
Odd. It seems that people are complaining about being forced INTO the left-side tabs... mine reverted FROM that to the previous style a few days ago. Wonder what happened there. Anyone else that had voluntarily gone to the new one get reverted?
Isn't this the say layout they used before going to that lovely interface with the links on the left side? I really liked that one and thought I had borked something to get it to revert back to this, or perhaps they reverted the server when they were working on the big gmail snafu recently sine I noticed the change right after that made news.
A "revert to previous style" link would have been nice, as they did when they rolled out the side-tabbed one. But seriously, it's not the end of the world.
Personally, I think\hope that PDAs and smartphones getting more common will lead to some breakthroughs. My HTC TyTn was pretty decent at handwriting recognition as an input, far better than the old Palm Pilot I had used back in The Day
For the time being though I definitely see it, as you mentioned, as a trained system as current voice recognition apps.
In this particular case [the Census reports] there are so many alternative ways of spelling a lot of names, who is to say "Alyse must be a typo... make it Alice. And here.. Change Stefanie to Stephanie"
In the situation of historical documents where names were less prominent I'd say I like your suggestion though.
Also, several of the older houses here do not have a sub-floor. My ex-g/f's house had wood pannel flooring, but the gaps between the pannels showed the crawlspace below and bare dirt about a two feet down. You may want to look into insulating that, she ruins A/C all day and her elec bill is $200 for a one bedroom shotgun. It's not pretty.
If this is the case it is hardly a fair test. Look at the demographics involved. I'd be willing to wager that the average pr0n purchaser would be more likely to be the same person distributing files online than the average movie purchaser.
The opportunity cost of not hiring the guy is that your competition will. There becomes a point where the person hired may not help you much, but you hire them to guarantee hat they are not helping the competition. That is what parent refers to as the opportunity cost being too high. It is the cost of the market share lost by their advances he helped achieve, etc. Opportunity Cost is a very tricky thing to pin down.
I think they were referring to after-the-disaster deployment of the system to allow emergency services to establish a network without laying cable, etc. Throw a few blimps up, flot them to their locations and in a day or two you have a city-wide network for the rescue services to work off. VoIP and possibly radio repeaters/broadcasters would be a huge benefit for Search and Rescue teams, Police, Fire, etc in a city with significant powerline damage like New Orlans after Katrina, after the Tsunami earlier this year, or any number of the major disasters we've had in recent years.
Faster then rebuilding landlines and temporary enough to put up until the infrastructiure is repaired.
We had to get a dedicated server due to all the traffic, but the Caffeene machine is back up.
I dind't make it and I don't have the time at the moment to read all these messages,m but a few things I noticed:
1) watercooling was considered and may possibly be added
2) I am working on writing an app that could be put in the task scheduler to brew
3) he is already working on CM 2.0 making expresso
well, now that the site is back up come on over and check it out at http://www.pimprig.com (few of us are Black teen ghetto-punks, despite the name;-))

ROFL. I wish I had mod points...

*GASP* A /. story lacking in specifics? Go figure!
The advantage of open source: VoIP for Android: http://www.voipmonitor.net/2008/10/22/iSkoot+Is+First+VoIP+Application+Available+On+The+Android.aspx As for the rest.. welcome to the American cell phone market...
I think many would take a Google Beta over most other companies' final releases...
You really need to get out more. Seriously. This is the 21st century.. get a PDA with vCards like the rest of us...

I'm getting the tabs on top like I had before switching to the left-sided tabs on both TLD's. ideas?

I can't even read people's handwriting, I hardly expect a computer to.

Really? Here I thought OP meant the Northumberland Services For Women http://nsfw.ca/
