Women's names used to be used for hurricanes that had their origin in a particular location. The first place I ever read this I think said that it applied to north of the equator. The article I found recently on the subject says it was for hurricanes that were plotted on the pacific ocean.
Whatever the case, everyone agrees that in the late seventies the naming scheme was changed to include male names due to charges of sexism.
I think this is part (if not all) of the reason why these places never run any power strips. If only three of the tables in the place have access to power, you can get:
!) people sharing tables that would otherwise not be inclined to, consolidating tables for you,
2) people running on battery only that eventually have to leave if there's no free outlets,
3) No bad rep for having no outlets. I'd be unlikely to go to a coffeeshop with no power outlets. I WOULD go to one where they were a finite resource. It's touch and go if I'll get a coveted powered spot or not, but I'll probably get a coffee nonetheless.
Just my $.02
Minor caveat: I could find no immediate article on your reference, but a bit of searching turned up the "SuperDisk Drive", which does indeed have an article available on wikipedia. The Superdrive was described there as a trademark used by Apple Computer for various disk drive products.
As an option for step 1, may I heartily recommend Alton Brown's Steel Cut Oat recipies. Longer prep time (unless you do the overnight version - linked on same page), but the results are just stellar. They've revived my love of the oatmeal, by tying it to my love of the fat.
As an Indian grad student here in the US, I have found many of my US classmates to be way ahead of majority of my peers back in India when it comes to algorithmic ability.
Hirohito: You are American?! Owner: Yes! Hirohito: Oh! You must have very big penis! Owner: Excuse me?! I was just asking you what you're up to with these toys! Hirohito: Nothing! We are very simple people with very small penis! Mr. Hosek's penis is especially small! Hosek: He he he! So small! Hirohito: We cannot achieve much with so small penis! But, you Americans! Wow! Penis so big! SO BIG PENIS! Owner: Well, I-I guess it is a pretty good size. Hosek: Menasa! Kit`e! Kit`e! (A bunch of Japaneese women enter) This man has a very big penis! (Women applaud while the Toy Store Owner smiles in pride.) Ho, ho! What an enorm-immense penis! Owner: Well, it certainly was nice meeting you folk! I just wanted to bring that little malfunction to your attention! Bye, bye! Hirohio: Goodbye! Thank you for stopping by with your gargantuan penis! Owner: (Still smilling in pride) Hm, Hmmm! (leaves)
From a google cache of a transcript with some members of the IE dev team:
Host: Dave (Microsoft) Q: ali : Will the next release have full CSS 2 and CSS 3 support? A: Hi Ali, It's too early to make any commitments as we concentrate on implementing the features that make most sense to our customers. CSS2 is actually a flawed standard that nobody has full support for. CSS2.1 is currently in draft recommendation to fix this and we hope to improve out support there in the future.
And from the W3C's page on the subject:
CSS 2.1 corrects a few errors in CSS2 (the most important being a new definition of the height/width of absolutely positioned elements, more influence for HTML's "style" attribute and a new calculation of the 'clip' property), and adds a few highly requested features which have already been widely implemented. But most of all CSS 2.1 represents a "snapshot" of CSS usage: it consists of all CSS features that are implemented interoperably at the date of publication of the Recommendation.
So it looks like they are intending at least some form of growth in this direction. They did fix the box model problem with IE 6, so I'm inclined to take this statement at face value.
I've been wavering on my thinking on this point recently. People routinely pay shipping costs for items they purchase over the internet. While this model is akin to paying for someone ELSE's shipping costs, the marginal cost of that extra bandwidth seems small enough that it would be a lesser concern if I really wanted the product, especially if it allows smaller content providers to compete effectively against their larger bretheren, and lower the barrier to entry for the little guy. If it increases competition in the market, and allows me more choice in the end, then I do eventually benefit.
Do you know the last time those numbers were updated? I'm not disagreeing with your arguments; it's just the numbers I've seen from the IRS recently are a bit different. Single individuals making from 29,050 to 70,350 are paying 4K + 25% of earnings above 29,050. See the tax imposed breakdown from the IRS for confirmation, as well as for other brackets and groups.
I doubt they do. I remember reading an article loosely related to this awhile back; someone here had linked to it. The article was a Joel on Software piece about how Microsoft lost the API war, and it talked about, among other things, how web applications were a bane to Microsoft because they could be run without windows. As he put it: "There's no way Microsoft is going to allow DHTML to get any better than it already is: it's just too dangerous to their core business, the rich client."
I'm not sure your statement's entirely true. It requires some extra code, but PNG24's can be properly rendered in IE >= 6. Microsoft article on the subject is located here. I've mocked up a sample usage here.
The fake button has a partially transparent "erasure" section that does seem to blend with the colored box behind it. Note that the sample image does NOT show up in Mozilla, at least on my version. The point is not that it's nice or proper or pleasant, just that it's technically possible.
It's too much like the Sims. Pointless tasks to get simoleans to impress people with house and stuff in it.
What a thing to say. Now I'm too depressed to go to work today.

Sure enough. More than a little eerie.

In a limited sense, you already can.

There was coverage of this on NPR this morning as well.

You got your sig from an HMO brochure, didn't you?
Impressive. Can't wait to see it when they add baby rollers, heavy diggers, and funky bombs.

The funny thing about that is, they're the ones who granted the patent to the W3C to use in the first place.

Well, that depends on if you've been caring for your big, wonderful, high performance brain...
Or, you could just disregard all guilt and pass the blame back up the stack. :)

Look on the bright side - at least you don't owe anyone a baseball encyclopedia.
Don't forget this one. :)

Personally, I think your situation is custom made for a Lindows box. Avoid having to use ghost at all.
