...then a student should be able to write a program that develops an essay. That way the student isn't cheating too, because they will have created the essay, indirectly.
Time change is a nearly monthly topic on talk-radio in Saskatchewan, where we remain on DST all year long, and so are part of the Mountain Time zone during Winter, and Central Time zone during Summer.
It's an old joke now that we don't change the clocks because we don't like change in this province. Most radio jockeys groan when they hear someone bring up the Time debate. If we did start changing however, either one side of the province would be at an annoying time difference year-round with the neighbouring province, or we'd have to split it in two zones making our 4 largest cities 2 different times. That 2nd route would cause havock.
I wasn't clear or you weren't paying attention. You don't MAKE any CD. You distribute the duplicate recordings at different concerts only online, and with the assistance of downloaders using Bit Torrent, and require them to pay about $1 for the torrent file.
"Usually, there's not enough demand for 200 different recordings of the same song for it to make sense to package and distribute them."
Ah, but with an mp3 or FLAC file set, and a bit torrent system there obviously was enough demand, for them unpackaged, and free. Try charging a $1 for them, and I'd bet they'd make money with having invested nearly almost nothing, or use a volunteer like EZTree to do the "dirty work".
I mean, if you've got the recording anyway, and it'd be just on the shelf, why not put it out there for $1 and see what happens?
If Canadians weren't largely capable of getting American satelite signals on the grey and black markets for the last 2 decades then chances are we could have wound up in a similar pickle where if CTV or CBC or Global didn't pick up a show, we'd simply not be able to see it for months. Although Canadian cable and satellite offer ABC, NBC, and CBS the primary US Networks, and have for decades. Thank goodness for geography.
Anyway, as far as Bit torrent goes, I don't think Australia will be the first country to authorize it's TV stations to go with Bit torrent "broadcasting". I predict it will be a Scandanavian country that will break the mold, and pave the way for TV distribution for the next 5 years before the next best thing comes along.
"Which would you prefer, to jump into bed with a hunk you met at the bar and had some chemistry with, only to find out later that he's a selfish, obsessive, jealous boar who doesn't like to go down, or to jump into bed with someone who is compatible with you in their values and interests and quirks, who shares your likes and dislikes"... and an interest in dying Bluetooth technology:-)
"What prevents a carrier from refusing to provide DSL service to a savvy consumer who wants stand-alone broadband only for VoIP?'"
I think that answers why the FCC has ruled this way, the broadband companies who are also phone providers have successfully lobbied for a law that staves off their demise.
Instead of relying on a screen to visually read the eBook, you already have a built-in private speaker in the earpiece, and could give voice commands to the software to read the next page, resume, go-back, or pause. The only concern then is not to interfere with the phone's ability to take a call, and battery life might be impacted more, but a text-to-speech eBook phone could be the next big thing.
Handsfree would be an asset, as holding the phone up to your ear for that long might be tiring, or if you're stupid enough to drive and use one, cause accidents.
"Behind the scenes at Google" invokes images of clowns and mimes. Is it just me? Imagine all the people in the world who haven't used the Internet, they probably would get the same impression from the phrase too.
"Frankly, though, I don't see how you can talk an astronaut mechanic to ride in a vehicle containing thousands of moving parts built with the lowest costs in mind."
Fame, money, beautiful women/men, thrill. One of those or all might do the trick. And what says it has to be the lowest cost?
It's not even Size that does it, it's more of a desire to be marketed to better than anything else. The bigger stuff is easier to market granted, but marketing is the bottom line. If Bush started driving a Prius, all the rednecks would try it out too, tricking them out for their NASCAR tracks.
Oh give me a break. If you'd heard in 1999 that in 5 years an ordinary citizen would launch safely into space twice within 3 weeks, I bet you'd not have believed it. People living in dream worlds are what makes the world improve. Stop leaching off of them, and start dreaming too.
But seriously this is such a horrible waste. Destroying the world's greatest scientific instrument of our time because it *might* be dangerous to fix it? Life is dangerous, and I'm positive if they made an X-Prize to fix Hubble, it could be done by 2008.
Rather than tarnish the PDF name, they should create the Tracked Document Format or TDF and that way users can distinguish between the two. To make people suspicious of PDF right after versions 5 and 6.0 were found to contain security holes, this will be bad for Adobe.

Heh, 640GB would be enough for me... until 2007 by my calculations.

If there was ever a need for a solar powered home, this is probably it. Geothermal cooling would be essential too.
