I was at an interstate sports carnival and the food provided was not fit for my dog, or any dog or me either. So I lived on gatorade. I liked the yellow, orange or green stuff. The purple or blue stuff was a bit too scary even for me. I also drank a lot of water, but the carbs in the gatorade generally got me through some serious exercise.
I don't think I have consumed a single bottle of it since then (a year ago).
There certainly is a lot more "convenience" food around than there used to be, say 10 years or 20 years ago. But unfortunately I still can't get takeaway food at 11pm on a Wednesday night. Well I could get Maccas, but that's not food.
I tend to organise my mail by who it is from or who I am having the conversation with. If I am having the conversation with several people, I put the email into the folder with the person who started the conversation.
If there is product specific stuff that I want to put in more than one place, I tend to copy it to text or word or whatever format docs and save it into folders.
Now I am entirely dependant on filters to store stuff into the right folder. Usually all that is left in the inbox is spam or new contacts.
There are things for sales or support staff called "contact managers" or "customer resource managers" (CRM), which let you link up documents and mail and even records of phone conversations and reminders in a more intuitive fashion. I've yet to decide which one is best even though I've spent months trying to figure it out. I guess it is too far away from how I work as a programmer (mostly).
There are these ones for example:
Le Grand ACT!
Microsoft have one that they got from Great Plains software
And there is one unix based one that I know of in Finland! Nemein Hmm, having trouble getting it to load but it was there last January. Try looking for Nemein.Net Sales just to prove I'm not imagining it review
Anyway I think some of those things are completely over the top but if your email systems are out of control they may help.
I guess it all depends on whether you thought the article was about the big ornithopters or the micro versions. Perhaps it was a little confused, since it mentioned the "mentor" which is model aeroplane sized and neither a cargo plane or a mini spy bot type thing, and linked to the single seater wing flapper at Toronto Uni.
So I imagine a big one having similar application to helicopters. It would have been nice if there had been a suitable flying thing to help people that were above the fires, out of the twin towers. Or even to lift the fire hoses directly to where they were needed. Of course you'd need something that would be stable in strong hot turbulent winds for that. Not sure if the ornithopter would be the answer.
On the tiny side, it would be nice to send something that was like a flying cockroach or blowfly into collapsed buildings eg after earthquakes, to locate survivors. It would be a good tool for any time you needed to see what was going on but it is either too small or too dangerous to send a person. Perhaps things like car engines, ie get an alternate point of view without having to take the engine apart entirely.
I suspect by the time that we all have personal flying transports, that they will all be equipped with computer aided navigation and collision avoidance systems (and chaos will ensue when the network fails due to DoS, Virus or Power failure). Hmm, ocean going boats often have such devices and they aren't dependant on wi-fi or the grid. They are dependant on sober observers. sigh.
I thought the article referred to the "Mentor" alfoil thing, not the small flapping one-man aeroplane. But I guess that makes me a slashdot rebel because I read the article?
story with pictures
This thing seems to go back to at least July.
The picture looks like something we could build with alfoil from the kitchen, a broken umbrella and a toy aeroplane engine. Maybe we need video too. Anyone got Video?
And just because you can't think of a good use (non military) doesn't mean there isn't one. Mark Twain had trouble imagining what use a telephone would get, and Bill Gates didn't believe in the internet for a long time.
I dunno about you but mine comes out hot. The only way to achieve the effect you describe is to pee into the evaporative air conditioner. And my co-worker only did that once, it has a way of inflicting its own punishment.
But if you read this, you'll find the whole deal is fake, but google insists on giving it legitimacy by listing it. And I actually had an email conversation with them suggesting that was a bad idea but they said they couldn't edit their lists. Bullshit.
I'd be happy. For many things we do it better and cheaper in oz but the USA won't let us bring the product into the USA. Strange how it seems to be different if it is a USA company that has bought out an Australian one. I wonder where the Campbells soup ingrediants come from or if the biscuits (Arnotts here) are in the USA now.
As for the outsourcing programming, Australia does seem to be benefitting a bit. Adelaide has a big EDS shop and a Motorola shop. I think EDS has a problem getting good quality programmers because they've all left for Sydney and London (bigger pay packets). Some do come back when they've saved enough to buy a house in Adelaide (which means they never come back from Sydney).
I know people who have outsourced programming work to India, China, and South Africa - different projects of course. And not been happy with the results of any of them. If you were absolutely sure you required a black box and it would never need changing or tuning then I think you'd be fine, but in applications programming, it never works out that way. Not to say the local programmers can't make a mess of it, but at least it is easier to get them to fix it.
In Australia they decided to allow the company to decide if it paid dividends taxed or untaxed. Ie the company could pay the tax up front (Franking), and pay whats left out to the shareholders, who wouldn't have to pay tax again on that money. There is a really fine distinction about the shareholders being the owners of the income generating asset. Eg if you had a house and rented it out, the house would be your income generating asset. Does the house have to pay tax on the rental income and then you have to pay tax on it again when it gets transferred to you?
The sneaky bit about being an individual shareholder (a person as opposed to another company) is that you are supposed to add the total amount including tax of the dividend to your income, and though you might receive a tax credit for it, the extra income may jump you into a higher tax bracket. We have income separated into "tax brackets", eg your first 20K pays at a low rate, your next 20K at a higher rate and over that at a super ridiculous rate (ie whats the point of working harder to earn more if the govt gets 2/3 of every dollar you earn?).
Yes I made up the brackets and the rates to save looking them up but the concept is there. It doesn't apply to companies here, because all their income is taxed at the same rate (one tax bracket).
I wonder if companies who own shares in the USA have to pay tax on the dividends received when the company that earned the income has already paid tax? I suppose it's like an earning tax and a distribution tax. After all you can't argue that both the company and the shareholder generated the income. Either that or the shareholder should be able to claim the share purchase price as a cost of earning.
I guess it just goes to show that tax rules are not written by logical thinkers, but by creative thinkers who make up their own rules as they go to suit themselves.
on topic: next they'll try to ban product reviews because they interfere with trade.

You tell me how "whilst" differs from "while," and I'll stop calling you a pretentious jackass.
"while" and "whilst:"
"while" can be used as a conjunction or a noun or a verb.
"whilst" only works as a conjunction.
Eg:
I will do that in a little while (ok)
I will do that in a little whilst (using conjuction where a noun should be)
but using both as a conjunction:
I'll submit an article while you write a reply or
I'll submit an article whilst you write a reply both work because the "while" and "whilst" are both being used as conjunction.
In a little while, while you get pedantic, I'll while away some time reading the dictionary.
"whilst" and "whiles" are older forms of the language than "while" and "while". How much I use "whilst" usually depends on what novels I've been reading recently. I fret that I wouldst utter curious phrases like "we must away ere the break of day".
And I'll stop calling you a pretentious kookaburra.

Not everybody likes it. This song gets some airplay on Australian ABC radio, especially Sunday mornings and you can even buy it. Personnally I like Earl Grey. I just can't stand Lady Grey.
EARL GREY by Enda Kenny (from the album "Baker's Dozen")
Is it perfume? Is it tea?
Whatever it is it does nothing for me
Should I drink it? Or dab it on?
Can I swap it for a coffee or has all the water gone?
It is hot, it is wet.
It is eau de toilette
Is it from the House of Lipton or Chanel?
I only want a cup of tea not this stuff you've given me
If you think I'm going to drink it go to
Help me
Someone call a doctor, call a nurse!
Call an ambulance! I'm poisoned
And I think it's getting worse
I only wanted a cup of tea
But I fear that my last mouthful will be the death of me
It is hot, it is wet
It is eau de toilette
To my mind it is more toilette than eau
If you want to spoil your day
Add the oil of Earl Grey
I'm reliably informed it's bergamot....
What a mouthful
Is it perfume? Is it wee?
Whatever it's supposed to be it doesn't taste like tea
Should I drink it or dab it on?
Can I swap it for a coffee or has all the water gone?
It is hot, it is wet
It is eau de toilette
Is it Twinings? Is it Tetley? Let me see
Go ahead make my day
But please don't make me drink Earl Grey
All I want is a proper cup of tea
Looks like they'd need to combine the bionic suit with the exoskeleton. Most elderly wobbly walkers wouldn't have a hope in hell of carrying a backpack like that. They have enough trouble keeping their own weight right side up.
Still once the manufacturers have got rid of the bulky backpack, it would be nice to see exoskeletons replace the battery scooters that are rife in my suburb and local shopping centers.
For instance if you could support a heroin habit while on welfare, and the heroin was clean and dosed right not overdosed (prescription), then you'd have no reason to steal. So fewer addicts would steal.
At least drug habits are the main reason we have thieves in Australia. Not sure about the USA - ie I'm not too sure the social welfare system works reliably.
There are heaps of addictive drugs available on prescription that don't cause major social problems. The worst drug problems are caused by legal drugs eg smoking and alcohol. Although I think making those illegal would be futile too.
Now I just gotta figure out how you can make a prescription dose for gambiling addictions.
Not sure we have car tracking in oz. What my idea would be is to have (apart from the RFID), a gps system and a satellite pager. So when you paged your car, it would send back its lat and long. Rather than continuously transmitting to a monitoring station. Which is nice for taxis but not so good for me.
to get voter initiated referendums and we nearly always vote no "to" change the constitution, unless we get "bipartizan" support ie both our left and right parties support the change. I can't see that happening.
Currently our little dictator is trying to get a constitional reform through that would allow him to make laws and pass them without discussion or review. I don't think he gets it. He doesn't have a majority in our house of review for a reason, and every single state government is currently run by the leftish party (ie the opposite to his party). Thats usually the way it is, if the Libs are in the Fed Govt, then Labor is in the State Govts, and nobody ever has a complete majority in the Fed House of Review (Senate). Its called balance and looking after the little people, something he's forgotten about.
He sure is good at using Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt though. Scare tactics based on absolutely nothing. I don't think they bother with science. Just look at all the WMD they found YKW. Not. Hmm, don't they just shoot the scientists.
I think the USA government would be better if convicted criminals weren't allowed to run it. And I include non-elected support staff in that exclusion. Wasn't Poindexter convicted of defrauding the Government back when the democrats were in, and isn't Dick Chaney in some sort of legal trouble (frequently). And doesn't W' Bush have about 4 years of his life just missing from the Biog's?
I'm not usually a radical but it seems to me that standing up for basic human rights like the right to a fair trial now is a radical thing. WTF is going on in G'Bay?
phrenology
n.
The study of the shape and protuberances of the skull, based on the now discredited belief that they reveal character and mental capacity.
Mind you there are so many frenologists on google, that it seems to have adopted the new spelling.
At least I thought one of the reasons for using Trillian was because you could make it use encryption and stuff.
I tried trillian and I couldn't get it to work. I could get ms messenger to work sometimes but mostly couldn't be stuffed. All the chat/instant messanger things were banned at work, you had to get special permission from the Lan Admin. Something to do with keeping bandwidth use down or stopping time wasting.
Of course the Lan Admin used his to find a girl, and fall in love...
Sigh. The only one I used regularily was ICQ - ironically to solve work problems in my new job.
I dunno how many times I've gone to see a movie based on I like the trailer and walked out, thinking well that movie was ok but nothing like the trailer.
Eg the Hulk trailer pushes big green monster, and lots of action, and the movie was more a drama, and introspective exploration of some poor schmuck who just wanted to be left alone. The opinions of people who have an idea that they're not going for the action, are radically different to people who want lots of green monster smashing things and saving the day.
So theoretically, the movie makers could make the same movie but if they hype it a bit more realistically, then they will not disappoint so many people.
And maybe they could leave a bit more of the lame cgi (die another day) out.

Has anyone noticed that there is a profound difference between a one-person piloted aircraft and the Mentor thing that resembles a broken umbrella/dragon fly dragging a chinese lantern. Or even these things
I thought the article referred to the "Mentor" alfoil thing, not the small flapping one-man aeroplane. But I guess that makes me a slashdot rebel because I read the article?
A picture of what they're aiming for and a video of what they've got I think we're perfectly safe for a while from these things. Of Course Aussies can handle a fly swat or rolled newspaper with ease, so they're not safe from us, or our blue heelers.

Who could easily have installed illegal software and he would not have known.
Especially if he was running stuff like Win95 and Win98.
But total prevention probably would require making a PC with no interface.
It was obviously not his intention to use software that was not paid for. Otherwise why would there be any compliance?
Is that good quality or bad quality? Or roaming unfettered quality?
Maybe the config of that was the problem? Which port does Trillian use? Is that different to ICQ and MSN?
Could it be the server at the other end? ie I chat with someone else that has a similar config.
Why did ICQ work but not Trillian (another IT mystery).
At least I thought one of the reasons for using Trillian was because you could make it use encryption and stuff.
