Is your life really incomplete if you don't find out what happened on Enterprise or the Sopranos?
TV isn't a given. Its relevance is likely to be transient. Transition it along faster by refusing to watch DRM encumbered broadcasts.
Me Chinese, me play joke, me send ads for erectile disfunction drugs, marital aids, sites with farm animals, septic tank cleaning, unlimited monthly income potential, hot stock tips, offers to meet girls in your area, and tiny little remote control cars to your inbox.
This might hold up if he were called on it. Where I live you're better off not shovelling your walk in winter rather than shovelling it imperfectly. If you let people trip and fall because you didn't shovel it's a natural condition and not on your property (the city ows the sidewalk). If you do shovel and an icy patch develops, you're liable because you created the dagerous conditions.
I shovel and salt to try to make it safer and damn the liability.
The offices open and close but the firms go on. Client-specific offices are a huge part of the new service economy. Those firms employ people who live and spend in the area which affects local businesses ad other firms. If those firms can't service their clients, they go away and that hurts everyone.
I think you'd be very surprised to look at the market for frame relay and point-to-point versus using VPN's to connect offices. Professional service firms, which tend to have many under 50 people offices that open and close in two or threee years often use VPN's exclusively.
You're joking, right? Look at the VPN market and you'll see how many businesses rely on the internet to get communication back and forth to their offices. The headquarters accounting system might not go down, but the branches won't be able to query or update the system in real time.
Actually, you're right. It was 87. My mistake. I know because I supplied Paris metro tickets to the Hitch team and I hadn't ever been to Paris until February that year.
Yeah, and how about free e-mail? Don't put a spam filter on my account. I have the amazing innate ability to ignore ads. I'm sure I won't eventually be buried in ads.
Larry Lessig should use this as an example of how dumb our copyright laws are. As the RIAA and MPAA and most of Congress would have us interpret the law, this is a copyright violation.
Do you need to bind the vote to the voter as such or to a code or PIN the voter would invent on the spot combined with time of day, etc..?
Initials of a judge from each party on the receipt before it's printed (I'm thinking you carry the piece of paper into the booth, put it in the machine and that lights up the screen)would provide at least the same level of authentication as you have now.
There are workarounds for all these problems, I think. We don' thave to surrender to non-verifiable electronic voting.
"an OCR'able or barcode representation of it is just too expensive."
Isn't a punchcard the same cost. Why would barcode be too expensive? I'm pretty sure cheap paper and ink are less expensive than the printed cardstock usually used here.

An appropriate post for the Memorial Day weekend. Imagine the world's largest barbeque.
Don't buy the TV's, don't watch the shows.

It's coming from inside the house!!!

Sparky, this is on topic.

So I guess Project David is then old WINE in new tarballs...

Is that sales tax or lease/use tax? There's a difference. And I assume it varies from state to state.
Honestly, that was the big reason that stopped us from doing the eval. Now, I can probably get the funds approved for the project.
Excellent.
How is that redundant? I posted when there were only 15 posts showing.
No, red means stop. That's for when it loads Windows.

You're specifically why I explained it.
Glad to see that "Hooked on Phonics" course is paying off!
Actually, you're right. It was 87. My mistake. I know because I supplied Paris metro tickets to the Hitch team and I hadn't ever been to Paris until February that year.
Are you sure? It wasn't 1986? I'd left by then, but I assisted the Hitchcock team.
Nope. 1985. Chris strauss headed up the judging and tormented his own Hitchcock team.
I really like the styles on that article for editorial links and sponsored links. Nicely done.
I don't put up with them. I use a hosts file that points most of the douleclick and big ad serving domains to 127.0.0.0

Does that make ANY sense in the real world?
What's the damage if this stuff does get penetrated? Is it worse for the wound than a bullet passing all the way through?

I think that refers to those specific printers. Certainly one could devise a cheap reliable printer to attach to these boxes.
I wouldn't use a thermal printer, to start with.
