Pills actually can be quite complex and expensive to make. The chemical components are often hard to synthesize or isolate, and can take many different processes to get to the desired product. If that weren't the case, aged brandy would cost as much as water. I mean, they're both liquids, right?
That's why a flat-rate fee makes sense, though. There are costs for maintenance, but not incremental costs. More data doesn't cost them anything more. So a flat fee to give them a profit and provide for maintenance and upgrades. Any capping or per-unit pricing is simply a cash grab by a monopoly.
Some do. Actually, some of them even come with these nifty "thermostats" where you can have them come on only when it gets too hot. And if you look even more, you can find a thermostat coupled with a clock so you can set it to different temperatures at different times! Technology really is amazing.
If you have a 64bit version of Linux, get the new Flash 10 beta from labs.adobe.com It's much better, uses less CPU and has much fewer bugs than Flash 9.
The only problem with those neighborhoods is that they cram the houses on top of each other to make more money off the same amount of land. I mean, you don't even have to use binoculars to be a peeping tom...
That act simply guarantees that people won't get the asinine rewards that are common in the courts today. It's more of a "You can't sue, but we will insure you against any injuries" thing. So it's not quite like the public is being hung out to dry, as your post implies.
Are you sure they need a warrant? Last I heard, both the current and previous administrations have held that they just need to think about thinking you're a "terrist" and they can do whatever they want.
Korea: *85,020 sq mi, ~72 million people, 850.7 people/sq mi
USA: 3,794,066 sq mi, ~306 million people, 80 people/sq mi.
That's an order of magnitude difference in population density. There have to be significant design differences between the two. Same reason broadband rollout is different in the US. We have to run around 10x the amount of physical cable per person to get them online as Korea would have to due to the population density differences. The only thing you should be disappointed in is your logic.
Same here. It's amazing how many people will wait for the elevator just to get to the second floor of this building.
Personally, I don't ride elevators unless I'm going more than 3 or 4 floors, or if I can't find the stairs. Lots of buildings hide the damn stairwells quite well...
Comcast isn't bad when you have another provider offering similar service. They're certainly not great, but Comcast here in Denver is definitely tolerable.
You need to beat your incompetent IT department. If they're using Deep Freeze, the FIRST thing you should do is turn off the automatic updates. Update the "root" image and push it when you need to, monthly or whatever. But having it hit the network like you say is nothing but incompetence.
That veneer of lucidity is the only thing that got him his notoriety. Most crazy people that aren't locked up can pretend to be sane for long enough to stay mostly out of trouble.
Couldn't have put it better myself. I fully realize that I'm one of two people in a 50 person enterprise that uses Linux on the desktop. But I use it as a consultant, going to customer sites and working with them, training them and so on. An anecdote is not data, but it is proof that Linux is not incapable of being used on the desktop successfully, by more than just developers and admins.
And wound every week. This clock is meant to be completely autonomous. That world clock is a neat device, but it's not nearly the same kind of project.
Really? New research is making it apparent that you may not need to make a sonic boom when going supersonic. Any bets the government has this more advanced than some random academic research?

Fewer and less mean similar but very distinct things. Precision in language really helps people take you more seriously.

Linux was actually the first OS to get a 64bit Flash player. And it's been working great for me (tm) since December or whenever it was released.
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

I believe that a large portion of the population is at the stage where electronics and computers are "magic", even if they don't call it that.

(I know the second one is misattributed to Gates, but the comparison is still valid)

I don't think lightening is what you meant. Unless you're talking about a uterus in the clouds. Perhaps you meant lightning?

I think you were looking for "hobbyist". You can't be the most hobbie, as far as I know.
Way to take "funny" and turn it into "creepy", AC! I'll bet you're a hit at parties.

v'ger? Is that you?
You can download the flv, mplayer will play it.
Maybe not for you. I've been using Linux exclusively on the desktop for the past couple years. In a business setting.
