Anybody who wants to travel to Canada, Mexico, or the Caribbean needs either a passport or passport card now where before a valid drivers' license and/or birth certificate was sufficient. So to answer your question, lots of people.
I believe you are entirely correct. The Globe sites were displaying the headlines from the RSS feed and linking back to the stories on the Gatehouse media sites. Gatehouse was upset because the Globe was deep-linking and bypassing the add-filled home pages, using the links that Gatehouse provided in their own RSS feed. If you don't want people using your RSS feed as it is intended to be used, don't publish one at all.
I'm not so sure that this was a case of scraping. I believe (though I could be wrong) that the Boston Globe was using the RSS feed that the Gatehouse sites were publishing themselves to generate the links. The Globe was then doing the right thing by linking to the Gatehouse articles using the links from the RSS feed, not to stories on their own site. The Globe was just aggregating the RSS feeds that Gatehouse published based on the local towns. Gatehouse got pissed because the links to the story were "deep links", they went right to the article rather than the front pages of the Gatehouse sites and were bypassing the advertisements on the entry pages.
Good answer. I didn't think about the space restrictions within the case and the fact that the battery case itself would eat up additional room. Still, I think would rather be able to have the ability to switch in a new battery myself rather than sending my gear out for repairs. Just my personal opinion...
It also has an externally replaceable battery, so one guesses the individual batteries won't last as long as an iphone or else it's thick as a brick. (they don't give the dimensions or show it in profile)
Why would one guess that the battery won't last as long as the one in the iPhone? One would think that a user-replaceable consumable such as a battery would be a good thing
Our website has been suffering from time outs and dropped connections to the UPS rate calculator web service as well since yesterday. Seems to be intermittent, refreshing the page seems to help and it will eventually connect. Luckily none of our customers see the problem as our sales tools are all internal. Happy Holidays!
While what you say is true as far as the big supermarket chains carrying a much better variety of produce, these "exotic" varieties sell in much smaller numbers. I was a produce department manager for a large chain in the Northeast for several years and I can tell you that 99.99% of the bananas we sold were the plain old Cavendish variety. We would average around 600 pounds of Cavendish a day compared to around 10 pounds a week of the other varieties combined. Cavendish bananas were our #1 selling fruit item, hands down. The chains love the Cavendish because it can be harvested green, shipped long distances by boat, and stored for (fairly) long periods. When it was time to ship to the store, they would flood the storerooms at the warehouse with ethylene gas to kick-start the ripening process, ensuring that there would be some yellow-ish bananas on the shelf.
I'm hopeful we'll see them beginning to appear in commercial applications in a few years, though I imagine the first place they get used won't be cars.
The biggest problem I see in using large capacitors in cars is when you get into an accident. I wouldn't want to be the fireman cutting the car open with the jaws of life that accidentally discharges the cap.
# voted against in-state tuition for illegal immigrants in 2007 (HB6)
If the guy doesn't want you to breath clean air, or teach illegal immigrants (after all, being literate obviously wouldn't help them at all..), then this seems pretty much par for the course. The in-state tuition bill is not about keeping illegal immigrants out of school, it is about charging illegal immigrants the same tuition at State colleges that legal residents would pay.
Here you go: Networks feeling the impact of writers strike. It basically says exactly what you thought, the big networks are feeling the crunch and viewership is way down. Some networks held back some new programming and are doing OK, but the episodes they had in the can are running low. Fox kicked ass last week with the Superbowl, but everything else was way off.
What else does an artist need from a label that they can't do on their own? Radio air time is probably about the only thing a truly independent artist would have difficulty achieving on their own and that the labels could get for them through their payola schemes. With the advent of internet "radio", this is also becoming less of an issue as the online stations would presumably just play the "good stuff" and not have to bend to the will of to the major labels. Grass-roots music, if you will.

Oh, man. You just woke up a neuron in my brain that had been successfully repressing the memory of that episode for 25+ years. Thanks. A lot.
+1 Funny for the Dead Milkmen reference. Bravo, sir!
Perhaps Big Brother, Survivor, and the like do not, but I would argue that gems like Dirty Jobs, Deadliest Catch, and Mythbusters certainly do.

No, this one sums up this type of sheeple behavior a bit better!
Damn, didn't look at who the parent poster was until after the submit. Friggin' Twitter roped me in.
Um, what's that about the "Win" part?

McD's has actually started outsourcing the "may I take your order" part of the equation. Don't know how much more efficient it is, though...

Adobe Kuler is a nice one as well, though it requires Flash and an Adobe login in order to save the palettes that you create.

I was just thinking the same thing. Got my 16c in '86, still chugging away. That thing would kick the Gameboys' ass!
O'Reilly publishes quite a few books in the "Annoyances" series (Windows XP Annoyances, Mac Annoyances, etc.) This is just the next one in the series.
Not to worry, the server is cooled with liquid sodium. Uh, wait...
So the bank will be trying to foreclose on you for being 100+ years late on your last payment before you are scheduled to make your first. Awesome!
The Mono gang is getting there with their Moonlight project.
