Homeowner associations take care of things like the community pool, the community fence, park areas, sidewalks and paving in a subdivision. A subdivision is a small section of a city developed in phases by a development group.
There are also Condo Associations which cover all landscapes, building exterior maintenance, etc.
There are also townhome associations which are an amalgam of the above concepts.
Homeowner associations are the cheaper than townhome associations, and condo associations can be, but are not always, more expensive. I say not always, because my condo association fee, $156/month, is far less than a townhome association nearby which pays nearly $260/month!
Sure it's an added cost, but it's the only way you can live in most neighbourhoods around me.
Actually, I bought a house that had no insulation at all (it was a tile-based wall structure built in the '30s, so I should have known better) and I insulated it via injections. There was a 20dB reduction in mid-frequency sound. It still didn't keep out the 20Hz frequencies though.
We Usonians tend to harp on noise pollution only when a bass/fart pipe car is heard driving down the road. I tend to have a bigger problem than most. I like my quiet. I had my first house insulated with foam because it had a 20dB reduction in outside noise.
Yeah, we have those. We call them "Dave and Buster's", "Jillian's", and a few other regional chains. My old home town even had a home-grown sports-bar/arcade chain going. Here in Raleigh, I've only seen a Jillian's.

But there is nothyng beyond the internet, save internet 2, and that's just an ipv6 version of same. There is no next big thing. If there is a next big thing, it will likely be short-lived. I honestly believe we have reached the point where techonolgy really can't take us any further unless we think of an entirely new way of interfacing with our machines.
There may be no use for a C=64 in the modern world, but that doesn't mean my argument is any weaker.
I used both at the same time for a while, but found the mac better suited, yes. The impetus for moving the 450 to serverland was that I was giving my dad the pentium 200 (noisy bastard) that i was using as a server at the time..
Ah, it's a service now. I understand the startup items thing perfectly fine, and no less than three people pointed it out to me. One called me a nitwit.
I also understand that you can quit stickies on accident, stickies goes into your cmd-tab menu, and there are several other inconsistencies with both OS X interface design, and real-world stickies.
If I want to play games, there is a playstation 2 across the room from me. I don't even play games on PCs when given the chance, so there is zero chance I was going to pollute my iMac with them as well. Except for Myst, of course;)
I really don't forsee a day when my 15" G4 iMac will be obsolete. Seriously, It burns both CDs and DVDs, it connects to the Internet, and currently does everything I ask it to, and it does it well.
My needs won't increase by this magic 3 year point you cite above. No more than my 5 year old web server, running a PII450.
The only people who consider a 3 year old computer 'obsolete' are the same people who compare a slightly 'inferior' completely useless.
And I still don't use stickies. What a dumb application. "Let's model something from the real world but on the monitor!" Yeah, right. You have to LAUNCH the stickies app for it to show your stickies. Not very handy. If it were a built-in to the WM, I'd use it all the time, though. Attaching certain stickies to windows would be better than a separate application that does just stickies.
We're tired of clicking through Nokia N-Gage ads to get to the front page of game sites. We are also tired of clicking through Nokia N-Gage ads to get to articles. Also, we are tired of clicking through N-Gage ads to get to screenshots, or the next 'page' of the review.
Yeah, and it just drops characters randomly because it's a feature. It has gotten markedly worse from NT to 2000. At least NT could allow pasted input without fucking it up.
Well, I'm SOL for hooking up with Natalie Portman (Peace Be Unto Her Petrification) too, so what's your point? Compared to British royalty, Swedish royalty is da bomb!
This is precisely why they need better fly-by-wire systems with good auto-pilot capability. Until then, the FAA would require a pilot's license to operate a flying car.
Come on, everybody knows that like several other companies, PanAM fell to the BladeRunner curse:
Someone once noticed that a number of the companies whose logos appeared in BR had financial difficulties after the film was released. Atari had 70% of the home console market in 1982, but faced losses of over $2 million in the first quarter of 1991. Bell lost it's monopoly in 1982. Pan-Am filed for bankruptcy protection in 1991. Soon after Blade Runner was released, Coca-Cola released their "new formula", resulting in losses of millions of dollars. It is interesting to note that since then, the Coca-Cola company has seen the biggest growth of any American company in history. Cusinart filed for bankruptcy protection in July 1989.
That does NOT belong in a permanent link. Of course, this being Microsoft, that file will be removed within two years, moved elswhere, and never re-mapped or re-directed.

Oops, my bad.. they have a link for Panther compiled for its jvm.

And one nit: the layout of that site is rather XP looking, and as a result, naff.

I suppose that was a bit contradictory. Put another way: stickies will continue to be dumb until a few things happen:

Or:
That's what SERVICES are for, nitwit

Security comes from firewalling, not running the latest and greatest OS. Close the ports, or else block them with hardware.
Also, most exploits that I have seen need local access to perform. Don't grant local access.

No, he said break their fucking legs and arrest. The arrest can be cardiac, if you prefer. I suggest injecting pure nicotine into their bloodstream.

Everyone knows that ships in the Trek universe are powered by something called 'technobabble', and that they travel at the speed of 'plot' (Which coincidentally, is the accelleration rate of the "excalibur" from B5 Crusade)
