You think insurance companies will lower prices for the average Joe with this? I think not. Their claim experience isn't going to change, and they need to charge X dollars to all customers combined so they make a profit. They're still going to need to charge X dollars, so what's going to happen? Heavy drivers will pay *more*, and everybody else will pay about the same as they are now. Bah!
That's the first thing that popped into my head. Big, diamond-grate cones over the front of the engines (a flat one would probably just get crammed in there with the bird when it hit).
You beat me to it! The auditor only says your setup meets a specification. It does NOT guarantee that implementing the specification will keep you safe from all harm.
;) This ain't rocket science. You want to waterproof something little, just put it in a condom and tie the end in a knot. Whether this is cost-effective or not depends on the price difference between your current USB drive and the fancy waterproof one, and the price of condoms over the expected use period (or how good you are at untying those knots).
Insightful? More like "sky is falling". Suing the source of the news would be moronic. Even if it did ever catch sombody's attention due to some text matching algorithm, the chances of it ever progressing past your reply of "we ARE the organization you're reporting on" is microscopic and doomed to failure.
No kidding! I currently play UT with my daughter, who is 11. It's about capture the flag & beating dad (litte punk!), not about the violence. In NZ, I guess I'd go to jail for bonding with my daughter.
Oh, you KNOW a whole team of people just had New Years plans cancelled! If only the Zune was also a phone - then the excuse that they didn't get the call might actually work!
I call BS. Using a mouse, most of my arm weight is supported by the desk, requiring only sight movements. Can you imagine working at a computer all day and having to hold your arms up to the screen? Not to mention my hand and arm obscures everything below it, unlike a mouse pointer. Also, a mouse pointer is capable of single-pixel selection. Try that with those sausages you call fingers. (That last point was mentioned in the interview)
Touch works great for kiosks and things like ATMs. Not so much for all-day activities.
I imagine if it's important, and you don't mind doubling the cost of your media, you could just burn two. Then, you have something to compare against, and if parts of it go bad, hopefully the same parts won't go bad on the other one. CD-RAID?:) You could even go so far as to make sure the two disks are from two different manufacturers.

Are you saying that makeashorterlink.com and tinyurl.com (for example) are infringing on this patent? Holy vague claims, Batman!
Google Groups search - Usenet & private newsgroup archives (that was formly done so well for so long by deja.com) has been utterly broken for months.
I think it's a staffing problem. They have all these big-brain, creative types that are super handy when you want to bring something new, exciting and difficult online. But when it comes time to maintain stuff and slog through the bug database, those people suddenly are working on their "personal projects" or going on sabattical or something. To coin a bad analogy, they're staffed with artists, not tradesmen.
If your cover letter reads like a manifesto, expect it to find the fast path to the circular file. Get your foot in the door first, then you can bring that sort of thing up once you find there's a little chemistry. (Kind of like dating...)
(Unless that was pure sarcasm, and that "whoosh" I heard was the joke going over my head)

little pieces should be easier to "digest", no?

How else is it supposed to keep your dungeon clean?

The URL is present in the FA. I'm simply normalizing the comment data.
...three of which were answered "See my blog". Article rated -1 uninformative.
Make sure you get one printed in reverse for the front bumper. ;)

See kithrup's reply above why banning an IP won't work in this case:

Probably because, IMO, one of Pg's finest features has always been the superb documentation.
Where's my mod points when I need them? Parent AC has an interesting idea there!!
Hehe. My wireless SSID is "Sa-Matra". :)
Not I.

I noticed that, too. Since I have only one tab, I now have a nice, big column of wasted space on the left. Way to Go, Google!
