    The places with the most economies of scale to take advantage of this are cities (tax credits mean nothing to cities, unless they can sell them) or large livestock farms.

    If you want to talk about poop - visit a hog confinement facility.

    Who's asking you to do that?

    Is it any worse than having the defendant show up with freshly cut hair, a clean shaved face, and in a suit?

    Does the jury ever actually see the defendant sitting there (live - not on TV)?

    Hey - if he's happy with what he's getting and is getting by with it, more power to him.

    I charge $30/hour for that kind of work and have enough to stay very busy in the evenings and on the weekends. That kind of work, you can price yourself the amount of work that you want.

    at sucks. Very, very much.

    I've got an NT server that would hang after 2 weeks. I set up an at job to restart that service nightly and do not have that problem.

    I've also got several linux servers that just plain run (and some NT/2000 servers as well).

    That being said, rebooting sometimes does clear up many evils. We have a speakerphone (around 10 years old - no OS) that just wouldn't work one day. After looking at it, I unplgged it and plugged it back in (I rebooted it!) and it worked. No good reason, it just helps.

    He should be charging at least that much hourly + mileage + beer :)

    Good point. Just was thinking about all of that construction that I've seen this summer and dreading that much more of it.

    That's cool - but it will take a long time to put that out on all interstates.

    The whole interstate system took 40 years to complete, and they're not likely to tear out functional lanes to embed the required magnets.

    This will probably catch on at first as extra lanes in larger cities (like San Diego), but would be very nice for longer trips between those cities - but won't be available for quite some time to do that.

    There you go with a serious reply.

    I remember running the lynx browser 10 years ago - at college, I could dial into the Vincent systems and get a shell and run lynx to browse the net. Cool stuff at the time!

    Not a troll - just trying to be the class clown.

    I've been using Firefox for a few months and really like the tabbed browsing.

    Haven't used safari or konquerer, but have used opera a bit on my Zaurus.

    Took the ACTs instead of the SAT and did just fine. Besides, if you took it in context it wouldn't have been funny.

    Do opera and konquerer count as modern browsers then, or was that part of a separate list?

    All the other browsers combined are less than 5%. That included Opera, Konqueror, Lynx, and other oddities and unknowns.

    You'd consider Lynx a modern browser?

    The Bush family has a history in the intelligence business. I wouldn't put this past them.

    Don't you suppose they'd have done a better job with the forgeries then.

    All of this "Bush/Rove planted the forgeries" stuff depends upon CBS or the DNC or whoever believing the documents are real and that the source of the documents isn't trying to fool them.

    Who would you rather be - Kerry or Bush if it's disclosed that one of your people made the forgeries?
