The two biggest drivers for innovation and invention are the military and religion.
Look at all of the effort people have used to build pyramids and cathedrals - really wonders of their ages - and all in the name of religion.
Same with the military - People just don't put forth the effort required to make breakthroughs like this without some greater need (national protection or God).
Could it be that he is an ambulance chaser instead of an ambulance dispatcher?
I volunteer as an ambulance driver, and apparently the hardest skill known to 911 dispatchers is that they don't need to eat the microphone when sending a call out. Some are worse than others, but many times we do need to call in for address verification.
We have a little thing called the Bill of Rights here, and the right of the citizenry to keep and bear arms is in there.
Violent crime has more to do with the culture than the availability of weapons - someone who is out to do harm to someone else can do it just as well with a bat or a knife as a firearm. I suspect that Isreal doesn't allow Palestinians the right to bear arms, but that doesn't stop them from blowing themselves up in buses.
Which sucks - if your time is worth $x and you give away a couple of hours to a church or the local library, it would be nice to take a writeoff for lost earnings.
I read about that a while ago - they're using this process to convert slaughterhouse offal to oil (and other handy things). This is a really neat idea if it is able to deliver a decent product at a decent price.
Landfills keep alog of the organic stuff intact for quite some time - in the future they may provide convenient "sources" for oil production. Stripping out the various "nasties" in garbage would also make recycling the more valuable materials easier.
Was just talking about this with a coworker (who keeps track of this kind of thing - he's more of a "commodities geek")on Wednesday.
Sounded like people link these two diseases is that the end result looks the same. Chronic wasting disease is a muscle problem, Mad Cow disease is a deterioration of the brain. Both end up the same with a weak animal that can't walk.
Chronic Wasting disease is probably more of a problem brought on by the overpopulation of deer in the upper midwest than anything. Wolves (and other predators) will benefit until the deer are brought into a more sane population - then they'll turn on people.
You ought to take a trip to Iowa and take care of some of our deer.
The whitetail deer is an amazingly adaptable animal - they are designed for the way that we grow crops and are thriving out here (to the point where they are a danger to the public).
There are places down by the creeks that you can drive by at twilight and see 30 - 60 deer just standing around.
I'm more concerned about loosing a couple of kids.
Having said that, deer are more of a threat to people than any bears or cougars would hope to be. I just read that deer/car collisions cause more than $1 billion in damage per year, hurt thousands of people, and kill more than 200 per year. They're as dangerous as the Iraqi army.
Damn deer - they should be developing more efficient ways to thin the herds than to artificially create more of them!
Around here in northern Iowa, they are thicker than cattle. When my parents were young, they never saw deer (there weren't that many of them), but most farmers had cattle. My kids almost never see cattle, but deer don't even excite them - they're too common. Even worse, we're starting to see more "real" predators migrate into the area - bears, lynx, and mountain lions.

So why not just run a linux/samba server in its place? With that, you could even implement an NT security domain as well as doing the file server.
Internet Banking is still a low penetration product. Not everyone is comfortable with it yet.
Shouldn't they already have something here - for billing if nothing else?
Actually 2*pi. And they are talking about a LOT of millimeters
You mean mostly insane?
As long as they work with RPN!
Good point - it's better that they waste their time with useless stuff instead of poking their noses into the business of hard working people.

Cool - northern lights!

I have about half the number of users.
Users got around 3 or 4 instances of the worm, and I got all of the bad address bounces - maybe a dozen or so.
Actually - Democrats are evil and Republicans are mostly incompetent.
I stand corrected - assuming that the firearms handling course is available to them.
My main point is that someone with the will to do so can do a lot of damage without the use of firearms.
In rural areas in Iowa, we have lights at "major" (note the quotes) intersections - like ones with a stop sign.
Any attempt to put cameras on them would be fruitless - too much of an area that wouldn't be covered.
We DO, however, have power lines on poles running along most roads...

You can't overstate the value of good lighting - I've got a halogen worklight right above my compeuter work area, and it helps alot.
Ah - the communist workers paradise!
If you're solely maintaining static sites, just keep copies of the site as published.

If you have an entire population based off of clones, wouldn't that also have too little genetic diversity?
