    I run my business from home and my cities central library. Sometimes it's nice to get out of the house and the library is free to use.

    I'm pretty sure if we had massive solar panels all over the place, that'd effect the temperature by taking sunlight that would have heated the ground and diverting it.

    We already have massive objects all over the place blocking/absorbing energy from the sun, they are called trees. By your reasoning, putting up solar panels, if anything, would counteract deforestation-- after all, the heat that would have been diverted by the trees is now heating the ground.

    Sorry, I couldn't get to this sooner.

    Here are the registration PDFs AZ, CA.

    The area to draw a map is in the lower right corner on the Arizona form and the lower right corner of the forth page on the California form.

    I don't know what state you live in, but of the two I have lived in each registration form had an area for a person to draw a map of their approximate place of residents if they didn't have an address.

    I think it applies to college a great deal. Call me a slow learner, but I didn't learn to write papers from my instructors point of view until college. As for postgraduate work, I think I would be walking a thin line if I said it was still a large factor.

    That's assuming that education is a measure of intelligence. IMHO it's a measure of how well you can do what you are told. I have found that I get the best grades when I assume the instructors ideals. Writing papers or answering questions from that point of view is the surest way to an A.

    So, what does the professional audio world recommend or rather what is the predominate brand?

    Wow, look how easy it was for someone to divert your attention away from the real issue. Outsourcing is about the class struggle not race.

    It's about firing people and then hiring people to do the same job for less money. I would be opposed to that even if it was all happening here at home. I'm not an economist, but I think the cost of labour should rise with time. Isn't that why people get raises and why the minimum wage goes up every once in a while.

    do you want your next computer to cost 200,000$
    Don't fool yourself by thinking the savings in production are being passed on to consumers. I own a business, if I find a way to reduce my cost my prices are staying the same, because that means more profit for me. I may be an ethical business owner, but I'm not a benevolent charity.

    You take away the war issue, and there isn't much reason for a Slashdot type to vote for either one of them.
    Um, Outsourcing!

    Let's see Bush is for it. Kerry is against it. Hmm, Kerry gets my vote.

    No it's not a dupe. That story was about the University of Arizona's built telescope here on earth, this story is about a NASA telescope being designed destined for space. The only similarity is they are binocular type telescopes.

    If I were you I would write a letter to someone at the local news station and explain to them that the reporter made a baseless claim that is contrary to the truth.

  16. what do you mean by commercial? on Simplifying Commercial Software Development? · · Score: 3, Informative
    Do you mean retail software or shareware?

    I can tell you a thing or two about shareware, but not retail software. When I was getting started with my shareware biz I had to wing it. I have learned a lot, though.

    Recently I found a site called Software Marketing Resource. It seems to be a comprehensive guide. There is also a good O'Reilly article on macdevcenter.com called The Do's and Don'ts of Shareware. It is Mac oriented, but the same principals can be applied to any platform. Make sure you read all three parts.

    By far the most difficult thing for me has been finding contacts to send press releases, and then sending them. Tedious and nerve racking.

    I was thinking the same thing. The word is almost self contained, because definition is self evident. It's definitely less ambiguous than bullshit.
