How much energy goes into getting the nuts out of the shells in the first place? I remember going to a macadamia nut farm in Hawaii once. They had a prize of a lifetime supply of macadamias if you could get a nut out of a shell without using a saw. I tried smashing it with a rock with no luck. Apparently, no one had ever collected the prize.
I'm sure the profile is very racially biased, but as a company, you don't want it to look that way. Grandmas and little kids get searched for that reason.
the proposed government system to prevent terrorism by color-coding airline passengers according to their risk level will be tested using old passenger itineraries from JetBlue

cutting and pasting from the Internet is just one part of a broader shift toward all copying, all the time.
If you are copying and pasting your paper like Frankenstein, don't the professors notice that your style of writing and word choice are varying wildly from one paragraph to another?
In fact, the good stuff is becoming easier to find as the size of the system grows, not harder, because collaborative filters like Google and Technorati rely on rich link structure to sort through links.
I disagree. If I type in 'good weblogs' to google, I still get a bunch of crap I'm not interested in. Why? Because my idea of a good weblog doesn't necessarily match up with everyone else's.
Micropayments, small digital payments of between a quarter and a fraction of a penny, made (yet another) appearance this summer with Scott McCloud's online comic, The Right Number, accompanied by predictions of a rosy future for micropayments.
To read The Right Number, you have to sign up for the BitPass micropayment system; once you have an account, the comic itself costs 25 cents.
Right there. Did you see that? That's the problem with micropayments.
I don't know this guy and I don't know his comics. Why am I going to hand him a quarter to read his stuff?
Sure, if he is already established in his niche on the 'net, he can make a good living. But, if you are just starting our, micropayments will guarantee the death of your site. No one will pay for a site, um, sight unseen.
I'd love for people to pay a penny to read my weekly London Journal, but I know if I asked for it first, I would never get any new visitors.
It's fun for the inventor. I could ask what the fucking point of TV, but the answer is its fun for the person watching it. At least with the PDA thing, the person is building and creating something.

Yeah, socialists really hate a free flow of ideas.

But does anyone know why they chose macadamia nuts? Seems a very strange choice.
The power plant, located in Gympie, Queensland, is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by around 9500 tonnes in its first year of operation.
In an unrelated story, macadamia nut consumption is up 10,000%
He took a one-way flight!!! He's a terrorist lets do extra security on him for the next 30 flights!!
Oh great. I took a one-way fight out of the country. I'm going to be labeled a terrorist forever.

So is blue good or bad?
Can I sue other people if they work like me? :)

oh and don't forget to through in a t-shirt or to for all the hard work

That's more than some coders in the US get
Lisp will totally kick cobol's butt. :)

Like how to stop blogs from screwing with google's results?
how's that for up to date links?
How's that for smug?
That's like what, 10% of the total value of the evil empire? They won't even have to sell the death star back to the bank to recoup that loss.
I was planning to wait for 10.3 to buy a powerbook (first time switcher) but I think my plans just got changed.
For example, you can't prosecute someone just for producing "Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life."
:)
We need tighter legislation NOW!
Or tighter outfits for Ms. Croft

i dunno how often you get water INSIDE your phone.. but that's not usually a problem for me.

If your have water inside your phone, you have a bigger problem than running ink.
Okay, done. What's the next step?
