We'll have to wait and see what happens. Right now, I would wager to say that they are evil, but useful. Unfortunately, I think that's how they see Linux as well.
It is widely believed that another primary motivation behind Oracle's embrace of Linux is to push archrival Microsoft Corp. out of its position of power. In pursuit of that goal, Oracle will enable its customers to opt for Mozilla over Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser, just as they have enabled customers to opt out of Microsoft operating systems in favor of Linux.
So they're backing free software, something laughed at by most corporate bodies up until this time, to beat Bill. Capitalists using communists to fight fascists. Neat!
I don't know about social skills, but my right bicep has grown two inches since I got internet access. Once the Paris Hilton video finishes downloading, I'm going to switch arms and try to balance out.
1) Remove the strip from all the bills in your posession. This can be done with a razor blade. Just ask a libertarian:)
2) Pass them in dimly lit stores, change machines, anywhere where they won't be suspected.
3) Counterfit old style bills and pass them with real, new style bills
I've been saying for a long time that the metallic strip has been a non-measure for a long time. Too easily removed, too cumbersome to check each time.
You don't want to be a master counterfitter, you just want to be able to pass some bills quickly and fool most people. You don't want to make your money being an artist, you want to do it by selling lithographs of good artists work.
But the bills are all the same size. A little bit of the right acid and a little bit of time with the iron, and you can make twenties out of ones. And the little metallic strip doesn't work. You're not trying to pass a million twenties, just a few when yuo pay for gas, or buy lunch. If the paper feels good, and the bill looks good, they're not going to think twice about taking it.
What do you get when you cross a pirate and a mafia don?
More trouble than if you had just crossed the Pirate? You find a horses head in Davey Jones' Locker? You sleep with the fishes after walking the plank? A drive-by cannoning or a float-by shooting?
Preposition: The universe is infinite. Collarary: As the universe is infinite, a probablility equating to a finite number will occur (an infinite number of times), it just depends on where in infinity you're standing.
This said, I am still waiting for superhuman powers...
IBM is no better. I have an IBM Thinkpad 380z with a burnt out backlight. You cannot buy the backlight anywhere, you have to buy the entire IBM FRU, which is a complete LCD. The manufacturer of the LCD (Siemens) will not help give a part number or even voltages for the fluorescent bulb. They'll only tell you that it's a signifigant amount, enough to stop your heart.
That's what's keeping me from hooking up a meter to it.
it is probably useful at almost all levels.

Is this the fault of the movie producers or the content manufacturers? Subtitles can be added really easily in post-production, which take up little room on a DVD, especially if they are done in the same manner as xvid's or DivX's (not on the cutting edge of tech, don't crucify me on this). Alternate sound tracks could easily be added to the disks in time, if the content producers were serious about it, and it would only delay the release by weeks. And that's the actual release, not the manufacturered date, which is off by months. The DVD is not rushed to market by any means. Check out Suprnova.org and see how many dvd-rips are there for movies that aren't released. I had X-Men 2 three months before it was released on DVD. It didn't take them 3 months to put on all the bonus features.
It costs next to nothing to stamp out a DVD. If they remove region encoding from these formats, there's actually less different dvd's to press.

The temperature sensor can be made from varoius parts, all free if you know where to get them. The sensors themselves can be supplied as samples , however only two will be shipped. I ordered similar parts as samples as well and got a total of six sensors. To hook them up to your port, you just need a length of network cable, some solder, and two schottkey diodes (whatever the hell those are), or you can buy a cheap serial converter on the net.

it's something that tastes just like a saver, but has half the calories.

Hey, I may be a communist, but I'm not easily fooled.

A new watch.
Yeah, I'm getting ready. I should have held off on the spam until I got the bill into Parliment. You can just delete that one.
I'll keep you updated tho,

Maybe if they didn't spend R&D time and money on useless features, their products would be more affordable.
Maybe they should just skip the product and go directly to printing the money.
Still cold. It'll be damned cold tomorrow, but still no chance of Hell freezing over.

And somewhere, sometime I have spelled 'probablility' correctly.
