The Open Source community should start a project to establish a set of knowledge that must be demonstrated in order to acquire certain levels and areas of certification. There's no better way to make sure that the knowledge is up to date and comprehensive.
Doesn't that sound just like a certification exam? I understand the good intentions of such a thing, but roots for the original certifications had similar good intentions, they just got mucked up and corporatized later on.
The best way, although least efficient, to evaluate a current or potential employee is to observe them in their field or question them very directly about their skills. Regurgitation is a long ways away from demonstration, but in the right situation it should be easy to tell the difference.

If you want to play your purchased music on your portable player *and* use a CD you have to buy it twice! Once for the MP3 player and once for the CD player.
And one more license for each speaker it comes out of!
I still have all the trains I had growing up. My dad and I were really into it, and had a layout that took up half the basement. I even had a little HO layout for me that slid under the big table.
Every year, I put my S-Gauge American Flyer under the Christmas tree, and it never fails that I just sit there and watch it go around in circles. Now THAT competes with Video Games!
I have one Lionel engine that was a prototype toy, and haven't been able to find anything about it on the net anywhere. Surely a collectors item, and probably my favorite train (it was the first one given to me).
"Both of these toys are able to compete with video games - a true test of staying power."
I don't think so. A Rubik's cube - maybe, but not for long. And a Gyroscope? No way can that hang tough with a video game. If you give a kid a Gryoscope and have him in the same county as a PS2, he'll play with the Gryoscope until he realizes that it only does one thing, then move on to the video games.
This'll work - take a look at the supported hardware for the Motion package.
That list of cameras is bogus - there are so many others that will work just fine. I'll post again if I can find one.
I've set up a few light video monitoring systems before, and here's what I would do...
Any camera with a BNC connector would work well. There are several "night vision" cameras that work well for around $100 - $150. If I remember the names, I'll post them.
A linux web server is great, since you can buy the BTTV card for it, plug the camera into the card, and run motion, an open source video capture program. It just captures jpegs, but you can configure how often, and the webserver function (if I recall) pretty much allows for full motion viewing.
Or, you can have it place jpegs every xx seconds to your web server, and see the images from your phone. The whole solution should come in under $250 - $300, and it's way more fun that any packaged product. Most BTTV cards come with 4 ports, so you can expand from a nannycam to whole house monitoring system fairly easily. Motion supports as many cams as you can throw at it.
It would put a whole lot of lawyers in the poor house, since our people would stop suing everybody for everything.
I would imagine that there is no Constitutional reason why it couldn't happen, but I doubt that anything can be done on a national level. Perhaps at the state level...even still - change doesn't come easy with some things.
This is oddly similar to the Freeny patent for on-demand digital media reproduction. This is such a broad topic that couldn't have been imagined when the patent was conceived, yet E-Data is trying to push around pretty much anyone that has ever streamed a file or downloaded a song or video.
I don't think backwards compatibility hurts the potential of the PS2, and it shows, since it's the favored console out there. It's obviously got some of the best games ever (insert Halo flames here_________)
Seriously, why the hell would anyone want to do this? I come from the "old days," and I don't want to go back.
Why not put the internet to use? Do it in one place, then take it to other cities or towns. Why isolate yourself when it is now easier to be connected? You can still keep the information geographically seperate.
Lawrence Laffer?
Are you kidding me?
Leisure Suit Larry is running FreeFi? What are these ads going to be?
Undress...Get in tub...Give Fawn Apple...
Game over
I wish 30% of the mail coming into my organization was spam. As it is, we get between 60-70k messages per day that are bogus. That's for an organization with 10 people.
There are MAYBE 400 legit emails per day.

That is so NOT the acronym. Actually, TWAIN isn't even an acronym at all. See this to be humbled a bit.

will it do PDF's now?

It is mapped...all of Jersey and Indiana are mapped out in high res aeriel photographs, not just "default" terrain maps.
Like - it doesn't have good documentation, and after inserting disk 2 of OSX, it won't see the disk, and there's no way to mount/unmount it.
Maybe I'm just too used to VMWare.
Maybe the only realy vision for these guys is to get bought by VMWare...
Would anyone seriously call Dvorak a "standard?"
What's the "Except in Nebraska" line at the end mean?
Pointless, but cool! http://www.aolcdroms.com/
but instead of bitching about the inconsistencies in the Alexander Hamilton article, why doesn't he contribute? Raise the average, dammit!

I'd watch the Super Bowl without commercials...
Now, where are you gonna get the power to run that Opteron?
Here you go...
