There are research institutions that will accept your donated cord blood. They don't bank the stuff privately just for you, but use it for ongoing stem cell research. They depend on cord blood donations, and there's not pain involved for mother or child. All you need to do is fill out about 1 sheet of paperwork (that's all we were required to do).
Try maximizing a window on a mac. Minimize a window, then alt-tab back to that app. You get the app, with no window! You then get the 'pleasure' of moving the mouse to the menu bar, selecting the window menu, and hopefully finding the window you wanted.
If you've minimized a window, you can bring it back from the task-switcher. This only works for single-windowed apps (or apps with only a single window open).
When you've cmd+tabbed, keep the cmd button down, then press the option button, then release the cmd button while holding the option button. This will restore your window.
I agree that this is maximally stupid finger-gymnastics to have to do, but I was very happy to have it shown to me.
Eclipse RCP is growing in popularity and is built on the OSGi service framework, which is also gaining popularity on the server side. I'd highly recommend looking into Eclipse RCP. It has a vibrant open-source community that is eager for new helpers.
I don't see wired pleading for special treatment. If dateline had been smart enough to catch a hacker talking about illegal activities, more power to them. The point of the story is that you need to be really good at subversion to outsmart the most subversive and paranoid among us.
The moral of the story is that hackers are smart; child molesters are dumb.
In 1997, I was beginning my junior year in HS, and needed a graphing calculator for Chemistry and Trig. My school recommended a TI-83, but my mom bought me a TI-85 because the box said it was geared towards engineers (which I was aspiring to be). I figured that the classes would be geared towards TI-83 button presses, so I had her take the 85 back, and she bought me the 83. All of my classmates had 83's, and it made my life so much easier. I could quickly follow along with the teacher's lesson plans, and it was easy for me to share programs and games with my classmates. The people in the class that didn't have 83's were left behind a bit.
As for reuse, I made the most out of my 83. I spent time in my easy classes learning everything I could about the TI-83 and its capabilities. I built applications to solve algebraic equations and do vector arithmetic. I used it with great success until my junior year in college when I lost it somewhere. (I was deeply saddened.) Luckily, a friend found a TI-89 and sold it to me for $60. It is an extremely capable machine, and was very helpful during my fractals, artificial intelligence, and matrix theory classes.
I'd stick with what everyone else is using. You'll likely get 4 good years out of whatever it is.
St. Louis Charter completely sucks. They have friendly customer server, but their DVR boxes are awful, and their internet is not reliable. I'd love to drop them, but its the best I can get in my location.
I used to live in Kansas City, and Time Warner Cable was great out there. I really miss them.
I spent 2 years in high school with Best Buy in the computer department. People knew me as the most knowledgable person in the store. However, I was not above making stuff up when I didn't know what I was talking about just like everyone else did.
For instance, someone asked me why a 64-bit sound card was better than a 32-bit sound card. I think I made something up like it could play twice the amount of channels simultaneously.
In general, the assessment of retail computer sales people is correct. Most of them are morons, and even if you find someone who knows what he's talking about he's never going to admit that he doesn't know something because it means he's no longer in control of the sale. And if you lose control of the sale, you won't be able to sell the extended warranty, which was what best buy salespeople were measured on when I was there.
Hey, I saw that you said you played Mario Kart on the SNES. A friend of mine and I are really into SNES mario kart. If you live somewhere in the midwest and consider yourself a real badass, I'd love to get a game sometime if you're not a psycho.:-)

You needn't avoid JSP to avoid mixing presentation and application logic, it just requires a little discipline. Basically, don't use scriptlets. If you create custom tags, you can encapsulate presentation logic into reusable components. You can then pass your application logic into that tag.
There aren't many professional-grade Java Desktop apps out there, and those that _are_ out there are generally built for maintainability, not speed (Eclipse, Netbeans). I built a Java web client that blew the pants off its older C++ version. The reason Java apps are generally slower is because the Java culture is about maintainence over performance.
Rail baron takes about 6 hours to play and is a bit like monopoly, but its fun because it uses real rail lines. Some even exist today.
Iron Dragon is very freeform. You have to draw out your rail lines in crayon on the board. There are, of course, a lot of game legalities you and your friends will argue about until you establish house rules. Once you get into the swing of it, its about a 4-hour games.

First, you're just limited to 32-bit jdk 1.6. You just can't used 64-bit jdk 1.6.
Second, someone has released a different jdk 1.6 for the mac, which is now part of openjdk:

Your sig is wrong. You cannot say that if x^2=y^2, then x=y because x^2= +x^(1/2) AND -x^(1/2).

Might slashdot get in trouble for the 'censored' icon? It sure looks like he has a gag in his mouth...
If I had mod points, I'd mod up the parent.

Where are you located?

I remember reading an article a while back that MS had a prototype Wiimote in 2000 or 2001 for PC. I don't think it was ever made for public use.
That being said, I'm a Nintendo fanboy, and they're totally copying...
If stack-based hardware does become more the norm, JIT JVMs will become a lot simpler since the JVM is stack-based.
Now the value of my Star Wars LaserDiscs is going to plummet!

This is why we need more managed code.

That proposal sounds fine, but then we should hold government leaders personally responsible for wrongdoings of government.
I'd love to see the some jail time or a fine for Mike Brown after Katrina, or how about some jail time for Bush after the false pretences of Iraq?

Does anyone remember this mid-90s FPS? It had the hand of God as the ultimate weapon. Seems holy enough for me.
Nice to see some big companies care about standards!
Suck it nerdos!

Just buy an ATI TV tuner card before its too late.
