I find it strange Addison-Wesley doesn't include Unix Network Programming Vol 2 (IPC) in its "Professional Computing Series"...APUE, UNP Vol 1 AND 2 are rarely far away.
I agree - we use InFocus projectors here at work (X1's can be had for around $925 online including shipping - check Pricewatch under "Presentation"...
On those "movie nights" at work we run them off a laptop with audio piped into audio equipment we all bring in from home. Awesome picture - and a much better use of the equipment than it gets from the Marketing guys;-)

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself" - John Stuart Mill
Good point - but say you can't buy them all (not enough $$, the Gov releases more...) - the price goes up - who bears the cost?
Are the power companies barred from passing this cost on to us - the consumers? I doubt it - I may be wrong but I would assume anything they have to pay for WE have to pay for.
If the cost is actually passed on to us - I wonder about the "incentive" to emit less - for there to BE an incentive it would seem that the associated cost would have to stay with the COMPANIES, and not get passed on.
Right...we'd rather have it the other way around. Don't snoop, don't find bad crap like this going on, don't stop them before it happens... then when it does (because it will) have independent and congressional inquiries to determine blame - and ask "Why didn't you know about this beforehand?"
So this is the first thing we need. You want privacy? I want security more...

Unfortunately I think shows of this nature are doomed at some point to face cancellation - the plot splits and forks as the seasons go by - at some point it gets to be like a D&D game gone horribly bad.
Remember the old shows that were on forever - they did something different every week but basically stayed the same. Star Trek (TOS) - Explore - find something new - this week she's green, next week blue, but Bones didn't branch off into a new career, Chekov didn't move to another ship - Kirk was always, well, Kirk.
Farscape had great 'bad guys', who then stepped out of the 'bad guy' role and were suddenly main characters in the ongoing (show-to-show, season-to-season) plot... seemed like alot of extra baggage kept getting tossed into the mix.
At least with the old shows (including Farscape in the first couple of seasons) you weren't waaaaay out in left field if you missed half a season, you could sit down and enjoy them ALL. (even out of order)

I truly wish they would do more to support *nix users - they DO have *nix versions but they are well behind the development of the Window$ versions... I'd like to see a *nix version of their Rhapsody player made available as well.
...with the lost tax revenues? Shave time - shave income - therefore shave taxable income and reduce tax receipts.
Luckily I work in a salaried position, not an hourly one, so the 50-70 hours I put in a week don't NEED to be shaved! (As the majority of my hours are billable to my company's customers - I would more expect my PHB's to 'un-shave' the hours...

"the one that started in England dug off to one side and left below the channel"
Since it came from the English side, did it pull off to the left?
Actually it makes sense that the English one pulled over - the French would never pull over for ANYONE...
