Hmm. I take it for granted that the government is generally both slow and dumb, but any implementation beats my current options:
Comcast: $59.95 / month
DSL doesn't reach. SpeedNet is a privately owned WiFi network downstate-only for rural areas, at the rural price: $50.00 a month. And Sprint's WiMax is *years* away.
ANY muni wi-fi service would beat the Comcast monopoly. So just get your act together and make it happen.
Looks pretty slick after 5 seconds of using it. My hotmail account is at least 5 years old by now, and some things have changed. For starters, the "Silver" theme looks better when used on a Mac...
Just went from 2.0 beta 7 to 2.0.0 (in Windows)... about the only difference I can tell is that the green ball in the system tray is now a smaller green ball with a chat box. That's a good thing; a green ball is somewhat ambiguous if it's just a green ball that occasionally changes to a chat box when I get a message. The upgrade process was painless.
Pidgin is a fine example of open source software... pretty slick, most things just work.
So is it because of risks like this that people have to purchase "Wii Points" cards at other retailers?
(Important note: I don't have a Wii yet, so I'm not sure of the technical details of how Wii Points work.)
For the record, I own 3 Macs. (2 operable... I sort of broke the PowerBook, and it'll take some pliers to restore).
But he is reviewing it the way most people would use their Apple TVs, and finding it to be inferior to the XBox 360. Include the fact that the product was already delayed a month or two, and at this point, it's sounding like Apple still released this particular product too early for the high standards people have for HDTV and/or Apple products.
$15 movie downloads, which is what Apple is essentially selling with this product, being rated as "barely watchable" (a direct quote from his review), just don't seem acceptable in any sense of the word to me.
I can't be the only person still running 10.3.9 (on 2 boxes). Spotlight just wasn't that killer of an app to me.
That said, 10.5 looks intriguing, so if the Spotlight-like feature is the only feature of Google Desktop I would need, it would serve my needs for 2 months, at most.
Making money isn't immoral. Making money so you can say you have more money is pretty pointless. That's what the whole parable of the guy whose life plan was to keep building storehouses of grain (to store more grain) was about.
Likewise, since the Bible has so much to say about how managing money properly makes one prosperous, (and mismanaging money makes one a fool) you can't say that rich people are going to hell. Like most evangelical Christians tend to say.
Well... at least it only took them a holiday season and three months to figure out. This would start the road of recovery, and now that there's plenty of supply on the shelves, Sony can start throwing their weight around and eating away at the 360's advantage.
Throw in a couple good games, see if people are willing to buy Casino Royale since it's Blu-Ray only... some positive numbers might start coming around.
If you're managing money to make more money, you're doing it for the wrong reasons.
If you're managing money so you can give it away (help the poor, etc.), you're doing it for the right reasons. In Christianity, it's not what you do, it's your motive in doing it.
If you're freaking out because you can't make your next payment, you can't really help anybody.
There are well over 2,300 verses (out of some 31,000+) in the Bible about money. Since God seems to care about it somewhat, it's probably a good idea to focus some attention on it. Most of them have to do with managing your money and about how the love of money is the root of all evil and such.
Some people have to drive a while to get to their job and own a house. For this large chunk of the population, I'm sure they would be interested in starting to reduce their environmental impact. For the ones that don't care, it'll be interesting to see what happens when $5 to $10/gal gas hits.
You probably meant that in jest, but to be honest, service at the DMV has been streamlined. Substantially.
The last time I went for a license renewal it took a grand total of 15 minutes, start to finish. Not 5 years ago that had the potential to be an hour-long process, possibly more at the extremely busy Chicagoland DMVs.
A good improvement would be to put some spin on the beer as it leaves the arm, thereby flinging it in a tight spiral as opposed to end-over-end. 5 revolutions per second should be good.
As for how to prevent the beer shower that follows... I haven't come up with something for that yet.
Why, when I played videogames, all the enemies I killed either got smashed flat and disappeared, or flipped upside down and fell off the bottom of the screen. Young whippersnappers making things complicated...

This story would also be a good time to mention that the Wii continues to outsell the PS3 7-or-8 to 1 in Japan, on a week-by-week basis.

I tried to come up with something insightful to ask, but I'm just glad you managed to find something of value near Danville.
This is the most optimistic writing on infrared motion detectors I've read in a long, long time.
...run furiously to the people excited about the least useful but most pretty features of your new OS, and get them to buy into it.

Interesting... I've also heard that denile could be a river in Egypt...

Too bad you're AC. Oh well.

Also, I'm a DBA, not a financial planner.

Considering Viacom is a 52 to 1 underdog, I'm going to be prudent and pick Google.

Is (!(/usr) && !(/bin) && !(/mnt) ...) a correct answer?
I wonder if the giant squid thought that it and the ground could be friends.
Alas.
Magnets. Giant magnets. Giant floating, magnetic balls like the boss in FFII for SNES. That'll solve the problem.
