All they need is some dedicated flaggers. And face it, anyone who is willing to stand outside handing out personality tests is willing to sit on their rear and click "scam". I recommend auctioning material on Scatentology. It's Scientology crazy but free. As a matter of fact, I think I'll list an auction for Scatentology secrets and an F-Meter (a seashell. You hold it to your ear and listen to the cretans instruct you).
They'll be certain to address the cause of the leak - videotapes. Whether or not the sodium leak problems will be addressed I can't say, but they'll ban video evidence of problems for sure.
Chris was best remembered on K5 for his article on how exciting it was to see what a cat sees by chopping the eye out and wiring it up. I suggested that he perform a simpler test - fill the cat's bowl with food and set the bowl down. If the cat sees the bowl and comes, we know what the cat can see - its food bowl. No cats were harmed in the making of my experiment. Despite this, it was still informational.

You: "It tells you all that on my license?"

and logic says that if you are a congress man living on lobby money then you don't want a clear paper trail, because it will make it harder to get more of that wonderful pony sweat. Logic says that the man who makes the laws should work to protect his own interests as often as he can without completely alienating the plebes who vote him in based on his name recognition.
There's basically one good game for the Wii every six months or so. That game may be really, really good, too. It just may be a while until the next good one.
If you stand on the corner and scream out your inner most thoughts, don't be suprised if anyone within a few blocks knows (and crosses to the other side of the street when they see you coming). Don't want something known widely? Don't post it on a public web site.
I would imagine that most people who buy this don't honestly think this is a nintendo wii. They think it looks a lot like one, and for kids toys so often that's "enough". The logic is twisted, but if you're a parent who can barely afford the $15 for this toy and your child wants a wii, well, it's a delusion that gets bought into. You can't afford the real thing. You can afford a cheap knock off, and "it's kind of the same thing, right?"
No. It isn't. That doesn't really enter the equasion.
I have the PC, C-64 and Amiga versions of Pirates!, and still enjoy them greatly. Haven't played the new one. It might be really good, I can't say. Not that I don't enjoy new games (Halo, Splinter Cell) but if I wanted pretty I'd load up a slide show. For a game it's about fun, lasting fun preferrably.
I grew up with video games where the blob of pixels barely resembles anything. The power of gameplay, lasting gameplay far outstrips graphics. Not that a little eye candy doesn't hurt. I guess the core problem is that nothing Intel produces can run time optimize "Lair" into "Tetris" or otherwise correct for this.
I don't see the problem. Heck, I think the church should have taken advantage of it. Give you a "Hail Mary" button that forgives your wounds, put all the save points in the confessional booth. "I got saved and took out the alien leader from my sniper point here, father. How many hail marys is that? Wow."
Your average congressman/woman is not fit for the types of duties we already allow them - allocating money. Let's say this had all been open, and it was brought up before an oversight committe in Congress. What exactly is a congressman going to bring to the table at such a discussion? CongressMan A: "I'm outraged at this. You stored Uranium in plain gray containers, spilled them, and then didn't buy cleanup services from my home state. What do you have to say for yourself?" Uranium Dude: "We acknowledge that we were wrong to spill the uranium, and promise to paint the containers yellow, AND buy the yellow paint from your home state." Congressman A: "That's damn right you will! Yellow paint and pork in one day. That's congressional leadership."
We need people with experience in handling such materials on the oversight committe - congresspeople can go off and write some vision law or national spotted insect day - in other words, what they are good at. And we need some sort of realistic expectations on what punishments would ever be meted out. I doubt we would ever ditch a uranium supplier because it's in our best interests for security to keep the number of entrants in the field small. And we wouldn't want disgruntled employees deciding to contract out.
"The company said it plans to defend itself against the lawsuits."
When was the last time you saw something say "The company plans bend over and really take it from this lawsuit. Yeah, we're going to sit on our asses and get plugged." More likely, "We're going to ask you to bend over and get plugged. And by ask, we don't mean ask." Companies will defend all of their actions to the death (or the disolve, in this case). If the company had put orders in to have the journalist shot they'd still defend themselves against a lawsuit.
Personal responsibility is dead in this country.
It should be no surprise that corporate responsibility is.
We're already dependent on cheap energy for our food supply - it is just that instead of coming in power lines it's currently in tortilla shaped fuel cells.
Can't tell if this is a troll post or not. I'll bite. I'm not sure where my post said I agree with the luddite type position. In fact, I stated that I believe we should automate these jobs (and other menial type jobs). We should plan for the impact of doing so. If that impact is to our citizens, then let's have a plan for how to get them ready to contribute in some way that doesn't involve illegal activities. If it doesn't involve our citizens it isn't directly our problem, but might be in our best interests to adress anyway.
The only reason why people do jobs like this is that it is better than the alternative. If we eliminate the class of jobs (which I agree we should do) then the net effect to migrants is bad. The net effect to those that they are supporting is disasterous to the population being supported by said industry. Even if the industry is horrible the alternative may be worse. So if we do this automation, do we simply eliminate the class and let the chaos fall where it may? Note that a similar thing happened in NOLA - there were large manual labor industries that were displaced (and probably won't return). The elimination of this class of "barely survival" jobs has yielded a set of people without the skills to survive in any facet. Retraining (at least according to the social worker I discussed it with) is not feasible, as most have somewhere between a third and a sixth grade education. Many of them are second/third/nth generation of low grade manual laborers. Like it or lump it the cost of automation goes far beyond the price of machines. It's retraining costs for citizens, it's economic aid to countries who are affected by the elimination of a cash inflow (or deciding to turn our backs on them - quite possibly the right thing to do). It's paying the social costs of a higher crime rate when people who can't do something else realize they must still eat.
Now we've been dealing with normal nosema for a while. Nosema weakens bees. Imagine if a dozen roaches crawled into your lungs and lived there, multiplying. You'd have trouble breathing, and so do the bees. Nosema leaves the bees barely able to crawl in some cases, so here's how CCD could play out:
Bees get Nosema in the fall. It weakens them greatly. In the spring as the hive turns the corner to build up, the foragers start taking cleansing flights (hell, the house bees do it too. Anything alive long enought o harden the wings probably takes a flight or two). Nosema leaves them weak, so they fall to the ground on their flight and die of exposure. House bees are held in their position by the presence of foragers but the hive's trying to build up. Soon house bees are pressed into foraging. These are infected too. Now the nurse bees are left. The ones older than five days take a few orienting flights and go at it. Nosema's a pain, so they die. What do you have left? Basically the CCD profile - a queen, the capped brood and a few dozen nurse bees in her retinue.
You want to know how cell phones kill bees? When you set the phone down on top of one.
In the past there have been similar offers from people getting rid of demolishing their houses. Heck, Habitat for Humanity helped strip some houses being demolished for a mall (and they did a really, really good job, all the long lumber recovered). Still remember "Apartment full of free stuff", which was in fact real - note the condition of the stuff wasn't mentioned.
but then I did start keeping them after I learned to code. Now the bees are a lot like code in that there are many, many rules, and as many exceptions to the rules as there are conditions they apply to.
I was fortunate I didn't loose any bees to CCD. A lot of commercial keepers have, and I'm hearing stories of Almond loads arriving empty. Not your usual dead out. Empty. Look for an article by Dick Marron in ABJ this month that goes into detail.

Oh, wait. This is Florida. Things already look like a Mad Max movie, minus Tina Turner and with a lot more cubans.

In MAPI? (We are talking about MAPI32, right?) Which undocumented/undisclosed APIs are you referring to?
Just curious - which MAPI APIs are you saying changed? The provider I wrote back in 98/99 still works with current MAPI32 implementations.
