Oh I don't disagree, it is just that most "scientific studies" should apear right after the Mythbusters (in the next time slot) and be labeled "comedy".
What do you MEAN you are upset we sold your first born, moved a family of migrants into your living room, attached your bank account that will be emptied from now till judgment day and are holding you liable for that parking fine (plus interest) from 1947 in Alberta? After all you did click "Yes" on the EULA!
from your cited site: Although it is sometimes disputed, Carl C. Magee, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, is generally credited with originating the parking meter. He filed for a patent for a "coin controlled parking meter" May 13, 1935. The patent, #2,118,318, was issued May 24, 1938
Carl Magee was from Albuquerque. Hence the dispute. He built one there first. He took out the patent after the move to OK City.
I remember reading once that the very first Parking Meters were installed in Albuquerque New Mexico about 100 years ago. It was a temorary meassure to pay for some needed street repair. The streets are still broken.. and the meters are still there...

A whole new meaning to the Blue Screen fo Death....
Regards the use of hard drives as a stable backup medium: One of my hobbies is "retro computing" that is, returning machines from the dawn of the Micro computer age back to working condtion and doing strange things with them. I have many times picked up surplus 10-40mb (yes, mb) external SCSI drives of 1982 to 1992 vintage. Sometimes it requires a little work getting a spindle unstuck but... once spinning I have pulled old Mac OS 6.0 and earlier files, ProDOS Apple II files and other such from these qurter century old media. With a SCSI port on a modern machine I can usually dump such files to a emulator or modern utility designed to convert to a newer hard drive scheme (ProDOS to HFS+ for example). I can not so easily get back data from Travan, QIC-02, QIC-80 Syquest Parallel drives, early Bernoulli or Flopticals. Only hard drives. so...which backup media is better? Depends on what you want.. I want readable data.
I got so fed up with ebay that I don't. Instead, for buy or sell I go to usenet's comp.nnn.marketplace or rec.nnn.marketplace or the like. To sell, I sell ONLY in a group of people I know and who know me (this insures some degree of integrity beyond just a nice blue star on a GUI. Your word and your honor still mean something). To buy, I buy only what I know I can afford to live without and it won't kill me to loose on.
The structural steel could......and meet nearly half of the annual requirements of the American auto industry. -They build highways from plastic? Now half the Eisenhower Era Auto Industry steel requirements..THAT would be impressive!
A Red Herring this is folks. There was a hot debate in the 19th century on the proper length of leather harrness to use for the greatest efficency in opperating a hansom cab in London. Somehow, this argumentbecame moot when automobiles came along. Net Neutrality seems this way. Would it really matter in say South Korea who got preferred treatment when everyone has T3-like speeds? America is stuck with legacy infustructure and that is what this is about. Two magic words break the dualopoly and send this debate to the ash-heap of history: "Dark Fiber"
Could it be that after playing the Demo people shrug and say "its been done"? That was exactly my son's reaction the Prey demo having previously played Doom 3. It is not the imersive nature of games that is to blame, it is the copy-cat nature of current titles with out a "New Thing"(tm) to WoW people...
This was written before the crisis du jour atmosphere. And before the grant machines were geared up to seek out money to "prove" what was so obvious to so many..or so it seems. Old yes, but, old is not always...Bad?
It seems to me that we as a consumer should also be able to include a "privacy clause": Something like "By accepting my payment for your service you agree to..______ (insert legal weasel words here) or be subject to _____ (more weasel)" as an adendum on a check.
Yep. that computer...the one with a USB port, the USB port that fits so snuggly on my jump drive. that computer is nice and secure right there in the campus...
I still recall a dumpster loaded full of blue bar computer printouts covered in student grades outside the main campus registrar's office. and that was thirty some years ago...
It has NOTHING to do with telecommute, NOTHING to do with security, it has EVERYTHING to do with butinsky bureaucracy and government gimme. When, as a culture, we finally start saying "None of Your Business" as the most common reply when someone asks you for personal information we will ALL benefit.
well... since Bill is leaving the Company, to replace him, they should build a robotic clone of Bill.. Then, when the bloated corrupt corpse of Microsoft collapses before the just wrath of the thronged peasants waving Firefox CDs... they can literally...wait for it....... Make an Obscene Clone Fall...
Identities should be like Kleanex; Each one fresh and packed a thousand to the box. The extra absorbant ones should come with a inital $5000 credit limit -per please. Oh and where is the nearest bank I so can dispose of this snotty old ID?
I too was raised with bailing wire and hay... and alternating city life. One thing I did observe as a kid was the runts in the litter; they did not live. Dogs Cats Hogs...didn't matter. The pup that had the problems died off and the strong ones grew to adulthood. This "natural selection" seems missing today.. Mankind arrested his own evolution by mandating his enviornment, instead of allowing the environment to influence him. We "washed our hands" of it long ago....
Indeed. the 2600 suit was a low point and it may even be low enough for lawyers to find and use it.. Snake Belly Low...
This is WA after all and gambling is what they seem to do for elections. gives a whole new meaning to "Crap Shoot"
By the way, re your Sig: PROC OPTIONS (MAIN); PUT LIST "LOL"; END;
Scientists present the information and draw conclusions leading to a thesis based on that. THIS is what they must do. Making Sound and Fury signifying nothing is what a politicasn MUST do.
The Scientific Community has been looking at the data for a long time and NO general concensus of causality has been decided on regards Global Warming. See Handler P., and K. Andsager, 1994: El-Niño, Volcanism, and Global Climate. Human Ecology, 22, 37-57 as an example of a paper (one of many) that looks at this subject from a totally different perspective. As to a politican's take on the "issue" well, that depends more on the warming of polls, then of the globe..

Mythbusters all READY did the study, only they didn't get a grant to waste doing it...
