Michael, I'm really excited about your candidacy, and I'm looking forward to voting for you in the upcoming election.
My concern is, if you are elected, how will you implement your visionary policies concerning drugs, free-trade, and gun control? They all sound crucial and agreeable, but I haven't seen anything about how you'd push such reforms through congress - the last thing we need is expansion of the Imperial Presidency - where an irresponsible congress has left too much power open to usurping.
The Zeos Pantera baby, best computer I ever owned! In fact, the company was so horribly mismanaged I got 2 free Zeos Pantera's, which cost like $3500 at the time, LOL.
I picked this book up a couple months ago and so far I've been very impressed with it's blend of advanced tutorials and beginner breakdown. I have nominal programming experience with ASP and Javascript, and it quickly highlights a lot of the strengths of PHP over both of those languages. I haven't gotten into any of the MySQL stuff yet, but I assume it will be just as well written.
Allmusic.com runs off a single box using M$ and an ISAPI DLL to deal out the pages against a Foxpro database. We have the largest implementation of Foxpro known, lol. 2 mil ain't bad for an M$ setup. In fact, it's probably some sort of record!
My parent company (AEC - I work for allmusic.com) was in talks to merge with Liquid Audio... purely for a cash infusion into the company, but the stockholders wouldn't let it happen (in exchange for AEC stock - which in the long run probably would've been better than this nominal cash payout). Just something you should know if you're interested.
If you find that fascinating, and you just flew into DTW (the new northwest terminal is pretty fly), then you'll find these sites really interesting:
http://detroityes.com/ The ruins of detroit - a lot of old car plants, the cadillac train depot & hotel - we live in the top "urban exploration" city, ya know.

The day immediately after I quit, which fell on a friday, my boss called me and asked if I could make some changes. He seemed to feel really awkward about it, so I told him my freelance rates and came in to the office and took care of it for him pronto.
If he had been demanding, I would have strategically declined quoting prior obligations (sitting around and watching ST:TNG - or, Professional Character Enrichment - PCE):) You can always decline without burning bridges.
Turn the other cheek, but don't ever let yourself get pushed around - self-respect man.
When Apple was perfecting their first GUI, they realized that they could manipulate user perceptions of how fast the system was going by increasing the sensitivity on keystrokes and mouse response.
Unfortunately, they seemed to forget this along the way. I use both XP and 10.2 and find I generally work faster on XP for the sheer reason that I can make the mouse a lot more sensitive! I have dual monitors on my mac, both at 1600x1200, and it takes 3 lift-up put-downs of the optical mouse, with the senstivity put all the way up. Now on my PC with dual monitors, I can traverse the whole screen(s) quickly with one motion. The same is true of highlighting and text input. Highlighting things in 10.2 seems laborious, slow and unresponsive. Type text in also --- if they'd just speed everything up it would greatly warm perceptions around.
I don't know what you guys are smoking, but this isn't a rip off on the TiBook. Sure, it borrowed a couple ideas, but through and through I'd say the TiBook is still a helluva lot more handsome.
They should take their lead from MSN Music (yeah yeah, MS is the devil). Model themselves less off conventional radio and more off the internet/mp3 phenomenom.
There are all kinds of music, several different choices for each genre, the new stuff and critic's choice stations. I thought about getting XM, but after going to their website, I was disappointed they didn't have any trip-hop/downtempo stations. Specific, yes, but I don't need some stupid DJ blabbling away, just continuous music... the name of the song would come up on the display and there would be no interruptions.
I remember when the greatness of bluetooth was all the rage 3 years ago this was the central idea behind the technology. Looks like someone's going to try and capitalize on this novel idea... security security security
My company hired me and the president of the company has a grudge against me. Maybe it's jealously, maybe he's just not around me enough get a grasp on my personality.
Needless to say, the best way to get a promotion is to quit and get a new job. Seriously. The good ol' boy mentality that unions and massive corporations can afford aren't so afforded by smaller and medium sized companies.
At my office, we've got a ceiling mounted AC unit. It hangs from the drop ceiling, and I imagine it's less expensive than a full home-cooling AC unit, so probably no more than 500 bucks, maybe much cheaper. But it keeps our server room at a crispy 50 degrees F with minimal chill seeping out (so insulate the door).

Probably 4 billion.

Interesting that he refers to himself in third person... I smell a secretary.
isn't this a dupe?
in the USA.
Apple does a great job of that too.

Yeah, well, the economy is bad and my portfolio went down more than 6%... it was Kazaa! Make them give me money! ... dummies.

Hey guys, why the move from the east? Ya guys gonna stay located in Michigan or move to the demonpit of cali-forn-i-a?

I've never played with Ogg... I was speaking purely in terms of mp3 vs. wma, and if wma has a trick that makes it seem clearer, then it is clearer.

If you think it sounds better... doesn't it?
