There's a very long string of famous , I'll use musicians that associated with each other (not necessarily directly, but they are all connected on a relatively small graph),beginning with Elvis and ending with me (lol). It includes Scotty Moore, James Burton, Jimmy Page, Kurt Cobain, and &, as well as the aforementioned two.
you are at a mall and have a choice between 2 stores. Store #1 has a security guard posted at the door, you look inside and see a customer service department that is fully staffed. The merchandise is clean and orderly.
Store two's front door is held open by a brick. Some dude is selling watches from the inside of his jacket at the entrance. You look inside and see a telephone with a "customer support" sign over it. Hundreds of greasy looking dudes are selling things -- their merchandise resting on recycled boxes.
Now ask yourself-- is ebay more like store number one or store number 2?
Whatever you might say about this mission, it certainly is exciting. I can't recall any other with such a level of failures and malfunctions, yet still with a hope, if at this point slim, of succeeding (Maybe SOHO has had an equal number of near death experiences over a much longer time span).
Replace "this mission" with "the war in Iraq", and I agree 100%.
37.5% of them won't have to re-learn anything, because that is their unemployment rate. (SOurce-CIA Factbook:http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factb ook/geos/mk.html)
Perhaps free software will create jobs. The opportunity is certainly there.
Create an x-ray-dock. The ipod fits into the dock, which is integrated into a big fancy monitor. to enable the display of an image, the doctor provides a thumb scan.
ok, the screen on the iPod is lame -- no arguemnet here -- but it seems to me the logical next step here is a high res monitor -- with an iPod dock (a la Bose Sound Dock) -- that you could pop the iPod into to view the image properly.
not much different then throwing the old x-ray film into the bright light thingy.....but high tech.
Unfortunately, living here in the northeastern USA, there is a LOT of Linux in my basement.
Seriously though, it seems to me Linux if forcing the business model to change, making OS software free to distribute. MSFT should comply, and make their money for support. THAT would slow down the adoption rate of Linux.....
Black Hat = Cool Hackers, mostly under age 18, can not be prosecuted as an adult. Grey Hat = Hackers transitioning from Black to White. White Hat = A hacker over the age of 18, who rattles door knobs and probes security, but has stopped defacing websites. Blue Hat = WTF? Blue hats? Are these smurfs? Red Hats = Hackers with an RHCE, very, very dangerous.
You forgot brown hats = hackers with their heads up their asses.....
In 1895, military defeat forced China to cede Taiwan to Japan. Taiwan reverted to Chinese control after World War II. Following the Communist victory on the mainland in 1949, 2 million Nationalists fled to Taiwan and established a government using the 1946 constitution drawn up for all of China. Over the next five decades, the ruling authorities gradually democratized and incorporated the native population within the governing structure. In 2000, Taiwan underwent its first peaceful transfer of power from the Nationalist to the Democratic Progressive Party. Throughout this period, the island prospered and became one of East Asia's economic "Tigers." The dominant political issues continue to be the relationship between Taiwan and China - specifically the question of eventual unification - as well as domestic political and economic reform.
It would show definite evidence that man is affecting climate change IFF there were factories and automobiles creating the same quantity of greenhouse gasses. That there are neither of these implies "global warming" can happen independently of man.

Nonsense.
The Toronto Raptors also look ridiculous....

I just find it unusual that people would spend $3K for a laptop from "Canal St"

I recently purchased a Canon digital camera. I called the tech support line and asked for a recommendation. They sent me to a reputable reseller.

you could do all that, or just visit the USA -- things are about the same here as you described....
How about this:
Create an x-ray-dock. The ipod fits into the dock, which is integrated into a big fancy monitor. to enable the display of an image, the doctor provides a thumb scan.
it could work....

check out craigslist.org's EULA. They itemize fines you are subject to if you violate their terms of agreement.
This whole thing is out of hand....
