My in-laws live just a 10-minute drive from Oshkosh, WI, which happens to be a college town also. But where they're at, they can't get DSL and the only cable company doesn't provide service any closer than 2 miles away. His only option for TV programming is satellite dish, and for Internet -- you guessed it, dial-up (blech!). And these days, nobody in their right mind would pay the going rates for ISDN.
I remember now.
I remember how it started.
I can't remember yesterday.
I just remember doing what they told me. Politicians say "no" to drugs, while we pay for wars in Saudi Arabia.
Where I'm at in the upper midwest, the phrase "passing lane" isn't quite as common as you suggest. Frequently people just do whatever the hell they want, regardless of lane or their relative speed. I can't say I've ever heard (personally) of anyone being either warned or ticketed for traveling in the left-most ("passing") lane for an extended period.
The closest we get to enforcement of this principle is the occasional sign which reads "Slower Traffic Keep Right".
I once spoke to a moron who said, "I drive at exactly the speed limit, so I am the faster traffic. Those people piling up behind me in the left lane should just suck it up." Speaking to a few friends who are in law enforcement, they said while he may not be directly breaking any traffic laws, they would probably cite him for disrupting traffic flow (or something along those lines).
That reminds me of surfing discovery.com/mythbusters and watching their video feeds. Between each clip you watch, you're presented with a short commercial. Most frequently it's for some kind of Oil of Olay product (seriously, wtf?). Based on even your personal best guess for MythBusters demographics, I'm sure we could agree that this kind of advertisement is sorely misplaced. Let's say that over 50% of the viewership are males (which seems an easy assumption to make), this ad is WAY off the mark.
A study was done recently that was using eye position recognition, and participants were shown photos of all kinds of people. The computer was able to note where (on the image) the person's eyes were fixed, and for how long.
They found (among other things) that women tend to fix upon the face and eyes of the person in the image. And they found that guys frequently stared at the crotch area, such as that of a baseball player (hey, dudes, it's a CUP, don't get so insecure). There were other findings, but these are the more memorable ones.
If the door turns out to be an "ordinary looking" wooden door that opens on a beach, and if you hear odd sounds like "Did-a-chick? Dum-a-chum?" on the other side... well, it's better to stay here.
Since both the processing engine and the article are hosted on the same server, I can't even read about it. Anyone got a mirror to some sample input/output?
itll probably end up being a minor change, Vista SP2 with new name?
they are taking a leadt out off Apples book again, "release often and charge alot for overglorified service packs"
Yep. I heard a rumor they're actually gonna call it Windows VII.
But anyhow, talking about the rights of a US citizen, I'm surprised nobody has brought up what constitutes a "reasonable search and siezure". Pulled over in a traffic stop, cop finds baggie of weed on your friend? How'd that happen? Either the cop claimed (falsely or not) to smell pot, or one of you gave him permission (perhaps implicitly) to perform a search. Indeed, know your rights!
I think you probably understand this, but I'm mentioning it to be sure: Note the difference between the temp within 2min of brewing versus the temp at which it should be served. The citation you provided said nothing about the temperature at which the coffee should be served.
7. Are you talking about laptops or notebooks? Different things.
I'm claiming ignorance here... I thought that the "laptop" simply became "notebook" because the manufacturers didn't want to suggest putting it on your lap due to danger of (name a physical injury). What's the difference? Size?
Seems to me most manufacturers' sites will say, "These are our notebook computers", but none of them ever say they sell "laptops", just "notebooks".
I mean, do we really think that Nissan is approving scripts for Heroes and other NBC shows that have the new Rogue in them? No! It's advertising, and I'm sure Nissan pays a hefty to price to ensure that the script for "Claire's dad gives her a new [insert car]" says "[Nissan Rogue]" instead.
Uhm, yeah... was I the only one who felt dirty after that shameless bit of product placement? Felt like Heroes met The Truman Show. Blech.
I'm sure (medical companies) would love to... send the poor buggar[sic] back out there to get blown up some more.
Regardless of one's politics, don't you think it's an outrageous and indefensible statement to suggest that a company (or individual for that matter) would take pleasure in seeing a soldier injured?

HAHAHAHAHA... oh, you were serious??
I think changing policies on domain tasting would do a hell of a lot more.

Damn! That's incredible.
I mean, you've had those statistics memorized for nine years???

There's no monopoly on stupid, that's for sure.
Yowza. Sounds just like a bad ST:TNG episode.
Well, there are plenty of voices in the Java community who would like you to learn Groovy.

Article here.My ! There's dancing cats on YouTube? What have I been doing with my life?
Definitely not. Instead, he probably goes with AgentJohnSmithFBI.

I think it'd be better to use the Spartacus technique. Imagine ten thousand geeks emailing him, "No, I'm the blogger." :)

Yeah, I remember, he said that swishgrass was just FAH-bu-lous!
... how many people were abso-freaking-lutely SHOCKED to learn that there was no "backup"? There's a WTF if there ever was one.
Totally brilliant. [+1, said "Sheeple"]

Tongue in cheek...
...and continue to develop the trojan...Yeah, but does it run on Linux? If they manage that, I'd be impressed.
