This has allready been underway for sometime. I do not think outside of a sporting event that I have watched a show on its regular time in a year. DVR/tivo/whathaveyou lets anybody control it. If you have the right set up you can put it on your computer and then take to another device. TV shows, much better from DVR. This is the same thing that has been happening with all the other mediums out there. the TV is letting people control thier viewing EASILY instead of being dictated to when they will watch and how they will watch. this loops back around to the other article last week about movie viewship being down. I know I wait for most movies to watch on my big screen(in my comfortable house, with my sound system) when I want to. So the market demands have changes, Does not mean tv is dead, just means traditional broadcasting is not what people are looking for.
I do not see how from this table http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/fees.html, near as I can figured that is a 1.99 fee for 50 dollar sale. then lets say shipping is 5 dollars for usps, then for receiving funds in paypal is 1.9 to 2.9 % plus 30 cents. so if you are making under 3000 a month it is 1.90 for the paypal fee. Now that is 4 dollars total. to avoid paypal, do money orders. Pay pal listing of fees http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_display- fees-outside I do selling for friends all the time and never get bit on the fees by just following these calculations.

Living in a state that allows Concelled Cary, which was only recently(1995) passed by the legislature of this state(NC0, for the purpose, of preventing Great bodily harm or death to the person carrying. That is you have the right to protect your life from someone else, such that if someone comes into your home and comes after you with a knife you have the right to use deadly force to stop them from hurting you. THat is why people are allowed to carry firearms. now you are not allowed to use it if you say instigate the attack or attack them first. And except when in the home you have the obligation to retreat unless doing so puts you at greater risk. It is not like carrying firearms is a passport to random authority to shoot. There are heacvy repercussions that go with the decission to use deadly force, and most time those who do will be in jail for a night and will have their weapon taken until everything is sorted out. Now I am not saying eveyrone should be allowed to carry weapons but that is why there is a permit procedure as well.
Originally as many people have said guns were made to maim/injure but as others point out that is not the intent now, many manufactures make match grade guns that are used for compititions, and many of these people would never think of using a gun to harm another person or animal, they just enjoy the skill that it takes to shoot accurately. Same with some competition bow hunters, doesn't mean you want to kill something you just like target shooting. Not all guns are made to kill/injure infact some are designed for the competitions with the 1000 dollar grips and modifications to make them hit the paper more and more, and would never be useful for hunting or shooting someone.
I am someone who has a degree (agriculture and applied economics) who now works in the IT field. Having started out working for web design firms in college and then going to work for IBM, i wish I had gone the CS route, there are still some things that I wonder why it is done a certain way. I do agree that i am more of a person to dig and find it out own my own, as I have self taught most of the programming languages I know. But hindsight is 20/20 but I do plan go back and get a bs in CS at some point to have that grounding. I had been doing some object oriented programming and after finally being sent to a class on the language everything clicked because he taught some of the theory behind it. I really think it is important to get this theory, and take the time to learn it right.
Bruce, since most of your roles you tend to play the good guy, how was playing the missle toting bald baddie in Icebreaker, This seemed to be quite a break from your normal roles, although very good and had the hilarious line of laughing at Corey Haim when he through the snow ball at you. Did you enjoy this movie, and why did it not have a widescreen release? are you involved in deciding how these movies get released at all? I feel that many of the movies you have been in don't seem to marketed in the best way, Hudsucker Proxy, to name another. I would like to hear your thoughts.
We had a similar problem here, with the argument that even though we weren't working but still we were limited. After many go rounds with managment they finally agreed to give us comp days in exchange for on call time. It was every three weeks of on call we got a comp day. Also since I am salaried if a problem did arise then we get extra comp days.
I for ONE IBM employee do like notes, I think it is a littly klunky for doing email but For other things regarding information sharing and things of that nature I like it very much. Notes also has some features for coding within it that are nice as well especially for gathering information. I do like some of the other options and I only work I notes now. On of the other problems is it tends to chew memory like crazy. One of the other nice things about Notes is that I get to personally laugh at all the viruses affecting Microsoft products when they go around. As far as having to log out it is due to Deamon's still running from Notes. I have been to many company sites that are running notes, and seem to be very happy with it in the way they can link their email systems to their information managment systems.

Where I reside in Guilford county North Carolina, The election booths were different in the fact that it was all a touch screen with box being to the left of who you wanted to vote for. This also provided the ability to make sure your vote was correct, none of this multiple line thing, you see exactly who it was for and that it was the correct line. Plus you can go back and forward and it is only counted when you push the red button. I think that this was an intelligent way to use computers. It assure anonimity by the fact that they ran off their own battiers and had no external connections, such as phone lines or anything. They were then pulled onto some device that the regulators carried which I would assume were then feed into the main regulation office. Something along these lines I believe is what is needed.
I totally agree with this. Here at IBM they thing that all we do is come to work and then go home and sleep. All the time they preach this line about being good citizens and all. Then they turn around and all the sudden occasional overtime is now mandatory overitme so that they can get a few more people out of you without having to pay for another actual person. This is one trend here that I am not happy with at all. I for one know that I must have my time away from work, specifically with MY GF, and with the boy scout troop I help with and also just working on the house making sure that everything is taken care of like cleaning and mowing the yard, and cooking. It is just crazy to expect people to work 70 hours a week all at work. Because the rest of your life never stops, even though work sometimes thinks it should.
Considering I work for IBM supporting the Lucent account, on their billing systems which is world wide, I am definitely way over the 40 hours that we "officially" bill the customer. But when they expect you to do both development and Customer Care for the system, there is no way you can get 35 hours of development in, and still take care of all the problems. When you work on something that is up all the time, then you have to work all the time. AT&T's Network Services Group is like this, at least that is what they say in the interview, that someone is sitting in front of the computers 24/7/365(gee what an encouragement to come to work for them) but at least they are truthful about the fact that you will be spending most of your time working during the week. I think this has just become a byproduct of the way we live and expect things. If you want everything working all the time, then someone has got to watch it all the time.
