See if NOAA has forecasts for your area. Then hunt down PHP code, or develop your own, to process METARs for current conditions and TAFs for weather forecasts. This stuff can be pulled straight from NOAA. I know there's a PHP Services_Weather class out there.
If you try to simply display data from a cheap weather sensor kit, you won't get forecasts or anything.

I've actually been trying to hold off getting a Blackberry, though everyone else on my team has one and keeps telling me to request one. It seems the Blackberry would be the final straw in converting my job into 24/7 with no overtime. With telephone, there is at least a barrier to calling at certain times of the day, some people don't like to leave messages, and you also need to prepare yourself mentally a little bit. The Blackberry (at least in my company) is not a status symbol or toy, it's a big plastic wart that shows you have sold yourself into slavery.
I admit to contributing to this problem. I am truly interested and excited by many fields of engineering and science, but a lot of the people entering school when I did were merely in it for the money. When I graduated, the only people getting hired were due to nepotism since the engineering market was suffering from the tech collapse and saturated by cheap labor. I did get a job (via nepotism) but it wasn't in the field I studied. That turned out to be a blessing in disguise. However, my current job requires very little engineering and I merely need to understand various concepts rather than apply them.
So I've been telling kids, whenever I talk to a highschooler who says they're going into engineering, that unless they are really interested they should choose a different major. You have to know that NOTHING ELSE will be acceptable, because you are going to suffer for it with the current economic climate. It is no longer a cash cow, and also moving away from the by-the-book number crunching that anyone can do with training...engineering here is requiring more and more creativity and innovation while the plug-and-chug jobs are shipped to outsourcers. Nothing is more irritating than having an uncreative, engineer-by-rote slob on an engineering team that needs to be running in front of the cutting edge.
Right now I use a little of my education at work, the primary use being only the fact that I have a degree. Most of my education is relegated to my own hobbies...what an expensive hobby that turned out to be, eh?
Prove you wrong? Well, for one thing, an intelligent being wouldn't grab an obvious trap. Also, the DNA structure is too similar to everything else on the planet.
On a seperate note, I think Freud would have had a field day over in Japan.
Forget Freud, introduce me to the abovementioned wacko and I'd have a field day! And I'm with her on the holding hands and kissing thing...at least, in public, and if it's really fugly people doing it. It's like flaunting their genetic crime against the species.
The official GITS: Innocence sub is even worse, because they thought "caption" when they were told "subtitles." You get stuff like "[music playing]" or "[loud explosion]" etc.
There are good dubs and there are bad dubs. Subtitles are generally uniform, though the translators can still screw up and there can be poor color and font choices.
I've heard dubs that were so enjoyable that I almost preferred them to the original soundtrack. Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water and Cowboy Bebop are two. Then there are absolutely rotten dubs like Fullmetal Alchemist, Saber Marionette J, Wolf's Rain, basically anything released by the main US licensees under low budget. Apparently a cast from Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh gets thrown into a series that actually tries for some artistic qualities and gripping storyline. These American voice actors just seem to have no ability to portray more than one voice or character.
So, while there are notable exceptions, I find that the annoyance of reading subtitles is far outweighed by the annoyance of hearing some Midwestern skank butcher my favorite series.
A one-way mirror transmits in both directions equally. A one-way mirror only works if it's dark on one side. So technically the inside of the bag will be dark and some light might filter in, but what woman wants a bag made out of tinsel?
But for the handbag, why not simply make a material that is opaque from the outside and transparent from the inside, which lets light in but not out...?
Because such a material, to the best of my knowledge, would defy known physics and optics.
Rummage in the handbag for the blinged-up cellphone with flashing keypad and Fiddy-Cent ringtones, all up in the club with the glowing bag...yeah this'll fly I imagine. Shiny stuff sells.
Just don't open it on a dark subway because Homeland Security might gun you down first and check for the stolen enriched uranium later.
Sparkle all the way...never tried a HEC but I'll take a Sparkle-user's word on what constitutes a good power supply. In all benchmarks I've seen, Sparkle gives what the nameplate claims, and sometimes more. Right now I have a 300W Sparkle supply running an Nforce4 motherboard, Athon 64 3200, two CD/DVD writers, two hard drives, and a Radeon x800 plus a tangle of USB devices. Should I be using a 400W or above supply? Probably, but the Sparkle is marching right along.
China also has 1.3 billion people, bringing the total pollution output to approximately half of the U.S. Your figures are also outdated, the last measurement I've seen is 2.72 per capita in 2002. China's emissions have grown 30% in the last decade, and they are exempt from the Kyoto Protocol. It is a runaway situation and while U.S. companies continue to acquiesce to EPA emissions requirements, China is fast approaching a situation where they will be the top polluter and no way to halt the pollution without a massive economical effect. Ignoring China at this stage is pure folly.
I don't think anyone should be surprised. Those activities were happening before the hurricane ever existed. We've become too accepting of the gang lifestyle, even glamorizing it or thinking it's funny. It's time to wipe out this cancer on society.
I think we need to face the fact that most of these refugees don't surf the web. http://www.katrinahome.com/ has space for over 4,000 people, but has placed only 19 at the time of writing.
I'll provide you with a better forum to search and ask for your goal: http://www.diyaudio.com/ Lots of good stuff there, everything from putting together a decent system for minimal money, to modifying stock equipment with better components.
I can also give you the ultimate crapspeakers. Cheap 5.1 surround that mostly works OK. You know those 5.1 systems at Wal-Mart? Yeah, the ones selling for like $35, which aren't really surround but instead mix out from a stereo signal. I managed to bypass that mixing circuit and directly input the six channels to the volume control IC. It does work on my computer quite well, though it's better if you have Sound Blaster bass redirection, because the satellites are pitifully tinny. I didn't take any pictures when I modded it, but I did buy another one and plan to mod it pretty soon. Really the ultimate in ghetto surround.
That's a headline you have probably seen in a newspaper. Are you going to bite the editor's head off for not specifying which man, and what kind of car? Those details are left for TFA.
Granted, the submitter or Scuttlemonkey could have said "Global Surveyor" in the summary. I think it was just inexperience, they saw "Mars Probe" and went "duhhh, there's only one" or something like that. But even so, the Slashdot summaries are supposed to be little more than headlines anyway.

The only thing you Europeans have that I'm jealous of is the hot chicks. Trade your women for ours and I'd never leave the United States.
I use a 1GB PQI Stick, I don't think there's a smaller, cheaper, and more reliable option for the same capacity.

But it does seem like the perfect solution for your TYPICAL laptop user, the one who uses it to check email and play Solitaire in meetings.
"Gust of wind" you say.
We all know you forgot it on top of the car when you drove away.

Not sure what, if anything, you're implying.
"Man Dies in Car Crash"
That's a headline you have probably seen in a newspaper. Are you going to bite the editor's head off for not specifying which man, and what kind of car? Those details are left for TFA.

Perhaps this is because Opera is not a steaming pile of shit, while it could be argued to be the case for Winzip.
