According to this study, green on yellow is the best color scheme in the most conditions. Although the study is kinda dated, I believe it still applies.
Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as
fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the
slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural
selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and
health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the
weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate
as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we
know, kills brain cells. But naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest
brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates
the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient
machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers.
Debian will run multiple services reliably under heavy load. From my limited experience, it's one of those distros where you "Set It And Forget It" and that's that.
Once you got it configured the way you want it, there's little intervention involved to maintaining it. It'll just keep chugging along. The keyword there is "correctly". Follow the readmes, howtos, and best practices, and you're golden.
It's also one of the oldest distributions which always kept to the spirit of GNU/Linux in general: community development and enrichment. Debian developers pride themselves on that spirit. To make the best software for humans. (At least that's what I gather from hanging out with Debian folk) These people are not only passionate in the software that they write, they do it without wanting anything in return, being humble in the way they do it, and wanting no reward for doing it. To them, their reward is in other people using their software and loving it! In my opinion they're not recognized enough.
In a true Slashdot fashion I didn't RTFA, but I did look at the Target website. To me it does seem like a run-of-the-mill e-commerce type of website. Granted, there's too much flash for my taste, but the question remains; why Target?
Are they that easy for the lawyers to aim at?
Seriously though, as someone that's not physically handicapped in any way, I don't see what's so bad about this site. Is it just to set a precedent for similar sites?
The way it comes down to, in my opinion, it's either someone knows what their talking about (pfft, slim to none) or they're just talking our of their ass.
More than likely you're going to see your representative trying to saying the masses want to hear.
Joe Sixpack doesn't care about this subject. That's right, who the fuck cares.
Your average citizen won't care/know what's going on. Ignorance is bliss! Haven't you heard?
They are going to "play to his age" as you put it. It's going to be set during the cold war. And this time instead of Nazis the enemy is going to be the Soviets.
The only thing I read in the post is the NYPD Blotter and the Weird But True segments. And I only pick the paper up on the train after someone has left it.
Now on the other hand, the NYT is a paper that's read all over the world. Granted it might not be the best newspaper ever published, but it does have a wider audience than the NY Post. Isn't the goal here to reach as many Joes as possible?

Seriously though, this is ridiculous and scary. How can anyone in their right mind not see the faults of the US Patent system? And better yet, why is nothing being done to rectify this?
Frankly there is nothing wrong with Moore or the media.
Maybe in a bizzaro universe.

I called the Customer Service number and the lady had no idea what I was talking about. So I asked to speak with their lawyers and this is the info she gave me: Aurora LaZeglia (212) 366-2387. I'm not sure of her position, but she's a lawyer with Penguin. Call her and tell her how you disapprove of their tactics.

Thank you for your comment. I purchased this book because of it.
For your modern weapon LEGO needs, I would check out this site: http://www.brickarms.com/Toys/Weapons.aspx
They claim it's made from the same plastic as real LEGOs, but I haven't used them. Anyways they seem pretty cool.
They also happen to make Nazi figurines for your enjoyment: http://www.brickarms.com/Toys/Minifigs.aspx
I would rather have a mind opened by wonder than one closed by belief.

But what do I know? I just use the software.
I'll take a shirt please. I'll save you on shipping too, just let me know where you want to meet up.
Is it because they're an easy Target?

SecurityFocus does a decent job of showing how to perform web browser forensics.
They have a 2 part article, aptly titled: Web Browser Forensics (Part 1, Part 2). It deals with getting data from both IE and Firefox.
