Interesting take on that. When I was in school, the girls with the 'large birth canals' were the more popular girls. Even though they weren't as smart as the homosapiens, we didn't call them 'neanderthals', we called them 'Cheerleaders'.
We are finishing rebuilding homes bought out from flooding last year in Indiana. Department of Homeland Security (FEMA) gives the OK to either 1) buyout home or 2) rebuild. Federal dollars then back it up (states also get back up to 25% of their cleanup and recovery costs from federal money).
An odd fact is that in Indiana, the Small Business Administration hold the purse strings in disaster relief.
One of the homes we are finishing right now had to get special permission to build back in the flood plain (we are building up ground and foundation so that house is elevated above anticipated flood level).
There are lots of interesting stories from those in the fields and from the survivors themselves.
We are still looking for volunteers for Katrina and other (less publicized) disasters.

With malware becoming increasingly complex (from simply annoying viruses to trojans that turn zombie boxes into SPAM factories), do you see another product coming into play that takes antispyware/url filtering (firewall)/antivirus to a new level? Like some sort of unified product (NOT like the 'packages' offered by Norton or McAfee---security suites are dissimilar products just grouped together)
I still think that user education is first and foremost, but perhaps some kind of heuristical scanner that integrates the roles of personal firewall, email filter, anti spyware, process control, etc. into a _single_ package.
Our Windows users think that AVG+ZoneAlarm+Spybot SD+FireFox is enough, but there are still the social engineering aspects.
Besides, we need more than ClamAV for Linux(and the OpenSource community). It won't be too long until Alternative OS's become key targets.
I also say 'Thank you' for your contributions to the OpenSource movement and being part of what makes that movement great.
My daughter is also 3 years old, and she does have her own laptop. It is not connected to our network for 'net access (but for NickJr and Disney websites she can use other PCs in our house when I am there).
She has plenty of games and she totes it about the house. I am even going to customize the case to truly personalize it for her taste. (yes, she is 3 and has her own tastes. It is fuzzy and taste like carebears).
I try to make sure she does things other than TV/Laptop--anything not truly engaging and interactive. She does well independently with watercolors and crayons.
I can't wait until I can teach her LOGO and then have her help me on more fun projects.
There are 2 mainstream methods to get perceived 3D movies: Stereoscopic and anaglyphic.
Anaglyphic is where you seperate color channels (red and blue typically) and then filter those for the right and left eye.
With stereoscopic, 2 different perspective streams are interleaved into your video. Now this is where it really gets interesting as to how to view that.
The first method (the method IMAX uses..and what I actually use in my own home) is to use stereoscopic shutter lenses. You are correct that you have to have vision in both eyes. For those with vision in both eyes, blink your left eye and then your right eye. That slight shift of all objects in vision is your perspective. That is the VERY same thing that is accomplished with the 3D glasses (and specially formatted movie). The movie is streamed in alternativing frames. So you have to find a way for the left eye to see frame 1 and right eye to see frame 2.
Alternating views is usually accomplished with stereoscopic shutter lenses. What this does is to blank the left eye and then the right for you (usually by having LCD screens that simply go dark or transparent--really not that magical at all).
The glasses are kept in sync with the video by a sender unit (mine is infrared wireless, but you can have RF or wired connections as well). The bottom line is that it works and beats the snot out of Red/Blue 3D views (anaglyph is by far inferior).
Now, some think that the glasses are pretty cumbersome or dorky. That really isn't a problem, as you can purchase monitors for your home that require NO GLASSES. Not only that, but you can purchase notebooks that already have those LCDs in place.
The screens require you to be at a pretty specific depth from the screen for it to work, but it works very well. What it does is to have a lenticular approach to views. You know those toy pictures (and now framed photos do it too) that you tilt from right to left and the picture appears to move? The surface feels funny with deep grooves as well. That same approach is used in these monitors to shoot 2 different images from right to left eye.
Sharp has pioneered the manufacturing of these laptops and LCD panels. Amazing things in that they are just one of the proof-of-concepts that you do NOT need holograms or glasses to get 3D views for motion or static pictures.

The fact that 381,267 people played Halo2 doesn't impact the game play when you are in games of no more than 8 to 16 players at a time.
Kai allows online play of most major platforms and works fairly well (response time is good, audio comes through fine, etc).
I don't have XBL, so I wasn't real sure about the monthly fees. At any rate, the difference is only negligible.

No. That is WAY off. Which revisionist history are you referring to?
At that point in history, Microsoft consisted of barely more than Allen and Gates providing BASIC programming tools. Seattle Computer Products, Intel, Digital Research and Xerox had larger contributions to the development of PC than Microsoft.
Kildall did all the work to take the foundation of CP/M (and have source 'borrowed' by an employee) that then made itself into QDOS which was later marketed and the bought-out by Microsoft. That was Microsoft's claim to PC-fame was buying out stolen code and hocking it as their own.
So where it the invention by Microsoft? That's like the pompous rich man that says 'yep, we built that house....' NO. You PAID someone to build it.
One should not take credit or give credit by someone who merely was associated with a great creation.
Epson has had print heads in the inkjet printers for a long time. That's why the ink cartridges are only $7 retail (I got a dozen for ~$15 on ebay).
Canon used to have theirs seperate from the little ink wells so that you could replace the heads independent of each other.
The 'heads' are just micro-voltage actuated valves. The ones built into cartridge heads have short lifetimes (hence why you shouldn't refill more than 3 or 4 times). The quality of heads in the Epson are much sturdier, but then you waste alot of ink trying to purge clogged valves.
I used to work on a LARGE printer (printed directly to custom cardboard boxes). The printheads were made by Marsh printing (~400 just to have them repacked) and was bigger than my fist. (can you see me clenching).
Anyway, not a new idea. Just a 'new specific implementation'.
I think this lawyer from New Line sums it up pretty well.... "Peter Jackson is an incredible filmmaker who did the impossible on 'Lord of the Rings,' " this lawyer said. "But there's a certain piggishness involved here. New Line already gave him enough money to rebuild Baghdad, but it's still not enough for him."
Jackson was quoted as saying "yessss. my precioussss 100 million dollarsss." and then proceeded to devour a live sea bass.
I have a few servers right now that cost close to $30k each. (and this is at a 29 employee non-tech company). $30k might seem like a lot to a Windows technician, but that is a cheap box for high-end Unix servers (won't even touch mainframe for that).
6 years ago, when I ran a network for a large company (in a very rural community, mind you) the most expensive server there cost over $320,000. It was an AS/400 and it was/is a phenomenal piece of equipment.
Heck, it cost $900 just for 1 10/100 ethernet card back in 1999. (and PC nics were $15)
$30k is peanuts. Go checkout some 8-way IBM boxes. Or HP or high-end chompaq. And no, you do NOT reboot a $300k+ server during maintenance.

There really is a lot of Truth in the Bible. And don't get caught up in other peoples interpretations (study Hebrew root words --and Greek for New Testament to get a better understanding).
It reminds me of when I lived overseas and watched American movies like 'Ace Ventura: Pet Detective'. No one (except myself) was laughing in the theater for Ace Ventura. I began reading the subtitles while listening to the dialogue. While the translation could be considered accurate, every punchline and sarcastic statement was diffused with literal translations.
Our expression are much different than our friends overseas, and not a single idea got communicated as the director would have intended.
Bible is very similar when language was used in translation to make it easier for us to relate to, but at the same time understand the differences. (like the fact that English only has one word for father and translate Abba kind of loses its powerful context).
I am sure you can find more people that come out of the woodwork that will turn and twist phrases and meanings to their liking and they all lack a true relationship with God. Organized religion does make people lukewarm and seek out answers they want to hear and not to discover TRUTH.
The way many large corporations have abused the Patent office, I was thinking of the phrase 'kick a dead horse'. That didn't really embody the way in which our friendly monopolies suck the very life and creativity out of any possible competition (or competent solution that benefits humankind).

Get off of the '7 days' issue. Before you can chew solid food, you must first be weened from your mother's tit. (to paraphrase the words of Paul)
I have a photograph on my desk of myself and a loved one. If someone asks me 'how tall are you' I say '6 foot'. But then they pull out a ruler and measure that I am a mere 3" tall. Now I can argue until I am blue in the face that I am indeed 6'0" tall, but they (and they would be correct in their minds) that I am only 3" tall.
The same holds true for the first 7 days of creation. They are NOT LITERAL 24 hour days (as was TERRIBLY argued in the Scopes Trial).
It is a reference point for how things fell into place along that stretch of time. Those days might not have even been equal according to our current methods of measuring 'time'.
Outbound traffic is called 'egress filtering' (yes, you need to know that so that you know what to google for;) )
And yes, it is possible through the iptables stateful firewall (older version used ipchains).
If you don't like managing your firewall rules by hand, there are plenty of perl scripts (bash shell scripts can be klunky and slow) to manage this for you.
This is also one method to add the myriad of anti-peer-to-peer addresses that keep growing day by day.
I love IPCop, and not just because Phil is a heck-of-a-nice guy. It has great features and the blue interface for wireless is great.
I have used GPS connected to one of my laptops on past trips. A neat benefit is that the map software highlights your trip path and the driving path concurrently on the screen. Another little gem is that it displays your land speed in realtime.
Just one of the MANY problems with covert GPS installations is the ability to _on a whim_ determine speed, where they were at and if the speed they were driving was appropriate.
Mind you, this means you could pinpoint someone that pisses you off and datamine over their road log from the past 6 months to look for instances of speeding.
And public roads? I have a Bronco2 and Jeep Wrangler that are offroad toys. If i go mudding or hunting(and not on government park property) it's no one's damn business when/where but my own.
A GPS is MUCH more serious than being tailed by a squad car or even being wiretapped. While both of the former involve just as much real people time to analyze, it would not be conceivable to monitor an entire city or municipality at once.
A GPS system, however, can scale to track many more 'suspects' without involving any more man power to manage. Instead, you could print out a pretty graph of driving patterns or a geographical plot diagram generated in the blink of an eye.
More information can be collected quickly and accurately with GPS and would become 'irrefutable' evidence in any case.
Besides, if someone puts ANYTHING on my car, they will be pulling that box out of their ass as I say 'track THIS'
is whether this will be lame anaglyph 3D (eg spykids 3D where you use colored lenses) or stereoscopic shutter lenses. (since it said IMAX, i would assume stereoscopic shutter because my home IMAX collection is all from that technology and is MUCH BETTER than those lame red/blue glasses).
In fact, not even 5 minutes ago I finished watching a 3D movie on my home theater. It is just too cool. The problems with filming real life objects in 3D is probably why the main character will be computer generated. (my guess anyway).
There aren't many 3D movies (after the 1960's anyway) that have been made. Not all IMAX theater released features make it to DVD in 3D.
The only thing my home theater needs to match IMAX is the moving seats.. (Ok, my screen is on a single floor too;)

I started my first business in 1995 with the help of SCORE. I _highly_ suggest this. (sweet irony that I would be teaching a classroom of SCORE advisors in 2000). Also check with the IRS. No joke. They have all sorts of business plans, worksheets and help for the small business owner (Small Business Administration will even send you a CDROM with all the stuff you need)
So for whether to be S-corp, C-corp or LLC is up to you. Understand with any of them you are protected. That is to say, if you screw up (right now), I can sue you for all of your company possessions AND personal property.
An LLC says 'I am still a small business but I don't want you to take my house'.
Do you really want to form an S-corp? what a PITA.
Here read this (as just a guide):
http://www.taxguru.org/corps/scorp.htm
Forming a corporation also may mean that you have to account for stock (prove your worth in company) and to hold board meetings and keep the minutes on file, etc etc.
RETIREMENT OPTIONS:
The max limit got bumped recently for ROTH IRA contributions. Max that baby out. You do NOT pay taxes on the distributions (when you pull money out, there are NO taxes)..that's because all contributions are post-cost base (you cannot withdraw from your check before paying taxes during your earning years).
Traditional IRAs and SIMPLEs are also options.
I am NOT suggesting that you do anything and I am not telling you what your best options are.
I have managed retirement retirement portfolios and insurance for others as a prior career. I also have stopped using accountants. I had a large sized accounting firm have one of their CPAs screw up my taxes. Good thing I always skim EVERYTHING before I sign. In 5 minutes I saved over $3000 in taxes. They took 3 days to research what I told them. (and I still had to pay them)
NOTE: that still does not mean anything and you should not trust ANYTHING I SAY. I am not responsible for your actions.
I have seen a lot of misinformation in this discussion, so please do your OWN research.

A GPS is MUCH more serious than being tailed by a squad car or even being wiretapped. While both of the former involve just as much real people time to analyze, it would not be conceivable to monitor an entire city or municipality at once.
A GPS system, however, can scale to track many more 'suspects' without involving any more man power to manage. Instead, you could print out a pretty graph of driving patterns or a geographical plot diagram generated in the blink of an eye.
More information can be collected quickly and accurately with GPS and would become 'irrefutable' evidence in any case.
Besides, if someone puts ANYTHING on my car, they will be pulling that box out of their ass as I say 'track THIS'

is whether this will be lame anaglyph 3D (eg spykids 3D where you use colored lenses) or stereoscopic shutter lenses. (since it said IMAX, i would assume stereoscopic shutter because my home IMAX collection is all from that technology and is MUCH BETTER than those lame red/blue glasses). In fact, not even 5 minutes ago I finished watching a 3D movie on my home theater. It is just too cool. The problems with filming real life objects in 3D is probably why the main character will be computer generated. (my guess anyway). There aren't many 3D movies (after the 1960's anyway) that have been made. Not all IMAX theater released features make it to DVD in 3D. The only thing my home theater needs to match IMAX is the moving seats.. (Ok, my screen is on a single floor too ;)
Hey, anyone out there make a force-feedback pod (like at Dollywood ride) for home? I am going to embarq on that for myself and wondered if someone came up with something better than hydraulic (although I can readily get that complete with control remote and is not hard set it up and weld to a frame).
On a tangent.... what is with 80% of the posts to this article simply to correct the fact that Cameron did NOT direct T3. Really? what was your first friggin' clue?? The other 120 posts already to this article that point that out.
Trolls SHUT UP. me too! me too!
I started my first business in 1995 with the help of SCORE. I _highly_ suggest this. (sweet irony that I would be teaching a classroom of SCORE advisors in 2000). Also check with the IRS. No joke. They have all sorts of business plans, worksheets and help for the small business owner (Small Business Administration will even send you a CDROM with all the stuff you need) So for whether to be S-corp, C-corp or LLC is up to you. Understand with any of them you are protected. That is to say, if you screw up (right now), I can sue you for all of your company possessions AND personal property. An LLC says 'I am still a small business but I don't want you to take my house'. Do you really want to form an S-corp? what a PITA. Here read this (as just a guide): http://www.taxguru.org/corps/scorp.htm Forming a corporation also may mean that you have to account for stock (prove your worth in company) and to hold board meetings and keep the minutes on file, etc etc. RETIREMENT OPTIONS: The max limit got bumped recently for ROTH IRA contributions. Max that baby out. You do NOT pay taxes on the distributions (when you pull money out, there are NO taxes)..that's because all contributions are post-cost base (you cannot withdraw from your check before paying taxes during your earning years). Traditional IRAs and SIMPLEs are also options. I am NOT suggesting that you do anything and I am not telling you what your best options are. I have managed retirement retirement portfolios and insurance for others as a prior career. I also have stopped using accountants. I had a large sized accounting firm have one of their CPAs screw up my taxes. Good thing I always skim EVERYTHING before I sign. In 5 minutes I saved over $3000 in taxes. They took 3 days to research what I told them. (and I still had to pay them) NOTE: that still does not mean anything and you should not trust ANYTHING I SAY. I am not responsible for your actions. I have seen a lot of misinformation in this discussion, so please do your OWN research. another tip, (a BIG one..) You might find someone at the local college or university in the business division that will offer you FREE assistance in setting up your corporation or LLC).
Hey, Bill's house isn't too far away.
Let's light it up and make smores while we reminisce about the early days of GPL and Microsoft saying the Internet was not a viable venture.
