The fact that we rely on cars to move people around shows how far we have to go towards an advanced society, not just a rich one.
It also shows our stupidity, we design cities where the life/work ratio is out of balance -- the homes are 30 miles from the workplace and require a train or car to get there.

I get emails with no attachments, no links, just gibberish, with no possible way for me to be that one in eighty-four million that makes them some money.
I wonder if some of these are an attempt to validate your email. Remove the bouncing email addresses. Also, I've noticed that some of the gibberish emails are an HTML doc with a 1x1 transparent gif.
Another theory, some of the Spammer's can't properly use the Spam software...
If you do want to help, donate clothing/water purifiers like Brita more than cash. They atleast go the victims directly.
Your post is an excellent example of why you should donate cash to organizations who have a good idea what the immediate needs are, rather then donate goods when you don't understand what the problem is.
People have immediate needs for food, medicine and clean drinking drinking water. Clothing comes afterwards. Brita filters are useless against raw sewage, bad chemicals from the flooded factories, and salt water from the ocean.
Clothing may be helpful, but it is more efficient for the clothing to be shipped from the unaffected areas in Asia, where the vast majority of clothing is manufactured anyways.
Even if some of the money is stolen due to corruption, it's better then shipping a ton of plastic water filters to people who can't use them.
7 year olds don't need to learn about camping with a sniper rifle, fraging people with crowbars, or chopping off heads
Someone should create a FPS where you run around shooting the other kids with rubber bands, riding down the slide head first without getting caught by the teacher, jumping onto the swings without waiting in line and avoiding having your lunch money stolen by the school bully.

SCO started out this week at 1.87, and ended the week at 1.86... not exactly a "plunge". There wasn't any great amount of activity on Tuesday, so where's this great tailspin?
3 months ago, SCO was hovering at 1.5, and has done better then the S&P500, the NASDAQ and the DOW.
That's a typo, it's really supposed to say "be attractive in her community and church"
But honestly, any time you hear some person trying to act holier then thou and bragging about how the go to church and have a personal relationship with Jesus, it's because they are lying.

Oracle is great for Enterprise applications, but it's totally overkill for many applications. Installing it is a royal pain in the ass.
Why do I need three CDs and tweak the operating system just to install the stupid Oracle client?
Can something like MySQL do the same?
Some big websites are starting to use MySQL. Slashdot for one, and Netflix is using MySQL for some of their newer applications, including their new social-networking service.
Please, quit it with the Microsoft bashing. If you don't like the default, then change it. It's a no brainer. Microsoft has made this as easy as possible.
Go to Control Panel: Automatic Updates, and check "Download updates for me, but let me choose when to install them".
1.9% + $0.30 USD to 2.9% + $0.30 USD...sending $1 would cost $0.32-0.33 USD. That's almost the same as a postage stamp.
Plus, if you sent via postal mail the recipient would actually get $1, but it would cost you $1 + 1 stamp. Through Paypal, it costs you nothing, but the recipient only gets about $0.68 USD.
And then you lose much of the benefit of Apache 2.
I don't understand.
Are the PHP developers not recommending Apache 2 because it is harmful to upgrade? Or are they not recommending Apache 2 simply because there really aren't any benefits to upgrading.
Upgrading (and rolling back an upgrade) Apache has always been pretty simple, and it's pretty easy to have a 1.3 Apache running alongside an Apache 2.0.

Freenet had this right. You must not know what you are transmitting.
So you don't mind transmitting the child porn, you just don't want to be associated with the transmission.

Why are we comparing a simple painting program to the GIMP? It's like comparing an apple to an orange tree...
This is just a simple painting program, it works great for simple quick tasks. The GIMP is designed for more complex graphical tasks...
Compare GIMP to Photoshop. That's a legit conversation.
That's many times what PayPal charges.

Hm, but according to the Paypal fee schedule...
1.9% + $0.30 USD to 2.9% + $0.30 USD
Plus, if you sent via postal mail the recipient would actually get $1, but it would cost you $1 + 1 stamp. Through Paypal, it costs you nothing, but the recipient only gets about $0.68 USD.
