Wow Daniel, you really do peddle your website wherever you go don't you?

Around the year 1000 for example, it was much warmer than today. There's a reason why "Greenland" is called that: it had thawed and the Vikings could colonize and farm it.
Then it cooled off some time later, and the colony was all but abandoned.
Greenland has a lot of lushness on the shoreline, but has always had harsh ice areas inland, with pockets that could almost be compared to an oasis in desert. Vikings farming and herding, mostly by clear cutting, let the very light soil be carried off by the wind as it originally would (volcanic activity outputs very light and nutrient rich particles). Overgrowth trapped that soil... clearing it for farming allowed it to be swept away...
Not going into excesive detail, because there are other factors, but it wasn't Climate Change that solely ended Viking societies in Greenland.
I don't care if my landline is tied up most of the time, I have a cellphone finally (just got my first a few months back)
I'm sorry that the highpoint of your day after having a home ASTERISK setup is getting a low quality box to hold to your ear and generally inspire poor driving and useless conversation.
Many people tell this joke, but unfortuantely most people have no idea where it came from.
Death Race 2000 (1975) was a movie where killing people with your car was a national sport. You got different points for the different ages, races, etc.
Most metropolitan areas have the DVD in one of the multiple video stores, and it's an interesting movie... especially with Sly Stallone getting second billing to David Carradine. Learn your history, the fun way. Next week: Q-Tips!

Just checked out the Sanyo (thanks for the link) and more importantly the Momitsu... the V880N is amazing, and I love that they readily support firmware revisions (one of the reasons I love my Samsung NUON based DVD player.
Well, being that cell service has gone to s**t since 2000, I don't think anyone would mind VoIP prices for unlimited cellular service... or $15 for 500 minutes... Sorry, the last Cellular provider who actually charged for service and not for pure profit was Aerial. when Cingular bought them, the cell phone quickly died in my corner and I enjoyed $50 a month for something... productive.
And I would love to see them publicly state somewhere that if, some day in the future, they decide not to keep a game working with steam, (abondonware?!) they will release a patch that lets it still work standalone. I just don't think anyone has asked them this question. I don't see this is a very hard patch to accomplish, and easily distributed after 2 years since original release, to allow people to sever the online connection... I betcha the answer is yes, but nobody has bothered to ask the right question.
Well, that would be because the article itself speaks of the defrag 'trick' he states. Without even reading it, he dismissed the article for his own words... only the most arrogant would do so.
OMG, you mean you didn't read the article and possibly learn something?
Honestly, I wonder why people take the high and mighty road. The number one problem with computers is people simply don't understand them. The number one way to solve this problem is to educate the user about these little facets of the OS.
The article covers some very basic differences in plain english, and unlike the 'just to do this and leave me alone' attitude, puts the user one step closer to a positive computer experience... a tough thing in today's virus/trojan/adware/. world.
Agreed, very useful for keeping current weather and traffic conditions available to vehicles on the roadway. Now, I realize a big light board above congested areas do the same thing, however this brings the actual 'cost' to the car owners, which means drastically smaller overall.
This will also be useful for important notices such as Amber Alerts and possible car theft tracking.
The GoogleBar better be able to search for a few good mixed drink recipes, otherwise this is the worst bar yet! I was already disappointed with the ToolBar that did not have any 18v cordless versions.
This is what we refer to as 'progress'. Another way to refer to this is as a tool for profit. As has been discussed in everything from games, to movies, to personal electronics, Profit ceases without invention. 'Newest & Hottest' = Profit, and thus a sure line toward more New and Hot stuff...
Speaking of Hot stuff, I'm pretty much ashamed that I'm using slang from an idiot millionare's vocabulary. Just thought I'd share.
There already is a car that pushes 60-70MPG... and it's been out and unchanged for 5 years. The Honda Insight. After 3 years, Toyota revised the Prius Synergy Drive and gained a 20% (rough) imrpovement in gas mileage...
The problem with Diesel is simply US Diesel is much lower grade that European, and once that infrastructure is cleaned up, current Diesel designs greatly improve the ECO aspects of Diesel, and thus a Diesel/Electric Hybrid could indeed be fantastic. Unfortunately, that would take a lifetime stateside, but can happen now in Europe.
HP has to back SOMETHING. The trick with Technology is that you have to stand behind a product, push it, and hope that consumers accept it. If you stand by the wayside, you are bound to be grabbing ticket #4,165,280 (ficticious) at Bankruptcy court.
Technology, especially for home theaters(as one poster put it), Will always be moving forward. But it is not the baby steps that make the majority change, it's the leaps and bounds.
A VCR to a DVD = Better picture, sound, content, and navigation. It was innovation. Blu-Ray is the equivalant of buying a 3Ghz Computer for your grandmother to browse the web and read email with.

I think you need to familiarize yourself with Viking history and Greenland a bit more, probably through Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed by Jared Diamond.
Greenland has a lot of lushness on the shoreline, but has always had harsh ice areas inland, with pockets that could almost be compared to an oasis in desert.
