I would say the issue is we are force fed more and more mindless drivel the reporters are interested in and less news we need. The result is we go elsewhere and they increase the drivel level. Newspaper stories have shrunk into the same soundbites as the TV so why both to read them.
If the uniforms are free and reasonable I would go for it. I've never seen an IT person get very far from their desk without getting accosted about some problem. You might as well cash in on somebodies dumb idea.
Forget that. Your real problem is that the GPS does not differentiate between road types so it sends you through the housing development rather than around it. You will need to figure out how to add data to that database to differentiate road types and software to read the data. That is a massive task. If it was simple it would already be done as it would end most of the GPS ctiticism.
essentially correct assumption for most places. A few big cites like Washington, DC and NY City are different. Teh problem here is housing density is usually too low to support mass transit without a heavy subsidy. The subsidy often is part of a fuel tax so we support mass transit even if we don't use it. We don't use it because we still need the car to get to the bus stop assuming the bus goes anywhere near work.
I see it as more of a push to force more computer forensic folks to learn the legal requirements, and possibly some of the technical requirements, of what they are doing. Anyone following the Groklaw request for input on the Lindor case should see just how poorly the "forensic expert" for the RIAA did his job.

They are a print on demand book publisher that has been around for a while. The problem I see is that the scanned pages may not be that good. Scanning and OCR correction take resources. Goodvhild and, I assume, other folks do it then charge for the service in the book cost. It's a great way to fill low volume demand. It is also how many technical manuals are produced today.
Xerox has been selling the books on demand idea since they got digital printers working. The only thing added with this is the vending machine front end that let's one pick the book. Check out http://www.dngoodchild.com/front_pg_7-06.htm for commercial on demand printer of out of copyright books.
BTW, 3 cents per page is for low volume Xerographic printing or maybe what color is approaching. B&W is around 1 cent per page on a large volume machine.

your rack I can understand pictures. I can't see why you would need or get permission for pictures of the center or what the rest of it looks like.
He should have sat on the public notice for another year to let the fools get really entrenched in their latest sheme to protect themselves. ;-)

They bring their busted boxen. Need I say more? ;-)
