We need something as simple a Google Maps where we can zoom in to determine where the no-fly zones are. If you don't make it simple it ain't gonna happen.
This is what I found:

No, electronic voting machines were adopted as a result of the Help America Vote act, the primary goal of which was to prevent easily-misinterpreted ballots, particularly for the elderly or disabled.
While there are problems with paper ballots, for sure, their failure modes are a lot more graceful.
It seems the solution would be to use the "electronic voting machine" as a method to produce a paper ballot -- but not have the voting machine count the votes.
But... It's not their property. It's actually the government granted right of way. What does that mean? That means IT'S YOUR PROPERTY.
Thank you for pointing this out! People like to point out how utility companies own their networks, but ignore the fact that the government gives them free easements and rights-of-way across public and private property. If Comcast, et al. had to pay rent on the property they use, the economic formula would work out differently.
What amazes me is how quickly people adopt meaningless buzzwords like "crimeserver". Hey! It's a unique skill to be able to come up with virulent memes.
Why the retail cost of the song? Is the RIAA going to give $0.30 of every dollar to Apple? The RIAA can't clam to lose what it would have to pay a retailer to distribute the song.
OK, I've had FIOS TV for a few months. I am now considering switching back to Comcast.
My gripes with the Verizon FIOS TV service mainly have to do with the Video on Demand feature. I got used to the Comcast Video On Demand service, where it seemed like they were constantly adding more and more "free" content.
The Verizon FIOS VoD menu structure is terrible, and it seems to change every week or so. This is frustrating. The latest changes have put the actual shows 4 or 5 levels deep on their menu structure. Quite often these changes result in empty folders and show titles which do not match the actual content.
There is no "free movie" section on FiOS VoD. Comcast has an excellent selection of "free" movies.
Coincidentally, I live in an area of the country that is somewhat unique, as we already have competition in the cable TV arena -- both Comcast and Millenium Digital Media have coax in the ground here. The new Verizon service hasn't seemed to affect the prices of service. We have had relatively good rates, but mostly as part of temporary 6 month deals.
The best explanation of the Half Life story I have found is here http://members.shaw.ca/halflifestory/.
You are not spoon fed the story in Half Life. Instead, you need to take the time to look around at the objects in the game -- not only listen to what NPCs are syaing, but read newspapers and posters stuck to the wall...
Funny to see this article so soon after viewing Final, a movie about a man who wakes up in a mental ward after being cryogenically frozen and then finds himself a ward of the state in more than one way.
Or the Philip K. Dick story I just read about a man who travels into the future, but isn't worried about making his way, because he is a doctor, and society can always use a doctor, right?
Seriously, if the technology worked as planned, what would you do after being thawed? Go back to grade school to catch up on the basics? Would any of your skills be useful to anyone? Unless you were a popular historical icon, who would want to bother with you? An archeologist or historian?
Add to all of this the fact that the population of Earth is already expanding at an alarming rate.
"What's next, taking a screenshot of the desktop and putting that as the background as a prank?">
This was a great prank in the Win 3.1 days in a computer lab -- take a screenshot of the entire desktop with "program manager" open, set it as desktop wallpaper, minimize program manager and hide the icon off the edge of the screen. Sit back and watch the next unsuspecting poor slob threaten to throw the computer out the window.
If you feel bad saying "gimp" as ['gimp], I suggest you to pronunce the "g" as in "ginger", making it ['jimp]. I've already heard people saying it like that; it's not that weird.
That's it! Just like pronouncing GIF, the Graphics Interchange Format, as Jif. Yes, go ahead and fire up JIMP to edit that JIF, JORGE.
50% of what? More than half of Americans did not even vote! Are they just lazy, apolitical, or do they simply realize there is little in the way of "choice" in the best Democracy in the world.
If you need a Linux program for "users with no computer experience or slim experience with other light-duty image programs," you may want to give KolourPaint a try. I'd say it falls somewhere in-between Krita and MS Paint on the difficulty scale.
Rucker is a geek-hacker himself. The series composed of Software, Wetware, Freeware, and Realware starts off with intelligent robots on the moon, but launches off from there into wacky and interesting territory. He also has a new book, The Hacker and the Ants, which I have not had the pleasure to read yet.
Also check out Spaceland, A Novel of the Fourth Dimension, which is a tribute to the classic novel about a character in two-dimensional space, Flatland by Edwin Abbott.
And while I'm at it, anything by Gene Wolfe, especially the Book of the New Sun series. Also, for fantasy and goth fans, try Storm Constantine's Wreathru books.

Wow, an ID of over 4.3 million. How high do they go these days?

Yeah, anyone who watches a show at any time after the Official Live Network Broadcast Premiere deserves to have the ending spoiled.
... I still think it's time for Mr. Breathed (and us) to move on.
See ya later, then ... I'll be here reading the new strips.
Reminds me of this story of a data center currently in an old Boscov's that was interested in taking over the entire mall: http://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2013/06/13/cybernap-looking-to-expand-into-entire-failing-mall/

I happen to live in the present, any my MP3 player plays ... MP3s.

Much improved all around, including sceduled updates built in.

Just for clarity, that's the "lifetime" of the unit, not your lifetime. Too bad if you want to upgrade.

And silly me, I have been waiting for XXP, or at least X2003!
I guess we just need more English Majors programming computers...
