Another good way to get close to the distance, so you can see the 3D image possibly slightly out of alignment and adjust is to light your face and look at the reflection from the picture/monitor surface to get the equal distance focus into the picture/monitor.
But Linux will make loads of money, its just that the money won't be made in the development process (not as much anyway) or by selling almost empty boxes with a CD in them, but in the savings companies see in off the shelf or custom solutions for software to run thier business.
If you want a great input device for the computer I think the numpad can't be beat.
The keys are in straight rows (unlike the main keyboard) and there are enough keys to get most of the critical functions of even complicated games all in easy reach of your fingers. Also some of the keys are larger (the 0, + and enter usually) which means you can use those for functions which you need to access in more panicy situations.
I might be biased because I'm a left handed mouser, but if you mouse right handed you can get an external numpad to use on the correct side of the keyboard and I highly recommend it.
While the influance of money on the government is unfortunate the battle between state and federal rights I would say is an important check and balance in the Federal system that the US was set up as to allow more local control over some issues while giving other control to the central government.
The battle is over the details on where the line of control falls and theres a decent, though of course imperfect system in place to decide that dividing line and move it around when times and attitudes toward it change.
Intertrust will do much more than just protect your IP.
We go out and find the pirates stealing your IP, then we hold them in specially designed cells to cause the most physical distress possible.
After interrogating the pirates and finding out where all your IP has gone we burn down their houses and businesses and then investigate their friends and families.
When you want more than the run of the mill IP protection call Intertrust - we'll do more than just get your IP protected.

I don't think this was any more offtopic than the other posts in reply to the original, so i guess someone just doesnt want to respond to the correction made.
It more like short sightedness on the part of upper management who don't see they are signing away their own positions down the line - since the experienced and talented people in the organization will gain enough experience to do the whole production process themselves overseas without the outsourcing costs, coupled with the inside knowledge gained can become very strong competitors to a remotely managed outsourced business model.
Its a case of short sightedness of the upper level management trading short term profits for long term profitability and value by slowly putting everything that makes their company valuable outside the direct control of people in the company.
So there wasn't any problem that medicare was meant to address, everyone had low health costs and could easily get the services they were in some cases literally dying to get?
Medicare like other social initiatives were brought into being to address probelms the free market didn't address to the satisfaction of the citzens. It might not be the best way to solve the problem they were intended to alleviate, but beofre the program started there was still a problem with the less regulated system which suggested a solution was needed.
It also allows a random sampling of the votes the machine recorded, in the case of a digital machine the votes can be numbered, without any reference to the actual voter and the numbered electronic vote can be compared to a random sampling of the physical paper vote to see if the machine is making errors or has been rigged.
For a lever machine a similar sample would be to see if the card reading device, whatever it is, is reading the cards in the expected manner or is making errors or has been rigged, however this wouldnt check if the original machine had been rigged somehow if it didnt produce a human readable ballot for the voter to verify and deposit in the ballot box.
The reason for your city or town, not the recycling company to offer payment for recyclables is to lower the rate of waste filling of the landfill, or at least free toxics disposal to give people an additional incentive to not put such items in with their houshold waste, which is relatively easy to hide in the mix and can cause significant problems with toxic run-off from the landfill.
And the only reason they have any traction is because the voting machines don't have a voter, human readable, verifiable audit trail to track the votes. Thus you open up all sorts of conspiracy theories because theres no way to prove to a reasonable person that the votes have not been tampered with either through error or design.
What exactly are the alternatives you propose if the current system is so bad?
One simple fix would be to reduce the statutory damages to something more reasonable - which even the RIAA seems to agree with since they are settling for many orders of magnitude smaller settlements.
And second a loser pays costs could reduce the discrepancy in legal representation when a large corporate funded entity consisting nearly entirely of a PR and legal department sues a regular citizen.
However for it to even be pure science rather than simply mathmatics or philosophy it needs to be testable in some way. It might not be testable with current technology or method, but it has to be falsifiable to be science.
I'm guessing thats why the original poster suggested the requirement of a positive ID and going to a polling center. This would solve a lot of the problems since if someone just wanted to forge a bunch of people's IDs anyway - they could just vote as them on election day rather than trying to 'persuade' then to vote the way they wanted them too.
Although this would still allow for small scale coersion, again for people willing to present false ID, but I suspect thats a fairly small number.
Personally I think a statistically sufficient and random sample of the filled in ballots checked against their recorded electronic vote should be sufficient, though it is possibly reassuring to the voter to be able to verify following the election that their vote was counted properly.
Except I don't believe the Region coding was regulated and mandated by the FCC (though I could be mistaken). Thus there wouldn't really be a problem importing the devices into the country, except possibly civil actions by the studios who are members of the DVD-CCA.
Because its much better when congress doesn't even have to bother passing a law and suffer their constituents because the interests involved (with minimal examination of the effect on the public good) can get their agenda done through a regulatory agency only accountable to the public indirectly.
Note that Hollings tried and failed to introduce a bill partly because other congress members supporting it would have had to justify it to their constituents.
The ultimate purpose of requiring the broadcast flag is obvious even though implementing restrictions based on it is currently not mandated.
This is just a back door way to try to 'boil the frog' through incremental regulation and subsequent legislation if required which looks more innocuous.

Oh, wait -- they're not forced to upgrade!
Wait until you ask for an XP activation code after MS has end-of-lifed it.

Hmm most gasoline is probably american made since its refined here, although the oil base from which it's refined is imported.
Additionally copyright violations are covered under federal law, while most larceny and theft is covered under state law.

and dont forget the record companies are trying to make it impossible for the artist to declare bankruptcy.

Off by 10 in 30,000 would still be enough to make the Florida 2000 result unresolved.
Not that the other methods they are proposing are any better.

Well Microsoft has a very strong cash position so it wouldn't be too bad to be on their payroll.

you totally are missing the point of the prior post either on purpose or because you are deluding yourself-
THERE IS NO LAW OR RULE FORCING THE MAKERS TO BUILD RESTRICTIVE BOXES yet.
