Thank you for that most useful information. In fact I even located not one but two valid locations serving folks with ICC profiles within walking distance from my Amsterdam home. And I tried so heard before but got nowhere.
Please accept at least one point of karma extended from me towards you.
All we gotta do is outlaw the holes as they become known. And to reduce this so-called zero-day effect, we'll look to the free-market to improve efficiency.
Microsoft One-Care Live (or whatever it is called) sound like a nice name for the service, doesn't?
What would be killer would be if Costco, or a competitor, published ICC profiles on their websites, with detailed installation instructions ala wiki for their clued-in customers to print towards, and complete a color-managed workflow. Maybe its being done already, I have no idea (I haven't any experience with this U.S. aspect, as I'm over here. I hope to visit a Costco at least once in my life!).
Or maybe ICC profiles are passé now, I wonder what the cool kids are using these days? I haven't been keeping up actually.
Folks, I've heard from a photo pro being interviewed on the Geekspeak radio broadcast, that many pros run into each other at the Costco printing dept. I imagine other similar depts. do a similarly good job. Its outsourcing; but considering the volume and competitive market, who on earth wants to buy into the ink-jet printer/ink mafia if they can avoid it? And apparently with volume, these large depts. manage quality okay.
Also, using clients such as Google's Picasa, its just as easy to 'print' to the photo shop as it is on a mafia controlled printer.

1. Develop Fanboy culture. 2. Let Fanboyz create adz on their Macz. 3. ??? 4. Profit!!!
Actually Heinz has a fanboy culture among many British folks. The mention of 'Heinz Baked Beans' to many is enough to bring fond memories. Now how to turn those folks into video makin' fanboyz for free, that's the question.
All the same, I use them because I have yet to find better. So I recommend them too. This is what I use, it is the best I have found so far. I've got a few dozen sites, more configurations than trafficked sites, but I'm pleased given my purposes and hours spent interacting with the servers myself; and the whole package. I'm trying to figure out how to make best use of their subversion component this weekend, as a matter of fact. Splendid, IMHO.
So in my defense, I claim no scam.
but this is off-topic. I'm still hoping to find a good host in the UK. Fortunately someone in another part of this thread listed some to try; they looked promising.
I just heard on NPR the city of Paris is setting up 20,000 bikes with RFID and special racks and a pay as your go system. The 1st 45 minutes are free. One of the arguments is more cyclists means increased overall safety for cyclists on the road. because paris is making cycling a priority, and wants to discourage automobiles.
In the Netherlands space for bikes, safe crossings, etc. is a matter of civic planning, and the councils will re-arrange crossings or squares every few years as they figure out even better designs.
Denmark, Sweden, have lousy weather too. yet the per capita ridership blows N. America away. I think much of it has to do with poor civic planning and vision in North America. People will do it, if they understand and someone shows them the way. The problem is, folks aren't looking too hard, or far.

I tried Pipex and was unimpressed, among several UK hosts. Still, they did come through on their 30-day money back guarantee, and on the last day possible even.
I had a client that *required* a use a host within the UK and I never did manage. It was a nightmare. In the U.S. I use Dreamhost http://www.dreamhost.com/r.cgi?134994 in L.A., Even though I'm in Amsterdam using Drupal which requires much server interaction, I'm very pleased with my subscription for nearly 2 years already. I've seen and heard of similar good US hosts, and some nearly as competitive here in the Netherlands, but I'd really like a solid UK host with skillz to step up to./ and tell us what they've got, and why they deserve our business.

"Odyssey does not have enough assets to list on the Nasdaq National Market, so it trades on the highly speculative Bulletin Board exchange, a place investors should all but categorically avoid. We all dream of finding a hidden gem cheap and riding it to riches, but you're much more likely to find your fortune on the Nasdaq or NYSE, trading in double digits.
We're looking at Odyssey today as an exception, because it's August, half of you are on vacation, and this company has a heck of a fun story -- but all the fun is in the treasure hunting, not the stock.
Like flotsam (or a dead fish), the stock has drifted without purpose from moon to moon, just waiting for a current to carry it. In July, Odyssey announced the discovery of an unnamed steamer, and over the next month speculators lifted the shares from $1.50 to $2.95. After news of the SS Republic broke last weekend, Odyssey's stock opened Monday above $5, valuing the company at $140 million -- a price rivaling the maximum value of the discovery."
--> What is the environmental impact of your bike? Sure you're not burning gas but what about polutants from manufacturing and maintenance?
As a resident of Amsterdam, just moving towards a cyclist's based civic planning, with autos denigrated to a 2nd class status, well the streets are more available for the people to live in and enjoy. The space afforded is made larger. So while manufacturing the bike itself, plus the cycle paths have a cost, there are *huge* benefits due to improved land-useage, plus the preferred 'bio-fuels' consumed, (and where the money goes for the bio-fuel, etc. etc.).
OK, maybe all bikes are dark green, but I see your point. - - - ride a bike next time, and we'll all breathe better.
Isn't this a bit like the current market leader placing its eggs all in one (hybrid) basket? I welcome the rebel fighters willing to tackle the status quo. Hybrid is neat tech, but still. It isn't the be all, end all solution.
For anyone trying the latest K/X/Ubuntu flavor, or Debian 4 for that matter (as I did), wireless networking is easy, and cheap too, of you don't stray too far from these instructions.
1. Choose hardware from this madwifi/ Atheros list: http://madwifi.org/wiki/Compatibility. Last week I picked up two El Cheapo Sweek 802.11g cards for 20 euros each, and Ubuntu flashed its restricted driver message at one once, I accepted, and it just worked, even with WPA2 + TKIP encryption at the router. Note there are no USB wifi dongles supported. But PCI & pcmcia, etc.
2. Part of the above is working with Gnome NetworkManager.
Stay focused on 1 & 2, and don't use little USB wireless sticks, and wireless on Linux IS easy.
disk encryption: bonus points for starting with Debian 4, since the EZ installer gives you the option to encrypt the whole (laptop?) disk from the Get Go. I opted for Debian's easy disk encryption (Ubuntu doesn't offer it, really) and chose to fight the wireless puzzle. It was a hard fight, but I think I picked the correct battle to fight. So now just add a nice rsync backup to my http://www.dreamhost.com/r.cgi?134994 Debian server's non-public disk-space for $7 a month, and well that's a secure, yet functional laptop.
Oh, and www.Hamachi.cc makes for easy newbie intranets, and Firestarter is a nifty newbie GUI for IPTables.

The assistant went to the boys room to check on the children, and he noted that three children seemed upset by the incident. He talked to them about his and they seemed okay. One of the female teachers noted that there were a few girls upset and she comforted them. The was no more mention of the incident from the children following these conversations. No children asked to cal their parents or go home early. The children went to sleep and didn't discuss it the following morning."
--Hmmmm. Maybe they're learning how to deal with irrational authority figures.
I mean seriously, what were these 'adults' trying to teach these kids? How to shit in your pants? About having a miracle moment?
Sometimes it would help to consider the message towards the audience, entrusted.
These adults won't be entrusted in the future as in the past, and that's probably enough. Let's all move forward, if only we can. Being a kid certinly sucks though.
Sorry folks, if Google pays 3.2 billion to obtain DoubleClick for any reason, that's just evil, because DoubleClick has ALWAYS been evil. So? By correlation, I guess that makes Google evil too, huh?
methinks so. I sure as Hell ain't trusting Google with my data so much as I can help it.

...but if you were heading into a dive, wouldn't the opposite wind pressure drive the propeller into a counter-productive direction simply to startup the engine(?); so even once you're engine started, you'd still have to reverse the blades for them to be useful for one's own safety?
Sorry folks, but for my time and money, I want total client/server control. So I'll go to Nerd Vittles and download myself a Trixbox (in a CentOS VMware image). It'll do it all, and the docs there are great, including how to migrate to real hardware should you want.
For SIP (etc.) clients, I'll take a Nokia N95 please, which is a fancier version than the nearly 1.5 year old Nokia N80i, but with better specs.: DVD video plus GPS/maps. (Otherwise, the N80i, for about 375 euros) will connect you via 802.11 to your Trixbox, plus offers a 3.2 MP camera, good video, and syncs to Lotus Notes or Outlook (but using Windows software, I have yet try; the N95 is yet-to-be released). For client-side software, go to Project Gizmoand get your SIP client for your little phone.
Notes these phones will not be bundled with any carrier plans.

In contrast, I come and go from O'Reilly's subscription book service all the time. When I have no time to read, I quit. When I'm in a project and I need a whole lotta texts at-once, I subscribe. i.e. rent-a-book.
One of the best sites on the internets, and an example of e-commerce done right.
Wal-Mart is what it is, because 4/5's of the people benefit from low prices, at the expense of the 20% that pay up the difference as a result of tremendous SMB competition, low wages, virtually non-existent medical benefits, lack of pensions, etc.
That holds similarly true for Putin, in that by eliminating the few that oppose him (which includes bad press), the larger population is satisfied, thus the vote is secured, and most folks prosper happily; albeit at the expense of the few. China seems to be taking a similar approach, in that you can do anything you want, so long as you don't criticize the party in-power.
