... here is how my wife and 1-year-old son and I did it.
If you enjoy camping, there is a KOA just north of Titusville on the interstate. Otherwise check out the state parks. (they were all full, fourth of july week and all).
Anywhere along the shore close to the shuttle is good (pull out a map...) but where we saw it - along with mostly locals - was a bridge just **north** of Space View Park (A Max Brewer Memorial Parkway). Take the bridge until you are almost to the entrance of the park, and camp it. You will need to get there hours early (we got there 8 hours early and there were quite a few people... but it was the first return to flight mission). Bring a grill and some fine grillables.
The other options is viewing **at** kennedy space center which is a mile or two closer, but the tickets are sold out by now.
Launch schedules are on NASA's website http://www.nasa.gov/
For the whole experiance? Take a few days, go camping, the day before go tour Kennedy Space Center, because if the stars align and there aren't any problems with the shuttle they will actually drive you within a mile or two of it and you get some pretty good camera shots (from inside the van). I'd suggest getting there 2 days before the launch, go to KSC, go to the launch, don't be suprised if the launch gets scrubbed, and plan on having vacation last a few extra days in order to attend scrubs, if they happen. If not there are plenty of other attractions...
But the NY Times does have an international presence - they have a printing shop in Toronto, Canada and 26 foreign news bureaus. If there were tensions between them and the UK, maybe perhaps the UK would oust their bureau. That would hurt. Preventative maintenance.
It is the overpowered class that has the instant solo win card up his/her sleeve that we are concerned about, not the underpowered class. A single overpowered class can screw over a game.
Yeah, remember how loooooong we had to wait for LoD? Or 1.10? Blizzard is slow as molasses when it comes to generating content and revamps... 1.10 was in excess of a year late.
Everquest has what, 12? In seven years. And Everquest 2 has 2 "real" expansions and several small ($7 iirc, I'm at work) expansion packs as well and has been out just as long as WoW.
A linux operating system cannot work without a CPU.
Therefore the CPU is part of the linux operating system.
Therefore the operating systems which I use are AMD/linux and Intel/linux.
Linus has said before that he could have used any compiler, and any userland, its just that GNU was there at the right time. A distro could be built on BSD, or an environment based on icc (yes, it compiles the kernel)
When I'm doing engineering research I often have to repostulate what I am looking for to Google several times before getting the results I need.
For example last night I was working on a calculation involving "k", the heat capacity of air, in english units.
"heat capacity of air" would give me the answer in metric... that's great and all but I didn't have my handy conversion table in front of me (and didn't want to spawn a second search... which is part of the point, here)
"heat capacity of air english units" mostly returned specific heat results, not heat capacity results.
Finally after 5 iterations I resorted to finding the conversion factor...

Uh, "+" instead of ".add(" and "*" instead of ".multiply("
result = (x + y * BigInteger.valueOf(7)).pow(3).abs().setBit(27) is arguably a lot cleaner: less to read, order of operation is implied by type (multiplication before addition).
As someone who spends his day writing code in C++ that mostly multiplies matricies and vectors (occasionally transposing or inverting them) I still can't fathom why Java doesn't have operator overloading. It put C# a notch above Java for a second laguage to learn, for that very reason.

WoW is for the simple minds. You hit 60 and either PVP or farm/raid for gear. That's it. You take it as far as RL lets you. Its a very simple game. Contrast that to a game where you can lose gear (EVE) or a game where you can lose XP (EQ) or funnel XP into abilities (EQ) on top of farming factions/gear/high-end quests/a ton of raid content, and WoW just looks like a toy. Sorry. Not trying to rant, but everytime someone gets up on there high horse and says how "hardcore" WoW is I just have to laugh inside. And yea I played it. Hit 60 in 2 months and sold my char. Just wasn't fun.
As a former EQer (and a former WoWer... for 2 months, hit 60 and quit...) I honestly don't want any WoWers playing Vanguard when it comes out. I'm glad a game like WoW came out to keep them busy, so that the rest of the good games (EQ/EQ2/Vanguard, hopefully) have a few less noobs...
... but Windows XP Pro x64 happens to work pretty damn well. All my hardware is supported by signed drivers, including gaming devices. And yea, I make use of the 64 bit capabilities (as a developer). I do dual-boot Linux as needed.
The FUD about drivers not being there is for ancient crap like winmodems - stuff that deserves to die a long, painful death.
Lot was experiancing contant punishment after selfishly picking the "good land" from Abraham.
That's why he had a mob of rapists, and had to think of some way to get out of it (and made the wrong choice of throwing his daughers out - and where does it say in the bible that he was justified in doing this? My bible sure doesn't say that...). That's why his hometown was destroyed by brimstone, because it was such an abomination before God. That's (partially) why his wife died, and why he lost all his posessions... and got captured by an opposing faction of kings.
But Abraham comes along and saves his ass, cause he's a good guy, and an archetype of Christ.
... you hit the nail on the head. The problem here is that RMS and the FSF are trying to protect freedoms by placing restrictions on them. Kind of funny, if you think about it...
You made the implication that Java and MONO were open source. MONO is, but it is based on Microsoft's code, and Java is anything but open source. I was just pointing out the flaw in your argument.
Even on directional antennas you get some leak in the non-principal directions. My wife and brother are both pilots. I have flown with them and yes, you can pick up WiFi on occasion even at a decent altitude.
Why? because there is no obstruction.
Again, let me repeat my story. My 0.5W HAM radio will only talk maybe half a mile point to point on the surface of the earth, but will communicate with the space shuttle and amateur space satellites 250+km up. Why? Obstructions. Trees, houses. Atmospheric obscuration from scattering due to molecules.
but then.Net's Linux version (Mono) and Java/JSP satisfy that dilemna.
Yeah, cause Mono is based on ECMA standard (generated by Microsoft) and Java isn't open source. And since C++ and PHP/Perl are "more complicated and granular than would be convenient for you" I guess your arguments are null and void. In your case, closed source is greater than open.

Use my 512M daily for over a year and its still solid, no mechanical failures or data problems. Solid.

I've got a Visioneer scanner that doesn't work, and I've been eyeing a HDTV tuner card that doesn't have drivers yet.
...
Moral of the story: don't buy cheap ass hardware. It goes the same way for the linux guys
And there are several HDTV tuner cards well supported, for example this one comes recommended. No reason to pay the Apple Tax...
I didn't respond to you ... and don't take things so personally. This is slashdot.

You do realize BETA means DEBUG code, and the real thing will run faster?
