I would like to propose the following and would like to hear if anyone anywhere disagrees:
1. Anytime a board or elected official includes the possibility of holding "summits" or "dialogues" as part of a solution to an outstanding issue, it shall henceforth be considered NOT A SOLUTION!
SUMMITS *DO NOT EQUAL* ACTION
It's amazing they can put it on a webpage and it all works flawlessly, but the one drawback of their spreadsheet deal is that it only goes up to 100 entries- I bet for most tasks that's fine but what about folks w/ more rows?
I've been replaying SimCity 2000 lately and that reads like one of the crazy ad-libbed thrown together random newspaper articles, but not quite as coherent.
Although this never really was "secret" it's about time the crew that's been in charge for six years changed direction a bit and let the American people see a little more of their government in action.
'Net neutrality is a solution in search of a problem.' That sounds like a very spiffy, interesting quote. I bet that vice president came up with that himself...or maybe it was Steve Jobbs
Legal problems gettin' thick and hazy Look at the people gettin' rich and crazy Locked up in mansions on the top of the hill Someone needs to tell them 'bout overkill
Overkill, overkill Such a megalo modern problematic ill Climb too fast and shove too hard You'll be pushin' up the daisies in the old boneyard
Ah uh Ah uh Ah uh Ah uh
I went to find the truth in the himalayas Bundled up half-frozen munchin' milky way-uhs Found a shaman in a diaper with a poppy pot When I asked if he was cold he said I just think hot

Ah uh Ah uh
Wmr: Out in hollywood the paper money rolls They feed their egos instead of their souls A million here, a million there A mindless corporate dance Gettin' paid for fuckin' off in the south of france
They don't do the shows But they act like the stars They fly around in g-4's and suck on big cigars It ain't about the talent It ain't about the skill It's all about the silly stupid horseshit deal!

I keep hearing that statistic about his use of air fuel, but should he take a rowboat to China? You didn't see the movie probably- and I'm not saying anyone's "obligated" to do so. The message, however, as far as I can tell was very calm: This is a legit problem (spends a whole bunch of time on that- demonstrating things are a indeed bit amiss) but w/ some adjustments in efficiency and other areas this is a problem that does not need to be a problem. His presentation is not a call to abolish jetliners as we know it or make everyone get out and walk to work. At best, you could call him a hypocrite w/o any other way to get his ideas out yet.
You make it personal (I guess as I'm doing w/ you right now) and miss the argument entirely- unable to weigh its merits. That last jab at 'ol Al for making that wacky statement that he invented the internet... check this out: http://www.snopes.com/quotes/internet.asp
But ignore all this, since you seem more interested in information from the "competitive enterprise institute" or the DCI Group- folks who like when they can get others to roll their eyes and dismiss new ideas.
When I first saw the goofy cartoon, it seemed like no "real" person would've spent the time to make something so dumb. I really hope whoever threw it together got to fleece that PR firm in "production fees" for something so silly- then at least something good would come out of this.
The "Digital Barbarians" are breaking down the other Great Wall in China- good news and good stuff. I always waanted to do something like host Triangle Boy- but now w/ this workaround maybe I won't have to.
THIS IS A BLOODY OUTRAGE!!!!! HOW DARE SHE?!!?!? How will the students access AIM and facebook during lecture without laptops? Laptops are a VITAL component of the college classroom experience. Good job, professor. Typing makes too much noise anyway
That's the wrong BPL. This BPL is about Broadband access through powerlines. In theory a darn clever idea, but a lot of obstacles apparently. Anybody with the know-how able to enlighten?

Stifling innovation- find out the Congress folks who pushed this legislation through and make sure their staff do a little "constituent services"

That's it for all the work? ROI ain't very favorable in this instance

Anyone know if this is possible (or if there is any group) working on this for WindowsXP-based Thinkpads?

BPL? I thought this stuff was all done and over with? Anybody able to clarify? (BTW, I RTFA)
These are some very interesting PNG images. Beautiful in a way and very messy/cluttered too.
Funny how this is a "feature" Long-time reader, first time poster. YEAH!
