While doing work for some telecom companies down in Brazil I ran into this because evidently (depending on province) they pass a resolution each year determining when to start DST and when to come off, usually planning around holidays and the whims of people in those positions. They have suggested dates, but they sometimes vary from year to year.
For most *nix systems, look in/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo for zone definition files. If you're lucky (or have Solaris), there's a src directory in there.
You'll find a README file with a reference to a place with updated zone files].
On the other hand you could try to roll your own like I did for Belo Horizonte and edit the rules in one of the source files (I would think "northamerica" for the US;)
Do a man zic for more info on compiling and then distributing to other systems.
Unlike Social Security numbers, which are on many public documents that have been scooped up for years by data brokers, the only repository of telephone call records is the phone companies.
Larry Lessig hardly makes any appearances these days without asking GNUsters, penguinistas, and suits to spend about as much money supporting organizations which work for greater openness as they do on Comcast, Disney for the kids, Verizon Wireless for your phone, and other products and services offered by the copyright cartel.
* Batch jobs -- Users can use the mpsub command to run the batch jobs in which a single executable is forwarded by the Grid MP system to run on a single remote desktop.
* MPI jobs -- Users can submit MPI jobs using the ud_mpirun command. The system selects a set of desktop machines and coordinates the initiation of the MPI application across this set of machines. Currently, MPICH and LAM/MPI are supported.
* Data-parallel jobs -- The platform supports coarse-grained parallelism for large jobs that can be decomposed into several independent pieces. Developers can create application scripts to work in conjunction with application executables to implement a data-parallel solution. These applications can then be hosted on the Grid MP and provided as application services available to users.
It is a matter of economy of scale; these books are going for about two years worth of gasoline. If you read a book a day this offer will keep you going for nearly three years. If it is a book a week, then we are looking at 20 years, not taking in account any re-reading.
Many people spend this amount of money and time over and over again on their library. One would not think a second time about buying a subscription to a magazine to save on individual issues; these are just books instead of magazines.
In this day and age one has to think about their ROI (return on investment), and if you calculate the time that you can take to enjoy these books if is a fraction of what most entertainment costs today.
I my self have quite a few Penguin Classics from back when they had the monochrome orange and white covers. I figured they may be valuable one day. Now I see the true value is in their being read.
A small caution is that they do have not really duplicates but different versions or translations of some works as "The Iliad" by Homer has four different books:
ISBN: 0140445927
ISBN: 0140275363
ISBN: 0140444440
ISBN: 0140447946
The write-up for this article is incredibly misleading. Google patenting certain things does NOT mean that they use that to rank websites. Perhaps they plan to in the future, or maybe they just want to throw off the competition.
Do you really think they would give away their best secrets in a patent that the public can view? C'mon, let's give them some credit.
And getting ranked in Google isn't that hard...it's staying there. Until they fix the 302 redirect problems, canonical linking problems, scraper site problems, and others, the focus should not be on what they look at, but on how to keep your site free of Google-errors.

I use Nucleus for my blog - have yet to find a negative for it.

Zonk posted it, and I can't find a dupe for it. What the hell's going on here?!
Can someone please find me the dupe? I'm freaking out, man...

Intermix Media owns 30 companies besides MySpace, so it's misleading when people say "MySpace isn't worth $580 million."

So they'll send everyone the movies over the internet, making it easier to upload them to P2P programs?
Brilliant!
By releasing them earlier, everyone can get them illegally earlier, and DVD sales will really plummet.

Trusted companies spying...who'da thunkit?
Why would anyone read about wikitorials when they can watch The Sandlot on ABC Family?!
they'll have even worse customer support, lose more of our money, and piss of EVERYONE?
Can't wait!!!
Not that hard to see why we like movies at home.
Home: My wife gets my popcorn and drink for me
Theater: I get my popcorn and drink for myself
Home: I use my own bathroom
Theater: I use a scuzzy bathroom
Home: I bootleg the movies from the web
Theater: I pay for the movies
C'mon...this isn't rocket science.
Now accountants will charge you the same price to look over your tax forms instead of filling them out themselves.
