The answer is not in the dictum of Marx nor in the Libertarian writings of
Rand, nor is it in the advances of science or medicine, because all of those
remedies fail to take into account the fundamental problem that underpins all
human suffering--the brokenness of the human heart. It is our condition as
children of this brokenness that leads us to seek procedural solutions to a
spiritual problem.
From what I've heard and read, the main factors in coffee flavor are
1)quality of the beans and 2)the freshness of the roast. Coffee has many and
very complex compounds that degrade quickly when exposed to air. I'm not
associated with this company, but if
you order some nice fresh coffee from them, you will definitely taste the
difference.
Of course I did not RTA but what about the looming problem of disposing of
all of these batteries? Methinks that the way to cut consumption of fossil fuels
as well as the emission of "greenhouse gases" is to encourage the following:
--to make as many jobs as possible work-from-home positions
--to use alternate human-powered (read bicycle) forms of transportation
I make use of both. My employer allows me to do most of work from
home and other times (weather permitting) I ride the 15 miles to and from so
sometimes, I only drive my truck a couple of times a week. A decent road
bike is only about $600 and a good hybrid/commuter bike is even less. Also
imagine the health benefits.
I have admired the almost Mac-like look of the Netgear routers and noticed that they were a 2005 gold winner. However, I'm not really crazy about Alienware design and they won a silver.
The Chicago crime map is especially cool. Thanks for passing the info along.
It's interesting to see how some crimes are localized (like narcotics) and others are randomly dispersed (motor vehicle theft). I'm sure that enforcement methods for narcotics is partially to blame, but it's interesting nonetheless.
6:30 AM -- Get up

6:32 AM -- Get coffee
6:35 AM -- Open Firefox, go to/. and read that there's a new patent infringment case
Seriously, what's it going to take for this patent situation to be fixed? Or maybe it won't since trial lawyers are the
#1 contributors to politicians.
I'd imagine that there are probably more entities than the OP realizes that would need this sort of sorting. I worked in a Fortune 100 retailer, in one of their 600 stores, which had 5000 individual transactions per day, with an average of 18-20 items per transaction. They routinely do data analysis on item movement, during what hours, bought in conjunction with what other items...blah, blah, blah.
You can do the math, but that's a lot of data at the corporate level.
Given the good enough performance and price ($5/month) of my Tivo, I just can't justify the time and effort. My brother-in-law (aka the King of DIY) made one and he is constantly wrenching that thing.
Users have to pay for each track they download, but sharing songs they've purchased from Peer Impact earns them credits they can spend on the service.
And how long will it take until someone figures out a way to manipulate the system to earn the credits without actually sharing? I can see it now--'You have 20,000,000 credits, which is enough to purchase 500,000 songs.'
Eventually someone will come up with a way to install OSX on any Intel processor. I can't wait to build my own Mac.
The news has to get out sometime

KOffice 1.4 Released

· Score: 4, Interesting
Sooner or later you would think that people are going to realize that the vast, vast majority of users can do without MS Office and its $400 price tag. I hope that it's sooner!
All kidding aside, when people are making a major announcement of this sort and doing a press release, why don't they make sure that they have the bandwidth and server capacity to handle the traffic?

The easiest things in the world to be are a critic and a cynic, and yet many of us wear it like it's a badge of honor.

Udderly shrugged.
The hits at the top of the charts lose sales, but the niche artists further down the popularity curve actually benefit from file-trading.
From each according to his abilities; to each according to his need. Lighten up--it's a joke!

I know how they make these: it's with this!

Actually, I had no idea it was that easy. Thanks.
Well, at least in 1984, they didn't have to worry about being /.ed. Coral anyone?
LOL--I work from home most days. But you're right...I do need to get a life.
This is what I do...EVERY DAY

Amen. I just can't spend my time on these clones of clones of clones anymore. When someone comes up with an original idea let me know.

Wow--looks like they've found a way to get paid from one customer for using another customer's bandwidth. Oh well...it's good work if you can get it.
When this fails to get enough recruits can the draft be far behind?

What's surprising to me is that Cray used to be synonymous with supercomputers and they now have comparatively few entries.
