To even get involved in these races, the egos have to be enormous. As reality sets in over the coming months, however, the VP slot starts to look like a viable option. A Dean/Clark combo has some interesting balance to it, that could present a formidable challenge to Bush/Cheney. While I haven't come even close to picking a favorite candidate, I do have to admit that Dean is by far the most interesting and compelling I've seen amongst the Democrats. They just seem to be a mixture of hapless retreads (Gephardt, Lieberman, Kerrey) and hopeless blowhards (Sharpton and Mosley-Braun)...
They should just release a new printing of the books, and call it "The Author's Cut."
As for myself, I've probably read LOTR 15 times or so, and have been blown away with how good a job they've done with the films. Sure, there are things to complain about (I'll reserve my judgement on the whole Faramir thing until I see the extended DVD this fall), but by and large Jackson took on a monumental task and succeeded admirably.
Ouch, the graph shows that SCO dropped ~15% since that news broke.
Yeah, they're only up about 1000% on the year! Seriously, though, stock price isn't a great indicator of SCO's fortunes - there is so little stock available to trade (7.5 million float, over 60% held by insiders and institutions) that it doesn't take much wind to blow this thing up or down.
Renaissance thought it sounded like SCO's bottom line was about to get "prettier" because they believed what SCO reportedly told them in that phone call, namely that most companies were reacting to the new SCOsource licensing program in a positive way.
And according to recent SEC filings, wasn't it revealed that the only SCOsource licensing revenue they got last quarter was from Sun & Microsoft? Hardly a raving endorsement from the marketplace...
Mass transit??? Pushing people around costs a lot more than pushing packets, my friend. Most public transit systems get only a portion of their revenue from fees, and must also get support through the general tax fund (which is well worth the investment in reducing traffic and pollution).
That's why when my wife and I had to get a new TV (to replace an ancient 27" model that gave up the ghost), we thought about what would make a nice step up, but not bust the budget. We ended up getting a 32-inch flat screen for about $500, and couldn't be happier.
While not up to the standards of HDTV, just the fact that this set took component inputs coming out of our satellite system rather than just coax meant a major upgrade in picture quality, not to mention the larger, flat screen. Sometimes, a relative improvement is every bit as satisyfing as getting something on the cutting edge...
What I am suggesting is that these links become a standard element in an article - such standards would naturally be maintained by the editors...
The editors are the ones who determine what the articles look like when they show up on the site, so in that sense, they are the responsible party. That's what being an editor means (at least in the real world).
Somebody should take you outside and severely beat you with a clue stick...
Is there anything in the article about illicit material being transmitted? Uh, no. It's about network management. And I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who isn't signing up for broadband strictly because of download caps. What's the alternative? Going back to dialup???
Personally, I think voice recognition is the way to go for situations like this. Granted, there still remains a great deal of work to improve recognition and user interface, but in the long run "writers cramp" will be a thing of the past...

Who cares? I could submit an anti-RFID article that references a report from the Weather Channel, and it would get posted here!
Now all we need is a "Microsoft rolling out RFID initiative in partnership with SCO" and things will really start humming...

That's a great idea - but what about adding RFID sensors and face-recognition technology?

Actually, since most keyboards have ALT & CTL on both sides of the spacebar, it's quite easy to do a one-handed three-finger salute...
Yeah, Linux users may attend free, but then on their way out Darl will try to charge them $699, claiming that somebody else gave away the admission...

Hey, it's only fair for Amazon to try and take on Google. After all, Google's trying to do the same thing to them!
Besides which, there's no such thing as short-selling by using options! That's like "walking to the mall by car," or something...

They need to put airbags on those things - someone could get hurt!
Read Paper Lion.
And then watch the Lions on Sunday, and realize that Plimpton could probably play on this team now...
boo, hiss... that didn't rhyme!
"If my ears hear right those awful hollers
are coming from annoying callers."
or something like that...

That reminds me of the screen setup for the old Atari 400 & 800 computers (I got a 400 for Christmas when I was a wee lad)...
I've reconfigured my Client Access sessions in that color scheme, and people look at me like I'm nuts!

see... exactly my point! The editors should be on top such things...
With any luck, the editors would start putting links like this into the articles themselves.
*SMACK*
That is, when they're not too busy submitting dupes without checking for messy details like facts, grammer, spelling, etc.

Gee... pretty glib, but what's your point?
Oops - forgot that AC's don't have points *rimshot*.
