    Or so they can easily change the domain name without the expense of having to reshoot the commericial.

    So when they get one domain taken down, they just switch to a new domain name.

    I've wondered about what the scam behind these commericals were as well.

    Used webvan from their first month until their last weekend, when I lived in the Bay Area.

    My last delivery was complimented with a book on grilling, that I still reference to this day.

    As I recall, they lost money on every single delivery before they ran out of money.

    Their two biggest problems were:
    1. They bought enough trucks to service the whole Bay Area instead of ramping up as needed.
    2. They know they are going under; wouldn't you raise your prices to at least break-even? See which customers stayed and if there were enough, you might survive.

    I do miss not going to the grocery store.

    If you are logged in as the account that has administrator privs, then the secure desktop dialog ask for no password.

    That's why security admins such as yourself are really the joke.

    StorminMormin, ShatteredArm, question for ya...

    How many more points are you going to concede and still feel as if you are standing on solid religious ground?

    It seems to me that you continually try to spin the issues until you are cornered, and then you try and get out of it with a coy "I'll have to give you that one".

    And my prophet's teaching, Jesus, the words the man actually spoke, stand up today as well as they have every day since he spoke them.

    You pick and choose your prophet's teachings.

    And I'm not referring to the apostles or others. I'm talking about Jesus. Whether he is your Saviour or not, we do not have to go back and decide which of his teachings were perosnal opinions.

    Mormons, your two top prophets, not so much, eh?

    But you are greener.

    Are you putting up the solar to save money or save the planet?

    These are two very different goals.

    Is not paying the same amount of money a year but reducing your carbon footprint not a win?

    Zero sum gain cash flow + lower carbon footprint
    if you are trying to save the planet: winner!!!
    if you are trying to make money: loser!!!

    To force a metaphor, its like looking at the hands after the deal at a blackjack table.
    The first thing you have to decide is if your betting strategy will be based on beating the dealer's hand or the dealer breaking.
    So first decide, are you saving the planet or making money?

    Maybe the RoR gang, with their "The Rails Way" or the highway, are really worried about:

    1. Google using Python instead of Ruby.
    2. Google not drinking the DHH RoR koolaid.
    3. DHH et. al. quaking in their tiny little boots that "Google+Guido+Python3000+the webframework that BLOWS AWAY Rails" will finally put the buggy Rails framework in a coffin.

    Python blows Ruby away. Ruby survives commercially because it has Rails for simple web apps. Not scaling yet to play in the tall grass with the big dogs. Python is already there.

    And I guess Sun commmitting to make the JVM into a VM and guess what the next language will be....Ruby...WRONG.....Python


    Raise your hand if you think Google can build a better web framework than a bunch of egomanicial asshats.

    1. Walk through detector for both metal/explosives. Appendages like those found on drive through car washes "lick" the shoes.
    2. Carry on scanned same way, with automated "tongues" sampling the residue on the bags.
    3. KEY: Everyone, and I mean everyone, on board gets their own Taser. Its clipped into the seat in front of you, right next to the phone! Locked of course until released by the captain (or head flight attendant (the one with the dirty knees?? (had too))). These would be the newly developed "Taser in a shotgun shell" where the entire electronics package is delivered to the target, rather than the wires running from the gun to the target.
    4. Profit!!!!

    So you breeze through the detectors, which should catch 99% of the nasties coming through, and for the 1% they miss, you've got enough non-deadly force, non-going through the skin of the airplane causing explosive decompression, armed passengers to quell any threat.

    Worst case scenario would be a Taser battle in coach!

    I guess this is more of "an innovative use of existing technology" rather than "an innovative technology" other than the new "Taser in a shotgun shell", but it meets the criteria.
