Considering how much of those crews are cheap labor from poor parts of the world, I doubt a crew of a dozen would make half as much as %30 of a large freighter's fuel costs.
Family? I guess that make sense. Ubuntu of the Debian Order, Linux Class, UNIX Phylum. I guess that would make the Genus the particular type (server/home), and the species it's version number.
Not fast enough for XP? I know the C7 isn't the fastest machine, but, I don't buy it. I ran XP on my PII-350 laptop with 300 some MB of ram for years without problem. I only upgraded for the luxury, really. If I'd just put in a flash blocker, I could still be happily browsing Slashdot and doing work on it. I suppose it's possible that a PII-350 could out preform a 1.7 ghz chip of a different architecture, but it dosn't seem likely, could anyone enlighten me here?
Thats ok, we keep two engineers in the intelligence room to take care of spies. Just watch out for big guys with chain guns that are glowing red or blue.
This fire threatened and destroyed a lot of areas that the people in the same economic siltation as the people in Louisiana. One of the things that really made this different then the 2003 fires was the more urban areas it hit. While they may be closer to the means to get out of that situation, there are many, many who still cannot. As I posted earlier, comparing this to Katrina is apples and oranges, but, there are still a lot of people here in need of help. The media loves to paint California like the whole place was one big resort, but it's all people like everyplace else. Some people chose to face that danger, while many others aren't given that choice. Remember, major agriculture isn't only going on in the middle parts of the country, and thats a lot of what was hit here, and there are a lot of the very poor who live there with it.
I would HOPE you could manage to improve your response in an area that still has power, water, sewage and transportation. I live in San Diego, I know people that have had their homes lost, but to compare this with Katrina and give themselves a pat on the back is absurd: the vast majority of the city and infrastructure of this county were completely unaffected. There were outages and near failures, but you didn't have to go far to get back to power, water, sewage and transportation. Heck, if you got tired of the evacuation site at Qualcom? The airport and cruse ship terminals were still open, just take a trip, or just hop on the trolley and go downtown for a nice dinner out. These fires have certainly devastated a lot of people's homes, I have a good freind that has nothing left but his car and a USB flash drive, but this hasn't been the sort of region wide crippling of the storm and floods of Katrina.
If one person is interested in something, there is a web page. If two people is interested in something, there is a news letter. If three people are interested in something, there is a magazine. If four people are interested in something, there is a convention.
Going 50 feet upwards takes the same energy no matter how you get there. Less so when you hoist it straight up with an efficient direct drive AC motor from a well maintained power plant then from an internal combustion engine. Without all the extra driving around, it's more efficient then having to park in a parking stricture, and FAR more efficient then having to drive around and find an empty spot.
I highly recommend you check out Demon Tools: just download the image from your favorite torrent, or rip it with another program, and be done with CD requirements. I buy a game, rip it to my drive, and put the disk safely away on my shelf never to be seen again. Plus not having to worry about which versions of a game are 'cracked' and keeping up with hacks is worth the few extra bucks in hard drive space.
If you do any sort of laptop gaming in down time on the road, or the occasional LAN party or such, I can't imagine being without it anymore.
It does install some sort of crap ware if you get the free version, but since I don't use IE, it doesn't much bother me, and you can just buy it and avoid that trouble, anyway.
I have said it before, and will say it again. If companies had got on the ball from the beginning, taken care of licensing concerns and charged REASONABLE rates for VOD ( nothing I have seen so far has led me to believe that every pair of eyeballs is really pulling in $2-4 in advertising revenue) they wouldn't be looking at a fraction of the piracy they see right now.
Maybe instead of those trailers that talk about how the men and women working on films are getting put out of work by pirates, they should start talking about how many are put out of work by GREED. They have really messed things up by only looking at technological progress as a way to extract even more money from consumers, rather then the boon for both it should have been.
Maybe she was trying to make a scene, in which, indeed, she should have all those charges brought against her. Or maybe she really did just make a mistake.. a dumb, careless mistake, but a mistake no less. Maybe charges are still necessary, but I sure as hell don't think you should be able to charge someone with crimes having to do with intent if she had no intent.
It's made by Northrup Grummen, which means it's much like the Microsoft one, but continues even more more proprietary, but antiquated parts and software, and costs about 100 times more.
The USSR made enormous contributions to the war effort, and just the same, the war likely could not have been won without them. Does that mean you think we should have given Stalin not just free reign, but our total support?
The "standard" is different in other countries too. It's 440 here in the US, but 444 in Germany for instance. Also, there is not a universal "right" frequency for a note. "In Tune" depends on the particular cord. Pianos and the like are tuned to a set of notes that works pretty well, but wind and string players will often adjust pitches to be in tune properly. I can't tell you much more of the technical specifics myself, but as usual, Wikipeida provides: Musical temperament

Not only that, but remember, there isn't an IQ test at the ballot.
Maybe we can't get all the best preforming at the best, but we can at least TRY to get the rest educated enough to not think that Ted Stevens is a computer genius before they fill out their ballot. Having an informed and educated populous is important part of democracy, and just saying "Well some people just are destined to only be ditch diggers, so why bother?" does a great disservice to all of us.
A while ago I had a bad run of accidentally running a few stop signs on the way to a freind's new house. Not just once or twice, but more then a half dozen or so times. I couldn't quite figure out why, I never run stop signs, and it's not like these were in a particularly awkward place or anything, they even had a bright flashing red light on top. Then it hit me.. after years of browsing the net, my brain automatically files 'blinking' with 'useless information'. And so the moment something blinking comes up, I just ignore it out of instinct.
So now that I am aware of it I take much more care to be vigilant of such things, and don't have that problem any more, but it does go to show that using annoying tactics might work once or twice, it will soon lead to having the opposite effect.
If they priced it -fairly-, absolutely I would. Of course, unlimited services would probably be best for people who share their connection with roommates and family, but for me? That'd be great, busy months I don't do much more then email and some light browsing at home.
There are a huge number of theater productions, many of which indeed considered "high art" that rely heavily on the actors, or even the audience in the flow and outcome of the work. I think I'd agree with the GP, there may not be any right now, but there COULD be high art video games. After all, one of the important compontents of modern art is changing context, it might just not be a GOOD game, but it could very well be good art.

No real off switch seemed to be the problem in so many Sci-Fi movies.
Leader: "My god, they have control of the system, shut it down!"
Lacky: "I can't sir, they are overriding me!"
Of course there often was a real switch somewhere, but it was often across a tight rope over a 200 foot deep pit filled with laser guided ninjas.

Yeah, how about us hippies that own Indian Music? A good Raga can be 45 minutes long. That and I will generally encode higher then 128 bits/second.
Count yourself as lucky, here it's too smoky to see more then the brightest stars, and thats an improvment over the last few days.

Police are not supposed to be lay-people, especially the ones working at an airport?
Uh, wouldn't that make it an invasive species?
