Money has been pissed away to bring broadband to the US because at one time people saw the utility of it. Someone is now looking into why it never materialized but the checks were cached.
Well there is the problem. Had they cashed the checks, instead of caching them, we might actually have some good broadband throughout this country.
Exactly. For starters, what do they care about my parents and family? Especially if I am an adult with parents that have been dead for years? I was also confused because towards the beginning it said items with gray backgrounds are optional, yet I see a "required signature" with a gray background....
My local Best Buy uses a single queue as well. When the cashier is printing the receipt either they or the check-out supervisor sends a person to them. By the time they get there they are ready to be checked-out.
Your "couple of servers" probably doesn't meet the criteria for counting in this case:
I work at a F100 company and we have two data centers which are larger than 500sq/ft and house at least 100 physical boxes and a couple SANs each, yet the company/IT doesn't count them as part of their normal data center strategy. If you asked global IT if we had data centers at our site, they would say "nope".
Why MUST you use the mouse on the left? I am "left handed" (write, bat, eat, throw, etc left handed), but by no means do I force myself to use such a backwards interface. For example, when I started to play string bass in 4th grade I asked if there was a "left handed way"..nope. So there it was, I learned to play bass like everyone else and it never felt unnatural. When I used a computer the mouse is on the right, when I ride a motorcycle the throttle is on the right, when I drive a car the gas is on the right.
"Lefties" that force themselves to do everything the opposite of a "righty" are no more wrong than people not "taking lefties into consideration".
If we are just a licensee, then that means they can't sue for intelectual property theft. It went from 'breaking and entering' charges to 'trespassing'.
HDR looks so unreal even if at times aesthetically pleasing. Their "more real" filter didn't do the scene much justice too. Was the guy supposed to look that way?
The video was not very good at all, so I'm not sure why it is a big deal. The video of the guy was more HDR than any other part, though it was very strange.
is a set of techniques that allow a greater dynamic range of luminances between the lightest and darkest areas of an image than standard digital imaging techniques or photographic methods.
And their picture is a great example. If you expose the building well, the clouds are washed out. If you expose the clouds well, the building is dark. If you take pictures of both equally exposed then merge the photos, you now have a properly exposed building along with a properly exposed sky giving thus giving you more dynamic range. Think of it like instead of going to the lunch buffet and cramming everything into one plate, you go up to the buffet three times with three plates: one for salad, one for main course and one for dessert. With a little processing (trips) you end up with more range (food variety).
You AGREED to it when you signed up to vote. That is where they pull jury choices from Voter records.
While I have always thought this, this is not true. I received a jury duty notice (so did my wife) years before we actually registered to vote. I was around 20 years old when I received my first notice and did not register until I was about 26 years old.
You don't consume internet access, you consume content. Since ISPs don't provide content, they shouldn't charge based on "usage" but how fast you want to go. The same amount of bits will traverse the network no matter what.
A 20,000 USD projector and 300 chairs is not a "conference room", that is an auditorium/event space which has a much higher budget to begin with. Also, 20,000USD will get you a sweet Christie projector, which BTW, has VGA inputs.
Sure, if money wasn't a concern digital would be the way to go, but when you have 10,000-15,000 to spend on all audio/visual equipment for a 30 person conference room, good-bye digital. For your run of the mill conference room that is showing PowerPoint all day long, there is nothing wrong with a 1,500 USD NEC 3,000 ANSI lumen projector receiving it's signal over 5 wire MHR cable.
If 90%+ of the computers used in a building are VGA and 90% of the modern projectors you buy today have VGA, it only makes sense to use VGA as the interconnect. Especially since VGA (5 wire RGBHV) is the only computer video signal cable you can pull unterminated through a 150' of 3/4" pipe without amplification and still get a perfectly usable 1024x768 signal out of it after you slap some mini high-res connectors on it.
I would love to go digital at work (I'm the on-site AV guy which has supported 100+ conference rooms for 7 years) but it would first require IT to convert every laptop in the company to one with a displayport/hdmi port and then for me to figure out how the heck I'm going to get that digital cable through 50' of conduit in all of my conference rooms.
Didn't happen to be the software that Babbages/Software Etc use to run? I worked there for 8 years (till 2005) and when I left they were still using a DOS based POS solution.

He allegedly handed out materials at school, not just post it on Facebook. Pretty big difference IMO.
We have had Zebra printers forever, about time we can scan what we print.

So what do you call a contractor that has their tools provided by the client?

Best Buy and the DMV doing something logical?!?!
VGA will live for a LOOOOONG time. It's great for many many reasons:
You can make custom length cables with RGBHV cable
It supports up (if not higher than) 1920x1080
If one of the legs drops (RGB) you still have a signal
It goes FAR greater distances than DVI or DisplayPort
You can pin covert it to run on various cables (CAT5, RG6x5, etc)

I said string bass. A bass guitar is not a string bass (aka bass viola, upright bass, contra bass, double bass, etc).
Why MUST you use the mouse on the left? I am "left handed" (write, bat, eat, throw, etc left handed), but by no means do I force myself to use such a backwards interface.

Really? I thought this one was done quite well: http://www.flickr.com/photos/d5kshots/4975115941/in/pool-hdr#/photos/d5kshots/4975115941/in/pool-89888984@N00/

Take a look at some of the HDR photos on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/groups/hdr/pool/. They give much better and proper example of HDR.
Wiki explains it well:

Gaffer tape is far superior in just about every way.

Wow, this percentage is the same as /. articles! Well, at least I assume - I haven't read the article.

Looks like a 2nd NSCS supercomputer located in China is in the top 10. Does that make it "Chinese"?
