Sane supports network scanning, and after a quick google search I came up with this, assuming you want to scan from within a program. http://sanetwain.ozuzo.net/

I never really understood this. At any point the two parties will be exchanging the same amount of data - for every packet one sends the other will receive one packet. Does it really cost less to send a packet from A to B than from B to A? Why do you pay for data going in one direction but not the other?
If TCP is working properly there is not a 1:1 ratio of packets. To quote wikipedia "In computer networking, RWIN (TCP Receive Window) is the amount of data that a computer can accept without acknowledging the sender. " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP_Tuning#Window_size
I have two analogies for this, one of which is the mandatory car analogy. First lets pretend that you have heard about the new version of Ubuntu and decide you want to download a copy from my web server. When your computer connects to mine they negotiate a rwin value of 1MB that means if you download the 698.8MB image you would send 699 receive packets and I would send 488497 packets(698.8MB/1500B MTU for ethernet).
Now for the car analogy. If I purchase 30 cars from you I could send 60 people over to you in 30 cars which would give me a 1:1 traffic ratio. If I hire a charter bus for my 30 drivers I send 1 vehicle and get 30 cars.
Yes but by population, most citizens live under 65mph jurisdictions.
By my calculations (using my previous link, and wikipedia's list of states by population, and scalc) 17.3% of the United states population linve in a state with a 75mph limit, 46.57% live in states with a 70mph limt, 35.7% live in a state with 65mph limit, and.43% live in a state with a 60mph limit
In any case, 80 is still too fast for an inexperienced teen to be going. I wouldn't want my kid driving my car at the velocity. Would you?
I have children so I am not qualified to answer such a question, but instead of defining a set speed why not make it user configurable, I do not think 80 is an unreasonable limit in the 13 states with a speed limit of 75. It might be a little fast in Hawaii where the speed limit is 60, unless you are filming the next episode of Magnum P.I.
A better Idea, if we must limit the cars because we don't trust the operators, would be to have it ask the gps what the speed limit is and cap it based on that answer. I have seen people go way to fast in a residential area that would still be under 65mph.

I think the efficiency would depend just as much on what you are buying as it would on where you are buying it.
How would the purchase of a commodity be more efficient if I buy it locally as opposed to out of state? All of the products I see on Newegg are exactly the same as the ones I can see on the shelves of the local Micro Center, or Best Buy. Unless Micro Center and Best Buy are also manufacturing the items locally the product comes from the same manufacturing place as the items from Newegg, the only differences I can think of are which warehouses it sits in before I buy it
As it stands now, every other state has an unfair advantage over New York in the amount of the New York tax rate simply because the buyers do not pay Use Tax.
By that logic doesn't a New York company have an unfair advantage in the other 49 states?
If you have both DEs installed there should be a button on the login screen that allows for you to choose a session type. I am at work and Slackware 12.0 using KDM as the login manager has a button called menu on the lower right side of the login box. IIRC my laptop at home running Kubuntu has a picture of a menu with no text. I also have the option once I am logged in to switch users which will spawn a new X session on vt8, which brings up the login manager, and I can switch between my two sessions by pressing ctrl-alt-f7 and ctrl-alt-f8.
The one thing I've figured out, it's easy for money to flow up to people who have it, and there it appears to be very bad for the economy (unless the rich person throws a lot of parties and hires caterers and hookers--at least that keeps the money moving). But it seems REALLY REALLY hard to get money to flow down to the lowest levels where it would most quickly be placed back into circulation and do the best for the economy.
In other words, trickle down is the most retarded financial concept in history, but trickle up would work fantastically, it can't help but work.
Maybe I am missing something but I don't see much difference between trickle down and trickle up. You have already pointed out that money trickles to the top, and that the economy depends on the money flowing and not stopping at the top. I agree with both of those points.
From what I understand the theory behind trickle down is that if you remove some of the risk from reinvesting wealth. For example if you lower income taxes people get to keep more of the money they make, and those that make more save more. After lowering the taxes the business owners now have more money in their accounts then they otherwise would have with the previously higher tax rate. If that extra money is enough to hire another employee or more buy machines to make more product. when supply is increases prices tend to decrease. While the businesses are spending more the consumers are buying more(because they have the extra money as well), and if the added volume makes up for the money spent on new employee or machinery then the owner has more money and could potentially start the process over.
Another possibility is that after lowering taxes the amount saved does not allow the owner to invest in new employees or equipment but they do have enough to give raises to the employees. After receiving raises the employees are happier and supply increases possibly leading to more supply because the workers are happier.
The point at which trickle down stops working is when people start spending the extra money just because they have it, or can borrow it. Just like before when supply increases prices tend to decrease, In this case the supply of money is increased, so they businesses will either raise prices to make up for the excess money or segment the market buy selling a different version with a different price. This is what happened with the housing market, the economy was always growing so the banks could more easily lend money, and as potential buyers have more money the seller can charge more and thus the prices of houses start going up. As the prices start to rise there is more incentive for someone to buy a house that needs work to try and flip it buy fixing up the house and selling it again, creating demand and raising prices on the less desirable homes as well. Since flippers are taking out loans, and homeowners are taking out higher loans Prices continue to rise. When the prices in one area rise faster than other areas that is how you get the bubbles. Once you have a bubble you either have to slow the feed back loop until the rest of the economy catches up, or you let it burst and fall behind the rest of the economy for awhile.
I've tried to figure this out for years now, to no avail. I'm seriously considering taking a class on economics but I don't really trust that anyone fully grasps what is going on...
I am responding as a person who as taken one economics class in college, but from what I have learned is that just like the politicians have their parties, so do the economists.

Only when using Euclidean geometry, I get sqrt(1) using taxicab geometry, assuming radius measurements were taken using a car odometer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxicab_geometry
According to Google Bauhaus Books & Coffee(301 E Pine St, Seattle, WA 98122), and the startbucks located at 2200 Alaskan Way # 120, Seattle, WA 98121 are 1 mile apart but it would take 1.9 miles to drive between them.
Both of our calculations are based on the 1 mile figure being a radius,but measured differently, do you know how they measured? Would fifth graders know non-Euclidean geometry?
The fact that the kid gave him $10 and not the $100 noted on the sales receipt would not change what the drawer is supposed to total at the end of his shift.
X+10 = X + 100 -90.
Your math is correct, and assuming the totals matched at the end of the day it is just a simple mistake.
The only flaw I can see with you reasoning is if bills over a certain amount are stored in a different location. The Wendy's I go to for lunch regularly appears to drop $20 bills into a drop safe below the counter instead of in the drawer. I have also seen gas stations do something similar. If the store policy was to put $100 bills in a separate place than the drawer the drawer total would be correct if it was $90 short, because the $90 that is short combined with the $10 payment would be offset by the $100 bill in the safe.
I have little experience in this area so, would it be possible that the drawer and the safe are not counted together or that the safe is shared amongst several employees meaning any employee that received a $100 bill could be guilty.
I think you might be wrong, if I remember the movie correctly the east and west each had a wicked witch.

I have used butterfly ballots before, and I do not think that it is confusing at all. The biggest problem I could see is that people did not check their ballot before handing it in.
At the top of the ballot there should be two holes that go over the pegs on the machine to align the ballot( that is the stub they reference at the top of the card). If you look close enough at the machine each choice has a number on it which corresponds to a number on the ballot. When you are done voting you can remove the ballot and verify by hand that it is marked correctly. If you notice a chad that is not completely removed you can correct it before handing it in. In the event that you punch a spot incorrectly you can ask for a new ballot, and the bad one will be destroyed so you can try again.

If we are talking about the united states, this website seems to think that most states have a maximum over 65. http://www.iihs.org/laws/speedlimits.aspx
As of today, 32 states have raised speed limits to 70 mph or higher on some portion of their roadway systems.
