Just to be a bit pedantic, a jury isn't required for criminal trials. The court is required to bring in a jury if the defendant requests one, but the defendant is also allowed to give up their right to a trial by jury and have the case decided by just the judge instead. In some cases, it's easier for the defendant to convince a judge than it is to convince even a single juror. It's also pretty common in misdemeanor cases where it simply isn't worth the time and money to bring in a jury.
The self-install kit includes a router/wireless access point. The "wireless" part doesn't refer to the connection from your home out, just from your computers to the router. From the FAQ:
Does my net access have to be wireless?
Not necessarily, but our user studies have found that without wireless connectivity, there was considerable "commode congestion" in an average 2.5-person household whose one bathroom typically can provide a comfortable workspace for just one user at a time. We therefore strongly recommend using the wireless connection to alleviate potential multi-user congestion and encourage widespread "couch computing."
We in Massachusetts have been observing this day long before a certain President co-opted the name to add a bit of jingo to the commemoration of a certain day in September.
It's also a state holiday in Maine, which was part of Massachusetts until 1820. That should be another good hint about how long ago the holiday was created.
For moderate red-green color blindness like I have, it's not really a major problem. I can tell the difference between red and green traffic lights (green actually looks like very pale, almost white), though sometimes I have some trouble with the red and yellow lights. I actually don't even think about seeing anything color, since I've never been able to correctly identify most colors anyway. People will say to me "See that blue thing over there?", and I'll just give them a blank stare in return.
Something I probably should have mentioned in my first post, to make it a bit more on topic, is that I doubt these glasses could help correct color blindness issues. They'd have to be able adjust certain frequency ranges by varying amounts, the goal being to shift the sensitivity range of the red curve back to where it should be.

I think that may be the eeriest typo I've seen in a long time.

I'm red-green colorblind, and I can tell the difference between those images. The colors in the second one look lighter and faded compared to the first one. Here is a page that has the Ishihara test patterns. Here is another page that has more detailed information. As a point of comparison, the two pictures of flowers about half way down the page (subtitled "red-insensitive dichromat") look very nearly identical to me.
The difference in this case is that (in theory) DoubleClick actually has an income right now, so Microsoft (in theory) knows about how much money they'll make from DoubleClick.
Are you subscribed to the Secunia security mailing list? A good 1/3 - 1/2 of them are flaws in PHP applications with widespread installation bases. That says something about the language
That it's easy enough to learn that complete idiots can write crappy code in it? A bad programmer will write bad code in any language that you put in front of them. PHP just happens to be one of the few languages that's simple enough that the aforementioned idiots can write code that works (for varying definitions of "works"). Programming languages can only do so much to promote security before the non-idiots complain that the language won't let them do something that they need to do.
Just a guess, but maybe because Samsung didn't feel the need to create a media circus around their new product? It's not like Samsung hasn't made phones before.
I can't really speak for anything else, but I don't see why people would watch stuff from the Colbert Report on YouTube. Comedy Central's website has about 95% of each episode (I don't know if they bother with the intro and tag) available for free anyway.
but I do know he has something called a VETO which is pretty damned hard to override if he had used it.
Not hard to override at all when the opposing party has the majority in Congress. It only takes a 2/3 vote to override a veto.
From Wikipedia:
Passed on October 8, 1998 by a unanimous vote in the United States Senate and signed into law by President Bill Clinton on October 28, 1998
Okay, so maybe the Republican majority didn't really matter in this case. Clinton could have vetoed the bill, but it would have been a not-even-token gesture. You'd have better luck and make a larger statement flipping off an oncoming 18-wheeler.
The Conservative and Reform branches have been ordaining women for quite a while now (Reform a fair amount longer). As far as I know, Orthodox still only ordains men.
but the organism in question is female & reproduces asexually.
Just out of curiosity, and maybe the article which I'm too lazy to read this early in the morning answers this question already, how can an organism that reproduces asexually be considered female? Are there also males of the species that can't reproduce at all? If there is no gender division in the species, does it really make sense to assign all organisms an arbitrary gender?
instead of seeing interspecies evolution between animals.
Maybe I'm not getting what you mean by "interspecies evolution", but by the very definition of species, two organisms of different species cannot produce fertile offspring, and the ability of two different species to produce even infertile offspring is pretty damned rare.
Last I heard, she's "following" Kabbalah. And no, that doesn't make her Jewish, so don't take it out on us. I've had a rabbi that described Kabbalah as a whole lot of really strange stuff that even she could barely make sense of.
Question 3 (corresponding objective: 1.a.10) A technician is asked to troubleshoot a residential network that reported no problems yesterday. Today, the user's computer is not able to communicate with any of the other networked devices. Which of the following should the technician check FIRST? A. Power supply to the network devices B. Operating system for viruses C. System resources used by the network interface cards D. Protocols installed on the system
"AJAX" is just some JavaScript code which passes XML back and forth from the server and changes the current page according to it.
"AJAX" is some JavaScript code that sends an HTTP request to the server and receives a response (normally available in both plain text and XML/DOMDocument formats). It doesn't inherently send XML to the server, though you can certainly send XML as part of the request if you want. Any changes made to the page are done through DOM objects/methods and are completely independent of AJAX.
This is the school that for years had the Budweiser song as the unofficial school song. They'd play that song before football games and the entire stadium would shutter from tens of thousands of people stomping their feet in time to the music and at the end yelling, "When you say Wissss-con-sin. You've said it all!"
They still do at hockey games. Actually, University of Maine did a very nice job of stealing the idea, and the pep band still plays it immediately after the school song before and after hockey games.
What was the topic supposed to be again? Oh yeah, RIAA bad!
But those benefits require that people that drive Hummers in suburban Boston actually understand why those things are good and care enough to stop driving a Hummer in suburban Boston. It's also easier for the media to write headlines about how "We're All Gonna Die!" than about advances in nuclear technology that yield greater energy with less waste and an exceptionally small probability of some kind of damaging accident.
