This is different from a baloney or cold cut sandwich, how? Not to put too fine a point on it (but your "jackass/fucking" comment kind of took the edge off anyway...) I took baloney sandwiches to school nearly every day of my 6th, 7th, and 8th grade years. If it makes you feel better, replace "hot-dog" in the GP post with "baloney sandwich."
Back on topic, I don't care who said what, when my kids gets detention for eating candy at lunchtime it has gone too far! The guidelines are there for the school cafeteria so they don't just give my kid mac'n cheeze and ketchup every day of the week. They are not [strike that] should not, be for persecuting little kids for being little kids and bringing candy to school lunch. As was said, sure they are nutritionally less worthy then other foods, but you do need some sugars to live.
Anyway, am I the only person who actually read The Hobbit, thought it was a great book, read Lord of the Rings and thought it was good, if long-winded, and then absolutely hated the films?
Nope, your not the only one. I fall into this group also. I loved reading The Hobbit, but could hardly make it through The Lord of the Rings.
Basically, by jiggering the predicted cost of fuel (using gasoline as a baseline), versus, the exponent of increased energy efficiency costs, you can arrive at a number of scenarios where reducing greenhouse gasses actually doesn't pay for itself. If it pays anyone, it also pays the Chinese and the Europeans..
Yeah. Take that you dirty Chinese and Europeans! By god, we are going to keep our money. We may kill the planet and everything on it, but we will have our money! (o.k. snarkyness aside) I don't see how this argument helps anything. Are you saying that there are better ways to cut down on greenhouse emissions and still keep prices low?
In any case, most models show that even a rather dramatic altering of CO2 emissions will not alter the course of climate change for a minimum of 200 years. Even if we stopped now, the glaciers are still going to melt. The CO2 is already in the air.
So it's better we don't do anything and just let the poor SOB's 200 years from now deal with it? Something needs to be done, and that something needs to start now. If that means we need to take baby steps to get all of the conservitive groups in on it, then so be it, but at least we are doing something!
I don't understand the physics behind the answer, but yes... photon A can never see photon B traveling away from it at a speed greater then light speed. It has to do with time being dilated for an observer on photon A or B. Light speed is the upper limit that any observable object can travel. Once in your light cone, always in your light cone.
The thing that will really blow your mind, is that an observer from the stationary point (C) sees both of the photons traveling away from it a the speed of light.
The difference being that my phone and power have a specified up-time (that might even be set by government mandate, I'm not sure) that is much higher then my ISP uptime.
Most small to medium businesses that I know of use consumer grade DSL or cable connections that are notorious for going out weekly for minutes or hours, and yearly for a day or more.
Call me paranoid but with the current economic climate the world of "Mad Max" is looking like a possible eventuality, and the regular books will be useful far longer into that period than an ebook.
Your ideas intrigue me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.:)

If Intel pulls AMD's license AMD is all but destroyed. However, I see a huge monopoly case being brought to court very quickly after any such turn of events.
Intel has no true competition in the x86 market other then AMD. A point that no small amount of layers are more then willing to point out to the right judge.
I don't know what elderly people you work with, but none, I repeat, none of the people I work with have every known how to shut down or reboot Vista without me explaining.
MS has hidden the Shut Down and Reboot options under a very small, and unassuming button with a triangle on it in the very lower right of the menu. The Sleep button is the big, red button with the power symbol on it.
I know anecdotal evidence and everything; but your test fails for Vista on every user I have worked with.
I understand your points. However, I counter your entire post with this fact from the parent:
We didn't come up with a government program to give money to old people just because we wanted to get rid of the existing charity system. We did it because the old system was wholly inadequate and the social costs of an impoverished and unable to work segment of society (which we will all one-day join) was considered intolerable.
To paraphrase: Historically, we did not make new laws and systems to distribute resources because the current ways worked.
If I understand your post, you would have us return to the old ways that have been proven to not work... I don't understand the logic.
I am so impressed with this single post that I going to cut and paste this into an email to a couple of friends. If this falls from a 5, mod it back up!

I don't have any mod points right now (it would not matter anyway, this post is already at +5), so I must state my agreement in a reply.
I also judge a living entity that must be treated ethically by these standards. Yes, that entails that a number of household pets, barnyard and wild animals also meet this criteria with me.
I also agree with the parent, in so much that the fetus is not a "living entity" until around week 22-26, but for a different reasoning. At approximately weeks 22-26 is the earliest a fetus can be successfully delivered and have any chance of life outside the womb. The ability to survive without a host is what I consider as the defining point of life.
Another point that I believe alienates me from making an informed decision either way in this debate is that I am a male, and I do not have a uterus. I will never know what is is like to have another human growing inside me. How can I force my opinion of a life altering event onto someone else when I will never be able to fully understand what it means to be in that position?
I quote from the parent "The bigger moral concern is the emotional well-being of the mother."
In all, CTachyon stated my opinions more eloquently the then I ever could.
The reason it's so difficult to fix a windows system is because you are encouraged to not understand it. This is exactly why I do clean installs when users have Windows problems. If it is not a problem that can be fixed in the first half hour then However, the problem is also exacerbated by malware. If I could go into msconfig and find all boot start programs, or even if I had to use msconfig and look in HKLM\...\run and find *all* programs that start on boot I would not have this problem. Microsoft, and malware writers, have done their best to hid all of the different areas in the file system to hide their programs.
This on top of the fact that is sometimes difficult to Task Manager to track down memory hogging applications. Lately I have been using Process Explorer to find resource intense programs, but when Windows reports incorrect RAM usage to use Process Explorer... it just ends up easier for me to save off the users profile and reinstall from scratch.
So far we have ONLY found life on one planet-- We also lack the ability to see any such planets in any other system besides our own. Right now our best telescopes can only see Jupiter sized extra solar planets. As we have only one system to look within for another Earth like planet, and we have not found one, your statements fall short of being a definitive truth on the matter of life on other planets with Earth like conditions.
While we have theorized that not all of those are needed, the truth is that we haven't found so much as a single primitive cell anywhere else. And we haven't found one single location in the entire universe with all five save for our home planet. I submit that this is true. However, if you see my above comment you will see that I will keep an open mind on the matter until such time as we have found and explored a number of non-Sol system planets with Earth like conditions.
Programmer's File Editor is a freeware text editor targeted particularly to the needs of software programmers. It was written by Alan Phillips of Lancaster University in the north of England.
Development of Programmer's File Editor ceased in 1999, but the program is still in use by some programmers.
True, but the [expensive] infrastructure to provide the ad stripping and replacement will already be purchased and in place. It would be a huge oversite to let those resources sit idle. So, they will continue to strip and replace on any content they can get their hands on. As content moves to SSL they just don't have to keep all of the servers stripping ads and can start re-purposing some of that power. Maybe the could make them into SSL proxies! Yeah!

In a corp. environment; I totally agree with this statement.

oh, and here are two more from last year or so:
Link (some on the "Deathstar" but not the main focus of the article.)
Link (Almost nothing on the hardware specs.)
It's old: May 18, 2006 But here is a URL to details on the ILM "Deathstar" http://www.tomsguide.com/us/lucasfilm-amd,review-713.html
Of course. Any action forced at gunpoint - or other threat of punishment from a force-wielding body - should be granted amnesty.
Then the telcos don't have anything to worry about when they plead their case in front of a court of law.
Damn I wish I had mod points!!
