Going to Mars is a great idea and the next obvious step after the Moon. However, the ideal time to do it just passed, so getting to Mars (and back) is getting harder and harder with each passing day.
It all depends on your employment contract. Like other benefits they differ from company to company and in this climate they're getting stingier.
Cisco granted money upon filing, money upon grant, provided you were still with the company when it gets granted. Ditto for the plaque as well, I think.
I heard about that film for nearly twenty years before it was released. Drove me crazy. Finally saw a copy and am disappointed that it's subtitled. Harumph!
Gnome is an alternative to CDE already provided in Solaris 9. And Sun has already committed herself to providing "Mad Hatter" [productivity apps that interoperate with M$FT apps] on Solaris. Sparc at least. Still no official word on Solaris x86.
Duluth Trading is the schnizzit in the schnizzle, but that bag is "too big" for everyday use - you'll stuff it full of paper and start walking with a list.
Get yourself a manpurse. They're sometimes called a "satchel", a "kit bag" or a "courier['s] bag". Put your technology in it. Add a few other things from your pockets such as your cellphone and the big Swiss Army Knife as well. Then get used to carrying it. You'll look better, honest.
I got mine for under ten bucks at a local swap meet. It has slots that fit PCMCIA cards, a big pocket for my Newton MessagePad 2100, pen/pencil/stylus holders and a good spot for flat documents. On vacation it doubles as a camera bag, and of course the cell phone pocket on the strap means never having to figure out which pocket I put it in.
It's not Apple that's opposed, it's Jobs. And you must remember that the Newton team is long gone from Apple. Many went to Palm and set their sights much lower.
Of course they could, but one of the good things about the Newton was the quality (size) of the display.
Bigger is better - anyone who tells you otherwise doesn't have much to bring to the party.
Newt 2x00s are quite cheap now, and can be had on your favorite auction site. I ditched my Palm a year ago in favor of a like-new 2100 and have been a happy MP user since. Lots of web resources, an ATA driver exists so you can use CF in a carrier for storage, ethernet cards are old hat and there's even a 802.11 driver for the WiFi crowd.
Since when has the digital version of an analog consumer product been cheaper than the original? Digital is whizzy, and a chance for the manufacturers to charge more, as the first adopters pay the cost of tooling up and the follow-on crowd gets to pay the established high price while the content providers rake in the dough.
Is it cheaper to:
press a cd or dvd
slowly copy a video or audio tape from a master
They'll lock you into a magic proprietary format which will break at the most inopportune time and you won't be able to sell them to others. Just say no. High book prices is one of the costs of college.
Peoples, not necessarily mammals. But given that we're mammals, yes, but only that far.
More study is also needed into what kinds of people [caucasian, asiatics, or ??] were amongst the immigrants and how many waves of immigration there were. Getting that data is a lot more dicey, but if we pay close attention to things as they de-ice, we could end up with a bonanza like the Ice Man they found in the Alps a few years back.
Violence against men is not only socially acceptable, it's damn funny. Nothing funnier in a sitcom, a reality tv show or a "funniest videos" clipshow than some man getting a shot to the nuts.
Foo on you clicky keyboard people - the feedback helps to blow out your fingers. Get a DataHand key"board" and your hands will forgive you for the years of abuse you've heaped on them. I own two and will give them up when you pry them from my cold dead hands.... Currently they're PS/2 USB via a cheapo converter from Fr*'s.

Too bad Beard didn't bother to find out that there was an extant vocabulary for such pillow-talk.
Fi fi fi sentaguloj. Ho ve!
Kial? ^Car ili estas santaguloj, ja! Se oni ne konas io, do oni devas moki ^gin.
I studiously avoided the subtitles. Will have to give it another viewing!
Try asking Shatner if he speaks Esperanto.

GNOME is their CDE alternative on Solaris. I imagine that staying with it is a way of guaranteeing consistency.

What's not to love?
Now where have I seen this before? And what's that thing I carry around with me everywhere I go?
It's a billboard, not a ticker. Think 16:9.
'Tis better to be monocular than dead.

Which the pilot walked away from.
Now, if we had rigid yet amorphous materials, we could make a lifting body that didn't always have fins and separate control surfaces.
Shhh!

I guess you haven't gotten any of the political spam [all rabid right-wing, btw] that I've been seeing in my inbox since before the '00 election.

No, it isn't:
If you wash your car to make it rain, it will not rain, even though it normally rains right after you wash your car.
