Seems like there are more important things for the government to be doing rather than changing speed limit signs.
You mean Bill Gates is the enemy?
Welcome to Slashdot!
Any chance of providing a link. The site http://sc12.supercomputing.org/ doesn't appear to have downloadable papers.
I was probably about 4km east of you then. Cloud passed the sun with about 4 minutes to spare before totality.
Didn't get as many pics as I'd like as I was standing there in amazement trying to see if I could get my brain to believe what it was seeing.

Although there is an unjustifiable disparity for the common items they examined, it's even worse for specialist equipment.
E.g. I would like to purchase a large format printer to be able to print and sell my photographs. The price difference between the US and Australia is over 100% !
computeronline.com.au - $3645.00 inc GST
camerapro.net.au - $3,156.00 [Includes GST]
Although Australia is a smaller market than the US, and so there are higher stock costs and lower turnover, having something cost more than twice as much here as it does in the US is just ridiculous.

I can't believe that this is news to anyone. Do you really think that people who send marketing, information or run 'adult' services via SMS have a huge bank of mobile handsets with people sitting typing messages into them?
No - they have computers that connect to a bulk SMS supplier (e.g. the company I used to work for http://www.dialogue.net/sms_toolkit/) that allows them to send SMS with any Originating Address that they choose whether that's someone's phone, a shortcode or the name of the company.
Mobile phone operators do sometimes implement limits on what can be set for the O.A. for messages entering their network but there just isn't the infrastructure in place to authenticate what is set for the O.A. within the network.
