Don't you hate pants?

Is that a nuke in your sidecar, or are you just happy to see me?

No, but I did throw a rock and it went right where the convergence point was... it was cool.

I've often wondered why I "see" spinning disks (as the article described) when on road trips or on hot days. It's very odd to explain, the best analogy I could come up with was a "Video game style targeting system"... But seeing it explained as a hallucination makes sense.

Well, it doesn't have much to do with "Your Rights Online" ;)

I get the same giddy enthusiasm that I got back in the '80's with the Voyager.
But that is a very interesting question about which direction they would fly.
I would venture they might take tradewinds/jet stream into account, perhaps some thermal updrafts too, over merely following the sun.

GV uses data service. If you're mobile, it's sending over 3G/EDGE. At home it uses wifi. My usage statement last month showed 245MB data usage Vs only 9 minutes of airtime used. That was for calls that came to my cell phone directly, that didn't dial my GV number.

I use google voice, over wifi while at home.
If you have T-Mobile and a blackberry device, you have use UMA over wifi as well.

I fit into this category. I was taking summer school at the local community college so that I could take AP classes the follow school year.
In California, we have an exam called the High School equivalency exam. I took this test at 16, and by the time I was 17 I was a college freshman.

On top of that, the school I went to was on the trimester system, so I had a Bachelors of Science by the time I was 20.

My HS classmates at that time were probably in their second year in college by that time.

I would have greatly appreciated having the opportunity to "Walk" with graduating class that year (or what would have been my year), it sounds like this plan would allow over-achievers like myself to have the best of both worlds.

Furthermore, googling around for RG6 to RJ45 yielded some results.

Network Video Technologies makes adapters that go from coax to rj45

Just wanted to clarify that Ethernet refers to a standard, not a cable. You can have ethernet over UTP, coax, fiber, etc...

If the coax in your walls is RG6, that's probably better than Cat5.
Homes with Fios or UVerse have nifty little coax to rj45 boxes that allow for the home networking setup.

That's actually pretty funny. Mod up!

As an IT professional, I have a different view on the matter.
1) We all know that the vast majority of security incidents occur from within an organization
2) If you're looking at data, and 1 sample is far beyond the standard deviation, you toss out that 1 data point.
3) If you don't follow manufacturers requirements, you do not get support, and YMMV with that equipment.
4) You use unique ID numbers to associate different data entries

What does this have to do with Landis?
1) The time stamps on the datafiles used in the case against him have differing creation dates and modification dates. This was after the initial red flag went off
2) The SOP for the T/E test specified that a sample outside the standard deviation of 4 was unacceptable. Landis sample B was 14:1... Had they been following their own SOP, they would have tossed this result as erroneous
3) The computer used to interface with the lab equipment ran OS/2, but the manufacturer of the lab equipment had only certified the machine against Windows.
4) The samples used in the case against Landis had a different ID number than Landis.

This whole case just illustrated the level of incompetence at the lab. To this day, I wholeheartedly believe that Floyd Landis won the 2006 TDF. Not because I'm naive, but because the case against him was so flawed. Had this been held in a US Criminal court, it would have been thrown out. But the WADA doesn't follow a typical court model, nor does the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

In regards to the stage in question. Landis was one of the first to race with a power meter, not just in training, but in the race. He had realtime numbers on his wattage output. He was able to determine that his effort was within his limits based off his training. Also, he used a huge quantity of water, but only drank a small portion of it (this is shown on the footage). He actively worked to keep his core temperature down by pouring something like 14 water bottles over himself.

I remember a few months ago, the polls started getting all simplistic. It's the geek equivalent of "Do you like me?".

Before, they used to be inside jokes on geek culture, or Sci-Fi references.

There was always a Cowboy Neil option...
What happened?

Sounds like a misguided effort. What I really want, is high-quality audio in smaller file sizes. It seems like they're creating a solution without a problem, or for the wrong problem.

I understand the point of incentivizing legitimate downloads, but the incentive here is something I (or just about anyone) can get with a quick google search.

If they really want to incentivize legit downloads, give me exclusive content or, life-like audio... Heck, I'd take the music equivalent of "Director's Commentary" over their proposal.
