In most parts of the USA, having your license suspended or revoked is almost the same as house arrest.

All HP has to do is focus on their knitting. Make great products and take great care of your customers. You don't need lots of sound-and-fury drama to be a great company

Was this article supposed to be taken seriously? It sounds like an attempt at bawdy humor to me.

This only bans new towers. This means existing towers will now be worth much more. Who owns those?

In this day and age, you would think it would not be possible to download and install a program simply by clicking on an email link. I would have thought Microsoft would have taken that 'feature' out 8-9 years ago.

"The Ambassador Of Death" sounds like the type of phrase Fox News would like. Is Iran intentionally angling for Fox attention? Why?

I think these companies missed out on a good thing.

Microsoft would gain the WebOS, plus some phone hardware. In Microsoft's hands, the WebOS could have been offered across multiple hardware platforms, creating a good competitor to Android. Or, Microsoft could have simply folded aspects of the WebOS into Windows 7.

Nokia would have immediately regained a good, solid foothold in the US market.

Sony would have gained a versatile OS to power its device portfolio.

It looks like there could also be a relation to continental movements in some areas. The cooler colored areas appear to be trailing behind fast moving continental plates, almost like a backwash. Look at the southern tip of India, which is quickly moving north into Asia. There is a cool area to the south of the California plate, which is moving north. There is another cool area off the east coast of North America and to the east of the Caribbean.

Colorado sounds like a bad place to gamble. Gamblers should just stick to Nevada.

I've always thought this happened by design. Although, I've never been sure exactly what the design was.

Perhaps it's an attempt to keep a conversation about a particular topic going through multiple headlines and stories. New stories are being written all of the time, usually with just a paragraph or two that are different from the old story.

Perhaps it was an attempt to cut down on the number of stupid posts. After all, who reads the end of a comment thread that contains 99,601 comments. Surely people realize that few people are going to read their comment after so many have been posted.

Perhaps it's an attempt to cut down on flame wars. It's not easy going through 100's of pages trying to find out if some moron picked up on your finely honed flame-bait.

Perhaps it's a database design issue, and they are simply trying to save disk space.

Either a Key Wallet

or a belt clip key chain, which keeps the keys outside of your pockets.

Yes, believe it or not, cubicles work well. If they are high walled, make sure they are big enough to fit more than one person for small meetings. If they are low walled, then arrange the workspaces so that all four developers share the same hall and are facing away from one another while working on their computers. If there is room, you might try placing a meeting table in the hall, with a large portable whiteboard nearby. If one developer needs to talk to another, they just turn their chair and talk. I think this is a good compromise between privacy and collaboration.

Witness the awesome power of "if it ain't broke don't fix it".

The healthcare bill is so huge and complex that it is difficult to have any intelligent debate over it. People mostly make simple, sound bite sized remarks. Very few people seem to understand the bill. I don't understand it myself.

That said, the conventional wisdom states that the bill will be extremely expensive, on the scale of Social Security or Medicare. While I agree the current health care system leaves a lot to be desired, I think the timing is terrible. Our financial house is not in order and the economy seems to be in the middle of a long term case of fatigue. In short, I don't think we can afford it. I'm worried it could be the straw, or bale, that breaks the camel's back.
