Woah there, big tipper... Don't make the rest of us look bad.

The 7/11 mini marts in Los Angeles, California have been doing this for over a decade to repel gangs and homeless persons. The biggest problem is that over time the "undesireables" have beecome desensitized to the classical music and have aquired an immunity to it.

Just when I thought all the fun of playing guitar had been completely eliminated, somebody yet again proved me wrong.

You can get a loaf of bread and a dozen eggs at Walmart for $2.50. A typical beggar could earn that in less than an hour of begging in front of the store. Here in the US, we have subsidized farms, put entire villages out of business, and monopolized entire agricultural sectors so that food can be extremely cheap. Even the poorest of the poor can afford a meal if they are willing to work or beg a little.

This guy created the huge sloppy mess that is Drupal. I suppose it may have been influential in that it has influenced developers to look for more mature, well-planned, scalable solutions. Drupal is hardly something the open source community should be proud of.

It's a nice thought, but have you every actually used the Netgear open routers? They are terrible. DD-WRT and Tomato are both quite buggy on them, and the documentation is pretty poor. I suggest going with Buffalo.

I am a software engineer. I write SAAS applications. What is software intellectual property theft? Should I be worried it?

Um, have you actually tried getting root on the G1? Unless you have the older versions of Android or have the developer phone, it is now extremely difficult to get root.

As somebody who writes and performs music professionally, AND as an avid Ubuntu user, I would be hard pressed to find any competent recording engineer using Linux, simply for the fact that competent engineers want to RECORD, not compile device drivers and tweak kernel flags.
