Maybe try Automator? It's included with OS X.

Pretty sure Ron Paul wants oversight on banking, just the largest one (the Fed) is where we should start in his opinion.

As mentioned by someone above, Logo is being used in a lot of agent-based modeling research. One in particular came up time and time again in a seminar class I took on complex systems was NetLogo. Some poor economics PhD was working on modeling the relationship between groundwater depletion and policy approaches to curbing its overuse, and his simulations were taking weeks with something like 100 nodes. Too bad it isn't open source, might be fun to try to parallelize simulation runs.

I used an average in this case. My upload is typical of cable (terrible) and my download is around 11Mbit. So 4Mbit was my selection. However if I were to weight it based on use (%TimeUpload * Upload Speed + %TimeDownload*DownloadSpeed) it would be closer to the 11Mbit number. So if it's a simple dichotomy between producer and consumer, I'm by far a consumer based on the number of bits. However the things I produce don't measure up solely based on bits (even a large codebase is dwarfed by a half hour of video).

I'd currently say I'm libertarian leaning, and that's exactly my stance on marriage. It's a religious ceremony, and the government has zero business in it at all. Straight couples and gay couples may both have a civil union, which takes care of all those tax and insurance issues but we could cut that crap too. What that federal court ban (I haven't read up on it) would do is stop the judiciary from legislating from the bench, overriding the decision made by the states. This is a crucial idea, as legislating from the judiciary has led to erosion of our Bill of Rights.

I tried when the Patriot Act was up for renewal. The form letter I received in return made it ostensibly clear that my representative did not read, nor care to address any of the points I made in my letter.

As much as he's been marred for his personal mishaps, Tiger Woods has set up Learning Centers in LA, DC, and a couple of other locations that focus on teaching STEM type curriculum, while providing some physical activity to break up any academic tedium (exercise is good for the mind). I have no accounts of the quality, however it is an option to be explored. www.tigerwoodsfoundation.org

Even so, those $7700 come from US tax payers. So really (and at the same time not really) they are getting them back.

No that's quadratic.

Interesting? Really? So you'd prefer to have less competition in the operating system market? Granted Microsoft has been the demon around here for as long as I can remember, but with someone new at the helm, maybe Microsoft can contribute useful products to the marketplace. They certainly have a large amount of talent, and I would love to see the company leverage it with a new mission. Someone who could successfully translate things that come out of Microsoft R&D to the marketplace would be great. I am not a big fan of Microsoft, haven't used Windows in the last 5 years really, though I do enjoy the Xbox (despite all the problems that have plagued them).

Cloud data should be treated the same way that the contents of a safety deposit box are treated.

Apple has been giving out iPod's with laptop purchases for years now. If anything this is MS just trying to counter balance that. Seems like a win-win for consumers. Maybe Apple will step up their offering and give iPad's with laptop purchases now.

Yeah the withholding of content which is already produced (or ported from older versions of the game) is ridiculous. In order to get all the courses in Tiger Woods 12, the overall cost becomes ~$110. Most of these DLC courses are ones that were included in previous years games, and you know that EA didn't rework them, maybe slapped on a new texture or something. Of the 34 courses available, 14 are included with your $60 purchase. Most of those were included in TW09. Same thing with one of the Call of Duty games where they released downloadable maps that were part of Call of Duty 1.

What if it's just the right love triangle?

If I were building a superswitch, it would easily be category 5e or category 6 ready.
