Read the article. The kids are playing board games too.

I typed too fast on my prior reply.

The last line should have been...

If they claimed recovering over 100% by weight in "hydrocarbon oil" per ton of plastic it would make me believe the hype machine was running.

This makes sense with high powered amps. A 1000W amplifier operating into a 4 or 8 ohm load will result in 10 to 15 amps on the wire (assuming you were running it full up, anyway). Anything lighter than 12 AWG or so will add impedance at these power levels, reducing power. I generally use 14 or 12 AWG cord for speaker connections. In the case of my earlier anecdote, booster cables can obviously handle the current; they are designed to carry hundreds of amps. I have no idea what the current capacity of barbed wire is. =p

Don't you know that Cash for Clunkers was a death panel for antiques, you insensitive clod!

If it were really coming from Kennedy, it would be about auto repair for the uninsured being a right.

In the political arena, you're after a consensus of agreement which is acceptable. You can start with something like "We hold these truths to be self-evident..." and if society as a whole agrees on them, then they become your axioms.

Why go through all the effort to turn plastic (and other waste) into a fuel, when you can just dump it all in a big waste incinerator and burn it? The heat can be used to produce electricity, which is equally useful.

BTW, ditch the RV too much more of an adventure in a tent.

At my age, tent camping just doesn't happen anymore (late 50's). Lowest tech I'll go is a teardrop camper. But if I was going to live in my Condor RV, I'd want to gut it and rebuild it first...

3) Park the car in Starbuck's parking lot, leeching off their WiFi

The girlfriend and I tried that a couple years ago at a Starbucks' in Vegas. All I could get was a page asking for my credit card number so I could pay 5 bucks for half an hour's connection. So much for 'leeching'.

I agree with you. However my predecessor chose and implemented Exchange. It's not financially viable to forklift Exchange at this time since it is already paid for.
If I was looking at a fresh install of a groupware product right now, I would be looking at the open source products.

The OS is still missing native MS Exchange support. Our company currently utilizes T-Mobile as a wireless provider and this is the single biggest hangup from us deploying the G1 handsets. I do realize that there are 3rd party apps that provide this functionality, but that gets expensive when you roll out 100+ devices.

But does he run Linux?
