Nice article Dwight. I recently had a chance to use a MPB that we bought at work, and I can atest to all of these things confusing me. The whole MAC thing seemed needlessly difficult. I imagine that over time things get easier, but I cannot even imagine having to switch (blogs.chron.com....itc_1.html)

Yes, my "Nobody Is That Dumb . Oh, Wait" series comes back with a vengeance! I really should have launched "the dumbest prediction of the year" contest, but I didn't :-) Still, we have a wiiiiiiiiiiinner: " TJX57;s Security Breaches Will Force it to Go out of Business or to Merge with Another Company " Huh? Then it gets better: "Furthermore, the negative impact upon TJX57;s public image is difficult to assess, but it is not difficult to imagine that it has been large.

An Objection has indeed been made against raising the Denomination of the Bills from that of the old Tenor to either that of the middle or new Tenor Bills, founded upon a Notion that it has occasion57;d the Rise of the Price of Silver, and of Provisions; but it is a Mistake to imagine that any Denomination of the Bills of Credit whatsoever can affect the Price of Silver, or of any other Commodities in the Province; for besides that one does not appear to have the least Relation to, or Connection with the other, this single Fact seems to be a full Confutation of that Notion, viz. That the greatest Rise of the Price of Silver, that ever happen57;d in the Province within the same Compass of Time, was that between the Years 1733 and 1735, when it rose from twenty Shillings per Ounce in Bills of the old Tenor to twenty-seven Shillings and six Pence , that is near 34 per Cent and that happen57;d before the Emission either of the middle or new Tenor Bills, and when no other Bills were current but those of the old Tenor: And on the other Hand, for about five Years next after the Emission of the middle Tenor Bills, the Price of Silver continu57;d very near at a Stand -As to the Price of Provisions; That must of Necessity follow the Rise of the Price of Silver and all other Commodities in general; For otherwise how is it possible for the Husbandman to subsist? The Rise of Provisions does not indeed keep even Pace with that of the Price of Silver, which generally rises by Starts, and then keeps at a Stand for some Time, but gradually as the Countryman feels the Effects of the Rise of Silver in the Prices of all other Commodities and Necessaries of Life, which he is oblig57;d to purchase; And thus it happen57;d that the utmost Extent of the Rise of Provisions, which necessarily follow57;d the great Rise of Silve (etext.lib.virginia.edu....nquiry.htm)

Imagine my horror when I learned that massive amounts of beef infected with E. coli 0157:H7 had been released for sale. This is nothing amusing. I got sick, but this can kill people. Or it can mess people up so badly for the rest of their lives that they wish they were dead. (www.boingboing.net....rmous.html)
However, some adopted children argue that they need to know their biological background. "There are so many adoptees who want to know who they are," said Paula Benoit, an adoptee and state senator in Maine who lobbied for an open records law.

Sure, you think you've seen lots of dolls that chat and sing (you know-pull the string or push the button, and the doll has a mechanism that says a phrase or sings). Well, you really haven't seen a doll talk and sing until you see Chat Divas! Chat Diva Barbie and Chat Diva Teresa move their heads and lips when they talk on their cell phone or sing songs. It's hard to imagine, but the doll's lips (these are average size Barbie dolls, 11 1/2 inches tall) move in a pretty realistic way. Not only do the dolls sing three pre-programmed songs on their doll-sized microphones, but if you plug in your iPod or other MP3 player Barbie will lip-synch and bop her head to its music! These dolls are part of a wave of dolls from Mattel that blend technology and traditional doll play. Chat Divas will be available in March, and they will retail for $29.9 (collectdolls.about.com....ch-way.htm)

Given that this is such a new company, I'd imagine the volume they're producing these things at is so low, that it's difficult for them to achieve any substantive price reductions due to volume. After all if ordering just 50 units cuts the price by over 50%, imagine what an order of a few thousand units would d (www.theyshouldd....m/2007/03/)
Nice post Beane. I also think he may be talking about a particular time of 2003 when there was the ramp up to Iraq and things were being redeployed. it could very well be a case of a particular time rather than an endemic issue. That said, then I57;m going to also ignore the releases by the pentagon, in regards to deterioration of equipment to the point of a massive need of replacement, the strain on soldiers because of multiple duties, rising suicide problems (can57;t imagine why) and last but not least the corrosive nature of having private contractor armies getting 3-4 times as much pay, short stays, and generally overall preferential treatment. . Other than that, it sounds like fun70;.: (youdecide08.foxnews.com....n-weapons/)
Time will tell if the use of such a technique will be judged ethical though no doubt it is effective. I imagine if Obama were accused of something wrong he would be pleased to have a chance to refute that claim by knowing exactly what it was he did.

As a friend of mine who used to be a state trooper liked to say about such talk,61; that is hearsay evidence61; (youdecide08.foxnews.com....n-weapons/)
So, i'm really beginning to believe that the world is going to end in 2012. End as in, move on to a new way of life. it will be our generation who chooses whether that new life is one inwhich we respect our mother earth, or whether it's one inwhich she reminds us how small we really are. Only problem is, is it really our generation's decision in a country run by people old enough to be our grandparents? Hi-Ho America is always 50 years behind. One last thing, imagine if all the money wasted on endeavors in the middle east had been invested into space exploration and colonization (lighterfootstep.com....rming.html)
13. After reading several comments, I agree there're are several great songs that should have been on the list . I don't agree with having racicist rapping about anti-racisim, as being insperational at all. NWA is as non-racist as J. Jackson, and A. Sharpton. The biggest oversight about the list , in my opinon, Imagine by John Lennon , protesting confomity in all directions, while asking to seek peacefull resolutions. (www.spinner.com....red-no-20/)
After the collapse of Highbury in late 2005, and its subsequent sale of titles to Imagine Publishing, the three of us talked about what we might do, and a few months ago the idea of Gamerzines was born. We wanted to learn from the experience that Cranberry had already had with emagazines, however, and build on the format. That's why what we've created is so polished compared to some emagazine launches out there (www.tomsgames.com....t_to_read/)
Toy manufacturers eventually realized that a considerable number of their toys ended up being torn apart or blown up by young boys. This realization lead to a string of figures that were pliable nay, "torturable" and nearly indestructible. This allowed children to rend them limb from limb with sadistic glee, only to be able to piece them back together with no harm done. Manglors was the top drawer of these rubbery, masochist action figures, and included the Manglodemon, Manglodragon, Manglizard, and eventually the Manglord from Manglor Mountain. Imagine an enormous dragon who sticks his limbs back on in different places after they are torn off terrorizing a city, or an army of marauding humanoids reassembling each other after getting blown up and cut to pieces in battle. It's B-level horror/action at its finest! You know what, these things were probably poisonous, to (www.tomsgames.com....ed_movies/)
The New York Times reports that sleep scientists say dreaming may serve an evolutionarily adaptive purpose. (I can only imagine the kind of dreams our distant ancestors had 52; getting eaten by a saber-toothed cat?)

The worst thing is not what welfarism falsely assures us that it will fix. The worst thing is what it ignores: the harm of death for the animal. The economical model for modern meat production involves doing a great harm to the individual animal by killing it in its youth, thereby depriving it of many years of valuable future life. Imagine what "pork" would cost if the animal had not been killed early in its life. And was treated in a way that maximizes its welfar. Would the price be 20 times higher ? 40 times? Would you afford it regularly? Probably not. So if you only want to eat meat from animals that has been treated "well" then don't eat meat (www.boingboing.net....t-pig.html)
It said in the article that about $6.00 of meat was lost to bruising in 1/15 cows. I get that every bit counts, but think about it: A cow has about 500 pounds of usable meat. In today's dollars, you can buy about a pound of good quality beef for $4, give or take a bit depending on the quality of the cut. Even if we double the dollar value (I don't get inflation, and I imagine beef's a complicated issue thanks to the number of variables like the fact that we now feed cows GM soybeans which are cheaper than the old feed and the fact that we have rising energy costs), that's still just about 3 pounds of meat lost from an animal with 500 pounds of meat on the hoof, out of 15. This really shows how big the beef industry is if that was enough loss to warrant a nice illustrated pamphlet explaining how to better treat the animals. Or maybe they had the animals' interests at heart as some of the animal welfare people on this board feel and offered up the economic incentive for those farmers who might not be as concerned with the animals' pai (www.boingboing.net....t-pig.html)
Sci-fi author Bruce Sterling coined the term "spime," meaning an object that can be tracked through space and time thanks to embedded technology. The best way to visualize it is like this: Imagine googling "Where are my shoes?" and getting an answer. (I blogged one of Sterling's spime speeches last year at the SXSW conference.) Sterling may seem like the L. Ron Hubbard of futurism by buying into his own sci-fi, but give him another decade or two. RFID technology could make spimes a reality.

However, members of Congress said that was not actually a valid reason to withhold the information and announced they were also seeking a copy of the database and would hold hearings on the matter. Thus, the Congress has started to investigate this matter and ordered NASA to halt any destruction of records. I cannot imagine any good public purpose being served by destroying records, Rep. Bart Gordon , D-Tenn., who is chair of the House Science and Technology committee, said in a statement. The committee will get to the bottom of all of this (www.efluxmedia.com....09901.html)
I know a good glass of wine is hard to resist, but some serious cash can be consumed along with the tannins. Even though I've never been a heavy drinker, in the times in my life when I was drinking a few glasses of wine with dinner most nights, a good 25% or more of my grocery budget went to alcohol - to the tune of $1000 a year. Can you imagine what that would be earning in an IRA right now (www.walletpop.com....on/518568/)
Psych 101 and Bio 101 textbooks often have a picture in them that shows which areas of the brain control which bodily functions, and this is all presented as fixed and unchanging. Imagine our surprise to learn that the brain can make fairly large shifts in just a few days - for example, if you blindfold somebody for five days, the area of their brains that's usually called the visual cortex starts using large sections of itself to process touch and sound, and this change is made in as little as two days.

Don&t even get me started on 9/11 memorial tattoos . One tattoo phenomenon that continues to baffle me involves portraiture of deceased loved ones. I have often seen men with a portrait of their dead child on their upper arm . I just imagine someone looking at one of those bad K-Mart portrait photos of their child that they had taken for a Christmas card the year before and thinking that inking his kid&s face on his arm will keep the memories alive. I think it&s more creepy than it is sweet. Speaking of sweet. Check out this guy&s eyelid tattoos . I think I am speechless. Nothing could beat that. Other than finger mustache tattoos! I have learned this evening that this is somewhat of a trend that has taken the hipster world by storm. During my research on finger mustache tattoos, I stumbled across an image of a tattoo that was done completely in white ink at a tattoo parlor in Finland .

Sixty-eight percent of those surveyed who do not currently own an iPhone stated that they can't be bothered to drop that kind of cash, with 16 percent unwilling to sign up for two years of anything with AT&T, for fear their calling logs will be delivered without question to the NSA and 44 percent can't imagine why they would spend $600 for a device that actually does less than their current phone (www.thatsplenty.com/2007/07/)

Nice girl. Into being cute full time. Anyway, she played the song After Hours a lot. It's a good song. VU is great and Mo Tucker is great. She was, what I imagine, the feisty lil drummer girl. But she got preggers, quit the band and moved to Georgia and worked at Wal-Mart for the minimum wage until Penn, that libertarian magic guy, put out her records, or some other odd fairy godmother nonsense.

And I thought that I would then go and ask him about the sun and moon and stars, and that he would explain to me their comparative swiftness, and their returnings and various states, and how their several affections, active and passive, were all for the best. For I could not imagine that when he spoke of mind as the disposer of them, he would give any other account of their being as they are, except that this was best; and I thought when he had explained to me in detail the cause of each and the cause of all, he would go on to explain to me what was best for each and what was best for all. I had hopes which I would not have sold for much, and I seized the books and read them as fast as I could in my eagerness to know the better and the worse. 474 What hopes I had formed, and how grievously was I disappointed! As I proceeded, I found my philosopher altogether forsaking mind or any other principle of order, but having recourse to air, and ether, and water, and other eccentricities. I might compare him to a person who began by maintaining generally that mind is the cause of the actions of Socrates, but who, when he endeavored to explain the causes of my several actions in detail, went on to show that I sit here because my body is made up of bones and muscles; and the bones, as he would say, are hard and have ligaments which divide them, and the muscles are elastic, and they cover the bones, which have also a covering or environment of flesh and skin which contains them; and as the bones are lifted at their joints by the contraction or relaxation of the muscles, I am able to bend my limbs, and this is why I am sitting here in a curved posture: that is what he would say, and he would have a similar explanation of my talking to you, which he would attribute to sound, and air, and hearing, and he would assign ten thousand other causes of (www.bartleby.com/2/1/35.html)
