I wonder if there will be a day where on-premise solutions will be touted as the solution to the DDoS vulnerability of cloud-based solutions, in much the same way that there seems to be an ebb and flow between fat and thin clients over the course of computing history.

The timing of this submission is impeccable. My 36th birthday was yesterday. Thanks for the inspiration!

FYI, you can still connect by using a named server, ie roddenberry.freenode.net.

Why shouldn't it remain unused?

IANAL, but I have a hard time believing that a court of law is going to issue a judgement of adverse possession where the perpetrator used fraud/identity theft, extortion and blackmail to come into possession of it.

'foo -site:w3schools.com' works just as well, does it not?

The solutions that include an open air design for the bean hopper ignore the fact that oxygen is what causes beans to go stale. This is why coffee bean bags have a one-way valve built in: to let the CO2 out that is given off by the beans, and to prevent O2 from seeping back in.

And the solution to the problem is to install a barista.

Bed risers work great (like the kind you might still have hanging around from a college dorm room). I bought some two years ago from Bed, Bath, & Beyond, coupled with an anti-fatigue mat. Not only did my developing back pain go away, but I've lost 15 pounds since then without adding anything to my exercise regimen, or drastically changing my diet.

The Compare plugin is one such feature. It highlights the deltas between two files.

edit: forgive me if you're already aware of it.

Snow is a personal preference. Boston and Detroit are comparable in terms of snowfall, the difference being there are umpteen ski resorts within a three hour drive of Boston.

I like the OP's Utopian vision for resurrecting Detroit, I had a similar idea related to other manufacturing ventures. The infrastructure should mostly still be in tact. The only thing that is missing is the industry. The perfect fit to me is the green energy industry (solar, wind manufacturing). It's the perfect opportunity to get Detroit back on it's feet, and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. Throw in a tax break that both sides of the isle can live with, and there would be virtually no opposition.

I am fascinated that in this economy, employees need motivation beyond the length of the unemployment line.
