It doesn't work if you aren't logged in and haven't set a default shipping address.

The new, improved battery system's design has been altered to prevent the sort of fault that led to the Boston fire and the failure of a battery on an All Nippon Airways 787 in January. There is added insulation between each cell to prevent a short-circuit within the lithium-ion cells from cascading to others.
Even if the battery does fail and overheat, Boeing officials said, its new sealed steel enclosure system, with cooling and venting, will prevent a fire and contain the problem to the battery itself, protecting the rest of the aircraft. As part of testing, propane was used to create a small explosion inside the enclosure, which was successfully kept contained within it. Boeing claims that the enclosure will not only isolate a possible battery failure from the rest of the aircraft's components, but that passengers won't even notice if a failure occurs.
There are some unanswered questions that remain. Boeing was never able to replicate the failure that caused the Japan Air Lines 787 to catch fire in its tests of the old design. And considering that the original reason Boeing selected lithium-ion batteries for the 787 was their relatively low weight, the additional provisions would seem to cancel out much of the benefit of the technology.

Ah well, the sessions are available online; though of course, lose out on the networking not being there.

Here's an excerpt from the Guardian:
The doodle features many of the touchstones of Adams's popular writing.
It displays a cup of tea - a reference to one of his Dirk Gently detective novels, called The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul. It also shows a towel, an item Adams wrote was essential when travelling in space).
With a click of a lift door on the doodle, one of Adams's most enduring characters from the Hitchhiker novels, Marvin the paranoid android, is revealed.
There are many references to the Hitchhiker's Guide. With many clicks, some of Adams's best fictional inventions, including the Babel Fish, which can be inserted in your ear to translate any language, are on show.

The worst project you can be on is one:
1. With no clear goals, he has no idea what he wants.
2. No support team; basically, like you said, you're the team, and even worse, you're "green".
It sounds like you got one of those "pie in the sky" projects; there's no clear benefit that the CIO can get from this, and if you succeed, he looks awesome; if you fail, he doesn't care, it's one of those "throwaway" projects.
In a megacorp, you have to get into a project which is directly involved in their day to day business, directly contributing to revenue, to get more recognition, resources, and $$$. Get into such a project, or make yours give some visible benefit to the company.
In your example, I'd have tried to pivot it to be a reporting tool; I find that senior management in banking generally have a poor visibility in their business monitoring, current transaction levels etc; this can give clear and visible benefit to the company.
Once you can show the benefits to your Boss and the CEO, the extra help and resources will follow.

It's not; Texas has a disproportionately large subsidy per capita.

Personally, I find cartoonification (waddling) as a sign of endearment.

Luckily had weekly backups, so only lost one week's worth of data, but still.
This kinda soured me against trying any new OCZ...
Now I have an Intel SSD; pricier, but well worth it.
Also, uploading the data to Dropbox server, and then downloading again, wastes valuable quota for those under a data cap.
