<p>I don't really know all that much about Joel but huskies can behave pretty well indoors with supervision as long as those guidelines are met (exercise and training) but if the apartment is small the exercise is going to have to make up for it in time and amount.<p>I have had huskies that could and would run for hours on end with no sign of slowing (as they should be able to) and currently have a husky akita mix that takes full reign of five acres.</p>

<p>In regards to huskies there are a few important things:<p>- they need a lot of exercise everyday (like a few hours)<p>- they need training (not good couch potato dogs)<p>- they need high and secure fencing (many will try to escape if left alone and to their own devices and they are master escape artists)</p>

<p>If you're not passionate about it you're not going to get anything done so you need to "man up" one way or the other (ditch or push).  Really think about what you want, if you want this project to get done go at it full spin otherwise leave it and take on an easier or more passionate undertaking.</p>

<p>Apple is really starting to subscribe to the competition is bad for business standpoint and it really is starting to get annoying.<p>You can see that apple really wants to be <i>the</i> smartphone distributor but they really can only do that two ways: create a cheaper phone or remove the cheaper competing phones from competition<p>For me I put my support into google I have a droid and like it very much and the iphone on the other hand was not meant for me but this fueding between apple and the tech world makes me not want to support apple.</p>

<p>You could use a password scheme for sites you don't really care much about and stronger separate passwords for important and often used sites.<p>I do this and it works out well and if you use the important sites enough you will and do remember your strong passwords but for the ones you don't you always can reset your password by email which isn't that inconvenient if you think about how often you are accessing the website that you cannot remember your password.</p>

<p>Matlab and Mathematica seem to do pretty well at installing universally (though 64bit can cause some issues).<p>I think the real reason is there isn't much benefit for making software for linux when the paying userbase for windows or even mac is so much higher.  This is why you really only see educational and/or research based software on linux; hopefully if linux starts to get really big we will see this change.</p>
