Civilians can still have all of them they like if they pay the government their $200 fee each time they buy one.
Not in ALL states: Some have more stringent rules.
You can't compare a totally normal person, who happens to be a vegetarian, with someone who's lifestyle-identity is a food restriction.
Normal people aren't vegetarians.
(Note that I don't necessarily condone that sort of an attitude; we may be breeding them specifically to eat them, but that's no reason not to make the animal's lives as comfortable as practicable)
Check the price on Kobe Beef. Those are some comfortable fraggin' cows. Next question.
The same thing is happening to publishers as is happening to other media - they just don't realize it yet, but physical books are obsolete.
I'll have to argue here with you. While I might be able to research faster using electonic medium of most sorts, the feel of a book in hand is one of life's simple joys. A book needs no internal batteries, rechargers, dongles, styluses, or assembly [unless it's a book on assembly...]
In short:
You can read it in a box.
You can read it with a fox.
You can read it in a house.
You can read it with a mouse.
You can read it here or there.
You can read it ANYwhere.
I think I like Green Eggs and Ham.
I think I like it, Sam-I-Am.
Not sure if this is an urban legend or not, but 33Hz is supposed to BE their frequency. Can someone recommend a MS-Winblows pure tone-generator app so my girl and I can test this? F'r the science, o' course!

You spend too much time in server closets.
....they server a valuable social function.
I imagine that as a non-smoker, smoking annoys you. Fine. Your pretentious self-righteous rhetoric annoys me, but the First Amendment states you have your say. You want to gripe about the evils of second-hand smoke. Fine. I'm not arguing the simple fact that inhaling fine particulate matter isn't healthy. I've lost family to cancer. I've also had 80-year old grandmothers that smoke daily, and get around better than someone half their age. It's a risky individual choice that may not be seen as "proper" {like face-piercing, tongue- or penis-splitting, etc,] but I'll be damned if I'll listen to some pink-lunged ninny lecture me on my life choices. I'll leave you with a thought:
I live in San Antonio, and a little while back we were about to lose some federal funds due to some smog. Well, the local politicos all hit the air, and the suggestions ran from car-pooling to taking the bus to switching to electric mowers and only mowing on certain days, etc. In every smog scenario I'd heard, cars and industry were the problem. Well, riddle me this: Why weren't smokers included?
[BTW, a lame "well, because they knew smokers wouldn't quit smoking" WILL be countered with "..and die-hard yuppies will NOT give up their H3s," so PLEASE choose another line.]
...and first seen commercially in the early 80s... What hilarious is most arguements basically break down to "Who most skillfully ripped off Xerox?", regardless of the OS discussed. Give me a "Minority Report" interface any day.
For the record, I've been running on a Windows box since Windows 2000 without ever using an anti malware program. Never caught anything.
In my dual roles as devil's advocate and Captain Obvious, I gotta ask:
If you've never used any legit spyware detection software..... how're you SURE you've never been infected? Not ALL malware pops windows up all over the place/acts in the obvious manner.
Well, in a court case involving a dentist and his insurance company, they were asked to produce an expert in "medical imaging." When the guy hit the stand it was pretty apparent that he had never actually worked with medical imaging at length. When queried as to how he was determined to be an "expert witness", the guy honestly said, "Well, I browsed the web for about 4 hours on the topic...."
The court bought it. "Expert Witness" does NOT mean what it does on the movies/TV.
29' TV, 3 PCs (each with 17" monitor & 450W PSU), fridge, 2 ceiling fans constantly running in an apartment where we fight daily for the thermostat -- $60 electricity bill
Living in a state with cheap electricity and no rolling blackouts yet -- priceless.
They scream about all the lost ad revenue.... and act like it's the fault of the consumer. Well, NBC/ABC/CBS, you may have contractually obligated yourself to show those ads, but I am under NO contractual obligation to view them, keep them on tape, or see them as anything than "broadcast-twice-as-loud" annoyances. I'm 70% deaf, and have to jack the TV up to hear the subtle dialogue usually NOT included in captioning. The commercials now get muted, since I'm NOT interested in window tinting at double-volume. As many posts here point out:
Ignoring customer requests/market forces will kill your business over the long term, or give it such a bad name that you'd have to butt-rape a nun to look much worse. RIAA, anyone?
2 If you are talking about Visual Studios, ok, I understand that, but for the rest, Mono works quite nicely.
Not really. We resell a number of Windows-based point-of-sale systems, and not ONE will run with Mono, even after a week or two of noodling with it. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather run this package on Linux. We're just waiting for Mono to catch up - no easy task.
Yes, the Internet does work around breakages. It doesn't necessarily work that well.
Call me crazy, but wasn't that what {*cough*algore*cough*) DARPA designed it for? The fact that it still WORKS - just slower - means it's working JUST as it should.
Your doctor will no longer be able to find the little black malignant dot in your x-ray, and you're worried about not being able to copy a movie.
...and to vouch for the stabiliy of medical software, I worked as MIS for a local medical/dental practice for 15 years. From DOS apps to XP, and even including a RH content streaming box, I'd *never* found a package coded reliably enough to consider it robust enough to be called "mission-critical"...

You're probably younger and/or might not know your CDDB history.
I loved the CDDB concept, and am still annoyed at those weenies for selling out.
Normal people aren't vegetarians.

As we install point-of-sale software, we've run into this. Per Microslop, the limit is for 10 incoming connections to shares.
I don't like 'em any more than you do, but I had to call fair.

Weenies. Next time name it after US cities.
Can't top that... We're around 6.1 cents here. I say "around" because [surprise surprise] City Public Service can't come up with a straight pricing scheme to save their lives.
