That was true pathos and I was surprised to see such pathos in a TV show. The nurse brother's empathy for his ambitious brother was so high that he (brother 1) had the dreams of flying for him (brother 2). But the fact that brother 1 began to associate being able to fly with some kind of self-validation: that made the twist that it was actually brother 2 who flies all the more juicy. Oh, the humanity. Good stuff.

Failing that, Dells should all come with the firewall on, and AV and anti-spyware installed and running with a 6 month subscription, as well as a note (in dead tree form) reminding the user that he needs to update and renew the stuff in 6 months.
No, they shouldn't. Most AV software is notoriously impossible to uninstall without destroying your current OS install. If they choose an AV, anti-spy, firewall package I don't like, I need to reinstall the OS before I can use the computer, and most computers don't come with an installable OS option. They come with a restore to factory default and that default includes the stupid firewall, anti-spy and AV software I don't want.
Another good one might be March 1989, when Tim Berners-Lee wrote his first HTML/HTTP proposal.
Wouldn't that be more like the web's conception date and August 6, 1991 be the delivery date? That's some gestation period.

I don't think Sid has been involved in the development of a game at this level in 10 years. Do you really care about the 10-year old opinion of a game designer about how good compilers of 10 years ago were?
> 1. You have to take into account everyone that could have gotten the file from someone when talking about lost revenue
Which means you can only sue one person per month. After you sue the first person, the second person says, the "everyone who could have gotten the file for X" is already paid for by the suit filed against person 1. This fee is monthly, not per download. The company should not be able to claim the same lost revenue twice. If there are 100,000 downloaders, they can't sue two people for $500,000 lost revenue each.
There was a Shatner walk-on to the Muppet Show (2nd series) where Ms Piggy finds herself on a plane seated next to Bill. After saying Hey you're William Shatner, he asks if she's read his latest memoire (or some such book). Of course, next, she freaks out over a monster on the wing. After the stewardess ignores her, Bill turns to her and says matter-of-factly, "Oh, that. Yeah, no one believed me either."
The compromised machine got infected over the internet, and over the internet, one presumably can access a database of all CMOS maps for all motherboards.
You are forgetting that the CMOS can be rewritten BEFORE you try to boot the CD. So the compromising software, having disabled CD booting, can detect a CD in the drive, decide to bootstrap the CD in a sandbox and make you think it is running from the secure CD when it is not.

Yes, but paragraph 2 which does an end run around the constitution is not included in the list of paragraphs exempt from judicial review and thus a suit voiding paragraph 2 as unconstitutional, opens acts under paragraph 1 to judicial review. They know this provision has no meat. They also know it will take 5-10 years of courtroom anti-drama to get it stricken. In the meantime they're free to do as they please.

ExciteBike is available for the GameBoy Advance. It was released in summer 04. They may not have a cartidge for your NES but they do have one for their current hardware (the GBA). And you can play GBA games on a TV using a GameCube and a GBA adaptor for GC.
but why should I have to go to endless trouble to find a copy to play on my NES?
Copyright law doesn't say they have to make it available in any particular format. They've decided to make it available for their lastest hardware thus the game is not what is abandoned, it's your hardware that is.

My Epson Photo Stylus 780's ink cartridges have to be cleaned if you don't print something every few days. I can probably get about 10 cleanings out of a fresh cartridge before draining it dry.
Sounds like you had the printer on a power strip and always left it on. Can't do that with an Epson printer. In fact you should only power on an Epson inkjet when you are actively printing. While the printer is on the ink is exposed to air. This can cause it to dry out. If you switch off the power to your printer from a power strip instead of turning it off at the printer, the ink remains exposed to the air (and dries out). My Color Stylus 600 had warnings about this but I didn't pay attention. I found it in a technote on Epson's website. My epson photo printer (875DCS) is great I only turn it on when I print and my cartriges last many months and pages before needing replacement. My 875 also can print b&w when the color cartridge is empty.
And modifying a.h file is modifying every file that includes it. How many files include proc.h? Sounds like a popular include file.

"Real-NEWS"? are you serious? I suppose they would report Real-FACTS as well. Not those other news outlets. The False-NEWS with their False-FACTS. If someone reports something and the majority of their listeners have not heard it, it is news. All news is biased. There is no getting around that. But to create an agency to put it's stamp of approval on news is the fastest way to get opinions you don't like suppressed. Or labeled Not-NEWS. We really don't need the Orwellian double-speak to label the news.
Even stranger is the sound-bite requirement. They want to show a sentense someone said and then they have to include the 15 seconds before and after it. Well how do I know the 15 seconds before that don't change the meaning of what was said, they should do 30 seconds before and after. Of course there could be something even earlier than changes the meaning so they should include 1 minute before and after. and so on and so on. Perhaps you should rethink that.

I would think:
create table LABEL {
id Integer Identity Primary Key,
Name Varchar(255) NOT NULL
}
create table FILE {
id Integer Identity Primary Key,
data BLOB NOT NULL
}
create table FS {
id Integer Identity Primary Key,
file_id Integer NOT NULL foreign key file.id,
label_id Integer NOT NULL foreign key label.id
}
would make much more sense. Then files could have multiple labels.
