That just doesn't matter. In fact, your message alone is very irritating.
Any mistake that causes the whole system to explode and kill people is a _major_ mistake. No matter how seemingly trivial it was, it ceased being trivial when the whole damn thing blew up.
Well, most ISPs don't have all the content and staff that AOL has. It's genuinely huge. And it wants to be a media empire (thus the T-W bit.) All that crap is expensive.
Really? I hate what DVD looks like. I'd much rather see analog fuzz than that awful digital compression. Particularly in the dark tones. I'm terribly disappointed in DVDs, as a matter of fact. The only thing I do like is the number of devices that play them.
You hadn't noticed those before? Yikes. Films are really quite messy when you pay attention to them. It's what comes when you have to print and duplicate thousands of reels. Individual quality suffers.
The attentive font nut will notice that for a little while, Apple has used sans serif fonts for the education products. Both generations of iBooks have prominently pleasant, sans serif fonts on their keyboards, if not on the 'iBook' label, itself.
I go to a pretty crappy-ass grocery store. If the people in line didn't notice the fake thumbprint, maybe the cop watching all the registers would. Smartass probably-wealthier-than-me kids make me want to vomit.
Even worse, dose the government sanction the revelation of one of their major secrets? That Los Alamos is located in Nevada instead of New Mexico? I think they'd be most upset about that one.
How about the cashier? I read a previous poster's comment about how he doesn't care about ID or signatures. I'm sure he'd perk up right quick if you were waving around a bloody stump of a thumb, though.
Um, if I'm hanging out in a house owned by a landlord, and he doesn't think I have the right to be there (i.e., didn't sign a lease), then he can very well ask to see the contract. If I have a valid contract, I can stay. If I don't have one, the landlord can call the police.
That was before my time, actually. Wow. I really can't fathom not being able to deal with a text file because of its size. I suppose it translates well to big images, or whatever, but it's much more real when thought of as a text file.
Yea, you know you're really just incorrect? I consider myself to be a fairly intelligent person. Sometimes when the pot is way (way) up, I'll buy $5 worth of tickets just for fun. It's not with the intention of winning, and it's not a part of my financial planning strategy. It's just a fun thing to do (like I don't go to a little kid's lemonade stand with the intention of having my thirst quenched.)
Well, the attentive reader would have noted that I pointed out that Adobe wanted a very high per-seat license. Apple wanted to pay a flat rate, IIRC, and the two companies didn't work it out. So Apple went a different way.
DPS was used in a more fundamental way in NEXTSTEP. It was really amazing. There was true WYSIWYG, as the code on the screen was what was literally sent to the printer. Layout was really improved as a result, and you could mix postscript code with your drawing program efforts and see it previewed in a live fashion on-screen. It was easy to save documents in a portable fashion (PS), and a dozen other things.
Alas, no. Adobe wanted ridiculous prices to license Display PostScript (DPS), the engine that NeXT used in the NEXTSTEP display system. (NeXT is a company. NEXTSTEP is an operating system.)
Given the ridiculous licensing prices, Apple went a different way and created Display PDF for Mac OS X's drawing system.
Ghostscript works just fine, but the lack of DPS is one of the reasons I still keep a NeXT cube on/under my desk.

You mean Lone Gun-Men, of course.
Because 'splosions advance the plot better than dialog.
You, of course, mean "he" shouldn't be writing. Unless my Fowler's Usage is out of date.
Yep. You pretty much hit the nail on the head.

20 years later most people are still using some form of DOS.

Hey everybody, it's Mr. Hewlett!
But is it better than ever? I'm not sure! Help!

Um, how much does your high-quality 17" CRT and not-all-plastic CPU weigh, captain clever?

It is.
Lots of people know.
They had that rumor two years ago, two months ago, and two days ago. I trust that two days from now, they'll have rumors of a 17" LCD iMac.

On the plus side, though, as soon as I call the police, they automatically have the other party's fingerprints :)

I don't see how it's any different.
Use ogg. I hear it doesn't explode. d00d.
