Or, maybe, all those fossils once lived on earth, along with their happy mineral friends, but once everybody else decided to come to land and start evolvig, they decided to be different and go back to the sea?
Indeed, Intel Classmate was rebranded 'Magellan' in Portugal for some government funded laptops for students. I wonder if it really will be rebranded the same in Venezuela.
I guess you should wonder whom was it inspired by.
The novel's title is a play on words involving the software company Microsoftâ"most of the major characters in the novel are initially employees of the companyâ"and the term serf (the lowest social class of the feudal society).>/p>
Glad a lot of people died for you to make that statement, obnoxiously inaccurate though it be.
People die.
People in war time die often. Usually, with the purpose of avoiding their enemy's dominance.
"People died for you to X", being X any of "make that statement", "being able to speak your mind" or "do whatever is you want to do", is simply pure crap.
Few were the times when people really died willingly "for a greater purpose". Most of them died because they were dumped in the middle of an on going war and had to survive (if they died, obviously, they didn't made it).
Honestly, I don't really understand how those statements hold nowadays.
Besides fighting for your independence, on your civil war or the world wars, those people died with less purpose that everybody likes to remember.
Dieing while serving your military forces, in other situation than those when your countryman's lives or freedom may be at stake, isn't something a country should be proud.
But, hey, this is just my point of view. I wouldn't be proud if my country's government decided to invade a foreign country, let my countryman die, just because they beat us on a singing contest.
(And, please, replace the singing contest with something you fancy, may it be different politics, religion, skin color or shoe size)
"If this passes they might as well ban people from driving cars because they clog the roads"
Actually, that wouldn't be a bad idea at all. It's getting rather usual (where I live) finding people cloging the main streets for no apparent reason, except, maybe, the pure fear of driving and hit something.
I'm not in a big, big city, but it causes enought damages in the morning, when most of the people are hitting the highway accesses.
The only real problem is that in this streets there is no lower velocity limit (like in highways, everybody must go above 40kph). For what the law states, they may as well cross the car in the middle of the street and leave it there.
At least, with internet connections you expect to "drive" at a given speed (assuming you're not being caped), and your old neighbour won't be slowing you down. The road... the road is a totally different story.

It seems pretty plausible to me.
Do they home deliver?
And where could I find such encryption, assuming I'm not in the military?
I don't. But then again, I fail to understand most of what's going on at slashdot most of the time...
fully-fledged CELLs (7 of them, remember)
Actually, a PS3 only features a single CELL processor, which is composed by 1 PPE (a PowerPC) and 7 SPEs (for vectorial calculation).
Following your line of thought, the unborn baby should ask for permission before a turning a woman pregnant, otherwise she's entitled to kick him out?
I'm still new to all that woman => magic => pregnancy => babies sequence, so cut me some slack...
If by *far* more down to earth you mean they only occupy countries for oil^H^H^Hstability purposes, instead of invading, you are damn right.

I see what you did there...
Your post made me laugh, and then made feel rather ignorant.
Do all those things you just said really exist, or did you just made them all up?
Damn. You already spoiled it. I guess the flyers weren't enought... you had to post them on slashdot.
And the book didn't even came out yet!

Great research method: post it on slashdot and get everyone doing the job for you!
Well... there's the windows 2000 source code leak...
be miserable and unproductive when forced to work 9 till 5 but will happily work from 12 till 2 AM.
I would also be glad to work only 2 hours a day and receive a 9-5 paycheck.
Probably all those who wish to understand the joke.
:-(
I would, very much, like to.
Perhaps has never been a good reason to leave things in their current state.
Perhaps, if proven wrong, the world becomes a happier place for everybody.

i dunno. ask goatse.
I was enjoying my lunch...
One can only wonder: how would they know whether "that guy" is sitting in his basement, or simply dealing with his very, very, very busy sex life?
would you?
Awww (damn!) :(
Someone really evil would then make a board com 100 squares with 99 mines and 1 mine-free.
A face of pure despair, lacking caffeine... now that would be priceless.
