Heh, heh. That reminds me: the university I work at has configured their packet-shaper to silently block P2P protocols. This has the unintended side-effect of blocking World of Warcraft from even running, apparently. I'd asked one of our student workers "well, doesn't that just block torrent-distributed updates?"; evidently something else WoW does registers as P2P.
I'm waiting for the riot when all the addicts realize they can't play their game.
Except, funnily enough, he's not got the mass following that Beck does. I'm fairly politically astute, but I'd never heard of him until you mentioned him.
No, I'm going to need the Examiner's methodology. How do we know they didn't count the people who went to Beck's speech twice? How do we know there wasn't some other event going on that day which might account for more ridership?
I dunno. I think Beck doesn't necessarily believe what he says, but he/does/ believe (not without justification) that his viewers are morons who will believe whatever he tells them, as long as he includes the magic incantation to tell them to do their own research.
The man's *very* well paid to spread conservative propaganda.
The Best Thing Ever was when some Bush-administration lackey took Colbert seriously enough to invite him to speak at the 2006 White House Correspondents' dinner.
That speech made Colbert forever one of my personal heroes.
This. I'm financially secure enough that I can afford to serve on a jury (I'm on standby for jury duty until 31 Oct, in fact), but it's not fair to force someone making minimum wage who's on the edge of poverty to essentially pay to be a juror. Gods help them if it's a notorious enough trial that they're sequestered for a long while.
I'd halfway expect to be preemptively challenged anyway, because I'm educated/smart enough to not be easily bullshitted by the lawyers.
Trouble is that some of mine don't give a fig about my opinion, because this area is so $PARTY that they'll get elected regardless of whether they piss off people like me.
One of them was heard to say that he doesn't represent "those people" when asked whether he'd speak to some gays who were protesting for equality, ffs.
Eh, three drinks a day is quite a bit. I'll have one shot of single-malt (mmm, Laphroaig) every few days and that's enough - I don't need to be tipsy for an hour after each meal.
Nibble, nibble. You can get Win7's experience index down as far as 1.0 if you've an old enough GPU that doesn't have a driver. I've seen ones with supported GPUs down as far as 2.9 because of their CPUs (Pentium-D 830 @ 3.0 GHz), and new Atom-powered netbooks can be lower yet because of the CPU.
Funnily enough, moving up to a real Win7 version from the Starter it was bundled with increased the experience index a fair bit, because Starter doesn't have a 3D accelerated interface. Starter gave 1.0, and Enterprise bumped it to something like 2.5.
Because once in a great while I'd forget and have a non-bootable system. Plus it's an annoying extra step that Grub doesn't make me take, so long as the filenames were the same.
This was back when I used Debian 2.x and 3.0, and usually compiled my own kernels.
Boot Camp is sub-optimal in that you can only have one non-OSX partition (unless there's something I missed?), so if you want to triple-boot OSX, Windows, and FreeBSD you're out of luck unless you use some third-party tool, or (as I did) run Wubi from Windows.

This. Pity I haven't mod points.

Mine said that test 26 passed, but took 35ms (less than 30fps). Nothing else to report.
Do you use the kind made from real or imitation babies?

You have /no/ idea how ignorant most of us 'Merkins are about civics. Even college-educated 'Merkins can be utterly in the dark about these things.
Be interesting to have someone bring up jury notification at a trial sometime, and see whether or not the judge declares a mistrial.
Now that you mention it, that's not a bad idea.
What happen?
Someone set them up the bomb.

You're trying too hard.
But why would you want to print to the iPad?
is that if you repeat it often enough, people start to believe it.
you cock-smoking teabaggers.
as "Dianetics".
That Hubbard was something else.

It's supposed to learn from your email-reading habits, so it's something like Thunderbird's Bayesian spamfilter, i.e. gaming this would be difficult.
Those people aren't covered by this. This is for new cars.
Kill yourself.

Blech. I don't miss having to re-run the thing every time I install a new kernel.
