I've often wondered if emacs is really a microsoft producct.
Think about it, it 1) requires all currently available resources, and then some [1] 2) Tries to do absolutely everything. 3) Is downright hostile to all other existing standards.
However, I decided that it wasn't, as it is missing #4) 4) Crashes a lot.

[1] OK, it's much better about this today, but historically it started with massive demands which grew just as fast as machines added resources.
Now, having known a number of Bostonians, and a few others from New England, I'll grant that they can be hard to understand. (I remember our class spending a couple of weeks trying to figure out what an "eyedeer" was . ..).
However, even with *that* twisted of a sound, "fewer" and "less" hardly sound close enoguh to each other to confuse . ..

Not quite. The USC definition is what the word meant in 1789. It's not an interpretation,, but a codification of something that wasn't in dispute.

You over-dilute here. They were indeed written after the Constitution itself--by it's authors, and as the principal arguments for adoption of the argument. While they're not binding legal authority, they are strongly persuasive authority..
There are other interpretations of that section that reasonably argue that there are limits to those rights.
Certainly. But any "interpretation" that tries to set aside the clear meaning of the word "militia" in the late eighteenth century is a fraud.
A liquor storr by my college was, err, more than a little sloppy about selling to minors.
They did, however, requrie a driver's license to use a check. I knew several minors who bought beer this way . ..
It took about two years before teh ABC actually closed them down (and their telling a couple of people, "You'll have to come back later; there's an ABC agent outside." probably didn't helm them much:)

I think that's the problem. 5.0 cries for mommy under even moderate load, unless SMP is disabled...
???
I've had this machien running SMP 5.0 for over three years, running 24/7.
I have no clue what you're talking about. Sure, mozilla can be slow to respond when the load is at about 30 or 50, but X remains crisp.
And yes, I have kept it at double-digit loads for days on end while still working on other things.

Make three public access channels (national/state/local) that are devoted solely to campaigns.

well, duh.
Think of your last visit to Frys.
Think of your interactions with the employees.
Sure, there are a handfull who know what they're doing, or wehere they are, or what they stock . . . but would *you* pay most of them $5/hour?

I've argued for that and a ban on most power equipment for a while.
Then there's my father, who wants to ban syncronized transmissions as well.
Shall we go for automatic choke and spark advance while we're at it? And maybe that pesky, new-fangled electric starter?

Actually, you've hit the *real* reason we split.
We *don't* have the same units. Those slimey limeys shortchanged us. It takes, for example, six "colonial" gallons to match five "imperial" gallons.
17% off the top of *every* glass of beer.

send the stripes independently.
Make sure that there are at least three with reudundancy so that loss of a stripe or two is not catastrophic.
