Well, yes, they did move atoms with precision in 1989 (from TFA), but moving things and measuring the force required are two different things. If you know the exact forces you can automate the process much more effectively as no manual checking is needed.
everytime I tried to manually enter in my network encryption parameters manually, the next time Ubuntu booted it just ignored it and locked onto the strongest unencrypted signal.
Were you using nm-applet and the keyring? I've never had a problem doing it like that.
Chances are, that "new feature" of which you speak is already in Firefox 3 or one of the many extensions. And if not, code it yourself. It's open source after all.
Don't forget that the Vietnam war began under a Democratic president and ended under a Republican one
Gee, haven't heard that one before...I'm glad you enjoy looking at a single fact in a long conflict.
Despite the common, status-quo-serving wisdom, I insist that the only way for your vote to mean a goddamn thing is to vote for a third party.
I don't know about that, but I do know that with today's system voting for a third party certainly makes your vote means you enjoy pretending that your single vote can make a difference. Seriously, you're not going to change anything by voting for a third party; at best a person you can tolerate will win the election, and at worst...well...you get the picture. Sure, it may seem like voting for a third party is an exercise of freedom, but at the moment, it's nothing more than an exercise in futility.
In response to the parenthetical statement, I hope that the Green Party does not vote for Nader. In the last two elections the people have spoken and not voted for Nader in increasing numbers. At the very least they should nominate someone else no one will vote for.
And for the record, I don't agree 100% with the Democratic party but I'd much rather have them win. It would be nice if we had a multiple-party system in which other parties stood a chance, but we won't anytime in the near future. And no, even mobilizing a large amount of voters for a third party won't make that change because they're highly unlikely to win enough states over to win the electoral college.
From the New York Times article today that announces he is, in fact, running:
"Not a chance," he said. "If the Democrats can't landslide the Republicans this year, they ought to just pack up, close down, and re-emerge in a different form."
Since it's clear he holds views much closer to democrat than republican, why is he even running and raising the chance he'll be a spoiler again?
Their greatest strategy is to keep confusing the issue and trying to keep from clarifying differences because otherwise they have no case. Remember that there are still people who think that the internet is "a series of tubes" or the like, and it doesn't take much to get a judge to rule in their favor simply because he fails to understand the difference between "blocking" and "throttling", at least in internet terms.
I think you're referring to MSDAA...they're free for the students but the individual colleges pay for what's basically a cheap volume license. Conveniently they leave out Office from their offerings on MSDNAA...since, you know, their map programs are so much more useful.
Gates said students will want to try Microsoft's tools because they're more powerful than the open-source combination of Linux-based operating systems, the Apache Web server, the MySQL database and the PHP scripting language
Not only as a Linux guy but as someone who has used both sets of products frequently...do they really think people don't search around and will believe that, especially if they're student developers?
...or they could calculate the trajectory of the satellite as it is, figure out where it would land with its current momentum, and then shoot something to collide with it to make it land somewhere in the U.S.
And here I though the aerospace industry was full of physicists....
As you probably know well, there were many books written after ROTJ detailing the events thereafter and not so many written about what happened before ANH. So, rather than contradict all of the fan fiction, Lucas is choosing to tell stories in a relatively uncharted Star Wars era.
This is also one of the reasons Lucas has given for not making any more movies describing the events after ROTJ.

I, then, look forward to getting internet access from The Pirate Bay.

Oh yeah, I forgot about "3. Turn off caching". Good catch.
It's been my experience that the extensions and multiple open tabs cause bloat, not Firefox itself.
Relax; this isn't IE we're talking about.

Yes.
To the first question: you can't.
To the second question: no.
But it sure looks great on paper to the general public!

But how is this more than simply a logical extension of computer interaction (and therefore not patentable)?

After reading some of your other comments in the article, I retract that statement as the true political leaning is clear.
I do have one thing to say though: relax.
I take it you're a Republican, then?
Which is how Bush gained the presidency. People went to the polls with their hearts and a false sense of morality instead of their minds.
This is a country we're talking about, not the leader of your local group. Use your head.
Which is great, at least for Comcast.

Which is why I doubt Linux users are exactly "clamoring" for it.
Why doesn't Google aid with some already free software to make it better in this case? Did they make a deal with Adobe now?
They already do for $40,000, and if you try to resell it you have to buy another 9 of them to keep your membership.
You're right: it's exactly the same from a student standpoint.
From an broader standpoint, what they're planning to offer now is actually free instead of being subsidized by universities. There's the difference.
Sorry: MSDNAA

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'll pass on this one...
Except that, due to oversight, it will not be left to the Attorney General.
