My point is that ette is in fact both a diminutive and an effeminate. It's from the French.
My point is that ess is an effeminate that was shoehorned in about 500 years ago, for EVERYTHING. English is one of the least gendered languages there is, and that's a good thing.
It serves no actual purpose in the vast majority of cases other than to emulate other languages that are heavily gendered.
Nope. The correct word is actor. Same for waiter, steward etc.
If you're talking about titles, such as Count, or Duke, or Prince, you can go to Countess, or Duchess, or Princess if the position itself gives powers/responsibilities specifically to the wife of the holder (and thus there is actually a separate title to take on).
A (male) Steward of an estate or position being married would not (usually) confer any responsibilities or powers upon his wife, and thus, a Steward's wife was NOT a Stewardess. A (female) Steward's husband would not have a separate title either.
Today (in the US) the only one I can think of is First Lady. Were we to have a female President, I expect a full month of Wolf Blitzer and crew debating what to call her husband. Hollywood already nailed down "Madame President" (analogous to "Mr. President") through various TV shows and movies.
Congressman and Congresswoman are incorrect. Senator and Representative are correct. The two are designed to be separate, dammit. Having two Houses of Congress means literally having two damned buildings and bodies (houses) of meeting (congress) that are separate. If you really need a term for a member of either one, Congressionor is a pretty bad-ass-sounding title.
The number of tools available in Windows (and DOS / Windows XP Fake DOS) is actually pretty damned large. Most people simply don't know about them because they never have a need, or when they do have a need, simply assume there's no tool for it.
In Windows 7, you can easily uninstall IE (or so I'm told). It still keeps the files around somewhere in the system directory so moran users can reinstall "the internet" when they fuck up.
At least, this is what I've heard. I have yet to use Windows 7 (and I don't know if it's actually in the betas that are out right now).
When feasible, yes. Otherwise, we'll use directed microwaves.
There is no point to broadcasting.
And doing it terrestrially when we have a working solution that is orders of magnitude more efficient, more reliable, and less disruptive? That's retard style right there.
Why did you respond to me? You meant to respond to HTH NE1.
(The top line in my post was quoting HTH NE1. He suggested using a range of frequencies to improve efficiency and to minimize signal leeching. I said that if you did that, no one would have any incentive to broadcast on those frequencies, and there would be no "free" energy to suck up.)
No, not a disc, but a grid of thin spikes (parallel to the plane), ahead of the engine.
Everyone bitches about not being able to dodge the birds because the plane moves straight and can't turn quickly.
Use that to your advantage. Put a little frame of thin metal poles far enough ahead of the engine that it doesn't block the airflow. If a bird is on a collision course with the engine, it'll hit the spikes and get stuck. Make the spiked long enough to stack several birds. If it breaks, it breaks. You survived a bird attack, and that spiked grid will just fall to earth and hopefully impale some people.

Although never productive, the -ess morpheme is used incorrectly in English words like actress to indicate a female noun.
Fixed that for you.
Consider the cigar and the cigarette.
Pirouette and pirouet.

Or you know, just type ftp://ftp.mozilla.org into windows explorer.
Or in the run box.
Or, in a command line, run: ftp ftp.mozilla.org

No.
No first-run wizards, tours, or other such bullshit.
Please make it as easy as possible to automate all parts of the installation.
And you could always download updates manually in XP.

I take it you and none of your peers use wireless?
At least make it semi-readable.
recText() {

echo "The `recText 10 "liberal media news"`"
"The liberal news media is a conservative myth" is a liberal media myth.

You got whooshed too, even though you're just following my posts to troll me.
What a loser.

Um, you obviously aren't familiar with the physics involved.
You'd get much more use out of a primitive ICE than you would out of a radio tower of power.
Deflecting it around the engine is harder than you'd think, those things suck in a lot of air.
Plus when it breaks off it's not a spikey death ball with bird carcasses.
Why not stick a shield in front of the engine?
No, not a disc, but a grid of thin spikes (parallel to the plane), ahead of the engine.

Do you know how incredibly inefficient a power broadcast system would be?
Do you know the rate at which said power broadcast would drop off with regards to range?
Simple physics.
I made that joke.
Whoosh?

Stop using logic and reason.
This is slashdot, and somebody needs a research grant.
But if they sequester a range of frequencies specifically for wireless power usages....
No one would use them for broadcast, and thus, no "free" energy to suck up.
Macaroni?
