I sure hope you aren't saying this as an argument against wind. Every little bit counts in this energy battle: a mature approach will tap many different sources of power. Also, if there is a suruplus at some times, then energetically intensive industrial operations can be scheduled for those times (for instance, aluminum refining).

Every time I have opened up a computer and started it up, I have been forced to click "Yes, I accept these license terms" when starting Windows the first time.
In fact, I believe that, since there is a phrase to the extent of, "If you don't accept this license, you may return it to the seller for a refund," you actually can get rid of MS junk (see this happy story)! Though, the follow up suggests that it is hard, if not impossible, to do this.
The "right" unit of temperature measurement would be eV, or the Planck system of units. That's right: units of energy. It gives twice the average energy per degree of freedom of an object at said temperature. In this system, the Boltzmann constant would be equal to 1, as it should be and would have been had we known chemistry before coming up with the idea of "temperature".
Room temperature is about 1/40 eV on this scale, or 25.3 meV. Water boils at 32.2 meV and freezes at 23.5 meV. Absolute zero is, of course, 0 meV.
Notwithstanding the rest of your comment, from
wikipedia:
The results illustrate that S cones are randomly placed and appear much less frequently than the M and L cones. The ratio of M and L cones varies greatly among different people with regular vision.
S, M, and L stand for short, medium, and long wavelength. That is, there are fewer "blue" cones than "red" or "green."
If you aren't buying a computer for a couple years there's a very good chance that all your present software will be perfectly supported under Wine (or, at least better than the alternatives for that same software).
Office 2000 and Photoshop 7 work pretty well darn well under Wine for me today (granted not perfectly, though).
Why exactly are you convinced that Hilary would be lenient with the present administration? out of diplomacy with a possibly republican congress? should I be wearing my tin-foil hat?
Also, for that matter, there is no clear Democratic candidate yet (Obama is definitetly not dead in the water)... why so convinced Obama would not be elected?
I think you misspelled "perfectly compatible VBA Macros." Pivot tables are supported, and have been for a while. The interface is different, but I think all the features are present.
The real problem with Excel is going to be the macros and consequential integration, many of which are sophisticated and may be very expensive

I see it a bit differently: There are a lot of people. Sure, some people will NOT buy music because they can get it for free.
But, if music is good it will be both pirated and bought. I am not saying that piracy is GOOD for the industry, or that it
improves sales (although it may).
However, there SHOULD be a POSITIVE correlation between piracy and sales: no one is going to pirate something they don't want.
Geeks are inundated with sexist nonsense from Slashdot, so it is normative for them to believe it even if they are otherwise highly logical. So, to follow through on the nerdy-ness of this post, is this theory model complete?

I stand corrected. And feel much better about the world, too.
Exactly. Had proper protocols been followed, the data would have been encrypted, and this would not have been a story.
Instead, they are checking if their encoding could be reversed, and thousands of patients information has been put at risk.
Proprietary compressions and encodings: the poor man's encryption... Except that it costs a buttload
If anyone else were to suggest this approach, none of us would suspect foul play.

I think what you meant was "UNIX permissions are just that flexible." Most people don't want to know how their computer works, or change its behavior.
However, this could easily be implemented in distributions (I am looking at you, Ubuntu).
What's the time frame you are talking about?

No, because big business is "conservative" and anything else is "liberal" in this strange age of ours.
Yes, but when it's vista-bashing, it's news for nerds.
It's also a holiday... a slow news day.
Honest question (I am just curious):
Why exactly are you convinced that Hilary would be lenient with the present administration? out of diplomacy with a possibly republican congress? should I be wearing my tin-foil hat?
Also, for that matter, there is no clear Democratic candidate yet (Obama is definitetly not dead in the water)... why so convinced Obama would not be elected?

So, in short, you are agreeing that MS's behavior is anticompetitive?
Three (two?) words: Vendor lock-in.

Funny... I would expect there to be positive correlation:
music pirated <=> music desired <=> music sold <=> profit!
Actually, this is support for that position, not?
The humanity! and don't even start about what he did to the pumpkin!
RMS used proprietary software, and even wrote some for LMI.
Assuming you did not actually kill 15 people, the tag "informative" might suggest a grave misunderstanding.
Assuming you did... well, then that terrifies me even more.
It terrifies me that this was modded informative.
