Never mind you electric car drivers, what about we poor bicyclists and pedestrians who can't hear you coming?
I'd like to suggest new electric cars be equipped with Jetsons-style "whuwuwuwuwuuwu" sounds as a safety feature. Actually, this might very well be an untapped commercial opportunity: custom car sound effects. Drive a wagon train! Drive a steam train! Drive the U.S.S. Enterprise! Be ironic and drive a Hummer!
That being said, does the nature of the World Wide Web in fact give sites like Wonkette, Drudge, or even Slashdot a free pass on accuracy if it means the difference between getting the scoop or not?"
This really is a nonsensical spin on this story, and also the wrong question to be asking. Wonkette, Drudge, and even Slashdot can put whatever the heck they want to online. It is up to the reader to decide, based on multiple criteria, whether or not they believe/trust/put stock in the information's deliverer.
If you as reader use no criteria as filters, if you blindly believe any site, info, data, gossip, or especially scoop, you deserve what you get. That goes for both the online world and the offline.
That said, it's amusing how little humans change despite this new technology we're all enjoying. Gossip columnists and gossips in general have always been with us, have always been attractive to us, and no doubt will always be, even when we're beaming our thoughts at each other telepathically in our lifepods in orbit around the Sedna refuelling station.

Or you could use the open-source Darwin Streaming Server for free -- on Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris 9, or Windows 2000/2003 server -- and send out open-standard, high-quality MPEG-4 streams for your users.
"Tomorrow I want you to take that R2 unit into Anchorhead and have its memory flushed.... and while you're at it, take the L1 units, the L2 units, that N2 unit behind Aunt Beru...no, don't get Aunt Beru's memory flushed, take the N2 unit that's behind her--never mind, I'll do it myself!"
If she wants to say "no way!" does she just make Mario stand there and let the barrels hit him until he runs out of lives? Or does she simply unplug the joystick and leave the room?;)
Regarding TextEdit, one can use images in it. Try dragging one into a document. In fact, you can drag MP3s, movies, whatever into it as well, and play them.
What you will be saving will be an.rtfd document (well, technically a folder), rather than a plain.rtf file, that includes the other media files.
For the nth time, AAC is not "Apple's DRM technology." It is part of the MPEG-4 specifications. More info here.. To quote:
AAC was developed by the MPEG group that includes Dolby, Fraunhofer (FhG), AT&T, Sony, and Nokia--companies that have also been involved in the development of audio codecs such as MP3 and AC3 (also known as Dolby Digital). The AAC codec in QuickTime 6 builds upon new, state-of-the art signal processing technology from Dolby Laboratories and brings true variable bit rate (VBR) audio encoding to QuickTime.
It's hard for a product that doesn't exist to become too popular. If Adobe had actually produced a Mac OS X version of FrameMaker in the 4+ years that Mac OS X has been around, perhaps consumers might have been able to vote with their wallets, but not even a crappy carbonized version was to be had. Talk about your self-fulfilling prophesies.

I have a lot of resistance to that sort of humor.

Anyone who leaves Uma "swingin' in the breeze" deserves to be taken out back and have some pain shared with them, Linux community or no. ;)
Sometimes when someone publishes so much crap, it fills up the ditch, buoying up the publisher in question. ;)
I guess he counts as a mathematician.
;)
How else would he?
Never mind that, they're using a tag to achieve it! The horror! ;)

A banjo is better tuned with a hammer.
Are you referring to a tuning hammer or to one you might find in, say, a hardware store? I guess it depends on how good a banjo player your wife is!
(Sorry... my wife plays banjo)
Ooooh, so much for that.

Is this the line you're talking about? Do you happen to know how much they run?

I was told there would be no math in these comments!
But I fee that they will become less relevant.

Boy, sometimes a typo just says it all, doesn't it?

Bah .. using program to do it is not l33t. I did it in vi
;)
And since vi is a program, you are not l33t. Boy, the syllogistic jokes just write themselves sometimes, don't they?
I'm quite impressed that a pigeon can do 100km in 2.5 hours though, I had no idea they were *that* fast...

Well, they were flying downhill at the time.

Apple says it has performance, stability, and organization ehancements

Not to be a spelling nazi, but that should be eHancements.
Apple would make one with only one nipple and the rest of you would be up in arms about it! ;)
