I've seen sign-language interpreters at concerts before; live sound systems can be especially easy to feel, and this adds the aspect of watching the stage show (whether the act has a lot of bells and whistles or not). Not sure if some go without interpreters; I of course probably wouldn't be able to pick them out of the crowd.
P.S. Yeah, it's ironic when you need to ask deaf people to turn their music down.:P
Yeah, we may want to do something, but realize the practical problems with many of the things we could do. hence some people put their hands up, metaphorically speaking, but not out of apathy.
McVeigh did have an anti-Federal Government ideology, what with striking on the 2nd anniversary of Waco and all. Then again, since Article III purposely makes it hard to make treason charges stick, it make sense to nail them if they violate some other law in the process
"-1 Uninformative" would be a useful mirror to "+1 Informative", yes. Yeah, if anything, Lars is nerdcore; even that label doesn't entirely fit him (and he doesn't want to be limited to it), he's often in that territory
I'm also pissed off about that, when various forum people freak out about me posting a few hundred to a couple thousand words, about something remotely complex - it's not a doctoral dissertation, for Christ's sake!
I love that site; thing is, it's entirely voluntary and the input is unvalidated. (the webmaster is constantly trying to keep bad data out of the system)
Using that site has made it clear that many "common people" don't pay much attention to the details of their physical monetary objects, partially evidenced by the low response rate
I tend to like the look of the recent redesigns, however slowly they're being rolled out (partially hindered by an epic screwup in printing the first batch of next-generation $100s). They certainly do address the color issue, although I'd like to see the denominations remain the same size. New "paper" might be a good idea...
I do give RIT credit for switching to RIT-specific 9-digit numbers for that purpose; that change was affected a few years before I started there, I think. I've heard some other mentions of "it's FERPA rules" before.
Then again, even if a law isn't (heavily) enforced, many entities follow it anyway.
MTV's lack of music videos these days has been pointed out several times already, but there's something called COOL TV now that actually shows music videos most of the time.
Hope: Repeat the process here Cynicism: How long until the replacement channel gets messed up too
And a quote- Chelsea Handler, 2010 VMAs intro monologue: "Don't clap [for Jersey Shore] - that stuff is why MTV is not playing your videos"
First, it's "Ow My Balls" But the scary part is is that I could imagine that being quite popular today; hell, I might even tune in for a bit of lowbrow entertainment
There still can be some money to be made in working small niches; sometimes it's even an attractive alternative to trying to break into a crowded mainstream market. Alternately, a business might want to try and make money in both markets (although whether can successfully manage such distinct product lines is another issue)
Also heard the same thing said about American football; reminded of these lyrics (MC lars, Everyone's A Little Bit Gay)
It's the feeling that you get watching sports with your buddies In any room of Niners fans, half of them have chubbies Football, that's gay Milonakis had it right Guys shower in the locker room and put on pads and tights They dance around with balls and slap each others' butts If you told me that was straight then I'd tell you that you're nuts
Yes, OpenOffice is at least fairly competitive I suppose; some FOSS that's not clearly-best-in-field is at least like that. 4000+ page reports aren't part of my use case.:P
Excel _does_ handle leading zeroes easily. (I happened to notice this as a collector trying to keep track of dollar-bill serial numbers.)
(I'm working off of Office 2007; while initially starting with 2003; I happened to gain most of my poweruser experience after being switched to 2007.)
My mindset also entails looking at the particular products themselves
Apparently, you're saying that it simply doesn't concern you that much since you don't want to hack your PS3, etc. anyway.
non-car analogy time: w/r/t the Comics Code, the censorship pissed a lot of people off, but Stan Lee had once said that he wasn't too concerned since he hadn't wanted to do edgy comics anyways.
I happen to like particular products on their own merits (in this example, some music on Sony labels), and that's not negated by the horror stories since said horror stories just don't seem to affect me.
I agree that Outlook is a piece of crap (I tend to use webmail interfaces, and speaking of which, Outlook Web Access for Exchange can definitely suck it). However, Word does frankly come off as better than Writer (interface, look and feel, et cetera)
Sheesh, I'm tired of people having a problem with small acts growing up. In the mind of people like you, are they ironically too good to become successful? May not be hardcore anymore, but they're still good rock bands (we seem to just be talking a matter of personal preference.) Never got the hate for American Idiot anyway, although 21st Century Breakdown was a bit of a dud.
Even if someone talks trash about torrents or has other negative traits not related to their work, I can still like the work itself.

yeah, some things can't and shouldn't be super-condensed; that sure seems like one of 'em.
ack. s/lashdot/tormfront/g would probably have helped you when firing up your web browser today.
"-1 Uninformative" would be a useful mirror to "+1 Informative", yes.

Incidentally, WP says that stuff does exist: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_hop
Likewise, I wouldn't want too much of it at once either.
The music example would be using shuffle on a playlist that includes a bit of it.

The funny mods seem deserved, but this seems like the little detail you'd look up specifically for purposes of giving it as an example.
Wheres George? (www.wheresgeorge.com) is a game I play that revolves around user input of serial numbers (and denomination/date to form a unique key)

Trademarks and trade secrets definitely benefit from vigorous defense in this manner, but not so much for other forms of IP

You can't expect people to follow unwritten "rules" - though feel free to drop the hammer on them if they are indeed not playing by the written rules.
