Those sound like they could be good for craft projects. A computer store I used to frequent until they went out of business had a very nice clock on the wall made out of a 5.25" hard drive. It's not worth the effort for me to make one of those, but I'd probably pay $20 to buy one.
It has nothing to do with anyone's rights That depends on whether you consider a fetus to be a person or not, or to what degree of "sort-of". You're never going to convince anyone of anything by starting with an assumption that a fetus is a child, because anyone who buys that (why they would, I can't fathom) is probably already on your side.

Anyone coming from an Oracle background to work with SQL Server can easily get a totally unscalable DB. The reverse can be true, as well. PL/SQL code generally needs to be much more procedural, where T-SQL is both faster and easier if you try to stick to working in sets.
Oracle's locking is unreservedly better, but I always wonder how much of a price I'm paying for it. It can't be easy for the server to maintain multiple versions of data and remember which one to serve up for each connection.
Wasn't one of the very early third-generation programming languages designed by a woman? I can't remember which language, though... COBOL, Admiral Grace Hopper.
TVs lacking the capability of being upgraded That would have to be a TV with only a built-in antenna and nothing else. I don't think I've ever seen such a thing. Even the 12" black and white sets my sister and I shared when we were kids had an attached antenna that connected to screw terminals on the back; you could attach something else, instead.
It seems that 12.5K per kid per year is not enough in Minneapolis but a fraction of that is enough at a Catholic school.. Catholic schools are also generally sharing facilities and probably some staff with a church.
My son's school charges twice the tuition of the local Catholic schools and struggles to get by.
Anyone who promotes partial birth abortion (intact dilation and extraction procedure) has no character. You know, we don't all have the same moral views. For instance, I would consider Sarah Palin failing to abort her most recent kid, and encouraging her daughter to keep her fetus, to be immoral.
no matter who gets elected president the direction the government is going is the same, the rich & powerful will continue getting more money and power while whittling away at fair use and the rights of citizens, GWB created a debt that will not be paid off for decades...
But if a Republican gets to replace John Paul Stevens or Ruth Bader Ginsberg before Scalia or Thomas retire, the idea that we have three roughly equal branches of government will be basically dead for the forseeable future.
That's Change IN WHICH YOU CAN BELIEVE!! If I ever run for president and try to appeal to urban elites, you can be sure I'll at least refrain from ending my campaign slogan in a preposition. Right, because a preposition is a bad word to end a sentence with.
Which is why I am voting 3rd party this election. I do not believe either major party candidate is worthy of my vote. This year we have both the best Democratic candidate *and* the best Republican candidate we've had since 1996. Of course, I voted Libertarian that year because I would have been perfectly happy with either Dole or Clinton.
Ignorance of the law should be a defense if you can prove the government tried to make it so you wouldn't know it. We don't need to go that far. When the law is a profession with specialties, ignorance must be a defense to any reasonable person.
Its pretty cool that your car gets better milage than any of their current production models get. Have you looked at the Chrysler cars sold now, and back around 2000 when the Concorde was being sold? The current ones all look like bricks, while the 2000 models (cars, if not SUV's) were all as sleek as you could make a car without putting the cover on the rear wheels like the old Insights did.
Also, the guy claims to drive 55 on the highway. The official ratings are probably done at 65 or higher.
There is strong evidence that dinosaurs were in fact warm blooded and were not reptiles. Many actually lived in colder climates in the northern regions of the globe. My sister is a biologist and she was telling me they don't really consider "reptile" to be a terribly useful classification, anymore. Dinosaurs, turtles, snakes and lizards, crocodiles (I *think* those were the three reptile groups) and birds are all related to each other to a similar degree.
Then where's the body? Still in the tomb, if there really was a Jesus (a matter of some dispute). The claims that the body disappeared weren't written down until after the people who would have seen that were probably dead.

For instance, viewing code in cvsweb or svn web gateway Not familiar with those, sorry.
Most code uses some alignement (for instance #defines) It does? It's been a while since I've done C (1995?), but I don't remember it particularly caring about spaces in the #define.
which is done by the compiler writing a static method on *your* class and rewriting your code to call that static method when it looks like you are calling an instance method. My understanding was that it was making it appear as though the class had a new method within your code, while leaving it alone for other people's code. I've only read about it, though, and I don't remember how the scope was managed; within one class is awfully narrow.
I have added methods to core classes in Ruby, and it seemed like a good approach. I do think the way Ruby lets you add methods to individual objects is going a bit far, though.
Personally I find the whole concept of using an invisible character with both undefined and variable width to be absurd. Tabs mean I can view code with four space indenting, you can view the same code with two space and someone else can view it with eight space. Besides, a tab's whole purpose is indenting. And if you didn't use spaces, you wouldn't have problems.
For instance Java having static, sealed, unchangeable core classes makes a lot of programs harder to write then say in smalltalk, but overall it makes Java a better language. No, it doesn't. Starting with 2008, C# is letting you associate new methods with existing classes.
The alternative to a regular expression is usually a very convoluted parser that's a lot of effort to support. Currently, sure. I think regular expressions have proven pretty well that a domain specific language (DSL) for string scanning is a positive thing, and that structuring the DSL by matching the order of the string is a viable way to do that. It does not follow from that, though, that the syntax needs to look like line noise.
I always am able to find the car I want in a manual. If you want a new car and you prefer small cars (I do), yes. Looking for a used car, you can generally expect a dealer to have one or two sticks on the lot.
I agree with raw speed isn't the main killer, people not paying attention is the biggest problem, but unfortunately that cannot be 'fixed'. Speed helps me pay better attention.
I realize if I have an accident in Ohio, it's not going to do as much damage as if I have an accident in Michigan because I'll be going slower, but the low Ohio speeds, combined with the lack of terrain (which Michigan shares), is positively stupefying for highway driving. On the other hand, I've been driving slower lately to save gas, anyway.

I don't know about Silverlight, but with AJAX sites, you can still cut-and-paste normally.
Mine wants a PS3 but can't tell me why she'd like it over the massively cheaper 360.
Because you can't watch Blu-Ray porn on the 360?

Yeah, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that's a hardware problem.

Ruby has special delimiters for beginning and ending a regex, and then a regex is its own type as much as a string is, pretty much like Perl.
I think Ruby's general design goal was to be good at what Perl is good at, without being so perverse.
