Around here (foothills), the signs are posted everywhere because the dirt naturally contains asbestos. It's not like there's much anyone can do about dirt except move, so maybe it's be more useful to publish a map highlighting the few areas that are safe to live in.
Hitching a ride from Mars to Earth isn't too hard. From Earth to Titan is essentially impossible... not only is it many times further, but anything making it to Saturn would be sucked into Saturn's gravity well, not Titan's.
Every senator's vote counts the same. Biden is already in the senate, so if he's elected VP the real difference maker will be whoever replaces his old senate seat.
A person of average intelligence simply can't learn calculus. I'm considered above average, but it took me two tries to pass Calculus I, a C- in Calc II, and finally a horrendously low F in differential equations pressed me to give up. (Throw in an F in physics, and three consecutive flunkings of data structures, and that's why I ended up a philosophy major... where I got near-perfect grades.)
Speaking as someone who makes a living from my copyrighted software, I agree that it's different from physical property and I'd like to see a 5 year copyright term on software (20 years might be more appropriate for other media). I've public-domained my five year old stuff anyway.
Iran doesn't have much ability to generate its own power -- they don't have enough refineries, so they have to import refined oil. Nuclear plants could well be a cheaper strategy to generate power.
China suffers a lot more terrorist attacks than the United States does right now. Most countries do. One attack doesn't make an epidemic, no matter how bad it is.
The GPL says nothing about what applications you can include on CD you sell. An expensive linux distro can ship with crossover and Microsoft Office if it wants to.
One guy selling proprietary software won't impose political views, because he doesn't want angry former-customers and possible lawsuits. The open source contributor can be anonymous, and anonymity makes people more willing to do such things.
Did you notice how well breaking up AT&T worked? It created absolutely no competition and no advantages at all for consumers. Letting AT&T put itself back togeather is, frankly, more consumer friendly.
We didn't use to worship the almighty dollar.
You must be reminicing about a time before the dollar was introduced as currency. Money-worship was stronger in the past than it is today. Hell, it used to be perfectly acceptable to buy and sell people.
I'll guarantee you bad publicity anyway, and a disaster when one of them demands an emergency rescue mission so he can spend his last months with his family.
If I thought that "evil" way, I'd download it -- I'd love to get Moonlight in the standard installation, since it's so hard to install otherwise. As for mono, almost any gnome distro includes it.
As it is, though, I don't believe opensuse offers any special microsoft perks so I'll stick with kubuntu.

Bush doesn't have much in common with Constant. Try Donald Trump, maybe.

If Obama/Biden lose, Biden will still be casting that vote in the senate as a senator. We're stuck with him either way, it makes no difference.

In my neighborhood, AT&T disguises their equipment as pioneer churches: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lectroidmarc/372609722/

Because people just love having their homes and business razed on the promise that a greener version will be built in a decade or three.
Or just go to the beach and observe that the horizon curves.

Commercial free (like flash player, for example) is different from paid software. CNR allows you to buy software.
Copying one file is a lot?
It's a linux success. You're talking about GNU. It's not filed under GNU.
interviews with "average Americans on the street" saying that Buddhists are terrorists
Those are just Americans who keep up with the news out of Sri Lanka. Plenty of Buddhist terrorists out there.
It was his choice not to fight the premeditated part, by pretending he hadn't done it at all.

I don't recall any realistic alternatives to Netscape 4, back around '99. Maybe I wasn't looking hard enough.

I tell you - you could become a millionaire today if you truly wanted to.
Yeah, but I'd spend the rest of my life in prison for it.
Becoming rich after starting poor, without sacrificing morals, requires a lot of luck in addition to a whole lot of hard work.
So install a flying-human detector in the windsheild that'll take steps to ensure they're dead (and thus cheap).
