I guess this comes down to one's definition of 'incest'. The forbidden relations (for men) were:
Mother
Step-mother
Sister
Step-sister
Grandchildren
Aunt
Daughter-in-law
Sister-in-law
Any woman + woman's daughter/granddaughter pair
Wife's sister (while wife is still living)
Married women (to someone else)
Women on their period
Men
Animals
!Wife (They were polygynous at the time)
Cousins don't fall under these rules. And in any case, these are the rules laid down at Moses' time. AFAIK, Noah and family didn't have any explicit rules on the matter.
No.
A station with something like the quick-charge garage setup mentioned several times already in this thread has a better chance of succeeding than physically swapping batteries. And even those might not succeed. They would need to sell their electricity for a profit, which might cost more than the garage system would save consumers over time.
I don't see how this situation really helps apple or linux either.
It dramatically weakens the "user familiarity" argument. 7 is different enough that users will need some retraining anyways. So why not train them on a relatively unchanging interface, such as Gnome?
Weakens vendor lock-in. Transitioning to a new system is always a dicey proposition in regards to compatibility with the old system. Not everything works (See:.doc). Wait long enough, and WINE/OpenOffice/Evolution/etc. might become more compatible. Or, your app gets so old and crusty that it no longer does the job, but $CURRENT_VERSION is radically unfamiliar.
Gmail uses +'s. As in, username+foo@gmail.com will come to username's inbox. You can then use the filters to sort mail on that address (such as to the spam or trash folders.
Even worse, they had no way of knowing if they might accidentally cause a full out earthquake by the explosions, which would obviously defeat the purpose (and kill many people).
If we leave it be, an earthquake would happen anyways. It's just a matter of when. With the nuke method, "when" is a controllable variable. "When" can be "after we have warned everybody in the surrounding 300 miles incessantly for the past 6 months".
My gf knows that Linux is on her computer, but even so, she can't understand why she can't go to BestBuy and get software.
Does she, by chance, understand that you can't generally install Windows apps under Mac (Parallels notwithstanding)?
If so, you could use that as an example.
Or why she can't download Silverlight.
Because it's evil.
If you put Linux on a machine and don't explain the difference between it and Windows, then you're just asking for trouble.
Again, drawing parallels between Linux:Windows and Mac:Windows could help immensely.
If tomorrow it suddenly became physically impossible to listen to music without paying for it, would these friends of yours all sit in silence for the rest of their lives? No. They'd buy some music.
You foresee an end to radio in the near future?
As for myself, most of the music I am exposed to these days is theme songs.

I assume every computer was turned on first thing in the morning?
I can't name any case where that was regarded as other than a Bad Thing.
If the market rate is 10%, and the government gives them the loan at 4%, the government is giving them the 6% difference as a handout.
Yes, because every time a company underbids another to get a contract, that is equivalent to writing a check.
battery swapping is the key.
No.

I beat the rush with whatever alpha had the 2.6.28 kernel. ;-)

Oops. Out of time...
the time where people used to literally stay in line to upgrade an OS are over.
Only because there isn't a "line" for getting Ubuntu.
political decisions in Hungary only have one purpose: to steal as much as possible before the upcoming elections.
Less money spent on MS Office means more money for stealing. The ex-politicians spend lavishly, stimulating the economy.
SUSE is Slackware in disguise
With package management and YAST.
I think you can use periods, as well.
Dying in a fire...I've had worse things happen to me in my life.
I, for one, welcome our undead overlords.
Gmail uses +'s. As in, username+foo@gmail.com will come to username's inbox. You can then use the filters to sort mail on that address (such as to the spam or trash folders.
I use 2 emails, one for spam and one for private mails. Now both my emails are full of junk...
It should be:
One for email from IT persons.
One for registration confirmation and chainmail-forwarders.
Kill three birds with one stone.
That depends on the type of bomb. Gun-type fission bombs use 2 "stones"

add more Java
Hey, you're right! That really is the solution!
Too paraphrase the answer:
"Sun's stock price plummet.
Electronic voting machines are not analog devices and they don't suffer 'calibration drift'.
Every touchscreen I've ever known has drifted. Palm Pilots, PoS machines, etc.
The reason new hardware that locks out Microsoft won't help Linux is that it doesn't exist.
ARM? Although it is more accurately said that MS locks themselves out of that one.
Exactly! The industry will need to settle on maybe 3 desktop distros (light, medium, pro)...
Light–Ubuntu
Medium–SUSE
The people using "Pro" distros (Gentoo, Slackware) should know how to handle it themselves.
See: Ford Pinto
Small people simply aren't capable of such far-reaching negligence.
If you think Gimp is even close to the same as Photoshop, you are smoking crack.
Am I missing something?
