Have you actualy read the licence, or the quotes from it people have been quoting? The authors did not avoid contract law because a licence is by definition a contract.
Ok, try this, take red paint, blue paint and green paint, then mix them, You'll get an ugly brownish mix. This is color subtraction, and is what happens when you have dyes that absorb some light and reflect other light. Now take those same three paints and paint a top, then spin the top, the wheel will apear white, because you are reflecting each of the lights, but you don't subtracively absorb each of the lights. an LCD projector selectivly transmits light, so each pixel is set to allow a certain amount of red, a certain amount of green and a certain amount of blue to pass through. the image is then reflected off a screen some distance away. So it still works, transmit - rgb absorb -cmy
Red Green and Blue are used for color addition, CMY are used for color subtraction. Any reflective media uses either subtraction or non-overlaping dots. Color film has always been CMY, because it's overlaying translucent layers in contact with a reflective surface. That's why Photo Printers also use CMY(K)
Baen is realy nice to, if you like Military SF and fantasy. They have a nice free library, and none of their e-books are DRM encumbered. Once you've burned through the free library the non-gratis e-books aren't that expensive either, and still not DRM encumbered. You may also want to check out Project Gutenberg for some older fiction.
What's this pay more of which you speak? I've never in my life had to pay for mozilla. You're talking crazy talk. Moz is free software, and you can download it gratis, or be given it gratis from a buddy.
Yeah, I was just sharing my experiance. it's not exactly what was asked for, but it's simple. The act of throwing the disk with a spring powered clay pigeon thrower also spins it up considerably.
During the first Gulf War I heard 95% literacy quoted for Iraq in the news, but I forget which outlet. I think maybe ABC. Of course that was 13 years ago, but it's kinda odd for it to drop that much in such a short time. Of course the numbers I heard may have been wrong to.
CDs fit perfectly into a clay pigeon thrower, not the mechanical type, but the spring loaded type you use to throw them by hand realy far. I don't know how much this helps though. Clay pigeons are cheap, but I guess if you realy want to take out frustration on AOL this works.
If there are restrictions on what you can do with wiring, wi-fi is probably a good idea, as long as you use encryption, such as WEP. if you can lay wire, ethernet would be the way to go, at least for a single building dwelling. having a WAP may be a good idea anyway, even if you can lay wire for those who want it, but it realy depends on your situation.
A true icon of what our culture is, what we hope, and what we fear. Some parts read a little oddly with the way technology realy went, but all in all a great book.
Well, as one of those tin-foil wearing Slashdoters I'd have to say that this is an example of yet more Limbo Journalism by the editors, how low can we go folks? Letting the UN step all over free speach this way?
Over rated? how the hell did I get modded overrated? If you feel my rating of 1 is to high, please, have a reason why it should be lowered. There are 3, Troll, flamebait, and offtopic. Overrated is for when there's realy not a good description of why a post doesn't deserve a score. It's generaly to be perserved for posts that get modded up to 5 that realy are only worth a 4 or 3, if it's the default, un-modified score, you should score it properly.
Britain isn't "surrounded" by other cultures, it has them to the south, and to the east. British English was formed by repeated invations of the british isles. American English has been influenced by repeated waves of immigrants. While it's somewhat isolated, it has had a rather high level of immigration, which does create a lot of cultural influx. Also, the way I read the post was he was refering to those who hate windows, not those who thing his arguments are stupid. My main bitch was that you were using the wrong source to bitch about. I'll admit it, I am a shameless troll on not so rare occations.
Typo: a mistake in typing. it's pretty damned usless to attack them unless you're just a stupid dick who's unable to make a cogent argument. Does this describe you?
sorry, I didn't bother to spell check. Truly illterate or functionaly illterate are distinctions that simply not that usefull. It is scary that in prose literacy we ranked so low on people with 1-3 years of college, however that statistic may simply mean that more americans with poor literacy don't realise they have poor literacy, and attempt college.
The logistical issues are why they couldn't get the popular vote to even come close to working. You do have some good points. Oh, and there is a situation where any governmental change can come into place, it's call popular revolution. Unfortunatly those are hard to win, and even harder to keep from becoming despotisms. Perhaps some of us should pool our resources and emmigrate to the moon, set up a Republic of Luna, and write a constitution that more redily reflects the modern era, like a "less ambiguous" second ammendment. "Any member of congress who proposes a law limiting the right of free persons to keep and bear arms shall be spaced, and yes this means ALL arms, including nuclear and new arms not yet invented"
I didn't experience any rain fade when I had dish network. I don't know if this is just because I was lucky or because the rain fade phenomenon is overblown. maybe it's because dish 500 uses a digital signal, would you mind giving me more information on this phenomenon?

And how does this stop them from giving a mozilla CD with the computer but not installing it for the user?

Were the PCs always on? how did the internal temperatures compare? Could you afford one of the servers to go down?

but CDs aren't airfoil shaped, so they don't fly as well once they get close to the same weight.

My God that's depressing. A country poorer than afganistan has better literacy than us. If I didn't think suicide was wrong I'd slit my wrists.

Did I read the same thread as you Mr. AC? Didn't realy look like a joke to me.

Come on folks, nothing to see here, just another example of the standard slashdot Limbo Journalism, how low can you go?
