Even better would be to do the deed while straddling a state border with the genitals kept in the "legal" side and the upper half lying across the "illegal" side. It's like a legal Gordian knot.
If IBM doesn't make a trackpoint-based netbook, no one will.
It's already been made. With three button mousiness and a touchscreen too. Look for the Fujitsu P1200 (Crusoe), P1510 and P16?0. These are the first modern netbook format PCs with the P1200 coming out four years ago. Granted, they didn't sell at what is now considered a consumer friendly price but the older units can be had for a steal on eBay.
That's all well and good but why did they have to go and cripple it with the horrid Sugar abomination. It's pretty much an embarrassment that something as basic as a GUI is so poorly implemented that it can drag a a 433MHz processor to its knees when there were 4MHz machines in the 80's with a mere pittance of RAM that could outperform the OLPC in usability.
There is always the used market. While shipping through eBay can be prohibitive, you can usually find a local recycler who has scads of 21" flat CRTs for less than $100.
Which leads one to question why didn't the TV execs push to have the deadline in March back when the February date was set 3 frelling years ago. These guys run billion dollar operations but they're too nearsighted to plan for this event and tell Congress what they need. Gimme a break.
Eventually, the FCC is going to start turning the screws on CableCard support to prevent the cable companies from forcing STBs on their customers. If even the Bush administration was able to resist the pleas of the cable lobby there is good reason to expect that Obama will continue this policy.
That works great until you have a scientologist with approval privileges over COS related articles and pro-lifers approving changes to the abortion page. Everything will end up white washed to suit some extremist's view.
Actually, ext4 can be mounted as ext3 provided extents are disabled when creating the ext4 fs. This may be useful for someone who wants some of the new features of ext4 but needs to mount the media on a machine that can't be upgraded to support it.
This situation was posited in David Brin's novel Earth and and he does present a compelling case for some concern. In that book a micro black hole was unknowingly created and it was able to become self-sustaining when it sunk into the Earth's core. It remained there for some time undetected until it accumulated enough mass to cause anomalous earthquakes and volcanism to crop up. This is a possible scenario for LHC too if the holes don't evaporate as expected.
A good plan is to keep some Office licenses around to ease the transition for the workers. An idea is to set up a server to perform conversions from Office binary formats to PDF or OOXML using the native apps. Since you'll only need retail licenses to deploy this you don't have to risk an MS rep finding out about serving multiple users from a single license.
Everybody likes to make fun of the backwards southerners but expressing obscenity is already a violation in New York with wonderfully vague wording for the convenience of the jackboots and brown shirts. Section 240.20 Disorderly conduct
A person is guilty of disorderly conduct when, with intent to cause public inconvenience, annoyance or alarm, or recklessly creating a risk thereof:
...
3. In a public place, he uses abusive or obscene language, or makes an obscene gesture; or
This is in the fine print for the NY disorderly conduct violation. Section 240.20 Disorderly conduct
A person is guilty of disorderly conduct when, with intent to cause public inconvenience, annoyance or alarm, or recklessly creating a risk thereof:
1. He engages in fighting or in violent, tumultuous or threatening behavior; or
2. He makes unreasonable noise; or
3. In a public place, he uses abusive or obscene language, or makes an obscene gesture; or
4. Without lawful authority, he disturbs any lawful assembly or meeting of persons; or
5. He obstructs vehicular or pedestrian traffic; or
6. He congregates with other persons in a public place and refuses to comply with a lawful order of the police to disperse; or
7. He creates a hazardous or physically offensive condition by any act which serves no legitimate purpose.
Disorderly conduct is a violation.
3 and 6 are blatantly unconstitutional, of course, but that doesn't matter much to most politicians that like having this sort of crap because it gives the police a default way to harass citizens they take an interest in.
Just have faith that there is a doppelganger Steve held in reserve (a la Kagemusha) who can maintain the pretense of his superficial personality quirks while the bees at Apple keep on producing product in demand.
A married couple has flown together on STS-47. It would be remiss of them to not have at least tried to join the 200 mile high club. Just for scientific purposes of course.
The point is that is a flawed design that promotes inadvertent errors in code just like C's '=' and '==' operators are too easy to carelessly mix up (especially when switching between other languages that use '=' for equality tests). I like Python and the white space delimiting is liberating but it is unfortunately implemented in an ad hoc way that is susceptible to easily missed breakage. A better language wouldn't depend on the sort of higher level practices you suggest to guard against these sort of mistakes.
Even better. There should be a second wave of more capable converter boxes that don't have the stupid limitations that were imposed on the current ones such as no digital audio outputs, no HD component outs, etc.
Remember that she is syndicated through her own company and isn't beholden any network or other big media corp. Also remember that she has become even more successful since she brought Dr. Phil on board and that would never have happened if she hadn't fought the beef industry lawsuit. I wouldn't be surprised if she fights this one too considering that is even more baseless than the beef thing.
Since most modern cars have digital odometers, I would presume that the GPS system will use the mileage measured from there to account for any loss of tracking during signal dropouts. This would make gaming the system difficult if they have fraud detection flags in place to check for things like unusually frequent fillups for the GPS derived mileage alone.
If DSL is a viable option then the easiest way to reduce the pork is to get a metered landline without any extra features or long distance service. Even better is to get unbundled DSL but that is rarely available.
The contractors should have just arrested the burglars on the spot. With an admission that they intended to commit a future crime they were fair game for a citizen's arrest. That would have tied them up in jail for the night and documented their actions to implicate them for any future vandalism.

I hear they call themselves the Redshirts.

How unfortunate for the outgoing administration that the best fix for the Bedlam will be a complete server wipe.
Even better. There should be a second wave of more capable converter boxes that don't have the stupid limitations that were imposed on the current ones such as no digital audio outputs, no HD component outs, etc.

I see a new series for Fox: The Lawless Files
It has a nice ring to it.
