It's not even that. At the point that Marty mentions knowing her name, they haven't changed anything yet that would stop her from going into the canyon (I could be wrong about this, been a while since I watched number 3). Therefore nothing in his past would have changed yet and he would still know her name. It's only after they interfere that Marty would forget her, but then he interfered and would obviously know her.
Why wouldn't Marty know the name of the teacher? At the point that he mentions her name she is still on track to go into the canyon. For Marty nothing should have changed.
The simplest solution is to have an encrypted file that doesn't look like an encrypted file. Jpg with a TrueCrypt archive attached at the end is never going to be detected unless someone is explicitly looking for it.
The problem with hard drives is it's all dumb luck. I've had the exact opposite experience. I have almost a dozen WD that have been running great for as long a 4 years, but I have one Seagate that died in 2 months.
Mechanical hard drives have very random failure rates and you just have to pick a company with good customer service.
The version of the Source engine that TF2 ran on and the version that CSS ran on were not the same until about a month ago. Valve released several changes to the Source engine to go along with the Orange Box. CSS wasn't updated to run on that version of the engine until recently. Benefit the changes were probably not to drastic so the port work to either update CSS or port the old engine shouldn' t have been to extreme, but it would not be trivial.
I don't understand the need for such fancy calculators for students. I'm sure there are some professionals that might like to have it, but I used a TI-83 through all high school and college and never found something you couldn't make it do that you needed.
What is the purpose of making these calculators with color screens rather than just making simpler but still advanced graphing calculators cheaper?
I really like this choice for one big reason: it segments the market well. In general you have to major categories of people : people with lots of time but little extra money and people with extra money but not much extra time. This update helps to let those two groups play the game equally. I have friends who are in college and lots of free time. They have logged hundreds of hours in the game, usually at least an hour a day. They have tons of hats and all the items. I only have enough time to play a few hours a week, usually only one night for a couple of hours, but I have a good job and I have some extra cash so if there is a specific item I want I can buy it.
As long as Valve keeps with their pattern of making all the weapons have trade offs and being more about changing play style rather than flat out more powerful, then I think this system will be fantastic at keep TF2 development going. I do think the prices are currently too high, but I also think knowing Valve that they are likely to lower or have regular sales (think Steam sales).
You can't even give Portal a 10. I love Portal. I've played through it many times and everytime enjoy it just as much as I did the first time. That still doesn't mean it's the perfect game and there can never be a better game. As awesome as a game as it is, it still had flaws just like every game ever made.
That's the problem with a 10 point scale. 8 vs. 9 seems like a big difference. You can't give a game a 10. Ever. Then you have no were to go if a better game comes along, but with that you run into the same issue with a 9. If you give a game a 9 then no game can ever be rated higher than it.
If they would use a 100 point scale (10 point scale with decimals is the same thing) then you can be a little more flexible with your reviews.

Using full quality images in this context should easily qualilfy as fair use. One of the most well established fair use examples is using parts of a copyrighted work for reviews of that work.
You are ignoring several things that usually happen. First off, Company X, being first to market, will likely enjoy better sales even if their product cost more because of name recognition. Being first to market can be a huge boost for any product, and can do an effective job holding off cheap clones. Second, if Company X keeps innovating with their product and doesn't just keep selling said widget as the same product, they will always have an advantage because everyone is constantly playing catch up. Without IP completely companies have to keep improving their products constantly to stay ahead of those that just copy their product and sell it.
As far as IP is concerned I don't think it should be gotten rid of completely. Copyright should be either gotten rid of or made very short, say 5 years max. I like patents on actual inventions, but there needs to be two major changes. We need to greatly limit what is patentable, including getting rid of software patents and business model patents all together. Also patents need to be shortened. With the current pace of technology 20 years is too long. For most things I would say 10 probably is about right, but a system that has different lengths for different kinds of technology may be benefitial.
May I ask why you are charging your phone underwater? I think the idea was to be wirelessly chargeable and waterproof, not exactly to do both at the same time.
Actually I think Microsoft wouldn't care if Google implemented a compiler for Android. Microsoft makes a lot of money off the development tools for.NET (largely Visual Studio) and expanding the potential developers to Android would likely only help Microsoft. Look at the huge boom of iPhone developers and imagine a similarly large group developing for Android. That would be a lot of potential customers for VS.
AT&T and Verizon both own major Internet backbones. It doesn't matter if you use cellular or satellite your data is still extremely likely to run over their networks. That's the problem with the current Internet setup. If those 2 companies decide to charge for faster data (or rather charge to not slow your data down) then it doesn't matter what ISP you use, you are going to be affected.
That explains Obama, Bush, Hatch, and Stevens well, but Pelosi is actually representing many of her constituents. It just so happens that she comes from the most ridiculously left district in the country.
I completely agree that the Constitution rarely limits what the states can do, but the 2nd Amendment is one of those instances. The simple man's reading of the Constitution is basically "here is what the feds can do and everything else is left to the states".
The exception to that is things in the Bill of Rights that enumerate things that no one can do. The 2nd amendment restricts what states can do with regard to gun ownership just like the 4th Amendment restricts what they can do in relation to searches.
Gas taxes have nothing to do with "the bad things" about gasoline. Gas taxes are what is used to maintain the roads. A large part of the states Transportation budget comes from the revenue collected through gas taxes.
The 2nd Amendment was meant as protection from the states banning guns. The 10th amendment gives the states the power to do anything not specifically mentioned in the Constitution. Without the 2nd Amendment, the states would be within their power to completely ban all firearms. You are correct that the Feds don't have that ability, but the flipside of that is that if they don't the states do.

No you failed. From Wikipedia:
The production of butanol by biological means was first performed by Louis Pasteur in 1861.
That Butanol would have done him a lot of good in 1855.
I disagree. Visual Studio with ViEmu blows them both away. Truly the best of both worlds.

Valve changed its tune at E3 2010, announcing that their first official PS3 game is Portal 2, due out in February*.
*June or July if you take Valve Time into account.
If you think June or July you obviously don't have enough experience with Valve. Christmas may be a long shot.

So it's not murder if a parent kills their one-month old? According to you they aren't a person so it can't be murder.
I don't believe MonoTouch (Mono for iPhone) is Open Source.

The amount of thought you have put into that is a little unnerving. Any bets on how long it is before he gets a special visit?
