Now everybody write after me: Smörgåsbord (there's no such thing as a "smorgasbord").
Actually, there is such a thing (or rather such a word) as "smorgasbord".
smorgasbord (smôr'gs-bôrd', -brd')
n.
A buffet meal featuring a varied number of dishes.
A varied collection: "a smorgasbord of fashionable paranormal beliefs" (Martin Gardner).
True, it is a word that is borrowed from Swedish and changed to fit into English, much like "tejp" is a Swedish word borrowed from English (tape) and changed to fit into Swedish.
You and me both is the correct way of saying this. Just take the comparative word out, and the "you", and you are left with: Me too.
If you take the comparative word out, and the "you", wouldn't you be left with: me both?
How much sense does that make?

"rap music was something that scared corporations until it was big enough to be profitable"
...as opposed to heavy metal, doom metal, death metal and all metal varieties that endeared big corporations until they were big enough to be profitable.
Oh, we could easily use it. 100Mbit is easily enough for studio quality video for one user. But what about a 100 users in a company calling each other?
So keep a boilerplate photo around where you burn a floppy as a 'proof' that you don't have the key. This would be as much proof as the solicitors photo story in the link. And then provide the innocent clear text you prepared, 'proving' that the message was not related to a crime.
"And, as a result, the Bill proposes that the police or the security services should have the power to force someone to hand over decryption keys or the plain text of specified materials, such as e-mails, and jail those who refuse. "
Not that you have to hand over decryption keys or the plain text. But if you claim to have lost the key, how can they possibly prove that the plain text you hand over is not the encrypted text?
Just keep a standard boilerplate business text around and whenever they want a "key or the plain text", just give them the standard boilerplate text and say that you have lost the key.
And exactly what privacy issues are there in this case? They're complaining that AOL installs themselves as the default (only) ISP after the user has answered 'yes' to question whether they want to have AOL as their default ISP!
I don't like AOL but this is ridiculous, they did nothing wrong.
Here's an article on the disappearance of the Polar Lander. Now it's not impossible that the journalists got it totally wrong but I've seen no correction printed.
Sure, if they could learn from this mistake it wouldn't be too bad, but they can't. In order to cut costs they decided to shut down communication during landing so now they have no clue as to what went wrong!

You are mistaken, that converts to ~$63. Still a bit expensive though.

You know, I don't think it was entirely serious.
Are you kidding? How about Amazon suing Barnes&Noble for using "their" one-click technology?
I know that. It was sarcasm!
But the average investor does! AMD is up over $5, around %13.
At least some interesting comments.

How about Word 6.0 following Word 2.0 in order to beat WordPerfect which was ahead in verion numbers?
More bandwidth is always good.

Oh, didn't see that in the article, if that's the case I have to admit it's pretty bad practice.

Oh, changing the subject are we? Couldn't take on the burden of proving your point? Didn't know what you were talking about?
At least I backed up my post in my next reply with some information from an article. It might be wrong but it is more than AC RAVING!

Last section, paragraph 3 in case there are too many big words in this article that you get bored before you can finish.
As for the cut cost, I assumed that it would require much better equipment to transmit during descent than otherwise.

"To save on cost and weight, the spacecraft designers left out a transmitter that could have sent a signal during descent."

No, the best translation would be along the lines of "Art of technology"
