Nowhere does the constitution say, "your right to do whatever you please may not be infringed upon." We are indeed guaranteed certain specific rights; outside of thouse, however, municipalities, states, and the federal government can and do place restrictions on the actions of individuals in order to further the greater good of the community as determined by the voting public.
Example: in the town where I used to live in NJ, a yuppie couple moved into my neighborhood at the top of a hill, covered with picturesque trees. They razed their lot and put up an unsightly fence around the entire property. The mayor of the township happened to live across the street; the town subsequently passed a law requiring a landowner to obtain a permit before cutting down trees older than X years.
As a libertarian, I think this is a very poor law, but it is entirely legal. And, as the previous poster points out, if I don't like it, I'm free to move. (I did, but not just for that reason.:)
Let's leave the editorial bias aside for just a bit, shall we? It's obvious on the face of it that Napster / Gnutella / other pirating mechanisms are going to hurt album sales. Sure, there are people who use Napster to "try it out" and then buy the album (online or not), but for every one of those, anyone who's honest can name ten who just use Napster for, "Wow, I'll never have to pay for music again!"
I'm not arguing that the MP3 format should be suppressed or anything stupid like that; I have a Rio (as well as an MD recorder) and I really like having my music collection on my HD so I don't have to take CDs back and forth to work with me. But I think it's really disingenuous to pretend that napster doesn't encourage piracy because that's really what it's for. Notwithstanding napster.com's protests to the contrary, that's what it does.
Should it be legal anyway? Possibly. But if it should, it should be because Napster shouldn't be held responsible for what its users choose to share, not because we'd like to believe it doesn't really discourage music sales. Crying "FUD" doesn't win any points with intelligent people.

Well, as long as we're talking brute force (and it's a pretty small text, too) you might as well simply check if some percentage of the translation is in/usr/dict/words.
Good article . There's a quote about Kinesis near the end: [T]he Kinesis Contoured Ergonomic Keyboard, separates the keys in two concave banks and places the heavily used Backspace, Delete, Enter and Space keys near the thumb. Dr. Robert Markison, a San Francisco hand surgeon who specializes in R.S.I., has pointed out that such kinds of configurations place unnatural stress on the thumb, making it vulnerable to arthritis and other injuries.
I'm disapointed but not surprised to see that nobody's mentioned Sturgeon yet. In my opinion, the best SF short fiction author of the 20th century -- quite possibly the best American short fiction author, period. Certainly the best "underappreciated" one.:) And -- you're in luck -- his material is not only suitable for 13 year olds, but it's being re-issued as The Complete Works of Theodore Sturgeon. Volumes I to VI so far out of X.:) Read them. No kidding.

Linux supports SMP on (at least) Sparc and Alpha. Which is why my SS10 is running linux.
I'm guessing that they probably have beefier machines in production than they do for "let's test these databases."
Power saving on things like the CPU fan that are no longer needed help, too -- besides making for a sexier machine.
Outside the US, most countries use commas as decimal points. So you're both right.

the Emacs symbolic math code is several MB of elisp. Good luck. :-b
