I'm sorry, but just because the plastic containers aren't made in the US, that doesn't mean that the dairy processor in my city is outsourcing its work, or that the farmers they get milk from are outside the US.
We live in a global economy, and I would hate to have to revert back to only a local economy.
I love that I can get fresh produce year-round, and that I can wash it down with Scotch whisky.
I stopped because I was sick of having to use the CLI for practically anything, from copying files, to installing applications, and making your hardware functional.
Also, John Carpenter is going to be releasing a digitally edited version of Halloween that replaces the William Shatner/James T Kirk mask with an unidentifiable mask.
That is, to paraphrase, "I'm free to do what I wish (within reason) so long as it doesn't stop you from doing what you wish (within reason)."
Guns aren't illegal in any jurisdiction, just as me punching the air isn't illegal.
However, when the gun is responsible for evacuating 9000 people from their homes, it doesn't seem fair that I spend a night in jail if somebody walks past me while I'm punching the air.
Wikipedia is a great resource for getting a basic overview of topics that are essentially settled.
The problem comes in with new stories, whose only sources tend to be news articles that are written to evoke controversy. This is despite the fact that most articles don't really need any more information than is given in the headline, or because there is essentially no factual information available, so the "controversy" is just pure speculation.
The same thing happens with/. articles.
Just looking at recent ones, "Intel Releases Ivy Bridge Programming Docs Under CC License," really doesn't need any more information, unless you don't know what those words mean. And actually, this is a good time to check Wikipedia, because "Intel," "Ivy Bridge," and "CC License," are all fairly settled topics.
On the other hand, "SOPA Protests 'Poisoned the Well,' Says Congressional Staffer," is taking the personal opinion of someone who is employed by someone who was elected to congress, adding the statement that "the internet is at risk," to drum up controversy, and intentionally trying to split people into "us and them."
To quote Jon Stewart from his appearance on The O'Reilly Factor:
"Let's look at the geniuses we're up against. Richard Reid was the airplane bomber. He tried to take that explosive and put it in his shoes. It took them eight years, and the plan they came up with in eight years is 'uhh... why don't we try sticking it under that guy's genitals?' That's what they did in eight years. They moved from the guy's shoes up to his underwear. And that's who we're up against."
I don't know if I really agree with calling any one segment of the population the "most important demographic" in any industry.
Rather, it might be more accurate to say that technology has expanded beyond the hobbyist level to near ubiquity.
Just look at the number of people today who call their mp3 players iPods or smart phones iPhones, and I'll tell you about my mother who said I played too much Nintendo as kid - despite the fact that I didn't own a Nintendo system until I was in my 20's.
I think this post from above is pretty explanatory in why someone would write an inflammatory article involving the UN and the internet:
While unlikely (hopefully) to pass, this sort if thing is exactly the reason the United States has been so reluctant to give up its nominal control of the Internet's architecture, [...]
I've been to a few websites that require you to enter your age, with month, day, and year as drop down menus. Not porn sites, as most would assume, but websites with R-rated videos.
Depending on how strongly I scroll, my birthday ranges from January 1st 1930 to January 1st 1990.
I can only hope that the websites save the birth date data with the IP address data, and they are surprised that there are at least 50 people at my household who were born on January 1st.

Except that this works on wood.
What need has a jackhammer to be visually appealing?
Believing that the Constitution is the entirety of Federal law is like assuming that there were only ten commandments in the Bible.
Michael Palin would have made an excellent VP.
What, you mean that Inman isn't a student at George Washington University, and his mailing address isn't a 7-11?
I've heard of diamonds before, but I was never aware that they were found on Earth!
I used Ubuntu for years.
I stopped because I was sick of having to use the CLI for practically anything, from copying files, to installing applications, and making your hardware functional.
To start, I don't live in Delaware.
However, I live near Syracuse, NY, and my phone's IP registers in Boston, MA.
Also, John Carpenter is going to be releasing a digitally edited version of Halloween that replaces the William Shatner/James T Kirk mask with an unidentifiable mask.
Netflix is fine for watching BBC content, so long as you're find with being a couple of years behind the times.
While it's been a while since I've used Netflix, the last I've checked, Top Gear was only available up to Series 13.
However, I am then left with no obvious way to watch Series 14-18.
The real question here is; just how far can we stretch the definition of the word "hacker."
Basically, he's saying that it's exactly the same thing to use a KeyGen as to write one.
Isn't this the basis of the First Amendment?

The REAL "pirates" here are thecoolstacks and samzenpus.
They've taken a story already posted by Hugh Pickens and Soulskill, and they've reposted it.

Their business is showing advertisements to as many people as possible.
Entertainment is only the method they use.
And then instead of answering the charges, he fled the country.)
I'm sorry, but he did answer the charges.
When all charges were dropped, he asked if he was free to leave the country. Sweden said yes.
From 1921 through 1973, it was officially called Welfare Island.
I'm a little skeptical about that.
By the same reasoning, 24 FPS is a terrible choice.
If a movie shot at 24 FPS does perfectly fine on a 30 Hz display, then how can a movie shot at 48 FPS not do fine on a 60 Hz display?
It really doesn't matter, so long as you have a good marketing department.

Also worth noting is that St. Lawrence County's economy is almost entirely based on education.
Between St. Lawrence University, Clarkson University, SUNY Potsdam, and SUNY Canton, there is a large influx of young adults.
To follow the advice of Chef on South Park, there is a time for experimentation. This is called college.
