After my DUI I bought a breathalyzer. I think you'd be surprised how low 0.08 is. I use the device to help educate drunken peers.
Walking or using public transportation is really the key here. I think that if 0.05 is forced upon the populace it had darn well better come with funding for bus systems that don't stop until 3AM.
Robert's Rules of Order are under copyright. Those rules are used by many groups within our government. Hopefully the version from the 50s will be out of copyright eventually.
This is a *much* bigger deal than Micky Mouse IMO.
I'll rephrase a bit. The bubble that Apple forces you into if you are a developer, is to write your code in XCode.
I'd be surprised if any approved apps in the AppStore were not written using XCode. XCode only runs on OSX. OSX only runs on Apple hardware.
The two bubbles you mention are valid, but there are more than two bubbles.
To get an app into the AppStore you must be developing using Apple hardware running OSX.
Regarding the 'Everything else is very open.' statement. If that were true, it would be easy to sync my mp3s over to my iPhone under linux. It would be easy to sync my oggs over the iTunes in the iPhone using linux. It would be easy to change cellular providers. It would be easy to play my movies purchased through iTunes under linux.. It would be easy to buy media through the iTunes store under linux.. It would be easy to save a document as an.odt in at least one Apple product.. iTunes would support OGG media without modification..
In summary: Apple at every turn chooses the path that locks their customers into using their products.
Apple does make slick products, but they are not 'open'. I'd love to hear ways in which they are open though.

Not quite accurate:
* To write code for the iPhone, you essentially need XCode running on Apple hardware. * Code written for the iPhone (ObjC) is a PITA to port to any other OS other than OSX. * I still can't sync music to my iPhone from Linux on the new firmware. * I still can't play ogg files on the iPhone
So this 'Everything else' must not include much that I care about.
Why buy from GameStop? Because their prices are comparable to internet prices and they hire your local gamer buddies. Their return policy isn't that 'horrible'. Its smart. Giving gamers access to free rentals (essentially) as an incentive for them to gain product knowledge just makes sense. If you pwn the disk up, then you don't get to take them home anymore.
Sure, with every system there can be problems. If you notice something that really bothers you, mention it to the employee or the manager and I'm sure they'll just give you a 'virgin' copy. Preorders are never used this way.. anyway.. I'm rambling.
GameStop may have some odd policies, but Amazon.. seriously? You are on slashdot right? I dare you to start a pro-amazon thread and endure the flamewar:)
Even though I don't condone their policies (and will never buy their wares), I think its honorable that they are doing at least some good by bringing some mainstream PR for FOSS.
Too bad the site is down. Last time this was linked on/. the site had the answers to your questions. IIRC there would still be a monthly fee to use the official servers. Anyone would be allowed to copy the code and run their own server freely.
I just picked up one of these. IMHO, its not as good as my old wireless combo (Logitech Cordless MX Duo).
The keyboard is great aside from very occasional keystroke repeating which might be due to my setup.
The mouse on the other hand is only great most of the time. On occasion its input will lag considerably or become mostly unresponsive for about 15 seconds.
To its credit, I've never used a bluetooth device before.
I wish that I'd not spilled beer on my Cordless MX Duo.. which worked much better for my needs.. *sigh*
By the way, if anyone has found a way to overcome the mouse lag, please let me know =]

In your post, you mentioned 'Discordianism'. I would like to preface my opinion by stating that I know very little about Discordianism.
From what little I have gathered about the topic, it seems that followers of discord would most likely beleive that entropy is to be held with high respect. I find it difficult to beleive that anyone who would encorporate entropy into their everyday life would have much success using any types of electronic systems. (Or any systems for that matter.)

This is awesome! Thank you so much for helping me ditch FAT32 :)
If anyone knows how to convince xp to write to a device like that (via a 3rd party driver or whatever) I'm all ears!

Depends on what you have installed. It can be flash, VLC, java, mplayer .. whatever.

Many of the animals had long-term survival, and all of them had their lives extended after asingle treatment at a low dose.
Nanodot is an okay source for people who dig this kind of stuff.
