I'm not certain whether you have either not been in uni for some time or whether your school was different, but out of the past 50 some-odd classes I've taken over the past four years I've used a prof's books twice. The first time was because it was the department's choise and the second time because it was quite honestly the best book on the subject.
I mean, the revision thing sucks, yes, but it's not always the profs doing it. A lot of profs are just stuck with the department choice, and can't do much about it.
With all the geeks making one man shows, it seems that the next logical step will be the one-man premeir of "self-love:. Heck, there're probably enough "actors" for a simultaneous nation-wide release
As an Opera user, I must say that there is room for a non-free browser. For one, FF doesn't quite have all of the features of Opera (it's getting there, though), and the tabs work slightly differently in Opera that, for me at least, make browsing far faster.
Once FF has extensions for it all, then, yeah, Opera is probably toast. However, until then, as another user pointed out, Opera will be like bottled water to the lakes, rivers, etc of IE, FF, et al.
...If I'm elected president, I'm going to have a blog.
I have to give Dean a lot of credit for that one. Where has the accountability gone in presidencies? It would seem to me that such a thing--while, yes, it would be scrutinized for security things--would really put people much at ease and help to eliminate the "whoops, we're at war" feelings.
Having run a number of marathons in my life I can't really see any need for this. For one thing, shoes are generally replaced every 500 miles or so regardless of whether they look that worn, but also when one runs this often he or she understands exactly what the foot needs.
I, for example, have recently switched shoes after five years with one type, and moving felt like I was joining a cult at first.
Yeah, I wish it weren't the case that people are automatically considered at fault when they make that transition into being a "consumer", but there's just this nagging cynicism that they've already put the noose around the neck of freedom and now it's a matter of whether the floor drops or it gets pushed off a ledge.
I can understand and admire your vigilance on this, but at the same time I wonder just how necessary it is to by no means meet half way.
Yes, it is an issue of freedom in the sense of being allowed to use that for which you paid in the manner you wish, but at the same time, would a failed project send the proper message? Yes, the drop in sales would say that there is something amiss, but do you honestly believe that those in charge would link that to DRM as opposed to people still practicing in copyright infringement?
I know were I in their position, it would be far easier to say "oh, look, we did try, but they just don't want it legally" than to say "well, it must because we're greedy and controlling".
I think this attitude will doom freedom rather that uphold it simply because of how easy it is to misconstrue the data as we are certain they will. In fact, without support of those that come close, we are giving evidence to use against freedom.
It's not only for jogging, or on the bus, or between classes for which I'd like a Vorbis player. You are right in that the quality difference between a 128 or 192 mp3 vs vorbis with the headphones I'd wear around campus is negligible.
However, about 45% of the music on my computer is in vorbis, and it would save me alot of hassle to simple dump them on a player rather than convert or re-rip (especially since for some I can't find the CDs after moving).
I misread the title as "Using GPS to Hail Crabs", and I thought, no, thank you, but if I want crabs I can just find a dirty whore like the rest of the Luddites.
They're quite aware of this and last I heard we were going to switch from SSN to what we use for our student services login which (in my case) is just lastname + first + arbitrary digit(s). It should be a tad better.
Washington DC (Reuters) - Today, a inside leak occured of new legislation currently under vote in the US Congress. This bill seeks to strengthen and further refine the previous USA PATRIOT act.
The Domestic Security Enhancement Act of Two-thousand-and-three, commonly called D-SEAT, seeks to further build domestic strength for intelligence and surveilance, but many civil rights protestors claim it will lessen political freedoms and civil rights in the US.
D-SEAT is "merely a ruse to bring about more police controled state" according to activist Joel Mainem; however, the bill's author clarified that "D-SEAT is nothing new. All politicians are well familiar with D-SEAT. If there were any troubles, D-SEAT wouldn't be used."

Yes they do, but at least now we can go complain in style with the new city hall.

We could call it the

you know the
STOP USING ACRONYMS act
So, one a scale of charcoal to black, what color is your cold, cold heart?
(for the oblivious, : ), fits here)
Heh, I really want to see an article about this in the texan on tuesday. Granted most won't care, but even 1% of 54000 is alot of miffing.

Wait, so DVDA has nothing to do with discs?
Here's the Coral cache page.
It's a trick?
Get an axe.

Hmm, that doesn't look much like 742 Evergreen in Springfield MO. I call shenanigans on this cartoon!

We runners don't like change, you see.
well, it gets 1.33 gallons / minute at full burn. So I think I'd have a better chance of getting away, what with my 50 mpg diesel vw.
Darn it. Then I guess I built this for nothing.
That's a +5, Scary, if I'd ever heard one.
I think Marty McFly does. I mean, that was one heck of a power chord.

I just don't know how prudent that is.

Well, if you're Derek Zoolander I'm sure you'd be quite extatic about making a left turn. Three rights probably doesn't work well in a race.
