If you fresh install, keep an eye on these folders:
library/prefrences/home/library/prefereces/home/library/application support
These folders contain things like registration info and preferences for all your applications.
Also, your iTunes library file by default is in/home/music/iTunes. If you move it to the same spot, it will load your library on the new system and you'll still have things like playlists, ratings, etc.
The more rotation of new employees you have, the more training and orientation they need, the less productivity you get out of your staff. On the flip side, this can be self-correcting because employers will look unfavorably at someone who has changed jobs 6 times in the last 8 years, encouraging people to pick their jobs carefully and stay a while.
A very common way that people think is "if I can't prove it's something mundane, than the most fantastical explanation is probably right". It's simply more fun to live this way than to live in the real world. This not only explains religions but to some extent politics.
If this happens to you, the best thing to do is say that you don't know and go find out together with your child. This not only gives you something fun to do, it can help teach them to explore the internet, a bookstore, or a library. Most importantly it teaches them how to learn things.
The cool thing is, most of these basic questions have many levels beneath them. For example, most of you know why grass is green, but why is chlorophyll green? Why is green a really odd color for plants to use? Would "orange-phyll" (if it existed) work too? This leads to an exploration of chemistry and physics as well as biology.
Another good thing to teach is how people know this stuff - the idea that the natural world is knowable through discovery and testing, and that we decide as a community what "the truth" is, based on what we observe and what makes sense. Kids can certainly learn the idea of what science is at a pretty young age, even if complex logic isn't possible until, I don't know, early teens? Hmm, something to look up!
To be fair, most states are working to change absolute age laws into something more flexible. For example, 18+15 would be okay but 28+15 would be a crime. It varies a LOT by state.
Not that 28+15 being a crime isn't a bit strange. I mean let's be real here. A 15 year old having sex with a 28 year old isn't somehow automatically harmed where another 15 year old would have been just fine.
Simply: a sex offender is someone who 1) has sex in a way that the majority thinks ought not to be taking place, or 2) makes it possible for a child to see another human naked.
And as crazy as the U.S. is, it's not even in the same league as say, anywhere Muslims are in charge.
Judges are not held accountable for their own bullshit. We just have to collectively hope they are fair, similar to dictators or kings. If they ruin lives, oh well.
Hey at one time AOL was very geek. Back when they were $5 an hour (pre-web, no monthly fee model yet), there was a "cheat" you could use to use their download area free of charge, I used to find hundreds of shareware titles this way.
When I asked him once how he got to be an officer so fast he joked (I *hope* he was joking, anyway) that any Marine who could read and write was immediately promoted to officer.
There is some truth to this. If you have a college education you are given a higher rank when you complete basic training.
I have a similar problem - a Mac Mini (the original PPC version) hooked to my HD television. It looks beautiful at something like 2200x1400 resolution, but video stutters, even normal AVIs. I lowered the resolution to ~1900x1200 and it plays video, even HD video just fine. Maybe you can buy the aspire with 1300x768 screen and simply lower the resolution when you want to view HD video.
I've heard of "intent", and if I intentionally rape someone I might get 5 years, down to maybe 2 on good behavior.
The crime in question has the penalty it does because the people who it hurts have enough money to buy laws.
God, the sense of entitlement in the US is making me sick...
To be fair, you have to take two things into consideration...
1. Kids in the US are intentionally kept ignorant for as long as possible by their parents, community, and a "thinking is something other people do" culture.
2. We are "sold" the idea that a college education = the life we want. The details aren't important, they sort of just magically fall into place. Even suggesting your kid not get a degree today is like suggesting your daughter put out on the first date in 1840 England. No person can exist happily without a degree, even if it's in squirrel massage theory.
You're right that it does make you sick, but "entitlement" is more the symptom than the disease. The underlying cause is a culture that has replaced being informed, logical, and objective with entertainment and fantasy.
What's interesting is I recently picked up a Dell mini (10v) with Ubuntu pre-installed, and the price was the exact same as the one that came with XP pre-installed.
In retrospect I probably should have just gotten the XP version, in case I ever need XP, since I put a fresh copy of Ubuntu on it anyway, that doesn't have all the Dell bundled nonsense.
It's not that throughput is cut down, it's that if you leave that much space, someone will move into it. In rush hour, it's IMPOSSIBLE to maintain more than a 2-3 car distance at any speed, because someone will immediately occupy a 5-8 car distance the moment it is created.

I'd be more interested in whether or not you can use it to connect to your cell provider's data plan without any additional hardware.
Pirate Bay has some occasional downtime but it's never more than a a few hours.
Best bet - just assume every release date will take 3x as long. As in, if they say 1 week, it will be 3. If they say 8 months, it will be 2 years.
Blizzard and road maintenance crews have never EVER done anything when they say they will.

You're right that, if you broke the law, you don't have a right to anonymity.
The other side of the issue is whether or not writing down that someone a "ho" is a crime.
I'm not sure I like the idea of violating privacy on the mere accusation of a crime.

Your Harry Potter example doesn't seem like it would happen that way. The copyright would start "ticking" so to speak as soon as the book is for sale.

Sorry to be the one who points this out, but it is a certainty that they're going to get more corrupt, unless you murder them.
There are some Firefox add-ons that supposedly delete these "super" cookies. Here is one example.
I have no idea how well they actually work.

Your conspiracy theory doesn't make much sense. It's in Apple's best interest to make sure Windows runs smoothly. Or why include Boot Camp at all?

The demons in Doom don't represent the full list of demons in the various religions in the world.
It's also potentially unethical. What if you're a doctor or emergency worker on call?
