I don't know what's with you Swingline fanatics. I've been sitting here at my freelance gig in front of a Swingline 37860 Easy Touch trying to staple 17 pages together for the past twenty minutes....
There is no debate here- the copyright holder can decide how and when his/her works are distributed
Not true. The copyright holder can only make those decisions within the bounds of copyright law. The law has long recognized exceptions to the copyright holder's right to control distribution, e.g. first sale, fair use, parody. (Whether the above situation fits into one of these categories is a different question).
Bush appointments have been delayed more than his predecessors because he's been more egregious than his predecessors about trying to pack the courts with right-wing ideologues. Estrada not being confirmed had zero to do with his ethnicity and everything to do with the fact that he's simply not qualified. Even his employer at the Justice department said he "lacks the judgement" to be an appeals court judge and that he is "too much of an ideologue." To make matters worse, he refused to answer basic questions about his judicial philosophy during Senate hearings.
All three are for paid services that operate under the name Kazaa and they claim to offer clients for all platforms that will let you download all the stuff mentioned. Are these companies offering a separate network, which their pages lead you to believe? Or a separate client (which they claim works on OS X as well as Windows and Linux)? Or just plain old kazaa lite? Their charges are monthly, which leads me to believe they're offering a separate network but that doesn't seem to make sense here the way it does for news servers.
I know what you mean. I don't understand what it is with these 9 fan fanatics. I'm sitting here in front of my 9-fan enclosure and it's been trying to move 7 cubic feet of air for the past twenty minutes. Twenty minutes!! At home, my single-unit Panaflo L1a fan (24cfm, 1900rpm) can do this in five minutes....
Wine Is Not an Emulator.... you won't see a port of wine to os x because it won't run on apple hardware. Of course, you could install wine on linux if you install linux on a pc emulator like VPC... but that kinda defeats the purpose, eh?
Everyone is crying conspiracy theory but I don't think we need to look at it from that angle to be disturbed by this. Is it too much to ask that a company making vote-counting machines aim for some kind of neutrality in elections? Shouldn't they be bending over backwards to make sure people think their system is foolproof, including having a system for auditing results and for paper backups? Maybe they want to elect republicans and maybe they don't (although the article cited in this discussion has a pretty direct quote indicating they do). Either way, we shouldn't be handing them the power to do that without oversight.
Reminds me of when she was turning 18 and told an interviewer she thought it was important that people vote. The interviewer asked who she was going to vote for and she answered something to the effect of "I'll just vote for whoever my parents do."
I haven't used freenet in a couple years and at the time there wasn't much content but it certainly wasn't just kiddie porn. Can anybody cite legitimate uses of freenet they are engaged in?
If this data were left exposed, collected and put online about most any other group, be it alcoholics or political dissidents, you people would all be appalled, talking about 1984, dissing Microsoft for bad security even though they have nothing to do with it...
They did not copy everything from OS X. They copied none of the Mac's elegance or ease of use, and the instability, OS-level insecurity, and sheer counterintuitiveness of the interface are innovations Microsoft came up with all on their own.
RSS doesn't offer anything except more effort for the user.
True at the moment, but as soon as more people get used to using rss readers, or they are built into desktops/menubars/launch docks/etc., this method might become the preferred means for most people to subscribe to lists and newsletters.
Everyone knows that prison sucks and that there are good chances that you will encounter sexual assault and humiliation. This in fact, is a major deterrent to crime and going to prison.
Can you please name one U.S. judge who has ever sentenced a criminal to the punishment of rape?

ahh, forget it.
Actually, using RIAA accounting, each song is worth about $150,000.

I think the dude was joking. Who the hell cares if you use https to read an article in Technology Review? It's not, like, secret information!

If you want something in that price range, I know where you can license a copy of linux to run on that laptop.
Only the loud punk rock protesting the policies of that nincompoop!

These aren't the elephants we're looking for.
Gotta have your own law dontcha? what a Nazi.

if it can't be measured in cubits, I don't want it measured at all.
yeah, because we all know that Va Tech needs a supercomputer for students to do karaoke.
Just call it the Big Apple.
Microsoft Sucks! We're all going to the gulags!!
Feel better now?

Only to show that there are games for the Mac.
