But it started so right! It *will* "effect PC sales", it may even cause peripherals (to come to life). But Microsoft? Whatever "effected" Microsoft has come to pass more than a score of years ago.

The worst teacher I ever had was in Sec 1, every day he'd manage to make that same student cry (yeah, that kid was fucked up). But he never even threaten anyone of bodily harm, he just did that by talking. He would have been perfect for Sec 3-5 teens, not enough empathy for younger ones. But the students, oh my the student, what a bunch of abusive dimwits. Of course, those dimwits are now the parents of the kids we see in school. What would you expect?
Two generations ago, the dimwits were beaten into submission. One generation ago, they were let to their own device. This generation doesn't even have trained dimwits as parents.
My argument would be that the new publishers are the people hitting "submit" on the web form, since they're the ones selecting stories, validating them for truth (I crack me up), editing them for typos, and making the decision to make them public (i.e., "publish" them). Which is what this court decision seems to be in agreement with.
I would say "validate for interest", not for truth. Letters to the editors are a tool for the community to voice their concerns about current events. In a sense they complement the editorials by giving alternate understandings of these events. Someone can be 100% wrong, but be spot-on on the feeling of the community.
How can you have a constructive dialog if you don't understand the other POV? This is what I hate about/. groupthink and plagiarism. Copying someone else's idea without adding anything fresh, a mere regurgitation of prejudice, this doesn't show any insight and should be worth a big zero. <oldgeezer>You kids need to learn to post (and moderate) quality, not whatever you agree with.</oldgeezer>
(The earth is hundreds of millions of years old. It was NOT invented in 7 days by some mystical being a few thousand years ago. That's a fact.)
I wouldn't call it a fact. The Sun came up this morning is more of a fact, because I experienced it. And even then, it could be an false memory.
Look, I could say that the Earth was created 5 seconds ago. And it may be true. Or maybe it was a few thousands or billions of years ago. None of those suppositions are more factual than the other. But if I say that all evidences point to Earth being a few billions years old, then yes that is a fact.
The humble calls it a theory, the arrogant a fact.
Oh no it is not, the difference is that for any scientist to get reputation, it must have published some work which is *peer reviewed* by other scientists. And, as we saw with the chinesse scientist, it is very easy to lose the reputation if they make fraud.
You misspelt Korean here. I assume you are talking about Hwang Woo-suk.
I'm sorry*, but I'm a rabid Bungie fan, so I have to disagree. I spent hours in Marathon and Doom, and Marathon won hands down. That didn't stop me from having fun in others, thought.
I believe the exact opposite, Montreal doesn't get its fair share. The more we'd invest there, the richer the province would be.
Mtl CMA population was 3.2M/7.2M in 2001. It has about 55 of the 125 electoral divisions. Far from "over half the population". I know it is normal for a coward to fear, but proportional won't change a thing for that since the population is well distributed amongst the divisions. I fact, I fear proportional would mean more minority governements. I don't want an Equality party that caters only to anglos, nor their counterparts.
Still, I have to say that Quebec has the best electoral system of all North America. Its stringent rules limit the interferences by companies in what should be a citizen duty. This is the real legacy of Levesque and the PQ.
I get a little worried when I see a "Heavy Mithril Breastplate" jiggling when my character runs.
That's your punishment for rolling an Undead warrior female. Unless you really like them saggy.
Personnally, I prefer my women without silicon padding. Since I can't find any in WoW, I take Dwarf female. At least their padding is in the same place as real life.
At least be consistent, use "copywritten" if you don't want to use "copyrighted". Don't bastardize the English language by inventing a "copywrited" love child of both.
Sheesh! I know Halloween is coming, but don't scare us with your Frankenstein creatures. "Copywright" indeed. And don't walk on my lawn or I'll treat you with some tricks.
The ten-fold increase seems to be predicated upon both P=.9 and E(S)=E(T)=1. However, even if that were true, the increase would actually be nine-fold (.9/.1).
Try with P =.91 and come back when you get the answer. So many lines of equations and you can't solve a simple fraction? You must be an engineer, no?
Let's say an army of squirrels nibbled my right leg off and you dare to use my emo music to present these monsters as gentle woodland creatures. Should I write you a letter of personal thanks?
I could have used a less contrived example, but still... Artistical integrity may mean you refuse to be associated with Ma Bell, but also to Greenpeace, Republicrats, pro-whatever, dental flosser or even WoW.
Now, I think a company has no soul and very little artistic integrity so it shouldn't be allowed to refuse under these grounds, but if an artist want to scuttle his own work it's his business not yours.
While Apple, of course, has no general objection to proper use of the descriptive term "podcast" as part of a trademark for goods and services offered in the podcasting field, it cannot allow marks that go beyond this legitimate use and infringe on Apple's rights in POD and IPOD.
Scheme is an extremely cumbersome language for experienced computer scientists to communicate ideas: Scheme lacks many concepts[...]
What you said there is meaningless. This is my point.
You are reducing a language to its mere definition, without taking into account libraries. I could say "C/Java is an extremely cumbersome language" and it would be just as true (or wrong). I developped application in C++ for 10+ years, and in LISP-like for 5 years. I have concrete knowledge of these issues. Heck, I can fart through my hat too. <grin>
So what is your silver-bullet language that is so easy to use?
Here Scheme has the same failing as the C language. The C++ language does not define threads either. If you skim through the srfi, you'll find that most if not all of these issues are "standardized", but outside the language itself.

Vote! And hate yourself for voting wrong. If it doesn't hurt, you won't have an incentive to do it right next time.
Vote for any trashy 3rd party just to scare the two Republicrats if you don't like pain, but vote.
How the hell can you learn bicycle if you don't fall a few times.
Poutine? Yeah, that's how we kill tourists and select our immigrants. If they survive a meal of Pepsi, Mae West and this, they're good to go.
I've seen that some regions of the USA use the same trick, but with oily pizza as the main dish.
Oh wow!

Wow! WTF have you been smoking? I cannot make heads nor tails of what you're saying.
Are you asking moderators to mod you as flamebait or what?
I went for food at an A&W burger joint. Their cash register weren't working properly, they had to shout the order to the kitchen. That was unusual.
My son only plays in the morning, be it weekday or weekend. Evenings are for serious stuff only. I am not seeing any negative effect on studies.
If he plays 4h on a weekend morning, he's a little too grumpy during the afternoon. But other than that, I see no reason to limit him more.
At 80k/sec, you'd have to wait 20 minutes before you can start streaming. It does take more than 1 hour to download the 300MB file.

I have worked on a database modeler and a complete IDE under Windows. It was a bastardized Scheme with objects, but still...
So I have to say: done, done, maybe, maybe. And yes, if only for the ability to execute any code while stopped in the debugger.
(define-macro (increase! var . rest) ,var (+ ,var ,(if (null? rest) 1 (car rest)))) ,var))
`(begin
(set!
(increase! a)
(increase! a (+ 1 2))
Obviously you could use (++ a), but that is not important.
