But will the Zeitgeist total queries that ask the same question in many different ways because users don't know the keywords needed to define and limit their search?
Exactly. This list shows nothing of the wide variety of reality TV shows people are searching for information on.
Basing your view of reality on America's Most Wanted is a Very Bad Thing (tm).
I'm going to go out on a limb and assume you live somewhere that doesn't have a lot of international diversity. In those places, relationships between Americans and foreigners are probably pretty rare. However, there are a lot of places with very heavy diversity (cities such as New York, D.C., and San Francisco, and many universities), and in that situation it only makes sense that people from different countries will eventually start doin' it. It's actually quite common . . . and no "mail order" is involved.
In many respects I think the bottom line here is accountability. The problem therein is that you can't please all the people all of the time. You also not create a fraud free system...
However, you can create a better system with more accountability. Which we failed to do.
Seriously, dude, just because you had a single good experience in one of the hottest IT markets in the country does not mean the less fortunate are all doing something wrong. Sheesh.
Oh, I absolutely agree about the quality of their work . . . pretty much everything the Beatles touched is awesome. I'm just saying that the current state of their songs' rights is of their own making.
McCartney personally had NOTHING to do with Jackson gaining the rights to these songs. He didn't "sign a contract" allowing Jackson to do this.

Wait, what was the first line of that Snopes article again?
The Beatles assigned their publishing rights to Northern Songs, a company created by Beatles manager Brian Epstein and music publisher Dick James in 1963.
Right, so they did "sell out" . . . just not directly to Michael Jackson.
Imagine Evil Dead with slightly better acting and special effects. It's essentially a remake, oddly enough with the same star. The whole situation's just weird.
It should allow us to refine the precision of "Libraries of Congress" as a unit of digital storage measure, though (and by corollary, "LOC's per fortnight" as a bandwidth measure).
Yeah, it works pretty well. It's really only for heavy-volume traffic. Say the speed limit is 55 . . . even if the slowest person in the HOV lane is going 55 (which it's usually faster), this is still far better than the normal, more crowded lanes which are going 15:)
Also, people typically only use those lanes for their normal commute, and typically your very slow drivers are not commuters.
Jersey walls are those funny walls on the sides of highways that are a lot wider on the bottom than on the top (so the tires hit it first). They would fully separate the special lanes from the rest of the freeway, with specific entry and exit points. These wouldn't prevent people entering the lanes at the entrance, they would just prevent people from cutting in and out of them to pass. The same concept is used with HOV lanes (carpool-only) in a lot of cities, and whenever the police do decide to crack down now and then, the violators are trapped in the lane and easy to identify.
Long-distance driving with low traffic is alright. City driving with heavy congestion SUCKS BAD. I think city commuters would be the early adopters of this technology.

According to Slashdot, everything "sucks now". Even Slashdot.

That's pretty good, but it still doesn't guarantee that the machine's firmware isn't tampering with the code after it's in the machine.
However, you can create a better system with more accountability. Which we failed to do.
A verifiable paper trail, however, is trustable (in the sense that it can later be audited WITHOUT the machine's involvement).
Heh, that makes it sound a little frightening.
You forgot "Let them eat cake".
The oil industry pretty much operates counter to the rest of the economy. They consider the 70s to be "the good 'ol days".

It's OK. I'm just finishing up my implementation of the "Ain't" operator, which will be released under the GPL.

Yes, I'm bored at work Waiting for this last half-hour To be done with. Shit.
Your spelling needs a check, mate.
And the disembodied hand will shoot first?
This is officially the dorkiest thing ever made. I expect this to stay on top until someone comes up with a way to make a ham radio boot FreeBSD.

Let me know if you need a more vivid explanation.
