I've been doing the exact same thing you are over the past couple weeks, and it took me about 15 pages of documentation on lock-modify-unlock and copy-modify-merge (with branching) to get to where I believe I can convince everyone that Subversion is better (plus a good 50 pages or so on how to use Subversion). Start with the beginning of the Subversion book--it explains things well.
Also, assuming you use Windows desktops, use TortoiseSVN.
I have never used StatCVS, but I believe if you open up a log dialog in TortoiseSVN you can select "Statistics". I've only used it once, but it gave results similar the the sample report the StatCVS site refers to. It's not formatted as nicely, but it's worth looking at.
I was actually trying to be funny--looking at it like you just did, you'd have to be crazy to think Apple would release OS X for x86. Part of me wants them to, but I know they won't.
What about the people who already bought the game when it was presented to them under false pretenses, and now find out their dialup connection won't work? A public admission might feel nice to them, but it'll hardly give them their $50 back.
Or, if you do a line of Perl that looks like line noise, explain what it does with comments. Not that I specifically look for the "line noise" way of writing code, but sometimes it just comes more naturally to me (and yes, I know, I've been using Perl way too much).

If Rossi just keeps his mouth shut and behaves as a gracious winner, he will be quite a force to reckon with in 2006 against Sen. Cantwell or 2008 against Gregoire's re-election.
The grand poster mentions that Rossi could be a gracious loser and still have a good chance at a Senate seat in 2006 or for Governor in 2008. The GP makes no mention whatsoever of the House of Representatives.

I suppose that's another way of looking at it that I hadn't considered. But then, this coming season will only be my secondtwo years ago I had no idea something like FIRST existed. So I'm not exactly an experienced mentor.
However, the team I was directly associated with (1014, "Bad Robot" if you were at a competition with us) won the Pittsburgh Engineering Inspiration award because the judges were impressed with the amount of involvement of our students in the design and construction of the robot (rather than just having them simply regurgitate things we told them about the robot). For example, myself and another student at Ohio State explained a PID control system to the student members of our controls team, and they modelled our drivetrain and implemented the controller for it (under our supervision).
I agree students still benefit from being on teams such as Delphi's, but FIRST prefers the level of involvement that my team maintained.
There are two Canadian competitions, and they are regionals. And Canadian teams aren't restricted to those regionals--there were two at my team's regional in Pittsburgh last year. If you won one of these competitions, you qualified for the Championship Competition (which everyone calls "nationals", even though it's not just for US teams).
Yes. FIRST is definitely a viable option. However, you need a relatively large school (you're still not going to get most people interested), and unless it's also a relatively rich school you're going to need to provide about $20k to compete in one regional competition and about $15k more if you qualify for and decide to go to nationals.
Problem is, most FIRST teams are used solely as marketing devices for companies who want to win, and thus the engineers for those companies tend to do all the work and let the high-schoolers "learn by watching". Try to stay away from this.
An even better sytem is one that prevents Joe Smith from voting in 2 states and three precints of each twice. Though that is much harder to do and maintain the anonymity required to prevent bought or coerced votes.
Franklin County, OH already has this--they put too few voting machines in heavily populated areas and make people wait upwards of four hours to vote--and you can't easily spend four hours in line more than one or two times per day.
Therefore from 24 October 2000 - only Apple can use the trademark in business. Date of publication is not relevant.
Hmm. Since Microsoft has a trademark on "Windows", must window contracters advertise themselves as "installers of planes of glass"? Or does it not matter since they're different fields? Of course, I'm not a lawyer, so I don't know for sure.
Failing to fund NASA is failing to fund the future of our civilization and our economy. We exercise such short-term thinking at our own peril.
Personally, I don't think NASA is the way to go with this--I think it should be done privately. NASA is subject to the whim of whoever the current president is, and even if the president can keep from changing his mind over the course of four (or eight) years, the new guy will certainly have a new opinion on how NASA should work, and the 10-20 year plans of the former president disappear.
Not to mention that you must keep track of who you need to tell the truth to (e.g., if they were there at the time of the event you're referring to) and who you've already lied to.

If it's anything like setting a "Reply-To:" (which you also can't turn off), just tell it to forward email to itself.

That's an awfully long response for a comment I intended as a joke.

If they're so focused on software they should release OS X for the x86.

Mike Rowe publicly said he registered "MikeRoweSoft.com" because it sounded like microsoft.com. Microsoft was justified in pursuing him.
Assuming the owner of itunes.co.uk did not know of the Apple product of the same name at the time he registered the domain, he should be fine.
So I guess I just disagree with everyone then.
Your town has a city engineer. Pay him a visit.
