I think the poster's point was that i386 is a commodity now really. Jewerly isn't a commodity per se, at least, people want to think it isn't a commodity when they buy it. Why do you think Wal-Mart and the like only have one or two of any particular watch or ring in the display case, and don't put their whole stock out like they do with all the rest of their products? When people buy jewerly, they like to think it is unique, or at least not something that is a commodity.
Also, I firmly believe that all human actions are inherently selfish. Sometimes it is indirectly selfish, but I don't believe in true altrusim. When you give money to charity, is it really for the charity, or is it for the warm fuzzy feeling? When I give to the EFF, how much of it is because I firmly believe in their cause, and how much of it is a selfish wish to either see the personal benefits of their work, or alternatively to be able to say "At least I did something to try to stop them", if the work is to no avail.
Usually if it's there for more than a day or three, and you don't want it there, it's considered abandoned and you can call the cops to come tow it away.
Betel Nuts are chewed for stimulant properties. The DEA here in the US is trying to stop some sellers, but there isn't much they can about a natural product that has active ingrediants that aren't illegal (yet).
How would a hardware card reader at home help anything? Havn't you even followed the whole satellite-stealing saga? If you give the end user control of the hardware, you can't trust it, period.
I order from all three on a regular basis. Check out alltronics surplus assortments, you will NOT be dissapointed if you order one. When they say 10 pounds of capacitors, they mean it, including some 6 inch tall 18000 mfd 48 volt ones, the last time I ordered that assortment.

I've played with smarterchild a lot in the past few months, and I can say, it does everything in floating point, and those errors really start to add up when you are working with large integers. Certain multiplications are WAY off, especially large ones.
They aren't like most stuck up chem suppliers, they sell direct to the public.
I got some glass microspheres, and man, those things are cool. Imagine a fine powder, finer than powdered sugar, but it's not a powder, it's millions of tiny glass spheres containing air. If you pour them on water, they float on top and form a skin. You can stick your finger in the water, and the skin follows your finger down, so when you pull your finger out, it's not wet. It's really cool stuff to play with.
They also carry PU Foam two-part system in bulk, epoxy resins in bulk, fiberglass fabric, shredded fiberglass for reinforcing epoxy, and plenty of other cool stuff. Their prices are reasonable, and shipping isn't too slow.
I know this is a glowing review, but I don't have any financial interest in TAP plastics, they are just a cool supplier for home experimenters.
Yeah, like I said in another post, there are major parts of the story that don't check out. For example, he was supposed to have a dashboard mounted geiger counter, and a glow in the dark clock face in an antique store that had been painted with radium supposedly set it off as he was driving by. Three words "Yeah fucking right".
Just two parts. The act has a severability clause that leaves the remainder in force, even though parts of it may be ruled unconstitutional.
The two parts that don't matter anymore are (8) B and (8) D, definitions of child pornography
(B) such visual depiction is, or appears to be, of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct;
(D) such visual depiction is advertised, promoted, presented, described or distributed in such a manner that conveys the impression that the material is or contains a visual depiction of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct
Part (C) is interesting, and not ruled unconstitutional, photoshopping a minor's head into porn is still child pornography. Better ditch all those pre-18 fake Britney Spears and Anna K. pics you have.
It's trivial to do the same thing in linux. Just use a named pipe and leave the backend running. It's an inherent capability not something that had to be added in later.

Depends on your state.

And his father a drug dealer even!

People do this. It came up on the "Living below your means" board on the Motley Fool. There was a huge debate (flamefest) over whether it was ethical.
Even worse, we will have to all speak the same language, and have the same beliefs and religion as everyone else on our planet!
After reading the article, I get the scary feeling that the voices in my head that tell me to do things are getting into my computer too.

It was just a kid that piled up a bunch of radioactive chemicals, as far as I can tell from verious reports.
Some parts of his story don't check out, so I think there is a lot of exaggeration going on.

Ford sold the car either way.

Energy per unit weight, in an air atmosphere? That's some funny math, it comes out negative!
I think you meant mass.
I did, and it's about 30 dollars a year, assuming the worst case, that your computer is consuming 300 full watts all the time, which it isn't.

Uh, animal abuse acts are often a misdemeanor, because we kill and eat animals every fucking day
As soon as the whole world is vegan, then you might be able to puch your agenda, until then, animals will never have the same "rights" as humans.
