Sony and Toshiba may end up owning the living room, while Microsoft etc. fight it out for the desktop. Everyone in the PC industry thinks that the living room will make them more money...
If Windows power consumption was in a par with Linux and the claims are simply a mask for discrimination I will never buy Intel again.
Yes, because we all know how much Intel hates Linux. I mean, they've never done anything to help out Linux, such as being a co-founding member of the Open Source Development Lab
One problem I've seen in particular with the teaching of evolutionary theory (at least when I was in High School) is that they don't teach the evolution of the theory.
We usually see textbooks saying that Darwin came up with evolution, and that his theory is what we believe today. In reality, his work was simply the first to cause a large proportion of scientists look at evolution (a theory that existed at the time), and that it has been revised and updated since then.
There's a bit of mondern Darwin-worship, as if he had determined this whole theory that comes down to us today.
You forget that a 'well regulated militia' was just used to overthrow the government a few years before.
Since the 2nd Admendment states that the right to arms is necessary for "the security of a free State" (emphasis mine), then I would say that the taking of arms against a repressive government is implied in the word "free."
Also, it is odd, but often times city and suburb dwellers have less need of firearms than rural populations, because of the rapid police response. The US has a very large area to cover with police, and a large rural population compared to a lot of Europe.
In short, because you have never needed a gun in your lifetime, it doesn't mean that others don't.
What? You actually are willing to pay for TurboTax.
Every year, I get it for $0 after rebate (basic edition). It helps that my state taxes are so simple, that it takes about 5 min after I print out my 1040.
If the IRS insists on making the tax code so complicated
Remember: it's not the IRS that makes the tax code, it's congress. The complications are so that little congresspeople can get some loophole that they want in there.
Yeah, the IRS can be a pain to deal with, but they have to deal with the convoluted laws passed down by our elected representatives.
I would say that dates are important to know, in general. Especially for the young, who are working on learning memorization skills, and who need to have a variety of information as 'maps' in order to know where to place later info.
Well, everyone knows that buying Tin Foil off the shelf will make a bad hat, because the Government puts inpurities in the Tin that will amplify the signal of the brain-control lasers. (That's why you smelt your own Tin for your hats).
These wires in the Passports are made of the same material that they use as inpurities in Tin Foil, because it increases the signal of brain-control and person-tracking beams.
While there are problems with your overall argument, I have to agree that diet can have a drastic effect on intelligence.
Example: lots of people feed infants and todlers low-fat diets. That's STUPID. Fat is required for brain development. If you feed a low-fat diet to a young child, it will have an effect on their brain development.
You're assuming that all people with AD(H)D have the same reason behind the disease. Like almost everything having to do with the brain, AD(H)D may have several biological things going on behind the scenes causing similar symptoms.
It will do very well in a particular niche the grandparent post didn't even think about: small-scale CD making.
Lots of home-based businesses would love to be able to make a simple, permament, and 100% waterproof image on their CDs easily. I know mine would, and black-and-white is fine for our purposes. If it costs me less than 10% extra for the disks, then it will be worth it.
I would also never have an electric vehicle as my only vehicle, but as a second, commuter-only car it would be great. After all, if you don't live within round-trip distance of work, you probably live with round-trip distance of some sort of mass-transit (there are lots of 'park and rides' in suburbia near me).
When I was a lab admin for Macs, we tried everything to discourage IE useage. Finally, I replaced IE with an AppleScript that caused a "are you sure, or do you want to run firefox" box to come up. Only if they said okay then it ran IE.
The difference between the first exit polls that I heard of and the results in those states were within the margin of error of the polls. Then you see that a group was over-sampled, and so you revise for that reason...
And please stop characterizing condoms as non-functional. If you have some scientific data to back up your belief I would love to see it.
Data from a report by the National Institute of Alergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health, and Department of Health and Human Serives.
Summary of HIV info: "consistent condom use decreased the risk of HIV/AIDS transmission by approximately 85%"
So, no, not non-functional. They also aren't 99.999% effective, as you claim.
After all, I'm sure that they never designed the towers to survive an intentional collision with an airliner.
Actually, they admitted that they designed it for a plane on low speeds, searching the fog for JFK. They never expected one to slam full-throttle into them.
Seeing as how Eugene is about 100 miles to Eugene, Albany is a bit closer.
Of course, Eugene is within 50 miles of Albany, and we have Smith Family Bookstores (2 locations). Not as big as Powells, but still has a very good selection.
...but dvd burners are still somewhat scarce (for the average user).
Of course, Apple's been pushing DVD burners for a long time now. I wouldn't be surprised if Apple has shipped more build-in DVD burners than any other company (at least a higher % in the last few years).

Add in to the high cost of cable that you have to watch endless comcast adverts blowing their own trumpets.
Yeah, I always wondered what 100% pure broadband was. I wonder if I can get 50% pure broadband for half-price...

So Sweden has a 0% murder rate? No crime at all?

You paid for TurboTax too.
"Free after rebate" is the greatest scam ever.
No, the greatest scam ever is taking a portion of your paycheck every month, and then requiring you to fill out paperwork to get it back.
At least buying TurboTax is a choice (and a risk).
I've always gotten me TurboTax rebate.
I wouldn't deduct most of what you listed (look at pub 529)
Which you can do here

No single app crashing has ever brought my XP system down.
I've had my Win2k system brought down by a single app, and I've seen it at work with XP.
Just because it's never happened to YOU doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

I don't remember the exact wording of the text/answers, but it was non-confusing (maybe it was yes/no to an 'are you sure' question).
Of course, you could just buy an USB to Serial adapter for ~$20...
