while the American "Conservative" is closer to the classical definition of "Liberal."
Ahhh, I get it. So, the classical definition of Liberal means to be against women's rights, to be for slavery, to be against desegregation, to hold greediness as the highest value, to be in favor of war, to be in favor of any religion as long as it's Christianity, to be concerned about what people do in the privacy of their own bedrooms?
You seem to have a distorted view of the normal American conservative. You seem to take some ultra-ultra-right wing ideas and make them normative. What even somewhat mainstream conservative is for slavery, against woman's rights or any of the other things that you talk about? There are conservatives who are against the current war. There are non-Christian conservatives (after all, the so-called 'neo conservative' movement is often accused by some liberals (or, actually, leftists) to be run by Jewish people).
Yes, some people in the south have cultural ideas about when you can sell whiskey - but in liberal Oregon all of our liquor stores are owned by the state.
It sounds like you need to re-examine your prejudices.
The article doesn't mention Firewire/1394, Hypertransport, Infiniband, Serial ATA, etc.
Actually it does mention Serial ATA as the replacement for ATA. I don't know why it doesn't mention Firewire which at least gets plenty of press these days that a lot of non-computer types know about it.
I believe that these filters have other uses. It's possible someone who put one on his system for a potentially pefectly legit reason, and found out that they delay (or maybe block on his cable network) the PPV signal. They said 'cool' and started advertising them for that reason.
People who sell them as 'block PPV!' should be gone after (for false advertising if nothing else) while Radio Shack who sells them as "coax one-way filters' (or whatever) should be left alone.
I just tried out both Mozilla with "quick start" enabled (which makes up for the pre-loaded DLLs of IE) and made an informal test on an XP box. Both loaded up in about 1 second.
Small businesses. Let me repeat, SMALL buisnesses. We're not talking about companies that give their owners multi-million dollar perks, we're talking about companies of a few people who struggle to make it.
That being said, I still don't think it's a good idea.
Galeleo was persecuted, till he was proved right (which is after his death) etc. etc.
Actually, the main things Galileo got in trouble for were: 1. being a prick, and 2. saying that the rotation on the earth is what caused tides (and that it was impossible for even God to come up with another way to cause tides)
The fact that he got some people mad at him for 1 is the main thing he's remembered for, not that his actuall "proof" for "his" idea of heliocentricity turned out to be wrong.
(Interesting note, Nicolaus Copernicus dedicated his On the Revolution of the Celestial Orbs to Pope Paul III)
Actually Dr Pepper is owned by the Dr Pepper/Seven-Up Company, which is owned by Cadbury Schweppes. Pepsi is only one of several bottlers and distributors of Dr Pepper in the US.
My university seems to have more issues with people allowing others to upload than with downloading. If you keep your bandwidth not too high (and/or can come up with a good excuse like "I'm working on a short film for a class.") then you're okay.
So it does encourage P2P leaching, but it keeps the university out of trouble with "you had copyrighted material available."
But why send a complete list of all of the programs on the computer? Why not send "Windows 98 SE, IE 6.0," and a few things that windows update can actually help with, and not that I am using the WordPerfect suite and not MSOffice (quick, apply the "SlowWordPerfect() operation! and the MakeMozillaCrawl() one two!)
I know it's a bit of paranoia, but I'd rather them not know what I've got running at all, but I'll let them know what MS software I have because that's what I'm getting fixes for.
Then part of the bill will have to be what the words say etc. i.e. it must be so big and say a specific thing, or one of a few choices. (Like the surgen general's warning on cigarettes).
Except that the states are not administrative districts of the nation, but are semi-autonomous. Being a union on states means that what is important is not who gets the most votes, but who gets the most support of the various states.
IMHO, this is the number one thing most often misunderstood about the US system.
Have you ever worked in any sort of tech support job? I get all sorts of "I accidentally dragged this to the wrong place" or other such malady of a user who is not used to the computer.
And, since we're talking about the confidence of newbies, I've seen lots of people who are scared of 'doing something wrong' with the GUI
There's always my favorite of standing over someone, and telling them "okay, now click the... no not that, wait until I finish, now click canc... wait! not okay, cancel. Now click on the print... why are you opening excel? Now please click on... stop! Why are you restarting the computer" on and on...
GUIs don't save you from clueless or experienced users doing something wrong or by accident (I know I've clicked the wrong place before)
Oh, and I've gotten the "I've accidentally dragged something to the trash" problem before from a user. (emptied it too, thinking that would put everything back).
Actually, this shows the pro-life stance. Namely, that the same effects (getting stem cells) can be done without getting them from the unborn child. That's what the adult part of adult stem cells means.
Adult stem cells have 2 MAJOR advantages over embryonic stem cells:
1. No rejection. They'll take _your_ stem cells and grow them and then put them back into you. You don't need to find a match. (So, yes they can be taken from a living patient).
2. No ethical issues. Many people have many good reasons to oppose the killing of an unborn child in order to get to stem cells. (in the process of taking stem cells from an unborn child you kill the child)
From what I hear (my wife's a biologist) they are actually finding that Adult stem cells may be much easier to work with, and that embryonic ones are a dead end (no pun intended).
I also find some important things with the ents and the trees vs. the fires for steel - Treebeard even mentions that the orcs of Saruman cut down trees not even for the good reason of feeding fires, just to be mean to living things. It seems that he understands that trees are needed for fire.

Getting married will kill your sexlife 9 times out of 10. The one guy is the lucky bastard :)
Hey, my parents were married when I was conceived!
Considering you rarely need any support with Windows
As someone who supports windows users, I laugh at that statement!
I think if you read "It guarantees an 8:1 compression ratio" as "It guarantees a minimum 8:1 compression ratio" it would make sense.
I thought Fox News had more viewers than CNN does now...

What is Latin for "loser grammar nazi"?
Well, Latin doesn't have a word for nazi, but "plebitas grammaticus" would be a "lower class grammarian."

I know a few people working in virology who would like to get their hands on you.

So, for these next 11 Fridays, tune into SciFi channel for 1 hour, Support 'Scape, and then tune in to another station. :)
As long as you're their for an hour, stay for 2 and watch Stargate SG-1 (which, in my mind, is a better show).
Another thing about Oregon is the livability.
No! Don't tell them about that! They may actually come to live here!

I ran Win98 and NS4.x on a P100 w/ 16 megs of ram for a long time, it ran fine unless you had a lot of windows open.
Except with CTS and other RSI injuries it's not the muscle that we're worried about, it's the tendons.
