Actually "the whole Iwo Jima" thing was an unscripted spontaneous moment in war that was captured by a photograph (that won a pulitzer), from which statues were made. So, to say or imply that it was designed by a comittee would be entirely false, and wildly escapes the parameters that the idiom was meant to describe. Espically if you are aware of the video
I think that most people identifies a truism from their own personal experience, and this would be one case. Who hasn't been associated with a committee or group of people that get mired in their decision process (evidently besides you)? That said, every truism like anything else might have it's exception. The first thing that pop's into my mind is the Draper's guild who managed to get a Rembrandt of themselves painted, even though they were the ones that probably commissioned it!
It's a problem if thousands of your constituents wake up and find that their TV doesn't work. Which case, you as a public representative has really screwed up. Besides them letting the economy grind to halt, you don't have TV, in the middle of winter to boot. Maybe because I don't have a coupon yet or maybe because I only switch it on once a week. Either case there are some who are gonna get caught by surprise. Dealing with this in the summer months seems much more logical to me.
Why Win7 is not purely 64 bit is beyond me - any recent machine can run the 64 bit version, any older machine should be running XP anyway.
Because when Vista came out there was incredible buyer resistance towards buying new machines, and given the current economic environment Microsoft does not want to make the new version of Windows irrelevant again??
he Hanford site is nothing short of an almost unbelievable disaster area.
Not almost unbelievable, but completely unbelievable. There is so much contanimation that parts of the site have been declared "National sacrifice areas" on maps. The conditions in the liquid waste tanks is such that they are rusting and leaking. From all the radioactive decay they generate large amounts of heat. There are possibilities that pockets of this material can reach criticality and explode, or get hot enough to ignite the hydrogen gas and explode that way. In either case releasing a large toxic cloud. They have installed stirrers in some of the tanks to try and prevent this from happening.
Actually I will. His reporting improved significantly from his early blogging days, so much so that I often did not notice that the story submitted here on Slashdot was from Roland unless the "oh no its Roland" tag appeared. I think this became more of a good natured ribbing rather than slighting him personally. I also subscribed to the nascent "oh yeah it's Roland" tag movement a couple of months back. Now that he is gone, I really do miss him. Rest in peace, friend.
While Hearst may have a valid trademark for any specific brand of item aka Popeye brand T-shirts, they can not stop anyone from producing a t-shirt with the image of Popeye on it! In this case, they have a valid Popeye trademark, but their Popeye copyright rights *have* been extinguished. Confusing the two to some how extend protections is what the high court has clearly delineated against.
Yes, but we can't breathe their. Also, their is no oxygen, water, food, nor farmland to grow anything, It would be hard to haul cows up to milk and/or eat. While the shuttle *might* have been able to haul cows up, the shuttle fleet will be retired shortly. They also need hay and water. You may say well, why don't we just send up an extra load of steaks, dried buttermilk and Tang? The problem with this is that you will run out again and can not replenish supplies without it costing ten billion USD a load. While I accept the fact the moon is made of cheese, it most likely is moldy and hence it's green tinge.
In the end, man should not go into space until the cows are ready to call space home.
However, Hearst's trademark registrations would bar you from using Popeye as a brand to sell your new comic strip.
The US supreme court has struck down the copyright/patent/trademark interactivity used by corporations to falsely create protections beyond what the original category allows. Specifically, the copyrighted image of Popeye when (and more importantly if) reaches the public domain in the US, nothing can be done to stop people from selling T-shirts with Popeye images on them, even though King Feature syndicate will most likely argue (again) that they have a "trademark" on Popeye. After all, their paid staff attorneys need to earn their keep (like most all corporate attorneys that know on the outset that they really have a losing argument).
Of course, this only is the case if their is no further erosion of copyright by corporate interests tyring to get more handouts.

Don't mean to get pedantic, but you asked for it.
It had be better a lot quicker than that, I'm running out of gas money.
It's always about getting the fool.

You mean on Second Life??
Not only that, people/companies were asking for a downgrade from Vista to Xp with there new machines, which slashdot has been following for some time.

For a minute there I thought that you said that Windows 7 extension was announced by terrorists and pirates.
From your post, we can determine in a non-relativistic manner that Bill is actually cheating on Alice.
How can an LHC scientist say oops if their vocal cords have entered another dimension of space and time?

Here is more details about his death, which appears to be a fast moving gastrointestinal virus.
Your comment suggests that Hearst's trademark rights will be extinguished by copyright expiration, and that is not the case.
No, what I am suggesting is that the courts have made a clear distinction between copyright and trademark use

The market will decide whether that was a good trade.
I expect we will see some of the sleekest, cool looking, great operating extension cords produced to date.

What are they gonna do when they hit twelve? No more Dr. Who?
Captain Kirk will be brought in. Someone that can be trusted to get the job done once and for all.
With the current state of the industry and the world economy, have you considered taking Chinese?
Alternatively, he could learn Spanish so he could talk with coworkers at his McJob. Some even require it now.
