Well, okay, the last American ever to go into space (Capitalize Me? WTF?!) alone, where space means the set of points more than 103 km above sealevel.
... so far. It's only a matter of time until someone orbits the earth alone, goes to the Moon alone, etc. I, myself, plan on one day travelling to the Asteroid Belt alone, then eventually making my way out to the Oort Cloud alone.
Several U.S. presidents have died on the Fourth of July, two (Adams and Jefferson) on exactly the same day. (July 4 is when the U.S. declared its independence from Great Britain.)
I was basing my statement on the U.S. Constitution, which states that a person can bring suit for any amount >= $20. I was unaware that various states and localities had reduced this amount. Thanks for the info.
I just finished hammering out a quick analyzation of Trillian_1138's news submission and thought that Slashdot might find it interesting. Specifically:
it's "analysis", not "analization",
"instead" is one word, not two, and
"if every state had assigned their electoral votes" should be either "if every state had assigned its electoral votes" or "if all of the states had assigned their electoral votes".
Now, I realize that everyone makes the occasional typographic error (except for myslef, of course), but such blatant/ignorant misuse of the English language makes suspect the point(s) that he/she was trying to make.
You can't make a case in Small Claims Court for anything less than $20. So, unless you send the package via Federal Express Overnight or something else that is >= $20, you can't do much except maybe report them to the BBB, or perhaps register www.blizzardsucks.org and document your case there.
Condorcet voting indicates that you vote a preference for each possible combination, however this can be simplified to just ranking them in order because it satisfies all of the possible combinations.
No, it doesn't. As bizarre as it may seem, there are people out there who would choose A over B, B over C, and C over A. For such people, simple linear ranking won't work.
In my car, locking or unlocking the driver-side door with the key locks or unlocks all other doors. (The driver-side lock knob does the same thing.) I doubt that I would buy a car that doesn't do this, but if I had to use a car not so equipped (say, a rental), I would probably lock the other doors from the inside, then get out of the driver side and use the key.
My Father's car has one of those buttons that you press to lock all of the doors, but it's broken for the driver's door. That suits me just fine; I would consider this to be the ideal locking arrangement.
All the posts in this thread about locking your keys in your car leads me to ask one simple question: Why do you put yourself in a situation where you can lock your keys in your car in the first place? I locked my keys in my car once -- ONCE. Ever since then, I've locked my car from the outside using the key. I've never locked my keys in my car since. I don't understand why anyone, once he/she has been in a similar situation, wouldn't use this simple method of key-locking. It takes about 1 second longer than the other way, and can save much, much annoyance.
No chance. Monty Python disbanded when Graham Chapman died. It's unlikely that they will ever get back together, as he was the soul of the show. This is a good thing, IMO, because Monty Python would not be the same today. Laurel and Hardy, Abbot and Costello, Monty Python, the original SNL cast, were all quite funny, but were products of their times. I doubt that they would be as successful today.
Back on-topic, I don't see why Brooks is making a SB sequel. The original wasn't all that funny. In fact, except for Blazing Saddles, The Producers, and Young Frankenstein, nothing that Brooks has done is really very funny. (At most, it's mildly amusing.)
Cut back gradually. Eliminate a cup or glassful a day rather than going "cold turkey."
When I was addicted to Coca-Cola (1-2 liters/day), I tried many times to quit by cutting back gradually. It never worked, because I would find that, after a while, I had gradually (and quite unconsiously) increased my consumption until I was at my former level. Finally, I decided to just quit Cold Turkey. That meant that I would not have to keep track of how much I was drinking, which meant no unconsious increase. I had a tremendous headache for about three days, to the point where I couldn't do any work at all, and had trouble sleeping. After about five days, the headache was gone. I have not had any Coke since.
It's not the "Patriot" act; it's the "USAPATRIOT" Act. Please use the full acronym, or its full name: "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Trrorism". The "USAPATRIOT" Act has nothing to do with patriotism, so calling it the "Patriot Act" is misleading. (Considering how the Act is being misused these days, even using its full name is somewhat misleading (How is copyright infringement "terrorism"?).) Personally, I pronounce it "the you sap at riot act" to avoid confusion. Other pronunciations are "the US ap uh TRY ot act" and (as Jar-Jar) "the YOUsa pah TR-R-RE-E-E at act".
So if someone says "Bless you" or "God bless you" when you sneeze, do you jump down their throat, too?
Yes. Yes, I do. We have to nip this whole "religion" thing in the bud, before it gets too popular. Otherwise, it won't be too long before even government officials are using it as a basis for policy decisions.
How does kinetic energy become "loose", you illiterate fool?
The O.P. obviously meant "loose" as in "Loose the dogs!". So the point is that the kinetic energy will no longer be tied up or penned within a kennel, but will be free to chase and bite atoms and other matter within its vicinity.
Stripping the filename from the link to the tarball results in a link to this directory, which contains the libogg tarball that you wanted (as well as zips). Slightly modifying the link points to this directory, which contains the vorbis stuff.
How else will you be able to run such great oldies like Civilization, Dark Sun, or even Leisure Suit Larry.
With an emulator. A lot of today's hardware should be able to emulate older hardware faster than the older hardware itself ran. (OK, that last sentance was somewhat convoluted, but you know what I mean.)
Not sure if such a maser beam would be invisible to the naked eye.
Since the "M" in MASER stands for "microwave", the answer is that the beam itself would be invisible to the naked eye. (Some effects of the beam, such as heated air, water vapor, or dust particles, may be visible.)

Seriously it's a detriment to your health
Contrast with:
Go for a walk or run.: Get hit by a bus.
Take a hike.: Fall down the side of a mountain, or get mugged.
Go swim.: Drown.
Visit friends.: Spread germs.
Talk with your spouse or mate about their goals, dreams and fears.: Fights, divorce, crimes of passion.
Talk about politics or religion.: Look at how well that is working in the Middle East.
All of the activities that you mentioned can be more hazardous than sitting in front of a computer or TV all day.
A lot of today's hardware should be able to emulate older hardware faster than the older hardware itself ran.

Not everyone has a tool as specialized as
More likely "LoTR 2: The Wrath of Sauron".
(Some effects of the beam, such as heated air, water vapor, or dust particles, may be visible.)
That should give you plenty of time to seek shelter.
