I don't think he did; while admittedly sense (3) usually refers to a sound (eliding an 's' for example), sense (2) fits nicely. Certainly I think most people knew what he meant (which is the point of communication, after all).
On the other hand, go back far enough and shows used to be not only sponsored, but named after their sponsor. Advertising has always been a balancing act as to how much the public will tolerate without tuning out; video games are just another medium, they will be no different.
Bell Canada was, in fact, a member of the Bell System (i.e an ROC) from 1879 and was owned by AT&T until forced to divest it in 1956 due to an antitrust settlement with the DoJ. Somewhat earlier than the rest of them, but there you go.
Agreed. A 6600GT with 128MB vRAM at 1366x768 runs it just fine, full glass. (now if only I could persuade WoW to run at its native res, I wouldn't have to go back to s2k3 on the little machine...)
I'll admit, when I tried it briefly on my desktop machine (at 3360x1050) I used the 7800GT, but that's more pixels than most people have.
>Being able to execute private JTAG instructions will give you full access to all scannable latches in the microarchitecture, not something chip manufacturers are going to let you do
Only if they're doing DFT via JTAG. Possible, but certainly not a given. And on a microprocessor, even less likely (just use at-speeds....)
I purchased an iPod mini (for a christmas present) the other day. The levy is clearly itemized separately on the bill from the iPod itself. I don't suspect I'll have many problems getting that back. (not that I'm too worried if I do).

Sure, why not? The Prizm is just a rebranded Corolla, after all.....

True but even so she's not "perfect"; she does refuse the pardon at the end of the First Age and remains under the Ban until she rejects the ring, due in no small part to her ambition.
Elrond is another matter altogether; he seems to have gotten nothing but the best from _all_ of his heritage, be it Noldo, Edain or Maia. But that entire family is fairly special in Tolkien's world; so I'm willing to give him some leeway.
And as far as the original troll goes:) Remember Gandalf "Nothing is evil in the beginning. Even Sauron was not so" (I forget the exact quote, but it ran something like that). And for that matter, neither was Melkor.

I kind of doubt it, actually. I suspect that if you look at your driver's licence you'll find that it remains the property of the issuing state:)
Well, not the _whole_ way.... but yes, traffic is fairly heavy from Seattle to Portland, especially in the stretch from Seattle to Olympia. I-5 can be a royal pain, particularly during certain times of the day. 4 hours from Seattle to Portland is not unreasonable - and it can certainly take more.
If you're trying to do 'parallel' processing for an FPGA (really, concurrent execution of statements/processes), you're much better off with one of the HDLs - Verilog or VHDL being the two most common - where the entire language is designed around parallelism.
Verilog was originally developed by Cadence, IIRC, but is now a standard; VHDL was designed for the DoD's VHSIC program and is (loosly) based on ADA.

Closer to home, although the new Canadian bills (currently the $5 and the $10) are all the same size, they have braille marks on them. Not sure how well these will hold up under long-term use, but then again, bills don't tend to last long anyways.

There is an excellent argument to be made that you played the _second_ (if not the first) most necessary class in the game; and although more exciting than the cleric, most of the excitement is due to the fact that 'chanters are also the most reliant class in the game...
On the other hand.. cleric + enchanter? Bet you never had any problems getting a party....
It's not a remote, but my reciever/dvd/tv are hooked up via s-link; and while I don't really notice it affecting much, the one feature I do appreciate is loading a DVD in the DVD player will automatically turn on the receiver, the TV, and set them up to the appropriate inputs.
Quite handy, because 99% of the time when I stick a DVD in the DVD player, that's exactly what I want to do, and navigating the silly Sony 2-way remote (I _hate_ complicated remotes.....) is such a pain.

No books on me but I don't believe Elrond left Imladris until he brought Arwen to Gondor.
I'll have to check but I'm fairly sure on this one.
