As long as the owner's personal LAN is not accessible, this could be a good way to offset the costs of the average geek's bandwidth bill
How would that be? You are supposed to share your Internet bandwith in order to gain access to other people's hot-spots. The idea, as I understand it, is that by sharing your home access you get access everywhere else where other FON users are available.
Set your filter to "Archive" the mails coming from the mailing lists. Then they wont show in the inbox, while they will still appear as unread under their respective label.
You won't get the "new mail" notification, but since those are high-traffic mailing lists, I presume that's a bonus as well.
For those unhappy souls as myself that were left unable to run iTunes after upgrading, and that are receiving a moronic 'cannot find ordinal 21 on mapi32.dll' or something like that, check this
The remaining problem is who gets to receive those 'goods'.
If 4% of the population consume 25% of the produced energy to manufacture 30% of the total goods, only to benefit a 5% of the global populace; well, that seems to spell trouble.
I am not in position of contesting your numbers, and mine are invented, but posting little parts of a complex equation does very little to have a civilized argument.
My experience, many moons ago, was that I knew that I was attracted to women long before I had experienced sexual ecstacy with a woman. Which contradicts your assertion that it is all learned.
We may or may not learn everything that is _us_, but your silly anecdote doesn't prove or disprove anything.
The foundations of learning aren't actual experience for the most part, but a miryad of different things. I would say that most of the time experience plays the more trivial of parts in the learning process.
Europeans often skip voicemail, although they have sophisticated versions. Their mobiles automatically send a note saying "1 missed call," and tell them who called. People call back even without a message.
News flash - so does my ancient Nokia 5160. Caller ID is part of the package. Apparently the writer doesn't know how to use his phone or he'd know that.
Newsflash: It's fun to say moronic things, but not very useful.
For its Caller-ID to work, your phone has to be on when the call comes through.
The 'feature' that the reporter is mentioning, albeit not very exciting, works differently. You lose a call (phone is off, out of network cover, whatever); and then when you come back online you get a message stating how many lost calls you got from which numbers.
This does nothing to prove that software patents are good in any way. That circumstantially they could help the side I/we/us like more doesn't say a thing about the practices involved.
It's like saying that nukes are OK after all because they can be used to make a couple of craters in Redmond and Utah.
This seems to primarily be an issue for folks who bought the game from a store; I purchased the game via Steam and was playing at 12:15 am PST on launch day.
It may simply indicate that the number of people buying after the retail launch, buying the boxed version in a physical store, vastly surpasses that of those that bought through Valve, either preloading or in the first rush-to-download.
On afterthought it doesn't seem that that surprising really.
Funny thing is that someone else, many years before the Babelfish, thought of that.
Read The Galactic Pot-Healer, by Dick.
The protagonist and a few friends play a game where they have to guess the name of a movie that was translated a couple of times through an automatic machine.
In my case, the only thing they need to take off is that they should start selling the stupid things.
I regularly use my Tungsten T3 as an eBook reader, but the only content I can get is the one available in Project Gutenberg.
With a beautiful reader (TiBR) available, which allows to me to configure it in detail to suit my taste (landscape, full-screen, very-light-grey on very-dark-blue, bookmarks, and so on) I had read many thousand of pages of literary pleasure.
But while I could go on reading classics almost forever, now and then I would like to get a book from the last 50 years, or maybe a technical manual, and I would have no problem in paying for it. Even if the suckers want me to pay as much as the printed version costs.

Worst. Idea. Ever.

It works very nicely for me.

The cheapest option to get OSes betas with MSDN subscriptions seems to be MSDN Professional, at $699.
Or so it seems according to this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/howtobuy/subscribers/

I thought that the old one was "it doesn't work, but wait for the next version and it probably will".

As you said, everything is relative.
Was that IE under XP SP2?
Because for example, this pop-up (link stolen from a comment by 'alatesystems') works under FF, but gets promptly blocked under IE SP2.
I am not going back to IE or anything, or saying that anyone should, but things are not black and white.
I don't know about the Illinois part, but that Schaumburg thing surely sounds German.
Getting your drmed aac files to 'any other music device' is not as easy as you put it.
Why the fuck are there so many insecure americans these days? Get a grip, relax. USA is still the only superpower we have.
And about the internationality of this mission...
It was terribly hard to find, I know.

See now? It wasn't so hard.
I can't get enough of this TDA thingie.
Hopefully we'll read about it again soon.
If you are going to "back-up" your claim with an example, it would be better if that example was real, and not yet another hypothesis.
You know that the shuffle thing you mention hasn't happened yet, right?

If he forgets his lastname it makes sense to have it broadcasted, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get that practical reminder.
Well, I don't think your reasoning is very sound.

These cars are awesome, and incredibly cool. The amount of options you have when you choose outside/inside colors/textures is amazingly wide.
But not everybody fall in love with its bubble shape, of course

That's for the search bar of IE.
The equivalent for moz sidebar is this linky

Sadly, that option is nowhere to be seen.
You could, as the owner of the CR, change your mind and release 1.0 under a different license.
But that license would only apply to those acquiring from you after the change of license.
People who got 1.0GPL would be able to to as they saw fit (including redistributing 1.0GPL), since they never accepted the new license.
Or at least that's how I managed to understand it.
Neither for boobs.
They are not looking at the same internet than we do, that's for sure.
