Frozen water is not wet -- Definition 1 of "wet" from dictionary.com: Covered or soaked with a liquid, such as water. All of the definitions talk about liquids, not about water. Frozen water is by definition solid, and therefore not wet.
Hmm, I think you use an interesting definition of the word "need". Perhaps your brother would be better served by a van -- they tend to have more cargo capacity, and better fuel efficiency than pickup trucks.
Same goes for large families -- a van which seats 8 will be more efficient (typically 20-25mpg) than most alternatives. Or were you thinking of some other "large" vehicle, like a pickup truck (which seats ? In any case, the efficiency per person will likely be greater, unless the 2 cars you're talking about get 40-50mpg. In that case yes, taking 2 cars will be more efficient.
And then there's the "need" to take the boat to the lake....... Yes, these people should "feel the pain" for this luxury of owning a boat, and taking it out to the lake. There is no way this is a "need", unless it's a fishing boat which is the family's livelihood -- in which case they should leave the boat in the lake, and not tow it back and forth. In either case, owning a boat is no excuse for driving this "needed" gas guzzler all the time, even when you're not towing the boat!
Yes, and this Englishwoman has been granted an exclusive (but temporary) lease by the U.S. Government. The post you quoted said absolutely nothing about her nationality. Dipshit.
That was exactly the point of your quoted post. If George Bush had hired him, he could do what he wanted with his reports, but he didn't. Taxpayers' money (including the poster's) did.
Why? I am certainly not in a policy-making position at NASA, but it's not wrong for me to say "I think NASA should do XYZ". Why should the same not be true this scientist? If he's not in a policy-making position, then his statement is by definition not capable of setting policy. I'd say it would be more important for someone who/is/ in a policy-making position to watch what he/she says.
Maybe it should be looked at as if it happened with a non-electronic breakin.
What if he'd unlocked the front door with a copied key, broken off his coleague's key in the lock, maybe shredded a few random documents and destroyed the lock on a filing cabinet?
I don't think this sort of punishment would be appropriate, so why is it just because it's electronic? Even if they hired $expensive_security_company to repair the lock and the filing cabinet, and then claimed that was the cost of damage...it would be considered ridiculous.

Exactly. The vast majority of people don't care about video performance.
only if the ambient temperature is 0C or higher.
Yes. Water (Liquid H2O) is wet. On this we are in agreement.
Solid H2O is not, unless it's covered in some liquid.
The GP claimed that it was. ("even frozen water is wet")

In future, please consider using capital letters. It would make your post much easier to read.
Thanks.
24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 weeks a ... 7-year period? Huh?
How about just 24/7, or 24/7/52 or 24/365 if you must specify "all year"?
WTF. Did you even read the summary? "one CNET columnist is 'threatening suicide'". CNET is joking about suicide; Apple is not.
No no no, (was 8 and married an Ada woman) => lives in Norman.
Yup. There's no other place out there. The sky is actually a curtain with lightbulbs stuck to it.
Yup...I was quoted $475 install, $75/month.
"hurr"
By "lockouts" you mean "DOS attacks" right?
w00t, personal attack. I love it!
wtf does the bible have to do with anything?
It's written in Asimov's stories, that's just as valid as the freaking bible.
But these laws are written.

Yeah, but neither are any English words. So translate it right, and maybe "artsy chick" is a valid translation of something in there.

Enough to make a difference apparently. That's exactly what this article is about!

It does have newsgroups support, but it's not very good. e.g. no anonymous logins (no reading gmane)
What's wrong with "messing with X11"? Is there some other windowing system you'd rather get your customers to use on Linux?
If you meant on Windows or Mac, there's no reason to, if NeoOffice/J is what it claims to be.

that "brother" patch? or is br'er now a contraction of briar somehow?
and the proponents of ddmmyyyy would love your ss:mm:hh format. Go ISO!
