The best way for him to see justice is to let him get himself into the slammer for slander and/or libel, or be caught violating an obscenity law he helps pass.

You'd think the English translations would use "wine" when they meant wine, and "grape juice" when they meant grape juice, and make it a bit easier for those of us who haven't studied Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek...
Of course, the original texts are all public domain, so perhaps a translation wherein you make such distinctions is in order?
"Then what's two plus two?" "Well, the force between any two charges is equal to the absolute value of the multiple of the charges divided by 4 pi times the vacuum permittivity times the distance squared between the two charges."
Maybe it was an intentional omission, but the automobile story you referred to is more famous for the buggy whip example, now immortalized in business textbooks everywhere.
I'm of the opinion that he has serious problems in reasoning and anger management, yet we should have all the "evidence" and statements he put forward as a testimony against the sort misinformation the anti-gaming people parrot. Sure, we can ignore him on Slashdot and other online venues, but this guy has friends in Fox News, and enough people watch that to become easily deceived.
They probably don't want to deal with property purchase/rental and building permits beyond what's needed to toss a balloon into the air. At least, not in the experimental phase.
Well, in Microsoft's case, their history says it's akin to saying it's a pledge elsewhere, and actually saying "I blow my nose at you, toffee-nosed English pigdog!" at the flag.
Note that many big-name ISPs start at that "DSL Lite" low rate for 6-12 months, then slowly turn up the prices. Kind of like cooking a frog by slowly heating the water.
Fake appointments? Why not just schedule a recurring event called "Unavailable"? Better yet, why not set up a class of "Can't come to 'meeting', working" events?
Yes, if only the legislature had the guts to deny the huge Bush budget and instead muster a 2/3 majority to pass something that gives the President and VP zero money, then override his veto pen. Too bad most of the congressional Republicans (including McCain) are in the sway of the administration.
30 minutes (and some bashing about) after the purchase...
Norris: "Look here, I've had just about enough of this! That company is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not half an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it being tired and shagged out after a prolonged squawk." McBride: "Well, it's... probably pining for the FUD."
Correction: Why do media publishing companies (who all but steal the copyrights from artists) and government officials think copyright means "money for forever?"
Because that is their business model, and only recently is it becoming more and more exposed. Therefore they will use their lawyers and lobbyists to ensure that this model is set in place for as long as possible, or at least until they secure their golden parachutes and escape to South America.
It's been said before, but it bears repeating: What makes you think that a Democrat is any less likely to wiretap without warrants (among other abuses) as the current administration, given that they'll do as much as possible to put a Dem in the White House?
Well, to continue the wild speculation, here's a possible conversation between the engineering and marketing department heads:
E: "Good news: We've tested this thing on the Vista Capable machines, and it works. The bad news: It won't work as advertised." M: "Ship it anyway. They'll upgrade. They always do."
Economists (pro and amateur) disagree all the time over just about everything, or at least, so said an economics professor. You're only getting hit with overrated mods because some people don't agree with you. At least the mods weren't foolishly tagging you with "troll", "offtopic", or "flamebait". If that upsets or frustrates you, might I suggest taking a break from this thread for a bit?
I'm sure there are Ubuntu developers with Macs and Parallels, who either couldn't reproduce your problem or came up with a fix that for some reason couldn't be included in the default install (because, oh, it breaks every other system but your Mac model with Parallels?)-- irreproducibility, by the way, is often why OSS developers ignore some bug requests. They cannot see how it happens, ergo they cannot fix it. Figuratively beating them up and making a fuss about it often makes it worse, as no one wants to work under such pressure.
Software's first job is to service people, yes, but good software (heck, good anything) can never be hurried to everyone's timetable.
If all he's doing is making the government look even more incompetent and stupid than it needs to, and he's (effectively) sitting on his thumb otherwise, why don't they just fire him? Or persuade him to take an extended leave of office?
It might be even better to say "it's because of this administration." Bush may make the big talk and misuse his veto pen, but it really looks like Cheney and Addington call the shots in the executive branch (though I bet Addington is royally pissed at the current AG).
There are products out there with motion sensing (Macbooks?), but another point the GP trotted out has a fatal flaw:
Like, the Eye Toy might have been a revolution in the same way, or Dance Mats. Or like you say, the Power Glove, if it had worked. Or the Amiga Joyboard.
All of the products GP mentioned are add-ons. In other words, none of these came with the original system. They failed primarily because developers didn't make more than a few token mini-games for them, because the target market would be so small. Even if they built games that had these add-ons supported but not required, few people would buy the add-ons anyway-- what would be the blasted point in spending another $40~100 for something you don't even need to finish the game*? By making the new controller the default from day one, the developer is all but forced** to incorporate its capabilities into Wii games.
* Ignoring the rabid gamers that obsessively collect everything game-related... ** Sure, you can ignore the IR camera and motion sensors when you build the game, but you'd have to be an idiot to do so.
I think that Idaho judge has smoked too many potatoes. I'm thinking he was on the receiving end of a west African-style "due process payment". Of course, if someone tried to snoop for new swag the judge got, he'll probably have the book thrown at him.

Ah, then that means Homestar is dumber than a fish.

We have no need for nuculear or alternative power.
"'Nuculer.' It's pronounced 'nuculer.'"
In other words, you're saying that MSFT is buying Yahoo! to kill off competing technologies and salvage/leverage existing compatible ones.
Which does make sense, after all, since there are several OSS technologies supported by or used by Yahoo!.
