Can I suggest that when wording the ammendment, something like:---
(1) It will be unlawful for Congress to make legislation that works in diverse areas. (2) Should any such law be passed by Congress, it will be the obligation of the President to veto it. (3) The first ammendment is hereby repealed.
Also many members of the British Empire, as the Roman before it, were pleased and happy to call themselves British. The majority of Australians, even of Austarlian natives (i.e. white people born in Australia), considered themselves British right down to the Great War, at least.
To be pedantic, NaCl isn't used in neural transmission; solutions of Na+ and Cl- are. If it was just NaCl it wouldn't cause the differnce in charge that's needed. But in any case, a lot of things that are unhealthy for us are needed. No-one's said that depriving yourself of all salt is going to make you healthy, just that excessive amounts are bad; and I've not heard anyone contradicting that.
That applies to most things. The moral? Take everthing in moderation. Including moderation.
Well, you can even get the kernel precompiled, but I don't have Linux on my Mac yet, so I have no idea how I'm meant to boot off the kernel (I know there's a bootloader, but it doesn't seem to compile under OS X). If I had the same sort of predicament on Linux/x86 I'd probably be able to work something out, but I have no idea how Macs work. I should be able to work something out with a vague set of helpful instructions but I don't know where to start from.
(The Gentoo forums have stuff, but nothing's released that works yet. It's mostly posts like mine---is there anything happening?---unless something's changed.)
Anyone know of a distro of Linux that works on the iMac G5? I understand there's a kernel that works but I'll be damned if I can work out how to install it, until I can already get it to run.
They can, given two conditions: (1) The software author said 'you can use GPL v2.0 or any later version at your option'. (2) The user decides to accept the retroactive licencing
Hence, most of Linux can't be retroactively licensed (most of the code says it can only use GPL v2.0), but most/all of GNU can be retroactively licensed (most of the code says it can use GPL 2 or later). Whether someone chooses to use a retroactively-licenced version of Gnome depends on whether they want to use the new provisions or not.
America is no longer and democracy. It has too many people; no-one has any say any more, except the people in power and the opposition. (The US isn't the only country that suffers from this; even Australia with its megre 20 million is too big a country.) This wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the centralisation of power in the US as in Australia, which would mean there's a lot of smaller countries in which people can have a say.
Nonsense. I'd rather a ban on telling people stuff for six months to ensure people get a fair trial. That way, everyone wins. I'm disgusted that anyone thinks otherwise, and hope they get punished.
If an election would intervene, and the information held back could affect a significant number of peoples votes, simply vote for whoever will act as a caretaker government until the information's released, and then call another election. (I assume Canada doesn't have fixed election times, like Australia and other places that inherit the British system.)
Why? Everyone seems to complain about the Gimp's name, but what's wrong with it? I mean, calling it the GNU Photo Editor might be better from a branding-GNU + what-it-does perspective, but OTOH, apart from the GNU Image Manipulation Program, what does the Gimp mean?
Weirdly, OS X's are also sitting beside each other but I never accidentally hit the close box. There is space between them.
I'm a recent convert* to Mac OS X too, and I find I'm at least as likely to click the wrong button on OS X as on Windows. My solution under Linux? Put the close button where it belongs---on the opposite side of the title bar. Can't do it on a Mac though.
* I say that, but I think my purchase was a rashly prematurely made decision and as soon as I can I'm going back to Linux. Sadly, I chose about the only model that no distribution seems to support.
Does Canada have fair use? Australia doesn't, because our copyright law was based on the the recommendations from Britain or the Commonwealth or some such. I assumed most Commonwealthish nations would be the same.
That's not what I said at all. I said that 'it's' is the only possessive adjective ending in -s that doesn't end in -'s. 'My', 'her' etc. don't end in -s, whereas 'hers', 'yours' etc. aren't adjectives, but pronouns, so they don't count.
But I'm still wrong, because of 'his'. My excuse here is that 'his' is distinguishable from a productive creation, but 'its' isn't, and 'it's' and 'its' are homophonous, as with noun's possessive/whatever-we-call-the-form-from-contract ion-of-is-has-etc . 'Its' looks like it's in the same category as 'Zsau's' or 'one's', and for all intents and purposes might as well be.
In any case, I have no problems getting 'its' and 'it's' right (typos and brainfarts notwithstanding). What I have a problem with is that, in your words, the entire possessive-forming process is rather mixed up. Obviously we can't fix the pronunciation, but there's no reason that we can't fix up the orthography of homophones.
(The possessive of 'it' was originally 'his'. A few centuries ago, people started using the productive -'s to form the possessive, and so it was originally spelt 'it's' anyway (tho at this stage the orthography wasn't fixed for many words). Look at it this way: all I'm asking is that we return to the original spelling!;)
My reading of the Yahoo! article is that she was actually looking for it. When you're actively looking for something, it's a lot easier to find it then when your just piddling along. How many dinosaur fossils have you found?
I prefer not to see it as a degradation. I prefer to see it as the language preparing itself for an update of its orthography. The English orthography stinks, and it will be bliss when it returns to the age not long gone when people spelt in ways that made sense, more than because that's how their father spelt.
Take for instance O. Why does O normally behave as an O, according to the rules of O, but after a W except before K, G or NG it behaves as a U, and to get a letter that behaves as an O, you need to use A? The day is long gone when ui/vi, ni, w, m, ju/iv, in and iii all looked the same; our orthography can afford to give up this legacy.
And why is it that the only possessive adjective that ends in -s that *doesn't* have an apostrophe is 'its'? The -s at the end of 'its' is exactly the same as the -'s at the end of 'Zsau's' or 'one's'. We can tell what I mean when I say 'Andrew's going home' and 'Andrew's house', why do we need the redundancy in 'it's going home' and 'its house'.
And a Rubuntu with ROX and a Eubuntu with Enlightenment and... hey, I've got an idea, why don't we just install the XFCE/ROX/Enlightenment/Foo-environment packages on a Ubuntu desktop! Yeah, that's a good idea! Hey yeah, Zsau's right! He makes a good point! Yeah!
Some people prefer to spell in alternative ways. 'Labor' was an acceptible spelling in the late 1800s, and it took one major Australian newspaper till the late 1990s before it homogenised. One major political party still uses the old spelling, standardised upon as late as the 1920s.
Actually, Australia is full. It mightn't have as dense a population as Europe or America, but it has as much, possibly more, population than it can support. I'm fully in favor of any policy that reduces immigration, not because I'm racist, but because I'd rather our population decrease.
I can't help but wonder what would happen if those resources were invested in KDE, instead of Gnome...
I know you're just trolling (or at least, painting an opinion as fact) but I'll bite anyway.
If the resources invested in Gnome were invested in KDE, then KDE would be Gnome and Gnome would be KDE. Investors like the business-friendly environment of Gnome, and the easyy-to-use interface. That's what their money would make it become. The opposite is true of the free KDE developers.

Cool, could you give me a copy? Also, there's a couple of things I don't like about it's interface... I'd like the source code if you could! Thanks!
Can I suggest that when wording the ammendment, something like:---
(1) It will be unlawful for Congress to make legislation that works in diverse areas.
(2) Should any such law be passed by Congress, it will be the obligation of the President to veto it.

Won't that lose the ability to search through the PDF? Or do those methods still send the text, not just an image of what they're printing?

I thought you meant tip as in landfill, and that fits quite well, because the Word format is a load of rubbish! (Sorry, I needed to say it.)
