Grits are a traditionally Southern breakfast food. Remeber that gooey stuff they ate in The Matrix? It is kind of like that. People tend to have a love/hate relationship towards it. I personally love them. The "hot" part of "hot grits" is a bit redundant because grits are usually eaten hot. Kind of like specifying "cold ice cream".
This varies from state to state but in Florida refusing a breathalizer test is an admission of guilt. If you refuse the test, the courts are to assume you were drunk. Completely unconstitutional really but since when has that stoped any law makers in the past 150 or so years?
Why not simply raise your hand and ask the professor during the lecture? Has always worked for me. Maybe things are different at the big degree factories. Hopefully you can clarify if that is the case.
If it can do DVD decoding, it can do SVCD. They are both MPEG-2. SVCD is lower quality though so it is even EASIER to decode. Plus, you don't have to deal with decryption of the DVD data.
There is a difference between anarchy and anarchism. Anarchy is chaos. Anarchism is removal of most law and government control. The idea is that you need little else besides contractual law.

It is also important to point out that Boromir's father is NOT the king of Gondor. He is merely the steward put in place while they await the return of the true king. Thus the title of the third book and movie, Return Of The King.
In all honesty I believe the Slashdot whining is because a lot of posters are poor college students or jobless teenagers. This means they generally cannot afford the shiny stuff. About this time last year I was running a PII-233 myself. By denouncing the great you can make the not-so-great seem better.
On the subject of hard-core vs soft-core porn... There is a distinction that has absolutely nothing to do with "addict". Hard-core porn simply involves actual sex (classical, orale, or otherwise). Soft-core is just a woman (or man I guess...) posing.
In Switzerland, it is a little different. You arn't just drafted at random. Every able bodied male under gos military training and has to take a "refresher course" every year. All of them are sent home after training with their weapons and gear. This creates for a make shift militia. There is very little ill feelings towards the process and with that in mind, it makes a very effective way to maintain neutrality. No sane person would come up against a willing militia a quarter the size of Switzerland's population.
I have to second the remark on Master of Orion 2. Me and some friends once tried a 4 way game against "Impossible" AI. We never did see the out come because it was darn near impossible to get everyone in game and if we did, clicking the turn button was like playing Russian Roulette.
Dual-DDR for the RAM. AltiVec wouldn't make sense in the x86 architecture. You can buy cheap SMP motherboards for only $50 more than a standard good motherboard. FireWire 800? Show me a hard drive that can even write your data at 400Mb/s or show me a piece of consumer hardware that NEEDS 800Mb/s today. There is no big hurry to adopt FireWire 800. Anyone know when all the Mac trolls showed up on Slashdot?
Wow, that is a crappy list. Trust me, there is no place in Florida on that list that deserves its place except Sarasota. West Palm Beach in the top 100? Somebody obviously hasn't been to West Palm in twenty years.
I have to agree with "a good prof is a good prof". Even in math classes, the experience can vary on the teacher. Sure, just reading the books and doing the assignments works but most text books are utter crap and many don't do a whole lot to explain what the math is good for. Most math you take HAS A PURPOSE. A good professor will explain these pruposes in math. A good professor will also only turn to the book if he feels it is well written in that part (or at all). Also, a good professor will help you outside of class. Not everybody is good at math. A lot of people have to take prep classes just to make it through College Algebrba. But, anybody can learn math. It is just a matter of work. If class doesn't allow for you to do enough said work, you are SOL without a good professor.
Not just online colleges are like that these days. The majority of schools are just there to sell you a degree. On the note of taking classes online though, most modern universities and even small community colleges offer many courses online. My school, Indian River Community College, does this. They are often actually harder than the normal classes here but IRCC is the exception rather than the rule from what I've seen.
.. but the strange thing is that the non-commercial distros have the highest quality! Go figure...
This may sound cliche but it is because the non-commercial guys are doing out of love. Money is a strong motivator but not as strong as simply enjoying what you do. In the non-commercial enviroment the developers get to pick what THEY want to do, not what the boss tells them too. That is also a weakness I suppose. Also, the non-commercial distros are more willing to have total psychos involved in the project. For example, I doubt a corporation like RedHat would higher a guy like Debian's X11 package manager/developer, Overfiend. Infact, I think there are laws against endangering your employees like that.
How could some barely deployed technology before responsible for the destruction of an industry? What, did Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, etc al just decide to make poor business choices out of fear? I'm really at a loss on this one.

I think stars as projectile weaponry would be a bit of a problem for anybody, regardless of matter/anti-matter.

60% That's a little low for the RIAA. Make it 117%. Actually charge the artist.
A tax on recordable media has been around in the States for years. I don't they ever managed to tax hard drives though.
No idea who the Reason Foundation is but the Objectivist Center would be a group following the philosophy of Ayn Rand.

Bingo.
Coal and diamonds are just forms of carbon.
Easy. Just use a picture of my history professor's ex-mother-in-law. They'll run screaming and never come back. No need to kill them.
