Capitol Punishment - Sitting at the witness table in a Senate hearing room, in front of the cameras, listening to Ted Stevens lecture you about the Internets Tubes. You are not allowed to laugh.
A good example of 'not knowing what the you're talking about' thinking, actually.
Most municipalities would really rather you didn't dispose of used cooking oil in this fashion, because it screws up wastewater treatment plants, and, in the end, produces a solid waste that's expensive to dispose of.
Actually, if you are to believe Ken Abilek, and he should know, they were scary GOOD at biology. Unfortunately, they were making things like souped-up ebola instead of three-assed monkeys.
Sigh. Just smart enough to bleat the words, not smart enough to actually think about them.
Yes, using electricity may involve burning coal. However it involves burning coal at non-moving, controllable locations where you can use relatively expensive scrubber technology and such to minimize pollution, instead of dispersing your emissions in millions of little boxes farting emissions out their backsides.
And a big bonus, you don't have to store coal byproducts for 10,000 years.
The bottom line is that the law means something or it doesn't. The decision may not have been the one most sysadmins (or even users) hoped for (and God knows it's not the one I would have wanted), but it was decided within the rules of the law and in accordance of the law as written now. I would hate to think that a judge would make a decision based on what his friends and neighbors might think. This is supposed to be a country of laws. Should it ever not be, that would be a very bad thing.
This is precisely what happens when you elect judges.
IN this case, the action was taken by a federal judge, who are appointed, not elected, but many state judges have to run for office.
In Ohio, they've found a state judge who finds infavor of campaign contributors 90% of the time, and one decision by the state Supreme Court that was split 4-3, exactly along the lines of donation by the two parties in the lawsuit. (one side contributed to the four, the other to the three)
Justice isn't only not blind in Ohio, hell, it's for rent.
Yet here it is, DECADES after Mac users have been bragging on this, and, hey, still nothing...You know, I thnk these mythical hackers are working in Duke Nukem time...
"Biggest trackpad gripe: typing a bunch of text, then accidentally swiping your palm--which because of the hardware designer's idiocy naturally rests directly on the trackpad--which causes a bunch of text to be selected. Of course, you're in a typing frenzy, and it happens so quickly that you continue typing, overwriting all of that (unhelpfully) selected text."
Or just click on 'Ignore trackpad input while typing' in the OS X trackpad preferences. Honestly. I'm pretty sure my 1994-era Powerbook 540 has that choice...
"Name one other legal music service that will work with iPod."
MP3tunes.com Etunes.com
Both offer MP3 downloads, work just fine with my iPod.
Oddly enough, so do all my CD's...
So if you buy an iPod you get your music from those sources. If you want some other MP3 Player, you go to all the other online music services, which offer largely the same catalogs that iTunes does.
Yes. Lots of them. WWII vets are dying in large numbers, Korean War vets likewise. Soon all the Boomers who went to 'Nam will be as well...these are millions of men, a large number of whom may ask for a bugler at theior funeral.
The Army long long ago stopped training *actual* buglers, hence, CD's and this gadget.

Some will fine you if they catch you doing this.

Well, to be precise, he voted against it before he voted FOR it...he rolled over like a good little lapdog in the end.

This is a federal court judge, they're appointed for life.

And before you go praising how wunnerful it is to vote for judges, you might look at this http://www.columbusdispatch.com/news-story.php?st
One judge found for the sides that gave him campaign money 91% of the time. That's a despicable record.
Well, until Apple releases their widesceen format iPod.
All of this hoopla from the hoopleheads makes the idiotic presumption that Apple is going to stand still, and Microsoft wins 'because they're big'.

Really? They're snatched away to be interrogated for YEARS without outside contact? Held in solitary for months?
Some of which was Lucas parts...having worked on numerous 60's Fiats and Moto Guzzis.
Did you know that Lucas once made Vaccuum cleaners? Yep, only Lucas electric device ever that didn't suck.

That's the one I have at work, it's great, and has stood up quite well.
At home I have the original Balans Variable; found at a swap meet for $25. I love it.
Yeah that lightening is dangerous, dangerous stuff...it killed Karen Carpenter...
You're equally locked in with Plays For Sure: that ONLY works with Windows.
"need to repair permissions after each update (why macs need this?)..."
o nso ns_voodoo
They don't. 5 current Macs, all running OSX since 10.1.5, I have NEVER had any problem that was fixable by "repairing permissions"
It's a placebo.

Apple does not state *anywhere* in their documentation that repairing permissions is required or even desireable afer updates.
Damn near what John Dean said in an interview the other day...
