For example, the word algebra, which was taken from an Arabic book on mathematics: Hisãb al-jabr w'al-muqãbala. Al-jabr was corrupted into that word every middle school child knows and loathes, algebra. And yet, no signs of trying to get rid of it.
Of course, you do have a point. If GWB knew what algebra was, he'd probably be trying to get it replaced. ("Mathermaticating," perhaps?)

And now the most obvious question: What were you smoking when you were compelled to buy an Element?
I went up to UCI for a Model United Nations trip, and brought the iBook. I found an unprotected 802.11b network, and downloaded as much porn as I possibly could off a guy on IRC.
Until the security guard lady came up and asked what I was doing. =/
Why would you want to buy a 9700 for $400 now when any other Radeon or GeForce4 will give you awesome performance? No, you can't tell the difference between 200fps and 210fps.
And when the games that come out that will emphasize the difference between the two (which is when you'll really want one anyway), the price of a 9700 or similar card will be half what it is today.
I did this on a recent plane trip. I did get some suspicious looks, especially when the 6-minute limit on the demo expired and my 747 spiralled downward into the ground. The people around me sure didn't appreciate it. =]

I don't think you have any right to be telling someone you don't know what's morally right or wrong. Stop trolling and forcing your skewed morals on other people. If you "share" something over p2p, people are losing money. Are they faceless megacorporations? Yes. But so is 7-11. The whole basis of capitalism revolves around people paying for what they want. If it costs too much, no one will buy it. If you want it enough to download it, you should pay for it.
Don't try and tell me it's not stealing, because that's BS. If people download it and then buy the item, of course it's legitimate. But from all of the examples I've seen with my friends doing it, they download it and don't think twice.
Who wants to bet that CD sales will go down even further?
I wonder what scapegoat they'll find then. Once people have had a taste of the freedom that online file trading offers (making sure the latest CD *cough*18*cough* isn't crap), they're not going to want to back.
I have to credit the lawmakers though. Their ideas get more and more creative (though less and less effective).
Is that really close enough to provide a decent signal? And more importantly (too me, anyway) is there anyway this could be rigged up to provide wireless internet access, 802.11b or otherwise?
The article also says that 70 balloons are released every two days. I have wonder if 70 balloons is really going to cover all of America like they hope it will.

I think you mean "Try to think different (like Apple)."

Maybe we'd take you more seriously in the future if you learned how to spell grammar.
Aboot image, eh?
This is because they know you use Linux and don't have the money to afford anything their advertisers are selling.
Cheap hippies.
This sounds absolutely nothing like Rama.
Probably not. Fujitsu doesn't sell hard drives anymore, no point in bashing a brand that won't provide any future competition...
Put a period (.) in front of the filename.
Just like the metric system, right?
This is quite possibly the most contrived example ever.
You could accomplish the same thing in classic Mac OS with an alias, the Mac term for a soft link.
Words cannot adequately describe my facial expression right now. I just got hit square in the face with stupidity.
Since when is Tang a life-enhancing product?
I swear if I develop cancer it's the Tang's fault.

Damn my 56k.

It also needs a 'My Head Just Exploded from the Stupidity' option.

But I was not. It's only wrong to cause someone to lose money if you don't get what was being traded in exchange for the money.
Downloading something and not paying for it? You get the content and they lose out.
Tell a friend not to buy something? The company loses money, but the friend doesn't get the content either.
