Correct. In NY the left lane is reserved for old men in Buicks who were speed demons when they learned to drive 60 years ago - when driving in the left while not passing was prohibited - but haven't realized they they are doing 60 in a 65 while everybody else is doing 80.
A quick story. I almost killed a cop. The idiot decided to pull the turn-on-the-lights-to-run-a-red-light trick without bother to pay enough attention to his surroundings to realize that due to some foliage he could not see if anybody was coming down the intersecting street. I saw him and slammed on my brakes. Lucky for him, I was going under the speed limit, I had new tires and new brakes, the road was dry, and I put the pedal down fast and hard enough that the ABS brought me to a stop about a foot from his door. I'm not sure if he was embarrassed because he knew he just pulled a very bone-headed move or because he peed his pants.
There is a traffic light there for a reason, moron.
XSLT and CSS server different purposes. You use XSLT to get from your own XML format to HTML, and the HTML links a CSS stylesheet. How exactly do you propose that XSLT takes over CSS's job? Do you want to put all the presentation control back into HTML?
It is like spam. Nobody needs to buy the things advertised in spam. Some idiots just need to think somebody will buy the things advertised in spam. The suits at the ??AA just need to think that copy protection will work.
"As home users we may have an ethical right to total root access to our personal systems."
You are right up there with the GNU folk when they say "To release a non-free program is always ethically tainted." Which ethics demand that other people consult you and design their product to your wants before offering it for sale when you may not even buy it?
Simple. Have the outgoing cables come out of the top and connect to a patch bay, so the little oil that capillary action's itself through the cable will gravity itself right back down the outside.
Not if you want coverage outside of large cities (50k+) you can't. I live in a town of about 1000 people. Verizon is the only cell provider that gets coverage here. My parents live a town of 25k. Verizon is the only one who covers the whole town.
It amazes me that multiple providers can provide service to small towns in India, but not in the US.
My guy never wins. NEVER. I'm zero for fifty or so.
I would be zero for sixty, but I couldn't vote in one election because, despite several properly made requests, I was never sent my absentee ballot; and I couldn't vote in another election because I had moved across county lines fewer than 30 days before the election and could no register to vote in my new county.
I feel a bit disenfranchised.
I must be cursed. I'll be sure to vote for Hillary.
Why does Linux need NTFS support? I have used Linux's NTFS read support to back up dead Windows machines, but have never needed to write it. What would you use write support for?

Slashdot is cherry-picking articles purely for agreeing with its editorial views, rather than any instrinsic merit.
Nope. Slashdot is picking articles that will generate the most page views, which will generate the most advertising revenue. Welcome to a capitalistic world.

There is also the equally dangerous DWOOSP, or Driving With Out Of State Plates.

"The problem comes when proprietary software tries to prevent you from controlling what your machine does. . ."
You bought and installed the proprietary software willingly. If you don't like what it does, don't buy it and install it.
If the software in question says it does one thing and does another, that is a whole different issue of lying and false advertising.
The two party system is not the problem, it is a symptom. Ignorant and apathetic voters and the problem.

Pidgin _is_ a noun.
You do realize that if AOL goes of and dies then AIM will stop working, right?
It's not at all clear to me why the free market [in the form of PRICING] can't take care of this stuff naturally.
Because the consumers are ignorant.

So it doesn't really work in Firefox. It works in Firefox with a specific Microsoft plugin.
How is it that Firefox is supported on Windows but not other platforms? Can Firefox on Windows use ActiveX?
Ah, the days when we thought people could all work together to make the world a better place.
Now we know that the only way to dispose of a corrupt government from the inside is with a small minority of very angry people with guns.
Windows Vista: Hey, I thought that guy was dead.
Mac OS X: No no, that was OS/2 that died. Remember? You got his kidneys.
* Government has access to all Americans' financial transactions
Remember SWIFT? The Government has access to _everyone's_ financial transactions.

They would ban any such system that let people decide what got sent. Mostly because people would warn others about traffic cops, decreasing revenue.
Get a phone with an audio out, plug it into your soundboard/computer, and call him up.
Like Bill Gates. Or Darth Vader.
