the immunity to the negative effects of LDH cholesterol developed in a single man in Italy (creating descendants among whom heart disease and strokes are vanishingly shockingly rare).
Can someone provide a reference for this? Googling for "LDH cholesterol Italy" doesn't turn up anything useful.
Cholesterol is either LDL or HDL, so I believe the parent is referring to the Milano mutation [apoA-I(Milano) for the science geeks] that renders the person resistant to HDL deficiencies. Pick your poison for more reading:
While it would be nice to have an unfiltered and free system, any time you would search for any celebrity, you'd end up with 7,000 search suggestions that you wouldn't want your boss to see and none that you would want unless you actually wanted to see them and were specifically searching for them, in which case you don't need a suggestion to help you out.
"Crack", on the other hand, is a word that has both safe (crack of the bat, wisecrack, a crack reporter, etc.) and unsafe (software crack, crack cocaine) suggestions; since you can't just ban the word, you would have to filter out based on what the person might be looking for, which is presumably where Google's impossibility statement comes in.
Nothing appears to link bistbuy.com (if it ever was a valid destination) to Google.
It's doubtful anything would. Bist sounds like Best, but it's highly unlikely to be a typo (the keys are too far apart). It's really talking about sites like Nest Buy or Beat Buy.
While you were talking about people not caring about the elderly...what about the elderly who can no longer vacuum?...
That's just cruel! You want to give a robot to the elderly? Robots are already everywhere, and they eat old people's medicine for fuel. And when they grab you with those metal claws, you can't break free, because they're made of metal and robots are strong.
It means that every person can mess up the CSS and HTML and destroy the look and feel of the site.
Aesthetics aside, the point of MySpace isn't to have a site with millions of users, it's to have a millions of sites linked to each other by users and friends. Your criticism is analogous to criticizing the personal sites on university servers for not having a consistent look and feel.
If its *truely* about child porn and nothing else, insert a provision into the law that any and all data requested as part of a child porn investigation cannot be used in any other investigation.
If information this broad and sweeping is available to anyone, it will get out to the public, no matter what provisions are included. There is always a loophole in any law. Maybe through the war on terror, maybe anonymously leaked for political reasons, or maybe someone in the oversight agency will have an argument with someone in their neighborhood and see what they've been browsing and/or buying on-line for blackmail.
The simple truth is no individual can be trusted with this information and, therefore, no government can be allowed to collect it.
3) playing a download while the entire file is saved to disk (regardless of how much is actually viewed?)
4) caching downloads (and/or partial downloads) on disk instead of asking the server again
So, why are they asking for a cut of iTMS? iTMS doesn't allow for the playing of songs or movies during download (the files are grayed out, probably due to DRM issues). And, if you've ever had a video download hang or crash, you'd know that the option for retrieving incomplete downloads involves first connecting to the iTMS. So neither 3 nor 4 actually apply to the business model they want to take money from.
The problem with your analogy is that's a situation in which eventually one copy will be made among the many, many other copies. In a wiki, you need 10,000 monkeys with 10,000 keyboards to write Shakespeare on the same piece of paper.
I don't see anything in this that precludes pre-loading of OS's other than Windows. They just need to be properly licenced.
The question becomes the wording of the contracts with Microsoft. Is exclusivity a prerequisite for getting an OEM discount? Selling blank machines is probably allowable regardless of the nature of the contract, but selling a competitor's product is another matter altogether.
My internet browser heard us saying the word Fry and it found a movie about Philip J. Fry for us. It also opened my calendar to Friday and ordered me some french fries.

Wow! What a coincidence! Just yesterday I was posting about how pundits and prognosticators never really qualify their predictions with any kind of time-line so that the predictions can extend into the distant future where they'll either be proven right or no one will care.
Why does anyone pay attention to Cringley? I mean, do any of these 'industry pundits' ever have to keep track of the accuracy of their 'predictions'?
But, you see, there are no false predictions, only those that have not come true yet. Here's the relevant text from the NYT:
My bet is that once Apple has Windows Vista running smoothly on its operating system and helping its business sales, the company will try a more profitable avenue: marketing a version of OS X able to run on regular PC's that now use Windows.
Time line? A bit vague, to be generous. "I, Cringley" gives a slightly more definite time-point (Apple "settles" on 64-bit processors), but it's still vague enough (does "settles" mean "announced", "launched products with", "no longer has any products not"?) to give an out and extend the prediction to the point no one cares, because it's no longer relevant.
Personally, I would go to a FBI field office and ask them, tell them what you want to do, and unless you find an ass they'll probabbly help you (as it can help them).
Good suggestion. I would just like to add that most colleges, including the poster's, also have career counselors who can give guidance on what programs are good or not. They have various stacks of guides and ratings that can be more informative than a simple Google search.
OT: UMass has great chemistry! (Former Lederle dweller, not sure if that's still the departmental motto, but it sounds good.)
I could envision a pricing model that based the price of the songs on the number of plays it was receiving from its purchasers.
I don't want to see this happening, but it seems consistent along the line of what the music industry has been moving towards.
Get dragged on-line due to piracy
Switch the majority on-line to legal downloading with minimal DRM and the ability to buy cheap singles (iTMS)
Target the evil pirates to squash the appeal of downloading and flood with fake files to eliminate the ease of downloading
Introduce rent to own systems for low prices, find ideal price point
Raise the price of the cheap singles while keeping the less popular ones about the same cost (current step)
The pay-to-own model becomes less popular, due to the relative cost of buying versus renting
When everyone is renting music legally on-line, start withholding singles and albums until after the CD has been available for a while (see Shakira's new song)
Double profit!
Fans will buy the CD as soon as it comes out, since downloading lags behind. But when they can't rip from the CD, they'll buy the on-line version as well. No matter how mad they get, they can't cancel a renting service without losing their entire library.
If Google allows variable price marketing, they'll suck out iTunes (since they can advertise as having MP3s as cheap as XX cents) before self-destructing when all the labels demand more money and higher prices. Then rent-to-own will become more popular and we move towards double purchasing.

They should stop filtering on the word "porn"

I think it's telling the Creative Nomad navigation referred to has been renamed the 'Zen Patent'
Calling the patent "Creative" would be misleading.
Skull and crossed bones.
Cool! Pirate treasure!
Go kiss a duck.
Actually, given that Red Sox fans (myself included) are everywhere, the best advice would simply be "Duck."
Beat Buy. Sorry. Forgot the HREF part.

I'm not interested in a series whose name is an anagram of "I C A CRAP!"
That may be a valid point, but I can't trust any comments by One Butch Orgy.
What if they're trying to offer free, open wireless access?
Then they're communists and should be thrown in jail.

No longer were people satisfied with really playing sports, they play sports games. Now, we just watch other people play sports games...
Wait until we're watching people playing video games of people playing sports games. Oh, you think I'm kidding?
Only if we can integrate candy and the Martin Luther King Jr. day.. somehow....

Wait, Laser pointers grow in gardens?? THAT, is a plant I would grow.
Do not look directly at garden with remaining eye.
Perhaps they've discover this thing called "Real Life".
Ah, yes, Real Life... Great on-line comic.
