  1. Re:'Inflammatory' indeed. on EFF Has Outlived Its Usefulness? · · Score: 1

    Are you aware of someone being prosecuted for featuring a nativity scene on private property? Do you have a cite?

    I'm also not sure how the ACLU's neutrality on gun control makes it any less laudable for the work it does do.

  2. Re:Documentary? on Michael Moore Seeks TV Airing of Fahrenheit 9/11 · · Score: 1

    Yes, but "op-ed" and "documentary" aren't mutually exclusive. You can have documentaries that are both ("Outfoxed," or "Waco: The Rules of Engagement") or documentaries that aren't op-eds ("Winged Migration.")

  3. Re:Documentary? on Michael Moore Seeks TV Airing of Fahrenheit 9/11 · · Score: 1

    Nonsense. Documentaries, even and especially the best ones, are full of opinions. Check out Errol Morris' "The Thin Blue Line," or Murrow's "Harvest of Shame." If you want to redefine "documentary" such that it means "films with no subjective judgments," then go ahead. But you can't expect people who know something about documentaries to go along with you.

  4. Re:For those who don't want to read the story: on "A Sound of Thunder" Movie This Summer · · Score: 1

    Ah, but there Bradbury's ahead of you. The dinosaur is about to die; it's microseconds away from the tar pit when the hunters do the shooting. The idea is that the dinosaur's causal chain is over, anyway, and the hunters are just getting in some no-cost target practice. The repercussions of gunshots in the primeval forest are not handled. You could complain about that, if you weren't worried that you might be accused of being no fun.

  5. Re:The 89 is banned as well dude... on TI-84 Plus Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    I haven't checked the official tests, but the TI site says: "The TI-89 is allowed for use on the AP* Calculus, AP Statistics, AP Physics, AP Chemistry, PSAT/NMSQT, SAT I, SAT II Math IC & IIC." I apologize if I'm passing on inaccurate information.

  6. Re:Backwards development? on TI-84 Plus Released · · Score: 1

    The 89 can also do symbolic integration and differentiation; it's essentially the same thing as the 92+, but without the oversized keyboard and screen. The 89 is allowed, however, on SAT tests and the like, while the 92 and Voyage series aren't. It's slightly (okay, a lot) easier to program a 92, of course, but one can always transfer programs from a PC with a cable.

    You're not the only person who wanted to start that group. The person who did start it is David Duke. Details here. That's good company you're in.

  9. Re:Mimac on Filesharing Traffic Drops After RIAA Threats · · Score: 1

    You're probably referring to mlmac, which is a GUI wrapper around mlnet (formerly mldonkey). Between this, the BitTorrent client, Limewire and the Mac Direct Connect client, Mac users are well served on almost all of the major networks.

  10. Re:Also Revealed: iCal, ScreenSaver slideshows on Apple to Unveil .Mac Today · · Score: 1

    Since it works with AOL Instant Messenger accounts, which are available free, it sounds like iChat will still be available to non .Mac users.

    You've got .name if you want an individual domain.
