Just think, if they'd only thought to go with al-quada.mil instead, they'd be eligible for treatment as prisoners of war and all that Geneva Conventions stuff.
Are you selling something for which no one anywhere has any use whatsoever, and lying about it to get people to buy it anyway?
If you get people to tell you what they want, then figure out what they need, and then offer, from your product stock, that which comes closest to meeting that need, I don't think that you need be ashamed.
Perhaps so, but if you refer to the unit of measurement of electro-motive force named in honor of Alessandro Volta, it's Volts, capitalized, just as with Amperes and Ohms.
This information might be used by some nut as a how to manual for killing people. It should not have mentioned details such as water towers on top of buildings.
I don't think the existence of those tanks was any great secret, although I was under the impression that they were there strictly for fire-fighting.
And all this time I was almost certain that it was based on sound scientific research proving that 160 characters was the maximum amount of text a cell phone user could read before completely losing interest.
After 160 characters it's time to concentrate on your driving again.
I think that the rate at which the rolls scrolled was supposed to be fixed at whatever speed the owner sets the piano to operate, so that they can adjust the tempo within a certain range, just as a conductor or live player could do.
Musical notation doesn't quantitize time so much as it sets the duration of each note relative to all the others, although some scores include a little "number of beats per minute" suggestion.
The length of the slots on the roll need to be accurate relative to each other. Since you get the choice of 'note on' or 'note off', but no in between (but also the choice of how long the on or off period lasts), I'm not sure if that's more accurately described as digital or binary. Maybe it's neither because of the time element.
Those over the air channels aren't necessarily free to TW or other cable companies. Look up "must carry , must pay" to learn that the NAB is just as eager to screw you as the cable companies.
Back somewhere in the '70s or '80s one of their competitors advertised a digital multimeter, giving the specs/features and the price, and then adding "...and that's no fluke!"

With regard to trains running on time, are you sure that you aren't referring to Mussolini? I'm not saying that he had any more success in that area than Hitler, but it is he with whom the phrase "made the trains run on time" is most closely associated.

Your comment makes me wish I didn't waste my mod points on cheap hookers and coke.
You mean all this time I've been getting mod points (lately 15 at a time), I could have been using them for something worthwhile?!?
In Gitmo, no one can hear you uncover conspiracies.
Just wait right there and the nice men will be by with the van in just a moment to carry you to the black helicopter.
1. Any mod points cancelled by a post get redistributed.
Actually, I'm pretty sure that they do. Just not to the same person. :-)
(I figure that's why I occasionally get 10 or 15 instead of the usual 5, somebody else screwed up, and now I'm supposed to cover for them.)

Re: your sig-
"In free countries, how did the powerful become powerful? Have they done something you couldn't do?"
More like, stuff my conscience wouldn't let me do.
...and volts are still volts...

...which ran havoc...
Is that supposed to be a contraction of "ran amok and created havoc"?
They don't want to buy you, they want to buy your idea (assuming you aren't BSing us).
Once they have it, it (and anything remotely resembling any part of it) is theirs, not yours.
You'll just be an employee, at least for a while.
You need a damn fine lawyer or 12 to go over anything and everything this company wants you to sign or says that they will sign.
Are you guys even incorporated yet, or do you love living dangerously?
....Galileo...was insulting to anyone who disagreed with him and alienated many people who might otherwise have supported him.
So what was his Slashdot user name?
What you wrote appears to be short for "I am a pompous arrogant and ignorant wanker".
Are you quite sure that it wasn't "I am a pompous, arrogant, and ignorant wanker"? It's rare to see "arrogant" used as a noun. :-)

It is possible for an observation to be both accurate and, in some contexts, humorous (intentionally or otherwise) as well.
But I'll be damned if I'm going to tolerate weasels putting on business suits and stealing jobs from humans!
How about Geckos?

Hey, it's not for me, it's for Mom.
I thought maybe you were using a definition of digital music sufficiently broad to encompass player piano rolls.

Have you been at it long enough to know to say "jigahertz"?
Yes, but it's a broad baseband. :-)
So the latest just discovered Robert Ludlum work is "The Safeway List" ?
It is actually Mussolini with whom the phrase "made the trains run on time" is most closely associated.
