I guess this means we can't go around just touching anything without worrying about germs and virii... for our PDAs. Time to get the "win32\doorknob.a" update for my AV proggy.
Umm... gross weight refers to the maximum weight capacity specified by the manufacturer. The day-to-day weight is probably a fifteen hundred pounds less; even so, I'd like to see a Suburban do 14.5 quarters.
Going to the dentist hurts enough as it is. I'm just thinking about these people who got suckered into the try this contraption the first time.
Get a clue people. If the Springer show calls you up one day, do NOT answer the phone and immediately suspect everybody around you is gay, sleeping with your dog, and wants to be a pregnant stripper. "Experimental dental" is no different.
Ummm... projects need developers, developers are people, people need to live, living requires resources, resources include money, money comes from advertisers, advertisers have interests, interests are dictated by profits, profits buy ad-space, ads drive profits.
So what happens when the projects that require ad-revenue conflict with the advertisers interests? Who decides what ad-revenue to accept or reject. "Hi Mozilla, I'm from, Micro-, I mean, uhh... Macrosoft, and uh, we'll pay $100/click MORE than the next guy if you do(n't) implement such and such." This sort of dependency, IMHO, whether in open-source projects, the education system (a la Coca-Cola et al.), etc. is Not A Good Thing(tm). Better for the projects to find business models which are self-sustaining, or rely on non-partisan contributions.
I'm sure the issue is much more complicated than a simple dichotemy but in general I'd say no.
Japanese people are like carneys... "Small hands".
Everything in Japan is Mini-Me sized not only because it is cool but also because they can still use it. Ever try to see someone 6' tall try to dial on one of the newer ultra-microscopic cell phones? The market isn't demanding smaller-sized electronics because they'd be unusable.

I don't have to believe in your creation myth to know that killing people is unacceptable.
This is becoming off topic, and I normally don't respond to these types comments, and although I don't consider the above comment flamebait, I'd still like to know:
Why do you think killing people is unacceptable and how do you know that you are right?
The statement itself that everything is relative is an absolute statement and is therefore self defeating. I'd say thinking that killing is wrong apart from morals is self-centered and usually boils down to greed of some sort. Otherwise what does it matter what you think is right or wrong?
A bunch of people have already expressed that they like this question, but I'm different in that I really like this question.
I think that if Google shutdown (either by massive pigeon die-offs from contracting a buffer overflow exploit in the Avian Carrier Transmission Protocol or copyright violations of some sort) I would be utterly lost and helpless. It's probably my own fault for not exploring alternatives, but in all fairness, how many people have actually had the need to look into alternatives? I consider it my personal index/table of contents to the Internet.
Surfing is fine as a recreational use of the Internet, but to use it as a timely resource of information a centralized index is essential.
Of course, having more than one index lessens the "single-point of failure" risk but begs the question - "Who will become the indexer to index the indicies that are indexing the Internet?"
Although the company doesn't break out its sales of DVD, Circuit City officials said the entertainment software category--which includes music, movies and videogames--accounted for 11% of the chain's first-quarter revenue of $3.05 billion. Total revenue was up 14% in the first quarter compared to the 2001 period.

I agree with the stance that free press is unreliable just as much as a state-run press. Both have objectives and agendas.
Example 1. In Canada one company owns most of the province-wide dailys. I haven't looked that much into the company, but you can probably guess the interests of the company is reflected in the content and perspective of the stories they run. There have been many times when a major detail or headline was incorrectly reported (often implying someone of something), only to have that oversight corrected in a tiny 2 x 1 box on the last page of the classifieds section. Well, the damage has already been done, the misinformation has already been accepted, and the newspaper cannot be held accountable because they did infact print a correction. The question is, was the misprint a genuine mistake, or intentionally crafted?
Example 2. CNN is one of the only American news stations we get up here (aside from prime-time CBS, NBC, ABC, which use CNN for a source frequently). Ok, we get MSNBC too (please). But talk about blowing reason and perspective out of the water. For a month following September 11 CNN was a place to be force fed. By who? For what end?
People build their lives around the news. They implicitly rely on the news to inform them and to help shape their attitudes towards various issues. My view is that there is no independent free press. Ultimately neither form of press is better than the other. Fabrication of facts is just the same as the intentional manipulation of them.
Of course the mere act of reporting an event can be deemed an intentional manipulation however unintentional. And fabrication or misleading done by an agency of the state that opposes what we consider to be basic human rights is bad. But it still makes you think.
I read the Vancouver Sun and (usually) take it at face value. I watch CNN. Time-to-time I check out the BBC and even the North Korean state-run press. But if you really think about it, it's about picking your own poison.
What will it be called, Super Special Edition? Speciai Edition Pro? 32-Bit Special Edition Turbo?
Super Turbo Championship Edition II Alpha.
Rumors are that if you hit the 1UP button repeatedly, you'll be able to switch characters, Luke will be able to do Hadoken Force(TM) fireballs that travel in sine-waves across the screen at varying speeds, Chewy will be able to scroll upwards many screens before coming down with a 360 piledriver, and Leia will finally be able to kill off Stormtroopers with a single Super Upsidedown Spinning-on-Head kick.
I was watching the Avs vs. Sharks game last night on CBC during the 3rd period when the camera started to shake slightly. The commentators (being Canadian) were going off all excited about how they had just sat through an earthquake and noted how completely indifferent the fans were as if they didn't even notice it.

I poke a pencil into my eraser, draw a circle around it, and then open the blinds. Isn't that how all you guys do it too?
