. As for the legal question of whether the president can afford to put things in writing that will likely be exposed by courts and archivists later
Shouldn't we encourage the president to be doing anything that will make it easier for courts to know what he's up to? If the courts are interested in what's on his Blackberry, it means he's suspected of something serious, and we as citizens should want to make sure the court gets all the information about it as they can.
Actually, yes, I would say it does matter. Even more than if you're already a customer. The Linux/Mac users are the people they want to get. Most of the Windows users will upgrade, eventually. They may be able to skip Vista entirely, but when they need to replace machines and their choices are Windows 7 or switching to Mac or Linux, they'll get Windows 7. So if Microsoft knows they have a number of Ubuntu users interested in Windows 7, they need to know what attracted them and what they need to do to close that sale.
As long as the class requires you to pay for your own books, notebooks and pens, I think even the poorest student can afford to pay $1 to print a 30 page report.
I even had a teacher who made us buy way overpriced "blue books" (A cover made of blue paper with sheets of standard lined notebook paper stapled inside) to take our tests in. I didn't object to the cost as much as the idea that the rest of my notebook paper wasn't good enough for him
I didn't see "I, Robot", though I did see some robots punching Will Smith in the previews. To maintain my sanity I have constructed my own version of the movie in my head, which I have convinced myself is the true plot.
The big secret of the movie is that Will Smith's character is himself a robot, he just doesn't know it. Thus, the other robots are able to injure him. This is the only logical explanation.
No, some Fans of Tolkien hated every minute. Some Fans of Tolkien recognized the difficulty of shooting the movie, and were happy with what they got on the whole (though most have their lists of parts that bug them)
Foundation just doesn't seem ripe for Motion-Picture fodder without changing the story beyond recognition. The first book is just a loosley connected book of short stories, without a single protagonist to tie them together. I'll bet we'll see something like I, Robot, where they shoot a different movie and just title it "Foundation"
Didn't anyone back up this database so it could be put back up if something happened to the original hosters? Anyway, if they were planning on stopping support, it would have been nice for them to have made some notice of it beforehand so that someone else could take it up. Something as simple as a database should be easy enough for someone else to volunteer to host.
The security dialog problem is overrated. They only pop up when you'd expect them to pop up. When you're installing things or modifying system wide-settings. Mac OS and Gnome/KDE will do the same thing. The only difference is that Vista doesn't make you reenter your password, it just alerts you that something's up.
For the most part, the stories aren't even that interesting. Wikipedia... that one's obvious. Windows and Mac OS, the 7th and 10th release. Android... well they bought a company called Android, no discussion of where THEY picked the name. Thinkpad, it just sounded good... Only mildly interesting one was the iPod.
Around here, they've removed the tabs that let you start the gas going and walk away. So, unless you go for full service, you're stuck standing by your gas tank, squeezing the lever on the nozel. There's no way to check anything, unless you've got a buddy with you.

If he's got email, he's got all he needs to stay in touch with friends and family.

You have the added benefit of that warm feeling knowing the poor executives will be getting a better bonus.

I didn't realize that was just Mac users.
I know! Let's recreate the windows registry, but this time better!. Yawn.
Didn't Gnome already do that? (Well, not sure about the better part)
Correct. If what she did was not illegal under current laws, she should not be prosecuted for it.

The ending was way too long as it is. I would have liked to see The Scouring of the Shire too, but not without splitting off a 4th movie.

Did I err?
And Arnold is busy being the governor, so I think we're safe.
A new Buck Rogers? If it doesn't have Erin Gray in spandex, I don't want it.
Was that why I never go bullied in school, because I was an actual nerd not just a wannabe?
Because you think the work you've already done might be useful to someone else.

No, the government will use the money to reward the executives of banks for doing such a great job.

That's better than I'd have expected. I'd assume everything just got "lost in the mail." Take it up with the post office.
Minesweeper's overrated, Skifree was the real thing.
