    I'm not sure the judge reads /.

    "they should be limiting themselves to law, and not trying to tell the board of education that they can't stand up for a group of people who want their kids to know that there are a lot of pretend scientists out there saying theory is better than fact."

    The board of education has a responsibility to provide an unbiased education to the citizens of it's district. Specifically targetting the theory of evolution because alot of parents believe god is the answer is biased. So yes, they should be telling the board of education that they can't stand up for a group of people who want it their way.

    There are alot of pretend scientists out there, luckily for most of us, they don't get into textbooks. Evolution happens. The theory involved is how, why and when. Evolution is as theoretical as the pavement that connects the ends of the road you live on.

    I think that what generally happens is a large organization develops some tech.

    Some company figures, "Hey! I could make a few bucks with this stuff!", and spawns the fun/silly stuff.

    The large organization that developed the tech to make it possible thinks "Awww... how cute, ok back to the science."

    Yes, you are very correct. Why would anybody pay more for something that has more capabilities?

    I also put faith in your assumption that since the screen size is post-fixed with the letters LCD that it's intention MUST BE for playing video. I mean what sort of idiot (read: pda makers) would put an LCD screen on something if it's not intended to play video!?!?

    I mean sure... you could use it to make a nice clear user interface with some nift-o-licous graphics, and checking out some photos (RTFA), but no MAN would come up with an idea like that... especially Mr. Kim.

    The vagina (from the Latin for "sheath" or "scabbard" ) is the tubular tract leading from the uterus to the exterior of the body in female mammals, or to the cloaca in female birds and some reptiles. Female insects and other invertebrates also have a vagina, which is the terminal part of the oviduct.

    For the purposes of anatomy, a vagina can also be any structure that serves as a sheath (or theca), as in, the vagina of the portal vein. Another example is the fibrous sheath around tendons, called a vagina fibrosa when solid or a vagina mucosa when it contains a fluid-filled cavity around the tendon.

    "not because it's fast or plays the latest games or what have you, but because it's a Mac, and it's cheap, and they want to try it out on a budget."

    But $800 isn't cheap for what you're getting compared to an Intel/AMD box. This is speaking at just the hardware level of course. There's a certain quality about the macs that make their users not care how much they have to spend to get one.

    Odd's are it doesn't transmit. I don't know what equipment would be required to transmit a satellite signal, but i'm sure it probably doesn't fit in your pocket.

  16. Re:"Privately owned" on FCC Indecency Rules Don't Apply to Satellite Radio · · Score: 0

    You could do that easily... Encrypt your broadcast signal and have the radio hardware decrypt them (do cell phones work similar to this?).

    But you're range is much shorter in radio so you have a smaller pool of people to get money from.

    not so much because of his education, more so of his future (post jail).

    A car theif isn't banned from using cars once he's out of jail. Why? Because a car is an integral part of society (in most places), and nearly required for having a job.

    It could be argued that a computer is an integral part of most jobs today. I'm not talking about the extremists claiming that he won't be able to use a watch or VCR or TV or something, but a general purpose PC.
