the one thing that America has always claimed that set it apart from other countries is that it is founded on principle.
<trebek>Oooh, sorry! "What is France?" was the answer you were looking for. France, of course, with Rousseau, Montaigne, and the "Declaration of Human Rights."</trebek>
Whether or not that is the correct thing to do is something I'll have to be educated on.
It isn't.
Or more precisely, it isn't the common practice, so to habitual readers it's distracting and makes us wonder whether we're reading something other than a simply parenthetical remark. Just FYI.
I'm old enough to remember when college physics was strictly a sophomore course with calculus as a co-requisite. Reason being that a year of college level math was required prior to attempting calculus. Nowadays, high schools are offering pre-calc and even calculus, so there is at least some improvement, at least in some areas.
So, how old are you? I graduated high school in 1985; I and loads of other New York State residents took the Advanced Placement calculus exam, which had been being given for years.
You can't see the same thing more than once; if you see two things, they must be different things.
I would have thought the conclusion to be drawn from that premise would be: "if you think you see the same thing now that you saw a moment ago, you're wrong; there are really two things."
I think you're too down on autorelease. Autorelease uses the tug-pull algorithm to determine when an object should be stroked. Unfortunately, it does have messy side effects.
It seems from a business standpoint that the way you go is get legislation passed requiring all hardware be DRM, once you can say "we have the hardware available and we need this law to FIGHT THE TERRORISTS!" . . . um, I mean "to protect our vital bodily fluids"...
Do you realize that DRM is the most monstrously
conceived and dangerous communist plot we have ever had to face?
Good ones. But nothing beats the chilling psychodrama of...
Sinistar
And its story is a universal triumph of the human spirit. In the end, aren't we all ultimately collecting crystals in an asteroid field, in a vain effort to stop a giant self-assembling head from coming to life? "Run... RUN!" indeed.
[Michael] hates his own identity, you see, and he thinks that makes him a trans-sexual.
But his pathology is a thousand times more savage and more terrifying.
To change the topic entirely, did anyone else think the Michael Jackson South Park episode was kind of lame?
I'm no constitutional scholar, but shouldn't the issue of whether participants have a right of privacy in this case be dependent on whether they have a reasonable expectation of privacy? It seems at least arguable that they don't.
More fun with food labels: total carbs are listed by amount and RDA, but no RDA is given for one of the major components, sugars. (How good would a can of Coke look if it said "Sugars - 175%"?)
Also, let's not forget "Protein" which has an RDA, which conveniently it isn't mandatory to list (your "Hungry Man XXL Beefocalypse Now" dinner isn't required to say "Protein - 850%").
On a related note, you've gotta figure the beef and other meat industries are falling over themselves to support the popularity of "Atkins"-like diet plans. Sigh.
ObOnTopic: the same industry-friendly shenanigans would surely take place if big software manufacturers "voluntarily" adopted anything like this proposal.

You sound upset. Maybe you need to make peace with your innerHTML.
You probably mean "du jour."

No offense, but what planet are you on?

We'll know that geek culture is being "mainstreamed" when Bravo (vel sim.) creates a new make-over series: "Geek Eye for the Cool Guy."

I can't answer for the gentleman or lady, but "card sharp" was the original phrase, later corrupted into "card shark."
