That is to say that the outcomes would be independent. I don't want to start a flame war, mostly because there are undoubtedly several in this thread already, but I'd be willing to gather that more intelligent and informed voters would vote differently from unintelligent, uninformed voters. Unfortunately, all of the examples I'm able to come up with are biased, so I don't feel as if I should really state them, which also goes along with the idea of: If you don't know what the fuck is going on, get the hell out of the way
But the only thing though, is that so much of the R&D is amortized into the value of the patent that the remainder of R&D is miniscule. When you see companies like Pfizer's quarterly profits, that's already taking R&D into account, and they are rediculously quarterly profits, might I add.
Well, seeing what his title is, I'd be surprised if he's not one of them.
At least people who play that much golf die of causes that we were ment to die of, like skin cancer. People addicted to things like WoW suffer the rest of their short lives with Carpal-tunnel syndrome, poor souls
Your average user doesn't have the time, the energy or the inclination to deal with uncertainty.
Your average user is someone who buys a computer and only adds very basic things such as a monitor, speakers, digital camera, and printer. If I recall properly, all of those work well with Linux, or at least as good as with Windows. Your average user never opens the computer case. Hell, they probably don't know how because they've never tried before.
Set up a stable system with Linux preloaded and people will treat it just as they would any other computer: keep on adding shit to it that runs in the background until it bogs down, then buy a new one.
which ment that the Firefox team could not accept it, as it was worth more than the total value of gifts per year they can receive from their clients, err, I mean competition....
Aisle 5, between the Dayquill and Nyquill. You might want to open up a bank account there too, I hear that they're planning on being able to cash cheques sometime soon.
...this just goes to show how out of touch politicians are from reality.
On a side-note:
Can we have something go on like for March Madness and have an actual prize, or is that now illegal because of the online gambling law passed by Bush & Co?
I remember installing FC4, and even though I didn't have it format my hard drive as everything was established earlier, FC4's installer still decided to re-write my partition table in a format that Partition Magic didn't like.
Granted, they're targeted toward different uses, but the Macbook line appears very inexpensive compared to a ThinkPad X60s with selections as close as I could find:
ThinkPad X60s: $2,070.00, and that's with Windows XP Home, Office, or any extended protection, service, or warranties.
You don't even have to go very far with this: just give them "user" accounts. Windows comes with three main user groups built-in: administrators, power users, users. Unless someone has messed things up, "users" shouldn't be able to install things or mess with the actual system.
There are far more user settings than just Admin, Power User, and User.
I'd personally use Black Ice, but if you'd rather not, why not just have the computer automatically boot into the Guest profile, then set as many restrictions on it as possible? I'm not loaded on Windows right now, and I'd rather not reboot, but I do believe that Windows's Administrative Tools found in the Control Panel work fairly well. They work a hell of a lot better than their generic Users control page that's found in the Windows XP control panel layout.
It's like, if you ever see a cool movie and you bring a friend to see it who hadn't seen the movie yet, right? It's that shared experience, that makes co-op so great.
I don't know if that's something you want to say.... The first time I watched Pirates of the Carribean 2, my friend (who saw it once before watching it with me) almost fell asleep. A month or two later I saw it again with a friend that never saw the movie and I nearly fell asleep.
Don't get me wrong, Pirates 2 is a great movie, but I would've tried to use another analogy, like eating a meal you really liked a second time.
My university uses a calendar system by Oracle and it's a real pain in the ass. The only way to have it sync with 3rd party applications is to use Oracle's plugin for Office. Calendar systems are something that most people don't use (mostly students), but to people that do use them (think faculty and organized students,) they are indispensable. Have it be based on something that can be used by Outlook iCal, and Sunbird. Also make sure that it can be used as a module through Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, and Opera.
WebDAV and CalDAV are also great protocols that should not be forgotten.
Use Maxima. It's comparable to Matlab and Maple, but opensourced. Granted, yes, you're with a University, so you probably have some money, but jumping through the hoops can be a pain in the ass when you want money.
I see this as similar to music radio stations, where you get free music, but there's advertising that comes with it, and you can't avoid hearing the ads.
That's where your idea breaks down. Fortunately for me, I have Minnesota Public Radio. Outside of the two-week pledge sprint, there are virtually no commercials. Instead, all you pretty much hear is music, with the DJ's occasionally saying who was in the last set.
For the two-week pledge sprint, their calls for donations are just as common as commercial radio stations' stations, so I have the option of becoming a little annoyed, or listen to those CDs I have laying around somewhere. Hell, I'll probably donate to MPR once I am out of school and actually have money in my bank account.
Is it just me, or are kids able to develop team building, goal setting, practice in patience, et al without video games? Call me crazy, but I would imagine that video games can further hinder children's attention spans and patience much like TV can. What happened to things like sports, such as football, the other football, baseball, cricket, basketball, and all of that? What happened to activities like snowball fights, snow fort contests, and backyard games?
Not to be a troll, but honestly, I'm failing to see how video games would be better for children than hands-on activities, especially when we're concerned about the growing rate of Type 2 diabetes and obesity. And no, I don't think DDR is the solution to that.

And since we're running out of fish to eat said scrubbers in the ocean, perhaps we can expect to actually have a sea of green!
No, it's just hidden somewhere in the TPS reports, didn't you get the memo?
...the tobacco industry, perhaps?
Nahh, in order to run two Vistas, you'd need to use all three 8800GTX's
Agreed. Although I'm not a fan of King's Quest 1-4, I did love Kings Quest 5, 6, and 7.
Surprisingly, how could they leave off Leisure Suite Larry?
Well, seeing what his title is, I'd be surprised if he's not one of them.

Or do we not have these games because the libraries change too quickly?
I'm sorry, but I do believe that I can still play Quake3 with an up-to-date Gentoo system.
Weak, it's only 16-bit. In other words:
Nothing to see here, move along
I'm sorry, but I thought that several TV turner cards already had FM tuners, thus nullifying the need for this on a MythTV box.
Or am I wrong?
Riiight, because a 3rd party will never win an election.
That is, unless he has action figures....

Is FC6's installer better?
