in the newer models there's also a volume limiter in the settings. It'd be kind of a pain to reset it everytime you move it from the car to the den, but its nice that the feature's there.
Indeed, adult swim has gotten way too focused on being "strange yet funny" rather than just being humourous. I blame Aquateen since it started the trend.
nah, of the three the country with the fewest physical consquences would be Iraq. NK has enough guns pointed at SK to make Charlton Heston orgasm and Iran is a much more cohesive and larger physical threat than Iraq was 3 years ago. Bush had it in his head to invade somebody, and Iraq was the most convient target. AND they had oil, wheee.
I'd argue that focus groups and computer models are methods to the madness, not the cause. The US has 2 parties because to gather the most votes it is beneficial to move to the center of the political spectrum. As there are no other candidates (as having them would eliminate that half's party from winning at all, see Nader/Gore), all voters on either side of the divide (say a 4 on a 7 point scale) must vote for their candidate (a 3.9 and a 4.1 respectively). They use the focus groups to get there, they aren't there because they use them.
most kids don't get phone calls from random people that they meet on the street. I can understand being open, but IM and other such things does open the net a fair bit wider than the telephone did.
no, it means that they are 95% confident that the data is within 3% of the stated number. Meaning that there is a 5% chance that the date is not within that 3%. It could be 3.1% it could be 8%. they don't know, but are 95% sure that it is.
see the problem with statistics is that they can't guarantee that a poll is going to match the actual data. There's always going to be a chance that the sample picked is way off. I dont' know what kind of confidence level they were running in '04, but there was probably a 5% chance that the exit poll data was not going to accurately represent the actual data.
no, I'd imagine its about saving teh bewbz. Its a lot easier to get people excited about breast cancer than lung cancer, considering the amount of money that tobacco makes.
or she could go down to walmart or staples or office depot and get a toshiba cause its cheap and what they have there. When buying a computer, other than the examples you list, people rarely buy a "brand" its what they can afford where they buy it. When my brother bought his Toshiba he didnt' walk into staples and say "I want a toshiba" he said I want a laptop and it was the best deal they had at the time.
so if I held a tape recorder up to my speakers would that not be stealing? If you're putting it out there on the internet, there are a myriad of ways to turn it into an mp3. If you don't want people transcoding your music, maybe you shouldn't have it on myspace?

Why? No one else is required to.
My guess they didn't know/care enough to check. Notice they got dropped 1 day after Allofmp3's first press conference.
you're new here aren't you? /. without overreaction is not /.
because its blaitantly obvious when a gun is being misused. HFCS is much more subtle.
you sir, are my hero. That is the ONLY level headed examination of Windows and Microsoft that I have read on /.
if you're still working with early controller prototypes a month before launch, you've got problems.
No, he isn't able to illustrate that it would be a public nuisance because the employee would be biased.
No, he's saying the employee would be biased.
I thought rogue postal employees took care of that? Zing!

not that I totally disagree with you but, captial? Takes money to make money and all that jazz.

As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.
I would think that taking them out of line and shooting them would be doing something about them. Also, thanks for invoking Godwin's Law!
nah, they'll go back up as soon as the republicans get re-elected. /cynic
how is college not a private education collective?
