Does it support phantom power? I've been considering getting a higher-end audio card for recording on my home PC and I've been wondering if anything that I do buy will be able to support any higher-end microphones I might consider buying as well. You can buy a USB condenser mic, but it seems kind of like a waste, although I bet you couldn't find anything better for the price. But I'd prefer getting a traditional mic and hooking it up through more traditional means.
The fact that other options may be more appropriate does not mean that what I said is incorrect, though. Just about everything that you changed in that sentence was simply a matter of personal choice (start vs. begin, for example). Further, it sounds more--for lack of a better term--snobbish than the other.
And even then, doesn't the employer have to challenge the claim for benefits? I lost my job a couple years ago and when I went for my unemployment interview, the guy said that it was pretty much guaranteed that I'd get it because nobody came to contest the claim.
I always laugh when people don't realize that the phrase "this call may be recorded" isn't just notifying YOU that it MIGHT be recorded (which it is), but that the same phrase also grants you permission to do the same. It's quite a genius little phrase, actually. Two birds and all that.
You maybe could make a case for vagrancy, but that's REEEEAAALLY reaching.
As much as I say that the fact that he's a sex offender is COMPLETELY irrelevant to the story, I do have to wonder why the guy couldn't just use internet at home to surf. I mean, if it's just a question of money, that's one thing, but if he was restricted for some reason from using the internet, well, that's another question altogether.
Actually, I believe MySpace allows you to be a member at age 14. However, it marks all underage profiles as private (I think), so that only friends can see the information besides age, location and screen name (this includes additional pictures).
The problem is when an underage user misrepresents him- or herself by saying that they're older than they are; THIS is a violation of their rules.
This is why I don't understand how age verification would have solved anything to begin with, because it wouldn't have stopped her from being on the site. But regardless, they shouldn't be held accountable because she broke the rules, period.
I've always been taught that the extra S should be there only if the word has two or fewer syllables. And I've been taught that historical names should not have the extra S added (I'm not sure why this is the case), such as with "Jesus' teachings," for example.
The company I support uses SMS to get around this. A user with a locked-down PC can request to the SMS team that an application get installed and half an hour later, it's pushed out. Voila, user is able to run their application.
The down side of this is that obviously you need a large enough SMS team to be able to create application packages for EVERY APPLICATION that your company could conceivably use. The up side is that you only need to create a single package for the application and you can then push it to any of your users, worldwide. This is also a great way of making sure that the configurations of the applications matches whatever your security policies match.
You know, it's funny, but I originally hated vi/vim. I thought like you did, that it was far too complex and too hard to remember things. But I forced myself to use it, mainly because it's the editor that just about every Unix machine has, and when I need to log into one for my job, it's nice to know that I have an editor right at my fingertips.
I used to use Pico (from the PINE suite) because it was easy, had all of the commands in front of you on the screen, and could use the arrow keys. But the more that I used vi, the more I realized that it actually isn't counterintuitive at all. I find myself doing things using vi without thinking that I had a great deal of trouble with when I first started using it. It just seems to make sense, now.
Given that the verbage is purposefully vague, I would hope (though this hardly means that it would actually be so) that the widest possible interpretation of it is taken. This would mean that if the intent of the infringement is criticism or critique, regardless of the target of such critique, it is protected.
But that could just be me being idealistic. Who knows what actual judges would interpret the law to say.
I hate to repeat something that has already been said, but I wouldn't be the first person in this thread to do so: In this case, it is NOT copyright infringement, regardless of the fact that the manual was published without permission. The reason for this is as follows:
[A] reviewer may fairly cite largely from the original work, if his design be really and truly to use the passages for the purposes of fair and reasonable criticism.
In other words, what this judgment states is that a work is considered fair use if its intent is to provide commentary or criticism. In the case of the Apple service manual, it is clearly a critique of Apple's mishandling of the processor in the first place. The author of the post is clearly making the logical case that Apple is doing a poor job by posting the damning evidence of the service manual, and making the logical case that had they not screwed it up in the first place, you wouldn't have had to repair the thermal paste. I don't know what could be more of a case of valid critique than this.
As such, it seems pretty obvious to me that Apple is trying to prevent the criticism of whatever shoddy computer building practices it might have, rather than trying to protect its copyright.

That is to say, NORMAL people don't use it. Only geeks do. The average user would MUCH rather sign up to receive email updates to something (say, a website updating) than to subscribe to an RSS feed. It's just not intuitive for them.
So until you can get the general public to adopt RSS, mailing lists are going to continue to need to exist.

"Arguement" is SO not a word, not in British OR American spellings.
And get restricted from every airport in America? The nerve!
It's like getting stoned, only with metal.

Further, it sounds more--for lack of a better term--snobbish than the other.
Actually, regardless of the "and" rule, it's perfectly acceptable to begin a sentence with "because" when used in certain ways:
"Because I had learned English correctly, I knew which words could be used to start sentences."
Well, if you've never been in an accident, then of course you're driving "wrecklessly." But that's got nothing to do with driving "recklessly". ;)

Sorry, I had to. The whole meaning of your post changes with just the addition of that one w.
No... Didn't you know? Steroids SHRINK your weiner.

He needs to get one of these.
But really, the point is to NOT want to go to Soviet Russia, right?
;)
In Soviet Russia, infinitives split YOU!
Actually, it wasn't called OS7. ;) Anything before OS8 was called "System ", so v7 was called "System 7," or "System 7.1", etc.
Um... On a public street?

True, but regardless, the school district has no jurisdiction in the matter.

Amazingly enough, I never realized that until I looked at that string of letters just now.
Actually, it's :d5d that deletes five lines. :)

From the opinion of Justice Story in Folsom v. Marsh, as reported in Wikipedia's Fair Use entry:In other words, what this judgment states is that a work is considered fair use if its intent is to provide commentary or criticism. In the case of the Apple service manual, it is clearly a critique of Apple's mishandling of the processor in the first place.

I'm sure you meant "two phonemes". :)
Hell, I still watch 24 even though I want to vomit every time I hear somebody mention some of that horrendous IT jargon they like to spew around.
Doesn't NEED to be accurate to be enjoyable. Would it be more enjoyable if it were accurate? Possibly.
The big problem with RSS is that NOBODY USES IT.
That is to say, NORMAL people don't use it. Only geeks do. The average user would MUCH rather sign up to receive email updates to something (say, a website updating) than to subscribe to an RSS feed. It's just not intuitive for them.
