"But heck, "whom" nearly always sounds more high-brow."
Pretentious grammar is the sign of an illiterate, especially when it's incorrect pretentious grammar.
P.S.
Diagramming sentences was my favorite part of my high school English classes.;-)
Yes, I think he simply meant that we're setting our sights too low:ie, Centuries ago "Isaiah" (whoever he was - I'm an atheist myself) was suggesting that we should all have seven chicks each!!!:-)))

And that is also why I purchase everything I possibly can (including couches and other large items as well as electronics, etc) via the Internet from states other than California.
I once saved about $200 by having a computer shipped from a store in Los Angeles to an Arizona "Suite" address, and then forwarded to me back in California - and the $200 savings was *after* paying the additional shipping cost!
I did a spreadsheet calculation based upon my yearly SS contribution amounts from the numbers the SSA sends out to everyone each year. If the money I and my employers had been "contributing" to Social Security on my behalf all of my life had been earning 5% per year, I would now have about $500,000 as a result. Now that I'm retired however, the government only gives me back $1,900 a month.
I was rather impressed when I did jury duty service in Los Angeles and noticed that in the main jurors waiting room there were several Micro-ATX sized computers with Internet access for rent by the hour. The computers were locked down so tight (the Mozilla web browser and a card game were the only apps installed) that I couldn't even tell what OS they were running until I did a POR reset so I could watch it reboot. They were running one of the major Linux distributions, but at the moment I can't recall which it was (Suse I think).
Who is "we"? I would very much like to have an ISP that allows me to filter out email by country/region, and would like to know the name of ISP's who offer this option.
I guess you must have missed the final episode where Mulder and Scully were both on the run from the FBI and staying in a seedy motel together. Scully had actually come around to Mulder's way of thinking _much_ earlier in the series.
Damn, so much for getting back any of the half-million dollars the government has taken from me in Social Security taxes over my lifetime (about $250K from me and $250K from my employers on my "behalf").
Take a look at your own SS statement sometime, and run it through a spreadsheet that calculates totals and includes interest at say 5%. You will be VERY surprised.
Yes it does bear a striking resemblence to the 1998 Mars Polar Lander mission. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if the Scout isn't just a rebuild of it - hopefully with the landing gear problem fixed.;-)
I always thought that not reusing the design and development work that went into the 1998 Mars Polar Lander is an example of NASA waste. Just because the landing gear failed to function properly is no reason to discard all the design and development time and effort that people (including myself - I spent about a year writing the firmware for the MET metrological subsystem for the 1998 mission) put into the rest of the project. Design and development is the major cost of spacecraft, and any reasonable person would simple correct the landing gear problem and try again rather than trashing the entire design and starting over from scratch.
I would be more interested in knowing how to use the same email directory and profile settings with both my Linux version of Thunderbird and my Windows version of Thunderbird. Has anyone ever tried this?

Or in other words, photons are everywhere at once (from their frame of reference)?
Or just clip off the write enable pin on the EEPROM and ground it (or pull it high depending on the logic).

Because according to Thomas Jefferson: The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground.
Not unless there's a police car around.
Check out the Libertarian Party.
All planetary landers are assembled in clean rooms and sterilized prior to launch for this specific reason.
By then pistols will have been totally outlawed as they are already in some places such as New York.
Use macros that expand to the API call appropriate to the OS being compiled under.

True, but you can get a small discount at Amazon if you use their A9 browser before making a purchase.

So that makes two of us who are opposed to a unified world government.
I think most people (myself included) simply ignore EULA's.
Very insightful. I wish I had some mod points.
