Kindergarten is the accepted spelling. The word comes from a german compound word, and garten is how you spell garden in german. Your other nitpick was correct, though.
Well, if we were spoiled decades ago, then you can be spoiled on Slashdot. Many people who see the movie know most of the plot beforehand. (Ignoring these nitpicks.) But they managed to like it.
They're different guys. The Iraqi Resistance is an entirely different kettle of fish from Al-Qaeda. The Iraqi Resistance is fighting for various reasons like loyalty to Sadaam or distake towards an American government, which are different from Al-Qaeda's reasoning.
Anyway, sometimes people die. Sometimes in large quanities. Yes, we should punish Al-Qaeda and put them in jail, no question about it, but geez, people overreacted to September 11th. You can't get too emotional about how deal out punishment. You have to look at it calmly.
Well yes, Ideally, but the Metric System (a system of measuring time) has to coexist with the "Gregorian Calendar with 86400 Second Days" system which we use to identify specific time periods. (Like right now: 7:22pm of the 26th of January, 2004.) There are no such problems with the rest of SI.
Various different Metric-style Calendars have been proposed, but none have really caught on. The Gregorian Calendar, with all its weeks, days, months, and years provide a wide variety of time cycles which match up nicely with society. It's one thing to change the units of volume or mass. That's minor. But time is a bit of a thornier area.
No, You just entered it wrong. gallon cubic foot means a gallon times a cubic foot, just like a newton-meter is a newton times a meter. That's why it gave the answer in meters raised to the sixth power.
A "pint" isn't really a unit. It's more of a name for a certian amount of beverage. By that I mean that ordering a "pint of beer" is no different than ordering "a large soda" or "a shot of whiskey." A pint is an order of beer that is 568 mL large. A "large soda" is an order of soda that is 710 mL large. A "shot of whiskey" is 45 mL. But you don't measure volume in shots. That would be stupid. You measure it in liters.
(Of course, I'm American and underage, so you should take that into account.)
The Patent Office is more likely to turn down a patent application if the prior art is already patented, because it's easier for them to find it.
But yes, I agree that the 20-year lifespan of patents would make this have less of the Copyleft aspects of the GPL. But that's not neccesarily bad. BSD has managed to be a successful license without having any Copyleft traits, and 20 years is still a pretty long time.
The researchers still are working on building a helium-3 reactor that would produce more energy than it takes in.
If you include the energy stored inside the Helium to begin with, (which is the literal interpetation of the sentence, even if not the intended one) this statement is false and impossible according to the conservation of energy or the first law of thermodynamics.
The freedom to bear and use guns is stupid. I'll grant that it's extremely possible that the Constitution grants the right to bear arms to all citizens. (Although I don't think it's that big a deal to us gun control types. We can still regulate trade as we see fit, as well as regulate the use of guns. (After all, if we couldn't regulate the use of arms, Armed Robbery would be no different than regular Robbery.))
But I really doubt that the Second Amendment will protect you from a tyrannical government. Besides the fact that any tyrannical government is probably going to just ignore the entire Bill of Rights, if you are going to rebel against a tyranical government in a fashion in which you will need guns, you are going to break some laws no matter what. Violent rebellion isn't legal even in the most free of nations. Murder's usually involved in such rebellions.
So a law against guns isn't really going to make much of a difference in your quest against tyrrany. You're still going to have to break alot of laws. Taking a trip over to your local gun smuggler isn't going to make much of a difference when you're wanted for attempted murder on the Emperor.
But cel phones are typically used in public, where there could be as many as 42 cel phones in the same room. To distinguish them, you need a ring tone more distinct than just "brrrrrng."
This way, when you hear "Safety Dance" start playing, you and you alone have to check your phone.
Or you can set it to vibrate. A lot of cel phones do that.
Ah yeah. The Puzzle Alarm Clock was mentioned by Miho Obana in the sidebar of Kodocha. Unfortunately, she got so good at it she still managed to go back to bed after turning the alarm clock off. No wait. I mean, I don't read Shoujo Manga.
The White Noise alarm sounds good though. I have my doubts over all the "wellness" rubbish they're talking about, but if it works (and it sounds like it might) it's a great product. It's effing expensive, though.
Well, Nintendo released (just in Japan, though) an adapter so that you can use SD Memory Cards instead of regular memory cards, for specially designed games. (Animal Crossing 2.) You can also use SD Memory Cards on your computer. In theory, these Linux guys could figure out how to get read-write access to this cards. (Or hell, just read.) Once you do that, you'd have a relatively easy way to transfer programs onto your Gamecube.
Although getting Linux itself up and running still sounds tedious and painful.
Well sure, if you go to a well balanced University which has nice departments on Liberal Arts, Law, or such things. But if you go to a school which has a focus on Technology or Engineering, you're screwed.
Yeah, I've had a lucid dream or two, although it's hard to tell whether you're actually lucid or whether you're just dreaming of being lucid. For one reason or another, I rarely manage to conjure up any "magical" powers, though, which pisses me off.
At any rate, this sort of device will probably help encourage Lucid Dreams. It's not entirely different from the stuff Lucidity sells, and if you're having a dream which you planned out, it might be more likely for you to realize that you are in a dream. Either way, Lucid Dreaming is hard, but this is easy.

Yeah, because a GUI is so useful when you're blind.

Some Buddhists believe in gods. Carryover from Hinduism, ya know. But they're deemed to be not very enlightened or important.
Yes, and in America it tends to be Moral Conservatives. Keep up.

Not that kind of book. Like in the bible.
Linux isn't command line only. Of course, neither is FreeDOS. It's called OpenGEM.

If you enter it correctly, Google gives the right answer.

A hogshead of beer is 54 gallons. A hogshead of wine is 63 gallons. (Source)
It looks like Baghdadic's caps lock broke while he was chatting. It must be hard living in Iraq.

The original ad contained the iPod. Apple is allied with IBM. Apple is at war with Microsoft. Apple has always been at war with Microsoft.

The Gamecube can access SD memory cards. You could probably cram some programs onto that.
