Phoenix, Arizona in the past few years has gone from the standard "There's slowing on US 60 and on I-10 by Route 101" to the irritating Southern Californianism "There's slowing on 'the' 60 and 'the' 10 by 'the' 101" and you would not believe the vitriol I got back from a few of the traffic reporters when I wrote and asked them to please, as journalists, use proper English. Did Nat King Cole sing "Get your kicks on 'the' 66?" Sheesh.
If they are so concerned about Spoilers, then why not do it as live television in front of a live audience? Or are modern series so stuck on special effects and multiple takes, that this can't be done like a stage play or vaudeville? Gee, it might even be "different."
Except -- If the article says the average human has eleven fingers, and you count yours and come up with 10, and put that in -- that is not permitted, because it is "original research." You have to find a published source that says there are 10. So good luck trying to actually put useful information in.
Some googling turned up some resources and eventually I realized there actually were links on the article page to a main KDE Windows Initiative page...
But none of those have any explanation of what it does, how it works inside Windows, or why you would want it.
That is, unfortunately, my experience with KDE generally. They have no concept, ability, or desire to explain to us, the Great Unwashed, how, what, or why.
It is not enough to have a technically superior product, folks -- you also have to "sell" it to your customers!
Once upon a time it would have been unthinkable to hear swearing on television, but now you hear it all the time. The first time I heard "she's got a nice a**" was when I unplugged that, I do not want that language in my living room. The networks used to have at least some taste, now it is full of smut and sex. Obviously the FCC does not censor at all, what are you talking about?
If people start buying underclocked CPUs and overclocking them, the manufacturers will start to cripple the CPUs for good, or make weaker CPUs... Wait, haven't we been down that road before?
As the price -- or perceived price -- of television rose from zero to something like fifty dollars a month in this age were everyone "has to" have cable or satellite, market penetration has fallen.
Say what you like about society or the declining quality of shows, but the fact is that as the price rose, demand fell.

This means you are not required to produce government issued photo identification, or submit to any other "test," before being permitted to move about the country. Furthermore, there is no law that says you need identification papers at all to live your life.
Should you happen to have a driver's license, you should show it only to a cop, and only when you are driving a car -- that is all it is good for.
Now, Napolitano says body scans, and Your Papers Please will be required to ride a train, boat, or bus, what's next, walk on the sidewalk? Will we surrender our First Amendment righs completely?
Long distance calls, which require you to dial ten digits with an area code, cost money to call. Local calls, seven digits, are free to call.
If cell phones cost money to call -- and widely varying costs at that -- how would I, the caller, know whether I am having to call someone, or how much the call would cost? That is why the costs reside entirely with the recipient.
Not having a television, I have only seen "amber alerts" on highway signs telling me to look for license plate numbers, so presumably they are looking for stolen cars?
Nobody ever heard of a telephone with a "+" button. You obviously dial international numbers the same way as with a desk telephone.
In the United States, seven digits is a local call; "1" and ten digits (the first digit being 2 thru 9) is a long distance call including area code; "0" is Operator; and "011" followed by country code and local number is International. Dialing works the same from a rotary phone as it does from a touch-tone landline set or your mobile... how could it possibly be any different? Rotary phones and cellulars just need 0 thru 9.
I thought television sets came "cable-ready" -- haven't they done so for like twenty years now? Why would you rent something that was obsoleted in the early 90s?
"And -- Your phone number?"
"What?"
"I need your phone number."
"Why?"
"The computer won't let me finish without a phone number."
"OK... 3."
"3... what?"
"Just 3. It's a very old number, been in the family for generations."
First off, why spoil your argument with profanity?
Second, why do you think science precludes free will, when quantum physics is underlaid with randomness -- and there is no reason why that randomness precludes either free will or supernatural involvement by a god or gods.

Hmm... If it's open and "libre" but you charge for it, that's LOSS software?

It is a shame you could not make a good point without destroying it by stooping to profanity.

Curious this comes just a couple days after RMS warned us about the dangers of entrusting others with our personal or corporate data: http://techcrunch.com/2010/12/14/stallman-cloud-computing-careless-computing/

Adam Smith is giggling.
Dude, PaintShop Pro 2.0 is, like, so 1993.
A newspaper "breaks" a story, not "brakes" it. Unless you mean the news comes to a screeching halt.
Would you stand in a security line, after that happened?

I have repeatedly asked for my cell phone number to be listed in the White Pages, but T-Mobile refuses to. FRUSTRATING!
You had some excellent points until you started swearing. Clean up your act, I wanted to hear what you had to say.
Why did you spoil a good posting with profanity? Do you not know any better words?

Great point. Why did you have to spoil it with profanity?
How is this "device" with its CPU, memory, display, and I/O capabilities any less of a computer than an Apple ][ or a Commodore 64?
