No worries. Most of us understand the difference between mangling your grammar to the point of incoherency, and missing one simple (and fairly common) mistake.
Yeah, I had a feeling my cellmate might say that. He might think differently after I reach back, grip (after thoughtfully growing my fingernails out), impale, and twist. He might kill me afterwards, but a man's gotta die someday.
Oh... yeah, convicted felon. Hmm. Sounds like I'll have to settle for being a pain in the arse for this country, then.
You cross the line if you rip it to a difference format and remove the encryption.
They can call the police, and have me arrested for breaking the DMCA. I'll laugh at the cops. I'll laugh at the judge. I'll laugh at the jury, assuming they convict me. I'll laugh at my cellmate, and I'm sure he'll laugh with me when I tell him why I'm in jail.
And when I get out, you'll can be damn sure I'll go right back to ripping my DVDs, assuming I don't decide to emigrate somewhere else, first.
'Cause a country where I can't have the freedom to shift my media to a different format is not a country where I'm free. I certainly don't want to live there.
It's all a matter of priorities. Seems to me, people are placing too much attention on various distractions, and not paying enough attention to driving. It's that simple. Cell phones, screaming kids, hot coffee, a burger... whatever. If they'd simply ignore the distraction (and deal with the relatively minor consequences) and concentrate on driving, any given road would be a safer place.
My flight instructor drilled ANC into my head. Attention is a resource, just like any other. If the situation requires all of my attention placed into keeping the aircraft flying, that's where it'd better be. That's a priority. Navigation and communication can wait, 'til I've got the situation under control and can spare my attention.
Driving ought to be the same, though I certainly didn't hear it drilled into my head by anybody teaching me to drive, nor in the licensing test (Upstate New York, btw). Keeping my vehicle operating in a safe behavior for myself and any passengers is first priority. Keeping everyone else safe on the road is second. Getting to where I'm going is third. All other activities are non-important.
What I don't understand is why this isn't drilled into people's heads, much the same as my flight instructor did for me.
On the bright side, we now know why that Anonymous Coward guy is so freaky. I'd be a little messed up, too, if I "tapped" something that's been dead for that long (above and beyond just being dead...)
There are a couple new devices for folks like you and your daughter, who are trying to keep their private lives private. Keep in mind I have no affiliation with the following sites, I'm just trying to help out;o).
I'm sure that they meant open as in open access. Assuming that they meant open software is a bit of a stretch.
I suppose you missed the little bit on the parent's clicky... that part where it says (and I quote) "As long as you have an Internet connection, you'll be able to watch the ceremony as if you were there."
Note it didn't say "As long as you have an Internet connection and Windows". Like it's already assumed that you're running Windows...
That's because the Linux community has collectively decided that *you* don't deserve to run it, so we put in special code to keep you off the 'net. It's better for everybody this way.
Ignoring for a moment that Linux -has- its share of malware
There has not yet been a single widespread Linux malware threat of the type that Microsoft Windows software currently faces
Oh, I don't think that Wikipedia's all that bad. *grin*
Honestly, though, I do agree with you. As much as running Linux may be an answer to the "problem", it's not the answer. I've tried converting people over to Linux, and it takes a lot of effort to get their mindset shifted over from Windows to Linux. I've found that if they're apathetic to Windows, they're not going to switch... it takes actual desire on their part to move to something better.
Say I'm approaching a red light. I double clutch from fourth to second. My feet are off the throttle and clutch, so I'm engine braking to the light.
As the tachometer reaches ~1,250 (as best I can measure, as I'm keeping an eye on it and the light in front of me), the tone of the engine and the movement of the car is altered. Put simply, the deceleration diminishes. The car doesn't slow down as quickly as it was.
Now, if that is a problem, then I wish all of my other problems were like that.
Coasting may be illegal in most US states, but so is travelling five miles an hour over the speed limit. Fortunately, most cops aren't about to pull me over for either (though I do stick to the limit in school zones, for obvious reasons), so I'm not liable to not coast simply because it's illegal.
My reason for not coasting? From what I understand, when the engine's turning above ~1,000 RPM, the throttle's at "idle" (no pressure on the pedal), and the transmission's in gear, then the fuel injectors shut off. For everyone but the parent poster, that means it's not burning gas, and thus raising the mileage. Whenever I might use the coasting technique, it's probably better to simply leave it in gear, let the injectors shut off, save gas, and save my brakes (without worrying about overheating them, too).
Take note that I've got a manual transmission in a '97 Subaru Outback. My verification that the injectors shut off is simply "seat of the pants"... there's a bit of a surge when they kick back in at low RPM's.

There's a huge difference between washing your hands and being injected with a vaccine.
River: Mal. Bad. In the Latin.
"I'm sorry, Officer. Was I flying too low? Wait, I left my wings at home? Sorry, sir... those aren't side mirrors, they're just stubby wings."
Nope. It just means that if it can do the "grey goo thing", then we won't be around to worry about it.

Since they started using "just" to spell "justice system."

The people.
Only for sufficient values of omnipotence.
Gotta do what I can to stimulate the US economy... *grin*

I've heard they'll even increase the energy efficiency of your home or apartment.
I'd like to point out that I've yet to see a study that says breast feeding causes perverts.

You've been putting what where?
Never mind, I don't want to know...
Forget that... I wanna know how to *copy* it ;o)
I'm guessing something along the lines of "Your right to listen to whatever you want ends just outside my eardrums."
That's because the Linux community has collectively decided that *you* don't deserve to run it, so we put in special code to keep you off the 'net. It's better for everybody this way.
Sounds like your definition of poor and mine differ.

It's not an on-throttle surge.
Say I'm approaching a red light. I double clutch from fourth to second. My feet are off the throttle and clutch, so I'm engine braking to the light.
As the tachometer reaches ~1,250 (as best I can measure, as I'm keeping an eye on it and the light in front of me), the tone of the engine and the movement of the car is altered. Put simply, the deceleration diminishes. The car doesn't slow down as quickly as it was.
Now, if that is a problem, then I wish all of my other problems were like that.
The wheels are still turning, via the momentum of the car.
The transmission's connected to the wheels, so the transmission's turning (ok, the gears within).
My foot's off the clutch, so the transmission is turning the flywheel.
The flywheel's connected to the engine, so the engine's turning... no fuel needed.
