They stopped calling them laptops when the things became too hot to use on the lap without risk of burns. They're notbooks now. I guess just put it on a desk and use one of these
Maybe it's because they know that students of hard sciences are generally more intelligent than students of humanities and therefore hold you to a higher standard. After all, if you took the most renowned nuclear physicists and asked them to get a doctorate in French literature, I think they would probably be able to do so with greater ease than if you asked the most renowned professors of French Literature to get a doctorate in nuclear physics.:)
Umm, I'm assuming that articles and demonstratives don't count? I would think those would almost always be among the 20 most frequent, but perhaps I assume incorrectly...
Yes,that statement is completely analogous in structure and meaning and therefore the difficulty still remains. Here, the first part still could be an explanation of the context of the second part rather than a preface. It could be construed to mean that people's right to keep and read books is primarily given for the purpose of "a well-schooled electorate," and therefore, any literature that does not contribute to this necessity is not protected.
I didn't say that I felt that the interpretation I was explaing was correct, but merely pointing out that one cannot disregard the first part of the sentence, pretending it doesn't even exist, because you yourself personally feel that it does not limit the scope of the second part. It may very well be _just_ prefatory, but to pretend that it isn't there, that there is no debate or difficulty at all, is inexcusable.
Actually, you misquoted it, making it seem more clear than it is. While I agree with your interpretation( that any citizen should be able to purchase and own firearms,) the fact is that the 2nd amendment is rather difficult to discern the definite meaning of. Your quote leaves out the difficult part that precedes it, "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, ".
If you're going to leave that part out, you must still acknowledge that it's there either by using "[T]he" or "...the", not "The."
There is this difficulty that, read one way, the 2nd amendment could mean that the primary and protected context of a citizens right to keep and bear arms is in the context of membership in a militia whose function is national defense.
The 4th is much clearer and does not use the "exact same" language, as you claimed, at all. I don't agree with the connection you made. Sadly though, the extreme clarity of the 4th amendment does not seem to prevent the erosion of the rights it engenders.
PERHAPS THAT WAS THE FUCKING JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear slashdot community. I have absolutely no way of sensing sarcastic, satirical, or tongue-in-cheek humor. Can you recommend an open-source alternative?
Wow, let me see if I can be even more pointlessly pedantic.
*ahem*
Wouldn't ACTUAL G-forces be the ones that are the result of the earth's pull and forces felt as a consequence of acceleration would be ARTIFICIAL G-Forces?
I visited and listened to the samples and you get a big thumbs up!. I don't listen to that kind of music, but if I know people who do and if I get a chance in conversation before I forget all about you, I'll send them off to the site.
1. Commercial operating systems cost $90-120 from MS. 2. The cost of a new computer from Apple costs a lot more than a comparable new computer from Dell. 3. You might get a better machine, but hardly anybody cares.
If he only found 11 hours of stuff to fix, he obviously isn't utilizin his full imagination.
I suggest overclocking, attempting to run a computer submerged in pure water(maybe those two at the same time), or extending the range of a wireless network with items purchased at a hardware store.
I'm not sure that I can believe that the only places available to you to buy music legitimately do not have the kind of music you like. Yeah, when I walk into walmart or target, I'm generally pretty disgusted with the selection, but there are easy-to-find better music venues all over. I just bought two non-riaa cd's from Borders, an underground hip-hop cd on the Definitive Jux label, and a disc of idm/glitch beats on Warp Records. Not only that, but there's a great chain of used, new and local music stores around here that caters to even more unusual tastes than mine. This is Nebraska, and what one would expect to be the low-end of selection as far as music-scenes go, is really quite good.
I find it hard to believe the "I just can't find what I like" excuse. Unless you only listen to Polish grindcore or Japanese polka, you're probably not looking hard enough. Do your research so you don't get tricked into buying a one-good-track cd, and then pull out the phonebook. Someone in your area probably sells it.
Failing that, try the INTERNET! Amazon is a great resource.

Dude, you did it wrong. Leave it to the guy that does them.
I forgot that French Literature was in French. Let's say umm, sociology then.

The mouse doesn't look very ergonomic.

Have the mods been freebasing glue again?
Wow, you managed to post something useful sandwiched between fp attempts. Good job!

Does this help?
How much?
And don't say $699.
How is it "insightful" to totally ruin the joke by making it painfully obvious what he was referring to?

I don't care what the answer is either.
Just wait until it's your birthday and I don't get you a cake, a present, balloons, or sing you happy birthday. We'll see what's "redundant" then...
Happy Birthday

They could write "slave" on their cheek during live performances and change their names to symbols. I hear that worked once.
