1) Fox doesn't show 7th Heaven. That's WB 2) MWC ran for 10 years, which is a long time for any show. Not sure if it was cancelled or they just ended the series. 3) Fox also shows the Simpsons, which is decidedly not family-friendly. 4) Temptation Island, Joe Millionaire, "When X Attack!", "Strangest X ever caught on tape!"
It's been a while since I read Jurassic Park, but I seem to remember a lot of "chaos will find a way" statements by Jeff Goldblum's character (Ian Malcolm).
There's one thing to have foreshadowing clues (Asimov, for example) and another to leave them scattered all over the place so that not only do you keep tripping over them, you eventually fall and get hurt. That's just bad writing.
I've had a SLIMP3 for the past year and would not trade it for anything (cept a squeezebox). The biggest thing is portability - I can leave it in the bedroom for music, move it to the backyard for the BBQ parties, move it to the living room to play holiday tunes, and take it to the kitchen when friends come over to play cards. All you need is an Ethernet run to the room - Squeezebox removes the cords altogether.
The UI is intuitive, the web interface rocks, and it's really easy to use.
Each person interprets the news in their own way. Think the US Civil War". To the North, it's just the plain ol' "Civil War". To the South, it's often called "the war of Northern Aggression". Everyone puts their own spin on things.
To say that someone like Peter Jennings is biased reading the news is absurd - he's just reading what's on the teleprompter. To say that someone like Peter Overby is biased is a bit closer because he's doing actual news reports. To say that someone like Ann Coulter is biased is pretty obvious - she has a known agenda, even if it appears to wander every now and then.
The trick is to detect and compensate for the bias. Unfortunately, that requires you get your news from a variety of sources (Fox, NPR, AP wire reports, etc.) and see if out of all that mess, you can get the real story. Good thing we have the Internet.
The Telco act of 1996 required that telemarketers maintain a Do-Not-Call list of their own. If a person was called and asked to be added to the list, the telemarketer had to add the person to that list and amek sure said person was never called again.
The Federal Do-Not-Call list is an extension of that. It has a list of people who are on everyone's Do-Not-Call list.
Given the Federal Do-Not-Call list has only been active for a month and the FCC has been investigating AT&T for 'several months' (read the PDF), that would imply that AT&T is violating the first instance of the Do-Not-Call list.
I disagree (and I'll admit I'm a regular NPR listener).
NPR keeps rolling out administration officials to interview. Today was Paul Wolfowitz being interviewed by Juan Williams (who is frequently on Fox News as a conservative). Yesterday Newt Gingrich was interviewed about power and made a lot of not-so-nice comments about the Clinton years. Don't forget others like Cokie Roberts and Peter Overby who have definate right-leaning reporting.
Based on the stories and way they're reported, they're one of the best "centrist" news organizations out there.
Bias has been pretty well reviewed and shown that while there may be a slight liberal bias in actual news reporting, that's not where people get their actual information from.
More news reports are coming from comments on Hannity and Colmes, Crossfire, Hardball, etc. Those shows all have a small liberal agenda behind them as compared to the larger conservative agenda. Taking into account the massive conservative talk radio, and the liberal voice is almost nonexistant.
I'd recommend if you're going to read "Bias", you also check out "Big Lies" and "Blinded By The Right".
When kids go to a non-public school (like those run by the Catholic Church), the parents have made a concious choice to send their kids there, knowing the kinds of bias that will be applied.
Public schooling should be as non-biased as possible. I certainly don't expect MPAA or RIAA representatives showing up and trying to teach children right from wrong. That's the job of parents.
I imagine I'll have to spend a lot of time de-programming my daughter when she starts school in a few years.
In some cases, the calls from police organizations and whatnot are not non-profits. As in, the receipt you get says "This donation is deductible as a business expense". As in, the 'charity' I donated to is not recognized as a non-profit org by the IRS. As in, they can't call you under the new rules.
I've written two books, a computer-based-training video script (and text), and more than a few LDP HOWTOs using only vi. Keep sections of text small, use something like DocBook to tie it all together and make it look pretty in the end.
I was certainly not riding bigwheels, I was a poor just-graduated-from-college-and-working-for-the-go vernment employee. Which made used CDs really appealing.
I remember talking to the owner of one of the stores I frequented and he said the retaliation from selling used CDs was to withhold marketing material (or money?) from the store. It was a small enough store not part of a chain and in a really good location that I don't think it mattered to him.
Besides, if anyone truly believes that more security-related bugs are found in windows than in linux, they must not be subscribed to the debian-security mailing list. 23 new announcements in august alone.
For 8710 packages across 11 different architectures, only 23 announcements isn't bad at all. That's 1 out of every 355 packages.
If you wanted to extrapolate from there, MSFT has what, maybe 100 or 200 software packages? Let's say 250 and be fair. According to Windows update, I've had 4 security related updates this month. If Microsoft distributed as many packages as Debian does, that would equate to 128 patches over the same time period.
Just because you can shout louder than everyone else doesn't make you right or a representative of the community as a whole. Linus calling McBride crazy is one thing. You making threats is just juvenile and an embarrasment to the rest of us. RMS doesn't try to pass himself off as a Linux representative, and he does a very good job of it.

I for one welcome our non-overlords-joke-telling overlords. Or should I say masters?
Uhm...I'm not sure what you mean by that but:
1) Fox doesn't show 7th Heaven. That's WB
2) MWC ran for 10 years, which is a long time for any show. Not sure if it was cancelled or they just ended the series.
3) Fox also shows the Simpsons, which is decidedly not family-friendly.
4) Temptation Island, Joe Millionaire, "When X Attack!", "Strangest X ever caught on tape!"

No, just bad writing. Ugh.
Squeezebox removes the cords altogether
Except, obviously, the power. You can't power devices via 802.11a/b/g or bluetooth.
I'm not aware of any, but you'd probably just want to set up shoutcast and broadcast that way.
Spend the $299.

It's already been tried. See the parent company of /.
How is it impossible to be unbiased?
Each person interprets the news in their own way.

There's two different things here.
The Telco act of 1996 required that telemarketers maintain a Do-Not-Call list of their own. If a person was called and asked to be added to the list, the telemarketer had to add the person to that list and amek sure said person was never called again.

Boy I'm glad you told me that. I might not have gotten the joke.

It would be TCP if he heard an "ow!" on the other end.

500 more unemployed out of the 3 million+ already unemplyed since 2001 is nothing
I've written two books, a computer-based-training video script (and text), and more than a few LDP HOWTOs using only vi. Keep sections of text small, use something like DocBook to tie it all together and make it look pretty in the end.
Of course, now they'll have to shrink the comic pages down another 30% to fit a new comic in.
Given the current state of comics, I'd give Breathed the entire comics section if he asked.
Of course, that's the book I'm reading now. It's bad, but I've read worse.
Gads.

I'll stick with Debian, thanks.
I pay for it now too through getting BBC America on my cable box.

Give!

You understanding is wrong. You're thinking of trademarks.
/. that tells the difference between copyright, trademark, and patents?
Can the editors create some sort of Legal FAQ on
