Because the people making the software don't think about that, and when the installer-creator wizard asks for a license file, they just point it to the GPL? Most software developers don't write the installers, they just write the software.
They have enough of a monopoly to dictate much of how things are produced. Musicians know that if they want to be successful, they have to be sold at Wal-Mart, which severely influences the music market, believe it or not. If Wal-Mart says "jump", anyone wishing to have their stuff sold at Wal-Mart will do so, because not doing so can be very costly.
Hopefully it does force people to become literate, though... wait, no. I've seen emails from "coporate"[sic] types full of E.E. Cummings letter-casing, gross misspellings, grammar screw-ups (primarily homonyms), etc. They speak better than they write already. They're good at the bullshit when it doesn't have to actually be recorded and can be referenced. I don't mind the phone, but if you want anything you say to stick to me (and you), use email.
Dude. Heat IS radiation. Or are you talking like, gamma waves or something? They capture a hell of a lot of the energy of the reaction... otherwise the entire complex would be radioactive.
Maybe we could use the most copious product of that reaction, let's call it "heat", and apply it to some easily managed fluid that will change phases at a temperature and pressure that won't require a lot of difficult design, and use the mechanical energy from that phase change to produce energy. And let's use a common fluid, so that it's well understood and available. How about... I dunno... water?
Face it. Just because water is "old" technology doesn't make it any less useful. Stop reading sci-fi books and start reading real science books.
Wow. Sounds like you had crappy luck. I have a Blackberry 8800 that I got specifically because of the GPS, and it works great. Locks on to 5-8 satellites in 30 seconds or so, every time. Locks on my position, and the map starts following me, in my car. Don't even have to set it on the dashboard or anything, which my brother's Garmin GPS unit almost requires.
Turtles all the way down, m'boy. If you have to say it's an invisible, undetectable force doing it, it really doesn't matter now, then does it? From our observations, it's random, and random it shall stay until you come up with some duplicatable experimental proof that it isn't.
When people who don't believe in evolution try to set up straw men and undermine general scientific understanding and the scientific method, I have a problem with it. The problem is that anyone who doesn't believe in evolution doesn't believe in the scientific method, which would basically put us back in the dark ages.
You can't really tell by listening because of the digital nature of it prevents any actual popping or skipping. It's just that everything sounds really loud, you can hear every sound at the same volume. It shows up mostly in a waveform. Many people experience it as getting "tired" listening to newer pop music, but don't notice it on older mixes that aren't blown out.
No, the standard railway gauge is derived from the relatively standard size of a human, not from any cart axle size. The cart axle size was ALSO determined from the standard size of a human. The point is that the human is the root of the measurements, and that is how the railway and cart are connected in dimension. Reasoning skills need to be taught in schools...
Dude. A CD in those blenders? It would blend the CD player as well as the CD, speaker magnets and all. They aren't going to blend something as trivial as a single CD, or even multiple CD's, unless they're in a wallet, which would actually be kinda cool...
What do you mean they're misleading? They're saying that most people haven't moved to Office 2007 in the almost year since it's been released (which your numbers support), and people aren't using the new formats. In comparison, people are increasingly using applications that create ODF files, especially as compared to those who're using OOXML..doc format isn't anywhere in the equation.
I don't care about your mom. Nor do most people. But you probably do. Just because you don't need it doesn't mean that no one does, or even that the majority of people don't do it.
People aren't COMPLETELY retarded. Only mostly. If there's an increase in accidents, people will slow down. And the solution is to put a speed limit NEAR what people are going through the area at. If people are going 50 past a school zone, yeah, that's an issue. But if it's a limited-access highway and everyone is going 75 even though the speed limit is 45? That's just poor design or greed. If you're concerned about safety, set the speed limit there up from 45 to 60 or 65. That way people will have a reasonable top speed they'll want to go, you'll keep people slightly slower overall, and everyone is happy. Commuters get where they're going faster, and ambulances still have very few people to scrape off the retaining walls.
I think most people (like me) are middle-of-the-road types. I only block ads if they annoy me. I see a fair number of ads, and even click on them from time to time, but as soon as your ad server slows down what I want to look at or annoys me (I'm looking at you doubleclick.net and intellitxt.com), I block it. It's really fairly simple.
They are worth it, though. The mouth-breathing morons who can't block ads like we do are the types to click on the ads or punch the monkey. I consider annoying ads a "tax" for people who can't be bothered to educate themselves marginally about the exceptionally complex system they want information from.
Perhaps it would be more of an indication that the speed limits were set wrong. Either way, if the speed limit is 45 and everyone is going 75, there's a problem there. People don't often go faster than they feel safe going (cf. the imbecile who flies past me on the straightaway and then slows down over 20mph from his previous speed on a gentle curve), and if there's no increase in the number of accidents, the speed limit is quite obviously set wrong. Whether it's a means to generate revenue via tickets, an incompetent traffic engineer, whatever, it's still wrong.

7? I've got 9 thunked in with a 32->64bit plugin wrapper, but it seems to work alright for me. Comes by default in the Feisty repos, too.
God? Is that you?

It all actually came from Yakov Smirnoff. Sheesh, don't you people ever get out?

Doesn't it stop being "music" when it stops being able to be appreciated on a human scale? Art, sure. Noise, definitely. But music? I don't think so.

And with a microwave you don't really care about preserving or cooking food in again without copious airing out and/or cleaning.
