It doesn't really raise that issue as the ad didn't say it gives access to "essential" parts of the internet. It said it gives access to *all* parts of the internet.
I have no time to learn a real guitar and since I'm married, I'm not supposed to be trying to get laid, so I suppose I'll continue having fun clacking away on the fake guitar.
Biden is actually very good on civil liberties. Better than Obama, certainly, and one of the better members of the senate. He only fails on those civil liberties issues that Hollywood is on the wrong side of. I realize that the average slashdotter is only concerned about those, but personally, I feel a candidate's position on the right to speedy trials, domestic spying and habeas corpus is a hell of a lot more important than the right to a fast internet connection on which to download the latest Nickelback album.
They offer no real benefit for the vast majority of the music buying public. For 99.9% of people buying music today, CDs are good enough. That's why other formats failed. Only audophiles will buy those, but their too busy buying $500 ethernet cables to notice new physical music formats.
Chickens were almost certainly bred for docility, and that likely correlates with low intelligence. (Same with cows, sheep, etc., which are all more docile then, and stupider than, their wild counterparts.)
Solar power makes most sense in places like people's roofs, where you obviously can't put a nuclear power plant. It is not hard to put enough panels on the average detached to handle the power needs of the residents.
Unless you are using one of the few parts of boost that require libraries, "installing boost" means copying it somewhere and putting a "-I" line that points to it in your build.
The licensing terms are themselves hardly cryptic.
If you look at 100 stars and find "hot jupiters" around 20 of them, that essentially invalidates any theory of solar system formation that doesn't allow for the formation of "hot jupiters", regardless of what's around the other 80.
DRM doesn't necessarily force someone to buy the game. It very often forces people to say "This is more trouble than it is worth. I'm going to buy a Wii, where the DRM is transparent, and won't annoy me". Note that people who say *that* have no need to rationalize anything.
It's the side of the DRM equation that is generally ignored. Developers are so fixating in using DRM to force pirates to buy their games that they ignore the number of paying customers who don't buy their games *because* of the DRM. If the second outweighs the first, they lose money even though they've "stopped the nasty pirates".
It's like getting upset about shoplifting, hiring an uzi carrying security guard for every aisle and then wondering why your sales go down.
The most important thing that you need to understand is that the large number of "hot jupiters" that have been found have essentially disproven existing theories of solar system formation. This is not a case where a new theory is proposed to replace an existing theory that already explains most of the evidence ala Einsteinian physics replacing Newtonian physics. This is a case where we have essentially no theory at all that explains the observed evidence.

Because if you are a console gamer, most of those don't apply to you.
Except for Quicken and Office demos.

I don't want to have to turn off the damn nag screens. I like the way Ubuntu does it. It puts a little "reboot" icon up there and lets me decide.
I forgot Zodiac. It was great fun, but not exactly deep.
Snow Crash is fun, but it's a bit on the immature side. Both The Diamond Age and Cryptonomicon are superior.
The Baroque Cycle is more ambitious than any of these, but has serious issues.
That fucking Windows reboot nag is one reason I bought a Mac.
There was a lot of good stuff. Unfortunately, it was intermixed with about 750 pages of completely tedious stuff.
Stephenson is hardly the first SF writer to use esoteric language styles for effect.
If only any of those languages could run at a fraction of the speed of C++, we might be able to ditch it.

Because they feel more comfortable with the though that there's some manager over there watching to make sure the underlings are actually working.
I'm not saying it is a *valid* reason, but there ya go.
That sort of protest works lots better when you are in a country that is basically democratic in the first place.
Going to foreign countries run by totalitarian governments to protest is a bit on the unwise side regardless of how just the cause.

Er, what?
I spent much my Oblivion playing time wondering when they were going to explain the skin-disfiguring disease that apparened to be running rampant.

So about 10% of the state of Nevada.
You'll only take boost/shared_ptr out of my cold, dead hands.
