If they admit they lost, they could be sued for "failing to promote shareholder value" or somesuch.
They are essentially bound to see this through...otherwise, they'd get sued by their own shareholders. They took a gamble and lost, and everything else is just following through to avoid getting sued.
My Gord, did you guys see the last two movies? And you still want to give that man more of your hard earned money!?
No wonder Lucas ignores his fans...he knows they'll pay even if he films ninety minutes of his cat fluffy with a Luke Skywalker doll strapped to its back.
" Considering that children don't usually wander far away from their parents, it would be reasonable to assume that where the child is, the parents also are."
Once I had to muck with sound devices in Windows a lot. Windows 2000 is perfectly happy to play sound from multiple programs. I have personally run Winamp, Microsoft Media Player, Real Player and Yahoo Player simultaneously, all playing mp3s. Sure, it sounded like muddled crap, but the OS was perfectly happy to do it.
On the other hand, many Linux programs can't use the sound device if you set the desktop to use it for system sounds.
My Clie was a life saver for that. I could read it in my kid's room without turning on the light. Also, when standing on the train, the one-hand reading feature is a wonder.
In the last election, absentee ballots made up 25% of the vote. And yes, the other 75% is up for grabs...hence my post. The more people I can convince to use absentee ballots, the better.
I was a high-school freshman in 1979. Not radically different? You had to make sure you got to the bank during bankers hours if you wanted cash. If your eye-sight was bad, you could not just spend $2000 to get them fixed. If your favorite show was on at 8 pm, you had to park your ass on the couch then or wait for the rerun in a few months. If some important event was happening across the world, you basically had to wait for the evening news to find out about it. The average TV viewer had five or six channels to choose between.
Yes, computers existed, but only a few hobbiests had them in their homes. They were the sort of thing where the common way to load a program was to type it in with a paper listing.
If you wanted to find out what was playing at the local theater you had to go buy a newspaper. If you wanted to get directions to a location, you had to call someone who knew them up and get them.
It was a time when digital watches were still a neat idea. Cell phones were virtually unknown.
Looking at what's on my Palm Pilot, I see "novels" ranging from 163k (Cory Doctorow's "Eastern Standard Tribe") to two megabytes (Stephen King's "The Waste Lands".) "War and Peace" is 1.7 megabytes.

Move back because of weather!? You're talking about a guy from fucking Finland!
So leave out Ford through Bush II, and make all the other ones zombie presidents, risen from the grave.
Unfortunately, the "install.pl" script does not always work.
Scoop is a pain in the ass to set up compared to other blogging software. It's also a bit of overkill for blogging.
In stable?
I'm not talking about business ethics in general. I'm talking about Google's specific recommendations.
Those shouldn't be guidelines. They should be legal requirements.
Fool me twice, shame on me.
Fool me three times, I must be a slashdot reader.

Hahaha! Hohoho! Heeheehee!
You don't have kids, do you?
It's not mentioned in the review, but you can download firmware for the iRiver 390T to play OGG files.
I use an iRiver 599T and play mostly OGG files on it. I love it. Very long battery life. (~25 hours) Quick downloads. Very light and easy to use.
On the other hand, many Linux programs can't use the sound device if you set the desktop to use it for system sounds.
I hated Quicksilver. Dull, dull, dull!

You don't want your audience to be able to go pee?
This implies that since Java disallows multiple inheritance, it must be a tool of Satan.
I don't believe the world exists while I'm asleep.

If you don't trust Diebold, request an absentee ballot. In California, at least, these are still old fashion recountable paper.

On the other hand, we did have a microwave.
Best thing to do then is to find the old Star Trek novelizations James Blish did. He did every single episode.
OT, but given relativity, the distance Linux (and Linus) has travelled depends entirely on the reference point you choose.
