You could argue that the people of Africa may not, but the governments may.
We wouldn't want all of that aid money to be spent on expensive software to create the country's infrastructure when it could just be free in both senses of the word.
Most debit cards act just like credit cards. I had a job at 15, and I had a debit card linked to my checking account where I put money from said job to spend on eBay from about 16 or so.
No, M is not for 15 year olds, it's for 17 year olds and up.
Yeah, it's stupid, 17+ instead of 18+, but here's the deal: a game with an AO rating won't get sold in any physical shop short of an adult bookstore, whereas a game with an M rating gets sold EVERYWHERE.
Regarding the 'God forbid they see pixellated nudity,' there IS allowed to be some partial nudity in Teen rated games and full nudity in M games. AO is reserved for games depicting explicit sex acts. That's the difference. If the sex wasn't on camera, it'd be M anyway, but displaying it means that it could have been AO.
Just use IMDB like everyone else.
I'm feeling generous today though, so here you go...
Narrator: A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.
Business woman on plane: Are there a lot of these kinds of accidents?
Narrator: You wouldn't believe.
Business woman on plane: Which car company do you work for?
Narrator: A major one.
The evolution of a combination of memes:
1) Only teenagers write worms in Germany
2) In Germany, worms write teenagers!
3) I, for one, welcome our teenager writing worms in Germany
Sad, isn't it?
I figured he was calling up the lightning for so long that the dark side was starting to take its toll on his body a little faster than it usually does.
Or for instance the way my pizza shop does its paperwork...weeks are M-S because we do so much business on the weekend that it makes much more sense to do it that way.
I think that would be bit like saying the Emperor wanted Darth Vadar because of his charisma;-)
This sounds right...I mean, CHA is the base stat for Intimidate...
From the PHB: Charisma measures a character's force of personality, persuasiveness, personal magnetism, ability to lead, and physical attractiveness. This ability represents actual strength of personality, not merely how one is percieved by others in a social setting.
Furthermore, according to the 1st edition (I never got the revised:( ) of the SWd20RPG, Vader has a CHA of 15, which is fairly respectable.
At my HS, two years back they bought all-new computers for everyone.
They were all Dells, we were an all Mac shop before.
Why?
"Kids will be using Windows in the real world, so we need to train them for it in school."

False positives for it tend to be rather minor as far as I have ever seen.
What about this kind of 'false positive':
You go into a store and buy, say, a CD. You take the bag and the recepit, take the CD out, leave it in your car, go to a different store with the bag in your pocket, put new CD in the bag, and walk out.
"Oh, I already bought this at Target, here, see, I have the receipt!"
It doens't matter if XP has the features or not...you're forgetting that the current version of Windows is Longhorn.
The correct answer is that 'Longhorn's tight integration with hardware thanks to Microsoft's close engineering work with card makers that provides a level of performance unachievable by any other vendor.'
Because, you know, even though Longhorn is over a year away we still talk about it in the present tense.
At least if you're within Redmond's Reality Distortion Field, which is growing to be as big if not larger than Jobs'...
...how well these filters will really work.
From what I understand, it's pretty hard to make a good filter that blocks what you want while leaving what you don't unblocked.
Then again, I'm sure China wouldn't mind blocking too much, and would err on the side of blocking too many things.

Just playing devil's advocate.

Yes, thank you. Now it can be indexed.

"ISP loss"? "maximum propelleant value"?
Sheesh, what do you guys think this is, rocket science?

Bad analogy.
IIANNG (I am not a network guy) but my understanding of the process is this:
Your computer says 'hey, anyone have a network here, I need an IP!' and the router picks it up and says 'Here you go'.
That's definatly giving permission.
The door analogy would be more similar to you installing a robot that automatically greets and lets inside anyone who knocks.

None of those witnesses ever claimed that he produced fish out of thin air.
He's referring to that one time that Jesus fed 3000 (or whatever) people with 3 loaves of bread and 5 fish (or whatever the numbers were).

Goldfinger's involved with PETA? I don't keep up with the band, but I have enjoyed what I've heard...
Yes, because the general population could even tell you what a 'virtual workspace' or 'taskbar' was....
'Useful' is in the eye of the beholder...

Out of curiousity (go ahead, mod me offtopic), why do you consider the LP 'insane'?
I think if you click the 'Part of a Compilation' checkbox it won't do that to you.

Calling out the mods is flamebait. You desere either that or offtopic.
This post deserves offtopic as well, which is why I'm disabling my karma bonus.

As a fellow Pitt student, thanks for the info...I wondered why AIM wouldn't direct connect to me, but I could direct connect to others...
Now if I could only get Linux working with our frigging network...
