"You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline - it helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer."

Easy there hoss, your painting Protestants with a pretty broad brush. The Fundies are only a small (very small) but vocal minority in the scope of Protestantism.
I think I still have issues of "Hardcore Computist" (mostly Apple ][ & \\e related) on a bookcase at home. A number of hardware hacks and interesting software to bang in line by line. Of course the first program to write was the checksum calculator to verify the what you typed matched what was printed.
Somewhat unrelated but for NUCL-190 at Purdue I wrote some nuclear reactor simulations on the \\e, to calculate energy output for different reactor geometries. That class was my best grade that semester, but I ended up changing majors anyway.

Setting aside your disregard for the Star Wars reference (turn in your geek card as you leave) I still consider you an optimist in your calculation of the odds of seeing Addblock Plus in the App Store.
It looks to me like this is only a problem if either you are updating your status on your yahoo profile or have linked your facebook/twitter/other social media to your yahoo account. If you have doen either of these things then you probably intended to share it right?
This was either blatant theft or an accounting error. That the thing being stolen or misfiled had the word "DRM" in its description is pretty much unrelated.
You are forgetting the other option, WB may honestly believe that the patent in question is invalid/unenforcable. Watermarking digital files has been around a long time, and as others have pointed out watermarking and other marking of physical goods has been going on for centuries. WB might be able to make the claim that this is obvious and therefore not patentable. Will be interesting to watch this unfold.
I don't know if you (or anyone else) remember the "Global Link" handheld computers in the science fiction series "Earth: Final Conflict". It was a compact device that slid open to reveal what had to be a rolled up screen. Similar to the mockup on this page: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/perlow/google-and-sirius-xm-build-my-dream-handheld/9233 I've been waiting 13 years for them to build one.

... Likewise, banks have to put braille on their ATMs, ...
Even the drive up ones! Also braille on elevator buttons in the parking garage.
I did know that, and have drank Kingfisher, but the quote still seemed appropriate.

I say we keep it hush hush
I thought "on the down low" meant something else and well...
... when exposed to corrected facts in news stories.
Perhaps because we have learned to distrust the news providers?
... However the USPS is not a govt agency, govt funded maybe but not direct govt.
Interesting that on USA.gov where they list all the government agencies they list the postal service. http://www.usa.gov/Agencies/Federal/All_Agencies/P.shtml
Also my two BIL's that work for the post office are in the government retirement plan and don't get social security.
So you can't shove your letters in the slot after hours?
I would prefer to see them drop say Thursday deliveries and deliver Mon-Wed, Fri-Sat.
sigh.... targeted to the printer...
The first planned spam...is a coupon for ink.
Guess I'll miss out on the coupon, since inbound messages from outside my network that are targeted to the router will be blocked at the router.

The phrase your looking for is "approaches unity"
Amen! I mostly listen to http://www.897theriver.com/ from Iowa Western Community College which does have a 100,000 watt transmitter a covers a fairly significant area http://www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/FMTV-service-area?x=FM34155.html
Didn't he start out with "I don't know if you've ever seen this."

Cellular phones were never the size of a briefcase.
Granted not technically "Cellular" technology but briefcase phones did exist using VHF and UHF frequencies. http://www.privateline.com/IMTS/briefcasephotos.htm http://www.privateline.com/IMTS/briefcase2.htm

The probably are just repackaging oxyclean and marking up the price.

But exif data is easily editable. It would be more troubling if the camera stored the info steganographicly within the image itself.
Seats 7 I believe.

If you simply do a Google search on "length of a football field" at least the first page of answers will say 360 feet.
Yes, my point exactly.
