I was working in the realm of CHI, and had come up with the concept that whatever you're looking at *now* is most important, so I had come up with the concept of "bifocal text windows", where you had a bifocal effect, making a part of the text larger.
The HBO Exec should have renamed it "Fuzzy Bunny Enablement". It's cute and warm and cuddly, and if you're against cute fuzzy bunnies, you must be a terrorist!
Yes, and since parties are essentially private entities, my question is, why is the state involved in paying for and running the party primaries at taxpayer expense?
Instead of "Winner Take All", since electoral votes are allocated on the basis of House and Senate representation, I propose:
The winner in each Congressional district receives one electoral vote. The overall winner in each state receives the two votes allocated due to Senate representation.
Except that's not the whole item. Verizon is not petitioning the government for redress of grievance, which is the whole thing. I fail to see who this is petitioning the government at all.

Just because distribution is easier on the internet does not give anyone with access to a computer the right to distribute content they do not hold the copyrights to.
Who said anything about that?
I buy a [HD-]DVD. I want to play it on my $OS-OF-CHOICE box, as well as my set-top box. However the [HD-]DVD consortium refuses to license a $OS-OF-CHOICE player. Therefore, I need to crack their DRM to make use of my legally purchased [HD-]DVD.
I was under the impress that the olympics made money for the cities, even including the cost of building venues.
Montreal lost somewhere in the vicinity of $1Billion (whether US or Canadian, I don't know).
Although I think that Atlanta was the first city to make money
Los Angeles, 1984. L.A. got it pretty much by default -- nobody else wanted it after the Montreal debacle. The LAOOC were the ones who kicked off the corporatization. IIRC, decathlete gold medalist Daley Thomson wore a T-shirt at the closing ceremonies complaining about the advertising.

Yo, Mr. IOC. We think you should ban all sports where them there furriners do better than us red-blooded Americans! Or you should change the rules so that us 'Mericans can beat them lousy furriners!
Why, we have to come up with more inspirational stories about a brave American who overcame a hangnail to fill time, when we can't show an American winning a gold medal! </NBC;>
Slashdot Mirror
and more to do with Mr McCrackens laywers threatening to bitch slap them with a suit for unfair dismissal
What unfair dismissal? McCracken *quit*. He was right to do so, but there is no unfair dismissal suit there.
This sounds like my (abandoned) Masters thesis.
Seriously.

You are poking yourself in the eye with a sharp stick. Cancel or Allow?
OK, we get the idea. Bush is stupid. Ha ha.
Do we have to have this in every fucking thread?
There are a lot of other reasons to dislike Bush, most notably his use of the Constitution for toilet paper.
(Emphasis is mine).The First Amendment
When writing code, it *is* reasonable.
I once commented that a certain customer didn't understand the concept of "healthy paranoia".
NT4 SP6, I believe SP6a was the fix.
Moderate +1 -- Funny but sadly true
You mean like the ACM Code of Ethics?
INT 3 on x86.
Except for one thing... That's not what they're selling.
They are selling you an entire physical copy, which you can do whatever the hell you want, short of selling copies.
Look at their advertising. They don't say, "Purchase a license to private exhibition today!" They say, "Own it on HD-DVD, today!!!".

Didn't the Berkeley FFS do that back in the '80s?

In other news, The USOC has pushed the IOC to Diebold to do all the voting machines for the judged sports...
Damn. I need to learn how to use preview :-)

This is solely my opinion of NBC's coverage.
At least in the laptop arena, it's a big thing, because the hardware is pretty much guaranteed to work.
Mod parent up.
About 10 years ago, I bought my mother a t-shirt to wear when voting. It said, "I'm from Chicago... TWO BALLOTS PLEASE".
She thought it was hysterical.
No, mercury is fairly toxic to humans. :-)
I think it's time to go to the "Other, Other Operation".
