Some on the religious right have come up with a response to the Darwin fish. They don't tear them off, they have a car-fish of a "Jesus" fish eating a "Darwin" fish.
Hey, at least the ownes of those fish are doing it the right way -- replying to speech they don't like with more speech -- instead of trying to ban the other speech.
Disclaimers: I am not a member of the Religious Right. I don't own any kind of car-fish. I don't know for a fact that the "Darwin-eaters" aren't trying to ban Darwin-fish.
Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the V.P. is such a V.I.P., shouldn't we keep the P.C. on the Q.T.? 'Cause if it leaks to the V.C. he could end up M.I.A., and then we'd all be put out in K.P.
I figured it out though, I ran xvidtune until I had the screen the way I liked it, and copied the values shown in xvidtune into the modeline for 1152x864x75.
If the RIAA police nab you in the schoolyard with a CD-R labeled "Britney Spears Greatest Hits", you have an email from Sony that says, "Yes, you can make a copy of this disc."
Yeah, but you have the deterrent effect of having to make it public that you actually *wanted* to copy a Britney Spears silver-disc-with-music-on-it.
-- Side Note: What are DRM'ed silver-discs-with-music-on-them called? They aren't CDs, because they violate the Phillips spec.
Reminds me of a story my old manager once told me.
He was writing some artillery control software, and written a Fire Unit Check routine. He didn't even consider the acronym. Needless to say, at the code review, it got changed.
Yep, now if I could only figure out how to tweak my modeline so that I get 1152x864x75Hz on my Sylvania F74 without having to use xvidtune to right shift the picture, I'd be a happy man. Note: using the 7174 NVIDIA drivers.
we could have had a manned expedition to Mars 20 years ago using Saturn V derivative technology
See Voyage by Stephen Baxter. Lands on Mars by 1986. Very interesting approach to that. Of course, given the (fictional) politics of the novel, all other space science was sacrificed on the altar of Mars.
However, when a law is put forward in a year or two that expands this practice, the ACLU will have lost some credibility on this point (as if they hadn't already) because they opposed a fairly reasonable law.
And if they didn't oppose it now, when a law is put forward in a year or two that expands this practice, TPTB would point out that nobody objected to the previous "reasonable" law, and this is merely a logical extension of it.

One word. "Cairo".

Abortion is based on the right to privacy in this country you are deluded to think that is a rock solid anchor in the constitution to base it on.
The right to privacy is implied by the Fourth and Fifth Amendments, and guaranteed by the Ninth and Tenth.

And you still have to give out the Admin password. Windows has nothing like setuid.
Do you give out the root password to all your *nix boxes?
Not necessarily. Per Falstaff in Henry IV Part 1: "Discretion is the better part of valor".
You had lines of code? Why back in my day, we had to wire the connections up and then read the connections to see what we had written!
Darned kids rassum fassum mumble grumble get off of my lawn!
Even better, "All You Zombies..." by RAH.
gtf gave me the same as the stock modeline.

For example the "Patriot Act" which is anything but patriotic
Actually "PAT RIOT ACT" is an acronym, the real meaning of which escapes me.
You had mitosis? We had to wait for something to fall into the slop and cut us in half!

If I say that a day has 24 hours, I'm pretty precise. (Only about .23 days off)
So 24 hours per day is off by almost one quarter of a day?
So does a day have 29.52 or 18.48 hours?

That's the *only* issue I've had so far.
LE2005 aka 10.2 is much better than 10.1
I couldn't even get 10.1 to boot on my machine (K7T266A), due to the infamous VIA USB bulk-timeout error.
I burnt the 10.2 ISO to a DVD and it booted up, installed, no muss no fuss. No problems with the NVIDIA driver either.
I'll buy that one if they bundle Jessica Alba with it!!!!

Easy. Get Bill Gates (or the Sultan of Brunei) to adopt you. Then put a contract on him.
I thought GNU/Emacs was an operating system! :-)
No, but the Fourteenth applies the First to the States, therefore Utah may pass no law abridging my freedom of speech.
Wouldn't that be Evil Otto?
Chicken! Fight like a robot!

They just need a Federal judge to say so.
Not unless this affects inter-state commerce
Not quite. This is a Civil Rights issue, with Federal jurisdiction through the Fourteenth Amendment.
