it will go to the Supreme Court and if it's Unconstitutional, it'll get outlawed.
Because we all know the Supreme Court is (1) apolitical and (2) infallible. If there's serious question about the Constitutionality of a law, it is the responsibility to Congress not to pass it in the first place.
To do otherwise displays contempt for the Constitution and their oath of office. It's never OK to go along with violating people's rights on the theory that the Supreme Court will eventually put a stop to it. Unless somehow they can "make it didn't happen" for every last person whose rights were trampled on in the interim.
It might beam directed, visible light right into someone's eyes if by chance the person's glasses are mistakes as camera lenses.
That's how I read it, and there's the problem. Even if there's no risk to the eyes themselves, it opens up a huge potential for liability from people being suddenly (temporarily) blinded and/or startled while engaged in something risky - using power tools, pouring a cup of scalding hot coffee, handling then dropping fragile/expensive equipment...
When I'm out and about, driving, I've got more than an iPod offers.
It's a matter of listening habits. Many people, myself included, get sudden urges to hear particular songs or groups as we're seized by a mood. You appear to not be so afflicted and are therefore content to listen to whatever genre you tune your satellite radio to - your need for "particular music" is less specific than that of others.
The only places in Australia where you may legally sell X-rated materials are in the two territories; i.e. Northern Territory and Australian Capital Territory
Are you sure on that? I travelled Oz in early 2001 and had the misfortune of staying in a motel on Hindley Street in Adelaide; turned out to be the seedier section of the city and there were many shops selling both printed and DVD porn openly.
All things considered, though, a great vacation. Fantastic country, you have there.
If you just want to have it to refer to very infrequently and (possibly) print a page, look into having it filmed as microfiche. Viewers are fairly cheap and in a pinch a strong lens (loupe, possibly) will do.
Many libraries will have reader-printers that for a small fee (eg, $0.20/page?) you can print a copy.
Most of the expense with fiche is the production of the silver halide original; diazo copies are relatively cheap. If it's really important to you, have a copy made and lock the original film in a safe deposit box (or at least offsite)
I was disappointed that they skipped over iPod Milli and iPod Micro. I can't see myself keeping a straight face talking about an iPod Atto or, worse, and iPod Femto.
Why should I learn those mainframe operating systems?
One word: context
Without understanding where we came from, understanding where we're going is much harder. Knowing what's been tried before - and either abandoned or kept - might also keep you from re-inventing the wheel.
The key is that Apple are extremely unlikely to lose many of their existing sales to this as very few Apple users will be interested in running unsupported.
That might be true in a business setting, but I tend to doubt it for home users. I've run Macs since OS 7.1 and never needed support in any for from Apple. Then again, I didn't mind doing the extension-conflict-shuffle-boot myself, either...
I'm not sure how recent that is, given that later in the same undated page I see:
Should Russia drop out of the space station project after the election, NASA has devised a backup plan to build the key core modules Russia is providing for the station.
That seems to hint at something pre-Columbia. In any case, aside from some anecdotal reports of lung and eye irritation the article you cited doesn't really support the notion that there's any significant long term effect from launches, even when they go awry:
French administrator Pierre Dartout reported that instruments at the launch site detected no traces of hydrochloric acid after the explosion. Meanwhile, French environmental minister Corrine Lepage reported that a hydrochloric acid levels of 5 parts per million were detected. The safe limit for hydrochloric acid in the atmosphere is 80 ppm.
Fair enough; my opinion of the NYT has lagged behind the reality. I'm not yet ready to accept the National Enquirer as anything more than fishwrap, however.
If a publication (left wing or right) has such a clear bias that calls into question its' credibility, it's useless as a source of facts. The most one can use it for is to note that they reported something truthfully after having ascertained the truth (or some approximation) elsewhere.
What's the point of reading it if you need to verify everything elsewhere? Of course, reading multiple sources with divergent viewpoints is a good thing, but one needs to keep in mind that items read in the NYT generally have more credibility than those in the National Enquirer. Unless the author is Judith Miller, of course.

Unless they do the serial number that way too, then make it $1.50 maybe.

I miss Univac 1100 and Honeywell 6000...
Behind schedule already, I see.
Has the genius who thought it was a good idea to tape the passwords to the laptops been charged with maintaining an attractive nuisance?
Didn't think so. Perhaps letters to the chief of police will prod him in that direction. But I doubt it.
On the upside, it's not like I have anything better to do than wait on hold for hours on end.
Soylent Green. It's who's for dinner.
A vertical run of conduit (hopefully through closets) from basement to attic will likely save you headaches later.
Does the awarding of mod points disable sarcasm detection or something?

Yeah, it's a right wing rag. (not to imply that there aren't a lot of left wing rags, too)
