17. Employ tactics and/or technologies to prevent the full and complete delivery or display of advertisements on LiveJournal pages. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. Making journal style changes, customizations, or overrides that effectively block or substantially impair the display of advertisements on a Sponsored+ account's Content or other pages within the Service.

Allergies force me to use glasses instead of contacts, and I really miss them.
Some of the advantages contact lenses have over glasses include:
1. When I'm out biking in the rain, I can still see. Raindrops quickly collect on my glasses and make it kind of difficult, if not downright dangerous, to see where I'm going. 2. I gain better peripheral vision. I have almost nil with glasses. 3. I'm not worried about breaking them; they don't snag on things. 4. I can see while I'm kissing without taking them off. Wire frames do tend to get in the way.
If you read the article, there's recommendations on how to avoid some of the common health problems geeks end up having. So that's probably useful to some here.
That would be an interesting question. Even if they didn't have any brick and motar in the US, they'd still be conducting business and taking payments. I'm not sure how their SkypeOut service would work if they didn't have *some* investment in US infastructure, however, and that's how they make their money.
For the same reason the EU can sue Microsoft using EU laws when Microsoft isn't in the US. Being a business operating in the US, they have to conduct themselves according to US laws.
And that's the young boy car crazed contingent. I have a four year old nephew absolutely obssessed with cars. It doesn't matter whether Cars is the worst movie of Disney and Pixar combined. He will go see it, because he has been waiting with baited breath now for a year ever since he's seen the first trailers, the ones that don't hold my interest, either. Maybe he will see it multiple times. And then his mother will buy the video for him when it comes out because he will de facto love it so much. And if any toy car merchandising comes out, I'm sure he'll pick up a few pieces of that.
All of this just because he loooooooooves cars. It's like a gold mine.
MySpace may be free, but it's ugly and slow and awkwardly designed and full of stupid people who design their profiles to make my eyes bleed. Music videos embedded into profiles make baby Jesus cry.
Don't get me wrong, but I don't see what the hell that had to do with my comment. I don't think Milkdrop is patented, it was just closed source -- isn't that exactly what you're talking about? Copyright and licenses doing its work?
Am I wrong here -- is Milkdrop patented or something?
Did you actually read the article, or does your reading comprehension just really suck?
The point is to make a start up and then get bought up by the bigger companies, not "make money fast by selling stuff on the Internet", although if that does happen I'm sure nobody would complain.
Given the focus of your listed website (assuming it is yours, which is likely considering your/. name!), I'm not sure where your complaints are coming from -- it seems that to some extent you've done what he's talking about!
Although personally it would creep the heebie jeebies out of me to do what he's suggesting. I don't see how the failure rates and resulting debt would be encouragement to dive in!
Cmd-Tab switches between applications, Cmd-` switches between application windows. I used to get just as frustrated navigating as you until I learned that!
I believe if we look at the record of vulnerabilities in all current DRM solutions by any vendor, we can conclude that it's more an issue of DRM not working than an OS issue overall.
Not that Apple is perfect by any means, I just think the analogy is somewhat flawed.

Here it is on Amazon.com, seems it's out of print! I didn't realize that.
Does anyone remember Frank Herbert's book "The White Plague"?

That page shows that they have five job vacancies in the US, so I'm led to assume they do have a US presence.

Don't you mean never?

How very true; I should have worded things differently!
The ease of donation of gametes differs between the sexes...is that better?
I think I'm in the same camp as you, but the two situations are completely different.
Sperm donation is extraordinarily easy. Egg donation requires weeks of hormone therapy and an invasive surgery.
The Brick Testament is the Bible enacted all out of Legos, and if religion isn't your thing there's always Lego Porn.
Taking the mean and adding/subtracting the standard deviation. Seems like one good way to do it.
I have a Powerbook 15" and there's an F12 that brings up Dashboard.
From sniffing around the comments, it looks like Milkdrop has already been ported to places! Time to find an OS X port!
If not, it'll be an interesting work -- it would have to be ported from DirectX first to OpenGL.

At this point I will ask you to notice the incestuous connotations in my list of MilkDrop AssKicking as well.
Heck, I think Milkdrop just achieved what Lazarus Long could not.
Reasons Why Milkdrop Kicks Ass:
It's time to learn how to port that sucker to the *Nixes (Linux, BSD, OS X)! I haven't been in Windows enough to enjoy it for a very long time.

Yes, but then the new momma gets to shoot the Daddy! I don't think that one is too overly used.
