...would impose one of the most extreme bans on municipal involvement in any form of communications--free or otherwise (the bill could ban free library access)
You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means. I believe you mean "taxpayer funded".
*cough*ockham's*razor*cough*p.
William of Ockham was a Franciscan monk who wouldn't approve of you bastardizing his "Principle of Unnecessary Plurality." In all honesty, Ockham's Razor is also used to disprove Evolution. Think of it. Evolution is actually a much more complicated explanation for the existence of life. Creationism relies on one component: God.
But why not just let him say it? By banning it it actually gives what he's saying more weight to those who either already believed him or those who were on the line. The only cure for free speech is more free speech so let Zundel spout his crap and let him be. Besides, most of what he was saying was so ridiculous that it didn't need banning. He claimed the Nazis provided swimming pools for prisoners at Auschwitz for example. Do the Feds really need to step in to shut him up? He's obviously on the fringe as it is. Never mind the Constitution allows him to say whatever he wants (just not whereever or whenever he wants so don't bring out that stupid "Fire" in a theatre analogy. It's stupid.)
It has very few advantages over a Wintel box at the same price - in fact the same money buys you a lot of power in a Windows machine.
This has nothing to do with hardware and everything to do with being able to run OS X natively. Throw in the iLife Suite and now you can see the appeal. I've got my order in.
I mean this is how the process works for any OS. Name the OS or system that doesn't require patches? I just don't see the point of this submission except to imply a Nelson-esque "Ha-Ha" where one isn't required. I run a dual-boot system and surprise, surprise, Linux likes to download fixes as well. In short: Who cares? Next stories: You may have a new e-mail in your inbox: Better check. Or how about: Make sure your version of Quicktime is current.
Maybe not but I have heard MSN used as a verb in the context of instant messaging. "MSN me later." And since the name of the search engine is MSN Search I can definitely see people say MSN it. Conversely, I can see people use the word "google" to mean any type of online search which is precisely why Google fought to keep out of the dictionary. They saw that brands like Kleenex, Escalator, and Hoover became generic and have lost a lot of meaning. In fact, Escalator had to be given up by Otis Elevator because a judge ruled that it had entered the popular language and could no longer be protected as a trademark. So I can see 5 years from now people saying "google it" but heading to MSN Search or whatnot.
...the toughest question the Canadian authorities asked me was "Do you know you have the loveliest accent?
Which is exactly the problem innit? We Canadians apparently have no fucking clue when it comes to border security. I've crossed the border countless times and it's a real joke. The Canadians aren't even armed. These guys are protecting the country and don't have guns. If I were American I'd be all over the Canucks to shape up too.
You don't feed it information in the form of raw data. You need to take it outside and let it live like a human. When I go to a restaurant I know how to order, I know to expect a bill, I know I'm supposed to pay money to the restaurant in exchange for the food I've eaten. I didn't read it in a book. Nobody fed me that information. I learned it through observation and by doing. You're talking about a database, not an intelligence.
Do you think that NCR makes two kinds of ATMs? Drive-thru and walk up? No, they make one standard model that all have Braille keys. If the bank decides to install it in a driveway that's their business. That's why they have Braille on "drive-thru" ATMs.

You mean the US Postal Service?

There's a neat hack here that allows you to do it.
But that's just it. Everything else is moving in the opposite direction.
Let's not forget "Good Vibrations" by the Beach Boys and every horror movie ever made. There's a great documentary about Theremin.
Or display.
I believe it's in the Preamble.
I guess NASA's scienticians have determined there is no life on Mars then? I can't see them killing Martian bacteria just for a little elbow room.
Unless the hardware is an original Apple I. One went for 50 grand. But you can expect between 20 and 30 large.
Who said real life was fun? Why would a game designer set out to replicate real life? Isn't that why I'm playing a game?
Pretty sure the US Patent Office has a say in what is and isn't patentable.

Here's a great article about how worried Google is about their brand becoming a generic term.
It's apparent you have no idea what Googlefight is.
The Apple OS has been "stabilized" for 20 years now; still no games. Sorry dudes. It just ain't gonna happen.

Not very scientific.

You "lug" a floppy disk around? What do you weigh? 50lbs?

Well that's real interesting. Especially as how loved this software when it was Giant's and now that MS has bought it, it's suddenly shite. Gimme a break.
MP3s are consumer electronics now? Does that mean PDFs are too? And maybe DOCs? lol.
