psst: you realise you've been eating insect[-derived matter] all this time, right? Cochineal is the most common example, I think.
Here's another idea though: your culture finding it so repellant has no bearing on "many others". Trust me, there are many more people out there who do, or would eat insects than otherwise. Welcome to the minority!

You want a headless system with a high-end video output? Other than gpu-based dev work - something sufficiently specialised to warrant a diy build -, where's the need coming from?
Last time I checked, software (i.e. the OS) ran on the hardware, not the other way around.
And if this thing is just a solar charger - admittedly a pretty cool one - where's the linux tie-in? My USB charger works with my phone (that runs on Android*, incidentally). Does that make it big Android news?
...the result is that only one or two selections are visible at one time.
Stop (collaborate and listen!) - I agree the XBMC ribbon isn't the greatest implementation, but don't introduce hyperbole into your argument - the screenshot you reference clearly shows 3.5 selectors, with 4 selectors most likely being accessible at the same time. That's a far cry from "one or two".
(And does anyone actually use XBMC as a photo gallery? First thing I did was go into the system menu and disable half of the services: I want to watch T.V. and Movies, and access some Apps, maybe some Music worked out ok for me, but obviously YMDV).
Or maybe just "real life"; the White Album has been re-released a few times, and the "true fans" (or whatever) can be relied upon to go and buy the latest and greatest... (sound familiar?)
With a large bunch of sysadmins, everyone had their own naming schema. Yeah, you try and get 4 argue-for-the-sake-of-it types to agree on something so trivia^H^H^H important.
So we used CNAMEs to give context to the server. apps-prod-3, db-dev etc. All connectivity went through the CNAME... except for the sysadmins I guess. This made life really easy when replacing servers - update dns, drop the virtual iface on the old one, plumb it up on the new.
good! my macbook optical drive has been broken for ages - to be honest, i only noticed a few months ago when a friend asked me to try reading their newly purchased DVD, because their computer was buggered.
I think you'll find the NAA isn't a Federal Government Agency; I think it might be a cultural institution. The distinction is important for things like legislation and accountability.
nowhere in the linked articles are references to the emergency services numbers (911 in USA, 000 in Australia). While including these references has made for some funny posts, it really is quite misleading.
the second link talks specifically about bravehearts, which is a childrens help service for all kinds of abuse. there are also services like the kids help line, a well known Australian organisation along similar lines. My understanding is this "panic button" would relay to these sort of services, which is quite appropriate.
So thanks for the laughs, but how about giving more representative by-lines? I know it's asking a lot...
my only gripe with the new apple keyboard is that the caps lock key has a hard-wired delay, which makes it less suitable to being used as ctrl (my personal preference).
why oh why couldn't they make this a software-configurable option?
The locals prefer Myanmar as well. Burma is a colonial name derived from a particular race living in a region of Myanmar / Burma, where in fact there are numerous.
exactly, do you pirate TV shows?... you have also been able to record from the TV for a very long time
In fact, it has only been a recent development where recording a TV show to VHS or similar *hasn't* been illegal in Australia. The only provision for personal media recording used to be for live performances.

* yes, I see what I did. wonder why...

Sounds like you want Kryten, vacuum cleaner attachment style
Keep in mind this Reinheitsgebot thingy first came to light in 1516. I think our notion of "pure" has changed somewhat since then...
Not to be rude, but I imagine a few select theatres in Japan will be somewhat technologically superior to the equivalent in San Antonio...
Ever heard of a library? They have special rights also.

afaik, IA are covered on the basis all archived material is publicly accessible, coupled with a straightforward removal process for copyright holders.

But at what cost? Arguably the entire south east asia region for a start.
There's been renewed media interest on this topic recently in Australia, not sure what brought it about though.
ugh, forgot to provide link: http://themusicsalon.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/now-i-have-to-buy-white-album-again.html
Why?
Men In Black reference?

I'm pretty sure Michael wouldn't care less about "Sarah Palin" being a trademark, just like my cousin Sarah.
I stand corrected - thanks :)

I feel the same about this that I felt about the Iraq war and Saddam Hussein.
i'm sorry but to equate war, ethnic cleansing and the like with a sometimes shady payment gateway is naive at best, offensive at worst.
yeah, i watched the terrible remake of "the day the earth stood still" as well.

meh, bring on the smell-o-scope i say. it's got your et life right there.
and what does dark matter smell like? why, burnt toast of course.
Actually, a few Formula 1 teams are adopting a flywheel solution to implement KERS (Kinetic Energery Recovery System) for the upcoming 2009 season.

From memory, BMW and Ferrari have opted for different technology though.
