It is common knowledge that once you let the magic smoke out, electronics never work quite the same as before.
Now, with the charcoal filter, we won't know when
electronics get broken.:-)
You forgot that Disney owns many other companies. (Disney's music division includes Walt Disney Records, Mammoth Records, Lyric Street Records, and Hollywood Records)
A Wikipedia entry is only as trustable as the most recent person who edited it.
Encarta is MUCH WORSE. Just a random example I checked recently: in the first three paragraph of "History of Romania", in Encarta there are 5 (five) factual errors.
In Wikipedia, I watch these pages regularly, so I would contestate any bias or factual errors added.
The only part that is a parody is the Indian that said "This was my land" and then the symbols of consumerism (ads) arise and they all say "But now it's our land".
The US Founding Fathers wanted copyright to last only 14 years. There's no reason for a longer term.
A shorter term of copyright protection would in fact encourage creation. Every artist/writer that lives on twenty years old works and has nothing new does not deserve this subsidy. As, when the artist is dead and the great-great-grandsons get the money -- what's the point ?
Also, there were some statistics that from the books published in the 1930s, more than 80% of them are currently out of print, and some literary gems that had only a small number of copies printed, can be very hard to find and may even be lost for future generation.
You know how the Microsoft employees do: Once in a while they press several times the "Build All" button, so their bosses think they've been working hard.
engineers will upload a software hack to decrease the recent power drain plaguing the rover Opportunity.
The problem was probably caused by some incompatibility in the Java system.:-)
Thank God they're not using Visual Basic.
Microsoft does not like keeping simple things simple.
Like Einstein said:
"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex and more violent. It takes a touch of genius-and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction."
If the open-source tries to keep things small, simple and peaceful, they will prevail.
Unfortunatelly, the main problem on open-source is simplicity, as many contributors to this community would rather choose an insignifiant performance increase instead of simplicity.
The first time I saw one of these was in Luxemburg. It was a Saturday morning, around 10 AM and there was nobody around. I guess the Luxemburgers like the luxury of getting up late on Saturdays:-).
Anyway, as an Eastern European in a Western country, I was waiting for the light to change to red for a couple of minutes. It didn't. As there was no car and nobody around, I crossed the street and noticed the button on the other side.

God: Nietzsche is dead
SCO: Linux is dead.
..a bit later:
Linux: SCO is dead.
Exactly. The last thing we need is taxi drivers violating the laws of gravity.

You should also note that most pirated div-x movies have 700 MB (to fit on a CD).
According to Dictionary.com, ferret is derived a Latin word meaning "thief" (fur). :)
US has 5% of the world's population and 50% of the world's spending on military and it's not enough ?

Where can we find the downloadable version ? ;-)

The should also be drunk for rating your post Informative. :-)

That's a 60.96 cm square, thus having a diagonal of 86.26 cm.

Probably they put the animated "Clippy" on the Start button.
Excellent site.
And it looks very authentic! The FrontPage design, the incompatibility with non-IE browsers, the self-linking, the free counter, etc.
Actually it was revealed that the panel was sticky. The NASA engineers don't want to discuss about the source of stickiness.
