X is likely to be implemented roughly at the same time hell freezes over
I take it, then, that you've never read Dante's Inferno. FYI, he tells us that the bottom of Hell is a lake of ice. Hell froze over a long, long time ago.
"Your alternative to illegal downloading is a ham sandwich. The plan is to have ham sandwiches be a mandatory part of the meal plan. "
I'd love to see them try that. There'd be lawsuits from every, single observant Jew and Moslem student on First Amendment grounds, and the school would lose them all. ROTFLMAO!
It didn't matter how many video geeks knew and understood that Beta was better than VHS, did it?
Alas for your argument, VHS didn't win because people thought it was better. It won because, unlike BetaMax, you could use a VHS player to make your own recordings. People bought VHS so that they could tape movies, TV shows and sporting events that were on at inconvenient times and watch them at their leisure.
So the gist of TFM is that there's little if any change in Windows iCandy before and after installing SP1, and that copying files still takes much too long. Why bother?
Nixon did a fine job of screwing up your health system.
Yes, but at least I got VA benefits out of the deal. And, I'll probably be getting Agent Orange compensation RSN, thanx to the courts throwing out the old rules about "boots on the ground."
It counts just as much for Barak Obama as it does for Hillary Clinton. I also agree that she's been a great help to her husband. However, what experience does she have being in charge of anything? What has she ever run on her own except, possibly, her campaigns?
emphasis on a critical and objective analysis of the inconsistencies in Hillary's campaign statements - on one hand she's the experience candidate but on the other hand she got tricked into supporting the war. WTF?
Here in California, I heard a lot of Romny ads asking a very pertinent question: just what experience does Hillary really have? Except for Senator, what public office has she held, and what experience does she have running anything? And you know what? I think that's a very good question. I'd like to know just what this experience is that she claims to have, because from where I sit, it doesn't look like it exists.
Lemish advises that parents should give their children the tools to be literate Internet users and most importantly, to talk to their children.
No. I'm sure that almost every parent talks to their children already, and if this study is to be believed, it doesn't do any good. What's needed is for parents to talk with their children, and that includes both listening to what they say and discussing things with them instead of just lecturing them.
That's different, of course. I was presuming that things were done in a more upright fashion, but of course, we are talking about Louisiana. From what I understand, this type of thing will go on as long as, and only as long as the voters are willing to put up with it. In the long run, no machine can stand against a determined voter's revolt.
Who's going to hang out for hours to vote when they're not eligible? You'd be surprised, because there's lots of people who think they're eligible when they aren't. I remember, once, when I was a precinct inspector having somebody insist on voting at my precinct because he'd lived in it up until a year ago. He'd moved out that long ago, never bothered to re-register and insisted on voting. I gave him a provisional just to shut him up, and on the outside I noted that he'd told me how long it had been since he'd lived in the precinct. I'm reasonably sure that the counters took one look at it, laughed and tossed it unopened.
Presumably because they turned out to be invalid. People use a provisional ballot when the precinct isn't able to determine if they're registered to vote, or should be voting at that precinct. These ballots are opened and counted if, and only if it's decided that the person did have the right to vote there. As a former precinct worker, I'm not at all surprised that so many provisionals weren't counted; in fact, I'm almost surprised that so many were.
In this case, theory says that wormholes could exist, but says little if anything about what they'd look like. Before we start looking for evidence, we need to have an idea of what we're looking for and this speculation might give us that. Even if we end up disproving this idea, we've still learned something from it, so it's not completely worthless as long as it makes testable predictions.
since we don't have proof that these things exist, why bother trying to figure out how they could exist...
There's no point in looking for them unless there's a reason to think they exist. Speculating on how they could exist can help us by showing us what evidence we need to decide the question of whether they exist or not. If we do prove they exist, then, and only then will there be any point in looking for them.
I use Fedora, and it's well-known to be a Gnome-centric distro. Sure, you can use KDE if you want, or anything else for that matter. Personally, I'm experimenting with fluxbox because it's so light weight. However, most of the admin tools Fedora provides you with are built around Gnome and work best when you're using Gnome. Writing for Gnome means you're targeting Fedora just as much a SuSe. I guess it was either too much bother for whoever wrote this to check their facts or they were more interested in spreading FUD than in accurate reporting.
The Honeymooners. I don't know if we had a TV early enough for the Cavalcade of Stars and if so, I'm not quite old enough to remember it. And, I was talking about myself only, not the general case.

Are you a vegetarian because you love animals or because you hate plants? Remember, those plants were still alive when you started cooking them.
I take it, then, that you've never read Dante's Inferno. FYI, he tells us that the bottom of Hell is a lake of ice. Hell froze over a long, long time ago.

I have hearing problems. Are they going to put filters into my hearing aids?

Damning with faint praise indeed. Tell me, you've used it, is there really any reason in the world to install Windows iCandy?
Yes, but at least I got VA benefits out of the deal. And, I'll probably be getting Agent Orange compensation RSN, thanx to the courts throwing out the old rules about "boots on the ground."

Yes, but they've been saying that for thirty years now.
Why should we as long as we know how to use them?

Or cadencesmith.us. A domain like that doesn't belong in .com anyway.

And yet, you continue to use it. Why? (Not a troll, I'm seriously interested in your answer.)
Is this your computer we're talking about or your girlfriend. Oh, wait, this is Slashdot, isn't it? Never mind.

Yes, but does it run Linux?
Ah, but you see, there's a difference between them and the ones picked: the ones you list were useful.
