One example, from Greek - most languages have support for being able to mix up the words in a sentence and come out with the exact same basic meaning whilst allowing the speaker to put more emphasis on certain items. From my Greek Book (Alpha to Omega by Anne Groton - I have an older edition than that one) is:
The dog chased the cat
Greek allows you to write it, keeping the same exact meaning, as "the dog the cat chased", "the cat the dog chased", "chased the cat the dog", "chased the dog the cat", "the cat chased the dog". Now looking at the English of that, most of it makes no sense, and one variation has a completely different meaning.
I don't know how Greek emphasis works but in English you can also use a few extra linking words and occasional changes of word variant (Chased/Chasing) to do something similar:-
"the dog the cat chased" becomes "The dog and the cat he chased" (Emphasis on the dog and cat in that order)
"the cat the dog chased" still works or you have "The cat that the dog chased" or "The cat that was chased by the dog" (Emphasis on the cat)
"chased the cat the dog" becomes "Chased the cat did the dog" or "Chasing the cat was the dog" (Emphasis on the chase of the cat)
"chased the dog the cat" becomes "Chased by the dog was the cat" (Emphasis on the chase by the dog)
"the cat chased the dog" becomes "The cat was chased by the dog" (Emphasis on the cat being chased)
and "In the chase the dog was after the cat" (Emphasis on the chase)
and "The dog who was chasing the cat" (Emphasis on the dog)
and "The cat and the dog that chased it" (Emphasis on the cat and dog in that order)
In other words it is simply a different technique, not a different capability.
And for that matter there are also the typographical techniques of Bold/Italic/Underline/ALL CAPS or the verbal and/or body language equivalents for spoken speech.
So allowing for all this methods why do you think the ability to add emphasis simply by mixing up words is an advantageous technique in a language?
And further more had been specifically asked in advance if they would count them seperately, or as 1, and promised that they would count them seperately.
Well one aspect that has been mostly ignored in this conversation is that it is normally NOT the police that are watching you (in the UK). Even on just official (i.e. not business owned) cameras then it is normally local Council employees viewing them. (see http://www.islington.gov.uk/Council/CouncilNews/Pr essOffice/2006/07/2562.asp and http://www.broxtowe.gov.uk/crime_cctv.htm) Even worse these may be a private company hired in (see "because this is a drain on police resources, many city councils have maintained ownership of the systems themselves, hiring private security companies to monitor the cameras" http://www.securitymanagement.com/library/000138.h tml which seems to be a PRO-camera piece!)
In the USA you might like to consider the fact that you have nothing like our Data Protection Act so any footage that they record can be used for ANY purpose what so ever. (IANAL and IIRC this has already been tested in your courts, think Police Camera shows, but of private and legal actions, or candid camera without the need to get permission)
I would also point out that you can normally SEE that you are being watched by a person, and then choose not to, say adjust your clothing, but you can often not tell if a camera is even present, let alone if anyone is watching its output.
How about a window (above or to the left perhaps?) with a command history (double click to put IN the command line at current insert point, also with copy & paste capability)?
And a window (below or to the right perhaps?) with a automatic display of relevent man page(s) (with a lock button to keep a page in view even when you go to a different command, perhaps also with the ability to click on any sub-topics which action should turn on the lock?)?
The display of both windows being a user preference of cause.
"art, literature, philosophy, politics, friendship, and all the other illogical things we do that have no survival value, but which lend value to survival."
Actually all of the above do help survival, they all encourage, or are parts of, social cohesion, which creates larger group (societies) instead of disparate smaller groups (e.g. families/individuals). These larger groups have advantages over the smaller groups. (Pooling of resources in lean times, killing of larger prey animals, defense from predators etc.)
Even religion fits that category, for instance, in its role of social groups dynamics (rules for living together-e.g. Thou shalt not kill) enforcement.
If it were funded from taxation then the government of the day would have too big a stick when "suggesting" that they behave "better" or "more responsibly".
We have already seen what can happen even without that with the effects of the David Kelly affair.
One extra I would note, If you sponser a show then get a number of DIFFERENT (preferably funny) tag clips to put at the start and end of the ad breaks, seeing/hearing the same thing (twice!) at each and every ad break gets old really fast.

I can confirm this, my source... The modified terms and conditions when they issued the chipped card.
I would also like to point out that with a signature you can get an expert witness to determine that you are not the one who signed, but the only possible PIN recourse is if you can prove you were elsewhere AND had your card with you. (Otherwise they can claim it was used with your permission!)
