I find it amusing that your post was modded "funny". My and my wife's wills do in fact have such language in them, as well as a sealed envelope that contains passwords, giving the other permission to access these type of accounts. If we both go at the same time, different people get different types of accounts. For example, my sister will get the social media passwords, but I have a friend that is a big reader that will get my Kindle and Amazon account (and subsequently access to the e-books). IIRC, it was the lawyer that suggested we do this.
What would happen if they figured out a way to release particles of some kind to create a non-solid barrier? A cloud for example is not solid but it can hide the sun.
I have physically removed the CapsLock, NumLock and Ins keys from my keyboard at both home and work. IS keeps offering to replace my "bad" keyboard. NO, YOU CAN'T HAVE IT!
I believe the first natural keyboard was the IBM M series that was split down the middle and in 3 pieces. Left, right and number pad. I would KILL for two of these.
The large system builders (Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc) currently buy the COA sticker only. They are the only SBs that can get it (according to the license.) This product is going away Jan, 30th.
The small independent system builders currently buy OEM software that includes the COA, manual and disc. This is what you commenly get if you order from NewEgg or the like. It is substansially more expensive than the COA sticker only. This product is going away June 30th, 2009.
Best Buy, Circut City and other retailers sell retail boxed product (known as FPP in the channel). This product includes a pretty blue or green box and costs yet more. No system builder in their right mind would buy this for a build. This is also going away June 30th.
There is nothing to stop Dell, HP, Lenovo or any of the large system builders from buying XP from distribution (IM, TD, D&H, etc.) during the first 6 months of 2009. They will pay alot more for it and probably increase the cost of an XP system to cover the cost.
ALL computers loaded with Vista Business and Vista Ultimate include a copy of XPPro. It is part of the downgrade rights that are included with certain Vista licenses.
How is Amazon DRM laden? I've purchased a few hundred $$$ worth since they launched. I downloaded to my home server, and I can play the resulting files on anything i have.
I use one of these at home as well. It does work very well and can be configured in about 10 minutes. Their x-RAID seems to work pretty well too. If you have 4x250 GB HDDs (750GB useable space) and want to upgrade, you just swap the drives one at a time and let the system rebuild between drives.
I'm not sure that Mark was indicting Amazon's service, but rather making a point that the top 100 is more based on real listeners instead of the music industry's idea of what we should be listening to.
As a matter of fact, they can give you a ticket for driving stupid (excessive speeding, failure to yield, weaving, etc.) and they damn well should give tickets to people who drive distracted (eating, talking on a cell phone, yelling at the kids, etc.)
I'd be curious to know what the real outcome of a court case in which someone is charged with a DUI who has blown a zero. I cannot imagine that any conviction would happen or be upheld.
You raise a good point, however, some states have no sales tax. Also, the US does not have a federal sales tax. AFAIK, the only thing that congress could do is ALLOW states to collect tax. I could be wrong, IANAL (or a dumb senator).
That's all well and good; however, in most states (in the US) high school attendance is mandatory. The lawyers should have known better. The judge will undoubtedly frown on this...

Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul. And yes, you're right. Modded Oblivion is one of the best games out there. Cannot wait for Skyrim.
There was a huge train station under the World Trade Center in NYC. Can you imagine what would happen if someone took out Penn Station?

I wish I could mod you higher. I love that movie.
Its Tiberious. Please turn in your geek card on your way out.
I'm absolutely positive that the LHC won't destroy the planet.
If it does, I give you permission to beat me senseless.
A decimeter is about 4 inches. Does that help?

Sadly, the RIAA and MPAA can just as effectively ruin your life (financially anyway) and with a lot less proof.

I hope you're not suggesting that musicians not profit from their music (not that they do now.)
