I don't know where you heard that. Wikipedia suggests they use cane, which makes sense to me since they produce over 400 million tonnes of it, twice as much as anyone else in the world.

So we don't use sugar at the choice of the sugar producers. That doesn't seem to make too much sense.
No, you don't use sugar because you don't want to import it from Brazil, the largest sugarcane producer in the world. Sugarcane doesn't grow as well in the US so it chooses to use something that does grow well: Corn. Hence high fructose corn syrup.
Sure it is stupid but being able to embed absolutely anything in a Word document is an easy way to get past email filters that strip any attachments except MS Office files.

"you should not make any copies of any part of this website in any way"
Of course, I'm in trouble too because the every act of viewing their page required me to download a copy of it. I suppose they could put their website on a CD, then mail it to everybody who calls in and asks to visit their website.
Hold on there! They are allowed to have copyright on their site, and that doesn't hinder you "copying" it to view it. The copyright is to protect them from you using their design, layout, code, images on your own site.
Perhaps this is how multiplication is done in OOXML. Well I looked in the OOXML but it seems to get it right.
The bug "works" for me (i.e., I get 100000 instead of 65534), and below is a snippet from the xml file. It seems to show that the maths is correct, and the screw up occurs only when displayed.
- <c r="C2"> <f>850*(10+67.1)</f> <v>65534.999999999993</v> <-- Displays as 100000 </c>
- <c r="D2"> <f>C2+2</f> <v>65537</v> <-- Displays as 100001 </c>
- <c r="E2"> <f>C2-1</f> <v>65533.999999999993</v> <-- Displays as 65534 </c>
- <c r="D3"> <f>C2/1</f> <v>65534.999999999993</v> <-- Displays as 100000 </c> - <c r="E3"> <f>C2*1</f> <v>65534.999999999993</v> <-- Displays as 100000 </c>
"Dampen" doesn't mean what you think it means. Or rather, it wouldn't if people would stop adding superfluous letters to seem more intelligent.
The word is damp. The infinitive is "to damp" and a device which damps is a damper. There's no need for the extra -en unless you want to have a confusing half-synonym for moisten.
Care to back that up? No source that I could find online supported your claim. All I found was this: (from dict.die.net) Source: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)
Damp \Damp\, v. i. [imp. & p. p. Damped; p. pr. & vb. n.
Damping.] [OE. dampen to choke, suffocate. See Damp, n.]
2. To put out, as fire; to depress or deject; to deaden; to
cloud; to check or restrain, as action or vigor; to make
dull; to weaken; to discourage.
Yeah, except the contract (which the customer probably didn't bother to read) likely specifies that the customer isn't allowed to host servers on their connection (web, smtp, bittorrent, or otherwise). I'm not sure if bittorrent should count as a server. It doesn't fit into the traditional client server model at all. And if the only thing that makes it count as a server is the uploading of data then what about things like Skype or a multiplayer game?
ISPs have got themselves into a bad spot by overselling and under cutting and the only way they can deal with it is by making their customers suffer...
Before bittorrent most people had no idea where or how to download movies on the internet. Sure they did, it was called Kazaa lite and it was the greatest thing ever. The only problem was that they were on dial-up or something similarly slow. Bit torrent is great, but the fact that you need to find a client and a tracker and a torrent file puts it out of reach of a large group.
A look at aspartame's ingredients and its devastating effects on human beings provide the evidence for avoiding all aspartame products.
I'm looking at the ingredients of aspartame, I'm not sure which bit is supposed to be so evil. Is it the benzene ring, the methyl ester, or the amines? Or is it that you don't like that it is made of amino acids, aspartic acid and phenylalanine?
Absolutely nothing to do with the New Jersey Turnpike in particular at all.

Indeed we don't need someone to teach us speech, walking or fine motor control but reading is quite different. If everyone learns to do it without direct teaching, why we would we talk about literacy levels? Only those who have physical/mental impairments would be unable.

It seems to allow the President to impose martial law on any state or territory,
Actually, the Constitution allows that, in Article 1, section 9. The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.
At my university we have recordings of lectures available to download. Generally I don't use them but they are handy if I have missed the lecture or want to go over it again at home. The kids who skip the lectures and say they will watch it later generally don't, but some people I know will stay home if they only have 1 class and do it there so they don't have to make the trip to uni.
We only have access to the lectures of the courses we are enrolled in. At my uni attendence is not required for lectures, only for tutorials and labs, so people skipping class will only indirectly affect their marks.
hehe, I remember plugging a second mouse into my older brother's computer, hiding the cable and then putting the mouse on my desk. He wouldn't notice anything was wrong until I started laughing. It was fun until he caught up with me.
Another trick I remember was recalibrating the mouse so that moving it wouldn't move straight up and down. Funny though I can't find the setting for it here in win xp.
Well if you can come up with a good reason why the current anti-trust laws are broken/stupid etc then you might be able to change people's minds. It seems that most people here (except perhaps Microsoft fanboys) are happy with the way the law tries to stop Microsoft from causing too much havoc in the world.
On the other hand DMCA, patent laws, etc. seem to be broken in favour of big business. The same big businesses that control the government. I'm sure you can figure out what is wrong here.
Trains -> Big boxes on wheels.
ID Systems -> Identify me. To others.
Trains -> Move stuff.
ID Systems -> Limit my freedom and privacy. Because they identify me. To others.
That's terrible logic. I could say the same about trains.
Trains -> Limit my freedom and privacy. Because they move stuff. To places. (Prison camps perhaps?)
So the parts of the internet that are made in Europe, Asia, Australia, Canada etc should also be controlled by the US because the US makes the servers/network in the US?
Feel free to disconnect from our network and start your own if you don't like our rules
See thats the thing, the US doesn't own the internet and if the EU decided to break off it wouldn't be starting its own, it would just be a schism in the interet and that would be a bad thing.
