Well, m-w.com lists 'actual' as an antonym of virtual, so that would mean that a virtually indestructible keyboard is the opposite of an actually indestructible keyboard.
Only one of the Florida conspirators has come fessed up about Florida erasing black folks from the roles under pretense of their being "felons".
I'd like to see a reference if you've got one!
An official with ChoicePoint/DBT (the third party that did the role cleansing) mysteriously died in an aviation accident.
A significant number of Clinton opponents and associates who could have implicated them (if the implications were true) have turned up dead as well. Now I'm not saying that I believe the Clintons are mass murderers, but for everything that happens in relating to the public eye, there is a nutty conspiracy theory.
"Trust us, we're the government" doesn't carry any weight
Actually, in this case it's not the government that we're being asked to trust. It's companies producing demonstrably untrustworthy products.
Unlike many (apparently) on/., I don't fear government-backed vote rigging being more likely due to e-voting. There are plenty of examples of this using old techniques...Plus, taking advantage of this on a national scale would require a rather elaborate conspiracy, and I don't believe that the conspirators would trustworthy enough to keep quiet about it...
As long as we have a multi-party system, instead of a single-party or 'power and opposition' system, allegations of rigged votes will get attention.
And I know that this being/. that somebody will reply saying that Bush used the supreme court to steal his way to the presidency. However, perhaps you should read this article before replying.
The only thing obscene about it is the flavor of those McGriddles(tm). I tried one, and after a couple of bites lost my appetite. I'll stick with a nice bacon egg and cheese biscuit, thank you very much!
a little cannibalism among friends never hurt anyone
These guys certainly agree with you. Yet still, the survivor is on trial.

That said, there has been an increase in the solar output. The number of sun spots at solar peak is increasing steadily. And the Mars polar cap is melting, which is consistent with the solar output increase observation.
Good god. I had no idea that our carbon emissions could have such far-ranging side effects as altering the sun or causing global warming on Mars. Perhaps the mission to colonize mars is too late...This is a dark day for mankind, indeed.
If Turbine can put out a decent MMPORG (which is likely), they will be getting all of the profits generated by the subscribers. And once they pay back the venture capitol, they will quite likely still be pulling in money from the MMPORG, and own the rights to the sequel them selves.
Actually, you're describing a loan. Venture Capital buys a stake in a private company, and they intend to get their money back by selling that stake later, likely after the company IPOs. Venture Capital firms typically only give money in exchange for some level of control in the company affairs, as well, so if Turbine fails, the head of the company will likely be gone, with the VCs taking control and installing 'their' management.
So yes, Turbine may own the rights to the sequels (not in this case, though, their products are licenses, the license owners almost certainly retained the rights), but now the VCs own the rights to the company. And just to make you feel worse, VCs make Lawyers look soft and cuddly.
I was the lead on a fairly successful commercial (does that make me evil?) PNG based web imaging product for several years. It fully supports all the other image formats that people use, though, and unsurprisingly those are what everybody uses!
My response was that the parent was saying that somebody had to come up with the PNG of filesystems, which would mean a filesystem that had some small technical merits over the current overwhelming defacto standards, but that those small advantages, both technical and financial, would be meaningless compared to the irresistable powers of inertia and the network effect.
The cost of something is often much different than the 'cash' paid for it, and the 'value proposition' of something is not higher just because it costs less.
I'm not so concerned with the global warming/cooling. I think that all sane people will agree that it is now cooler than when the dinosaurs roamed the earth, warmer than the mini-ice age.
SO where is the PNG equivelent for FAT? When Unisys pulled this crap with GIF alot of places went with PNG.
Ah, yes...I forgot about that. That's why all of the image graphics on the internet are in PNG format, not GIF! Ooops, I guess that/. must have missed the boat, they've still got GIF images all over the place...
So now that China says "we wanna see too", the U.S. is saying to themselves "we gotta go back there and clean up our 'stuff'. but if we do that everyone will wonder why we said theres nothing worth looking at on the moon. i know, lets say we have to do a mars practice run and we will use the moon as our place of practice".
Ok, call me a sucker, I'll bite.
What, pray tell, do you propose that the US spent tens of billions of dollars and thousands of man-years of effort to hide on the moon oh so many decades ago, that the Chinese interest in space is now prompting us to go back and find a more secure hiding place for? I mean, it would have to be something a lot more incriminating than pictures of J. Edgar in bed with MLK plotting the assasination of JFK.
And if it's water that they're trying to hide, then our getting back there 'first' won't be enough, unless it's a just a couple gallons, and we can pretend that we just had a beer bash and took a leak in the regolith while we were drunk to see if we could freeze a stream of piss mid-air.
If you have a family already, then I'm sure that cards is great. If, on the other hand, you are looking for a game that will help you build a family of your own to later play cards with, I think that the game of choice would be 'Hide the Salami'

If the web is the only reference to the data I need for a paper of any kind that I expect others to depend on in the future, and you cannot contact the owner of the page for their sources, then why not just ask a random person on the street for whatever you want/need to support the position of your paper? The two have equivalent reliability.
Just say this phrase whenever you cite information that is only netborne, and ask yourself if you still want to have your name attached to it: "It must be true, I read it on the Internet!"
Ah, but his AP is on his property. You are free to use the signals that get to your property any way you see fit. However, you are not free to direct the computer equipment in his house to do what you want.
Sending signals to his AP requesting an IP address and for your packets to be routed through his ISP connection is not simply using what is on your property.
By the same token, you can recieve his cell phone signals, his car emits fumes on your property, his chimney vents over your house, and you can probably hear his wife screaming in ecstacy late at night when they leave the windows open.
I hardly believe that any of these things give you a 'right to use' any of these things for your own pleasure. In fact, you'd be in jail if you tried to avail yourself to them without explicit permission. (though in the last case, from her, not him)
If they have the most popular subscriber based games, which seemingly everybody who posts about them here assures me are amazingly profitable, then why is Sega struggling so much, and why did they discontinue support for it?
It's not quite immortality, but it seems that cancer is 'just another disease' in some turtles, rather than the eventual destiny of long-lived humans that don't fall to senescence.

Yes, like on Farm Subsidies or prosecuting and jailing victimless 'social crimes' like prostitution and dope smoking.
Minorities are just that. A democracy is based on the will of the majority being forced on the minority. Minorities lose. That's the way it is.
I wonder if you will feel the same way once Canada has been overrun by immigrants, and whitey is no longer the man?
