Actually, the Senate passed a resolution against the ownership rules. Unfortunately, as anyone who's taken an 8th grade civics class knows, the US has a bicameral legislature. And right now, the lower house is controlled by rabid pro-business Republicans who are not going to "bitch-slap" the FCC. And they certainly won't have the votes to override Bush's veto if they do.
I don't run a spellchecker. Any Cocoa application can check my spelling as I type and underline misspelled words. So, uh, yes, I do just let it flag what I typed wrong. Since I know how to spell, it catches any typing mistakes and lets me correct them.
On the other hand, using software that thinks it knows what I want better than I do annoys me. Like if I'm sending a user a printout with the username and password I've assigned to them and the stupid work PC I'm using has Word setup to capitalize things automatically, I can accidentally send someone the wrong username when I typed it correctly, and get to deal with them when it doesn't work.
I prefer the alternative of my DNS lookup failing for a domain that doesn't exist, like it should, and then fixing the typo, usually by hitting command-T to transpose the 2 characters I typed out of order.
I can see the top of my Airport card with my keyboard off, but to get it on or out of the slot without taking the back off, I've have to rip off the strip of metal on the left side with the speaker in it, which I'm pretty sure isn't covered by AppleCare.
Yes, it's certainly trolling to suggest that waiting a minute for a menu to pop up could hurt productivity. I just love double-clicking "My Computer" on a PC and going off to make a pot of tea while it loads.
My new Mac doesn't have a Windows backup on it at all.
Or did IEEE cave into the morons again and redefine "computer" as "Windows box" because that's what the average person thinks it means?
On my keyboard, the control keys are far enough from the A and ; that hitting them while keeping the rest of my fingers where they are is uncomfortable. Besides, I click my right mouse button with my middle finger, which is already resting there if I'm using the mouse.
Umm, the countersuit isn't asking for the suit in England to be dismissed. You see, American courts don't have jurisdiction over British courts, as much as the neoconservatives would like them to.
Well, if you really think all copyrighted music is crap, you won't download it, and therefore you won't be sharing it. If you're sharing a bunch of public domain stuff, RIAA's not going to drag you into court.
The problem is that people actually want to listen to music that's professionally produced by engineers in studios paid for with record companies' money more than they want to listen to something someone recorded in their basement. Otherwise, there's be no reason to use P2P to trade music; people who give their music away are happy to upload to mp3.com, where their potential fans can download it at high speeds for reliable servers instead of having to search for it.
The hospital I work in has "No cellphones signs" that add "Some clinical staff use non-cellular portable phones", to explain to idiots who want to use their non-approved phones why a doctor can talk on a phone without interfering with that monitoring equipment.

It wasn't an agreement about domain names, as it was made years before either one of them had even heard of the Internet. The World Wildlife Fund was using the name WWF before the wrestling federation ever existed, and sued to stop them from stealing their name.

Of course, these days bookstores are happy to let you sit there reading their books and drinking coffee all day and not buying the books at all.
And they probably actually sell more books because of that policy.
Oddly enough, the release notes for the new update say it updates 10.2.6 and 10.2.7 to 10.2.8, and then says you can't use it on a G5.
You don't have to enter random article numbers; the entire Knowledgebase is searchable, too.
Yes, but one atom of cesium isn't going to produce a noticeable reaction.
So the United States is dead now? Bush may be killing the economy, but I really don't think any of our problems are directly related to patents.

Well, when I search google for stuff on my site that I ask google not to index and I find it there, I'm pretty sure it's them.
And it's fairly easy for google to just ignore your robots.txt file, which it does all the time.
Ooh, they're going to start making the cases out of water? That's even better than making them out of cheese graters.
Ummm... "mega" literally means "big". It's Greek.
My new Mac doesn't have a Windows backup on it at all. Or did IEEE cave into the morons again and redefine "computer" as "Windows box" because that's what the average person thinks it means?
Also, a byte has 10 bits. Of course, every computer in existence today uses the screwy English Engineering system where one biyte is 8 bits.
They're not making any Powerbooks out of titanium anymore, so you should be able to get a tiBook pretty cheap.

Or you can just read the PHP manual entries dealing with gd and really know nothing about HTTP except how to copy the command to send the header.

Yes, if the apple growers start selling music.
