Apple does have national keyboard layouts - they just occasionally are different from the PC national keyboard layouts. As it happens, the apple UK keyboard layout simply replaces the currency symbol (well, on physical keyboards, the names of keys like "page up", "home", etc, aren't written out either, but the £ sign is the only layout difference) but here you can see pictures of a canadian french apple keyboard.
Geez, that's like saying apple doesn't "do" US keyboards because there's no num lock key. Their non-US layouts are different, not nonexistent
My car has a non-powered seat with no spring - the "natural" position is back due to gravity. You might have meant the _back_ of the seat rather than the seat itself, which does have a spring to go forward, but that doesn't affect the position of the driver's knees or anything, and the lever is much easier to reach.
Here's a suggestion: 9-11 could have been prevented with locks on the cockpit door.
No it couldn't have, because the pilots would have opened the locks. A lot of people don't realize what things were like pre-9-11. Hijackers usually _didn't_ intend harm to the people on the plane, etc, as a _goal_, just as a threat to get the pilots to give in t o their demands.
Because you can sell it and get money back, usually more than you bought it for. In this market? You've got to be kidding. (actually, I have no idea. But there's certainly no guarantee)
First off, they admit their bias: Obviously, we have some bias when it comes to ad-blocking extensions, as Computerworld is an ad-supported site. And they do have a point. If _everyone_ blocked all ads, we wouldn't be able to go to their site at all, since it'd be subscription only or something. We're freeriders - or, as Calvin (from Calvin & Hobbes) once said, on the subject of the value of rare comic books, "we're pretty much all hoping everyone else's mom throws them away" And, really. How does a banner ad hurt you? Or a google text ad?
Unfortunately, poppies aren't a recognized symbol for that in the US, so they don't have the same easy out for our memorial day as they're using for the others. While they should definitely try harder, their reason for not having done so yet is at least a little more valid than you make it sound.
And if you write a letter on a postcard, you must send it through the mail, since it does not meet the requirements outlined above for sending it in a way OTHER than the mail. Read for comprehension, much?

" so you'll need on the order of 200.000 of them for a single metric ton. To get a "million ton pile" you would thus need to collect 200000000000, which is aproximately 1000 times the total count of computers in the world today. Somehow I doubt there's all that many such piles...."
is your maths really that bad? people who can't do basic sums really should not be trying to use figures to dispute someone. heres a hint. 200 x 1 million is not 200 billion.
Let's face it. Mickey Mouse is going to stay out of the public domain forever anyway. But his idea would result in _other_ things entering the public domain, which would not if the only way to keep Mickey in copyright is to buy laws to make everything else the same age also stay in copyright. The idea is at some point it's not _worth it_ to continuously withhold the ideas from the public.
(note: IANAL) Actually, Macrovision doesn't control access as such. The reason DVD CSS "controls access" is not its role as copy protection, but its role as region enforcement. Macrovision does not aim to render the video unwatchable to anyone in possession of the legitimate original physical media. This provision was probably originally meant to apply to stuff like cd-key based enforcement of software licenses.
At my school, there were never fire drills. There was "dust in the ventilation systems" (read: kids smoking in the bathrooms) often enough to not need any.
Well, he was talking about the new history feature. page rank and phishing filter do the same thing. The point, though, is that there is already an option (several in fact), on by default, to filter all http requests through google's servers.
Too bad 16YO's can't vote or pass legislation through Congress.
They will be able to vote in two years.
In theory, they will be able to pass legislation through Congress in nine years, through the Senate in fourteen, and past the president's desk in nineteen.

A donut has many flaws as a database - it's just that, since it's not a database, people don't usually bother enumerating them.
Vomiting into a toilet requires the seat up regardless of gender.
Also does not analyze the well-known strategy of putting the seat _and lid_ down _and not flushing_ for "#1".

That was exactly his point - the law in the US does not allow you to own land.
In what way is property tax not the same as rent?
or a Republican for higher taxes and more government regulation.
Yeah, we have a word for those - we call them "Republicans".

If that's a true story then the entire system from the police up to the DA is not only untrustworthy, but corrupt.
Since the entire system nationwide is _in fact_ corrupt, your assertion does nothing to advance any argument that the story is implausible.
And if you write a letter on a postcard, you must send it through the mail, since it does not meet the requirements outlined above for sending it in a way OTHER than the mail. Read for comprehension, much?
A literary work first must have intrinsic artistic value. Then, it must have intellectual value. Then, it must be creative.
Fair enough. I can find nothing in this statement to disagree with.
Now, which of these does HP lack and why?
http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode39/us c_sec_39_00000601----000-.html
(a) A letter may be carried out of the mails* when--
(1) it is enclosed in an envelope;
(2) the amount of postage which would have been charged on the letter if it had been sent by mail is paid by stamps, or postage meter stamps, on the envelope;
(3) the envelope is properly addressed;
(4) the envelope is so sealed that the letter cannot be taken from it without defacing the envelope;
(5) any stamps on the envelope are canceled in ink by the sender; and
(6) the date of the letter, of its transmission or receipt by the carrier is endorsed on the envelope in ink.
*in context, "out of the mails" means any form of delivery other than the US postal service
NONE of these are satisfied by typical emails.

No, but 200.000 x 1.000.000 = 200.000.000.000
What, did you think that was a decimal point?

tag at the START of your first paragraph, followed by a

Or you could just do the easy way and type two line breaks with the enter key, if you're using "plain old text".
Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft I think you misspelled "Sega, Nintendo and Atari". And, by the way... the 90s called.
