Any dollar that goes from tax payers to stimulus that doesn't directly go back into their own pockets falls into this category for someone. If the government hiers someone to build a road (w/ tax dollars), it may benefit millions, but the guy who didn't get the contract will be pissed. Because someone had to "pony up tax dollars to be used to create [widget] that competes with what I create."
FOS software can be treated like infrastructure in this regard (because we all can use it). If you want the contract, then I'm assuming you'ld have to bid on it like everyone else.
The entire point of stimulus is to FORCE money to change hands to stimulate the economy as opposed to letting fear make things worse. This appears directly opposed your way of thinking.
Because the battery doesn't need to fail for the laptop to benefit from replacing the battery.
Typical batteries lose maximum energy storage over time. So if a new battery lasts 4 hours, an old one might "need replacing" 3 years later when it only lasts 2 hours (but this isn't covered by warranty because the laptop still 'works').
Ok now, that i've finished that report, and noticed that she wasn't actually arrested (dragged away in handcuffs), only cited (basically for what you said) I understand why things went the way they did.
I replied to my parent because I believe that there are many things you can do before you call the police in general (guidance/principal/parents). From reading the report, it all makes sense.
You can send a kid to the principle's office in every school I've been to and worked in. I know that's only 7 schools but you said "can't." When I was in HS, 1st time offenders always got sent to their guidance counselors. You'ld have to be doing something unsafe/dangerous/illegal to have the cops called on you.
Yes,
I didn't say I thought it would be harder, just less interesting. Meaning, there is something poetic in slamming a door, storming out, and thumbing your nose at the process by turning in a blank ballot. I feel that some of that is lost with electronic voting as computers have little appreciation for drama and poetry.
Of course it's easier just to turn the screen off. If there are no words in the contract when you agree to it, then you haven't really agreed to anything.
That is much better than getting permanent marker all over my screen.
Did you quote something from before the USA existed when I asked "where does there currently exist slavery in the USA".
I get it, prisons equal slavery to you.
For it to be slavery, they have to be forced to do work. I don't claim to have a lot of knowledge about the prison system, so correct me if I'm wrong: I thought prisoners had the option of doing work to earn money / privileges.
This is like may party of the social contract I've grown up with. We don't have the right to drive a car, we earn the privilege. Just like prisoners have severely restricted rights, and can get some privileges by working / good behavior.
If I were to make a top 5 list about the prison system, the "work system" wouldn't be on it.
Then it looks like I did; try looking up the definition of a penal colony.
In a penal colony, prisoners do work to sustain the colony.
Guantonomo is/was? a prison.
You don't let prisoners whom you want to torture for information do anything (let alone work), because then they might get a feeling of accomplishment. If they feel accomplishment, then they might feel happy/rewarded. You can't break a prisoner that smiles.
If I just count the things in my "system tray" I have too many things running, let alone the background apps.
1) My wireless applet that replaces the default winXP one. 2) Java 3) Virtual CD (A program that lets me mount iso's as CDs, useful on laptops) 4) IM client 5) music player
And I've just turned my computer on.
I mean, how do they decide what counts and what doesn't? There are a bunch MS processes spawned in the background. Even if you didn't count system processes, wouldn't that just lead to people installing things as system processes/services to get around the limit?!
If my parents get this information incase of kidnapping or identifying a body that is one thing. They can keep this private.
If the police collect this information on me to put in their database for no reason, that is quite another.
I don't trust people I don't know. The police collecting information about people who they don't need to is a waste of time and resources. If the police have data about me, it is data that someone can abuse. If they don't have it, then they can't.
That test begins to fly with successive dumps of the file to/dev/null. My guess is that somewhere between that test you found (using linux-2.2.12-20smp) and the current (2.6.28) they fixed the problem.

I think a 'steam' like service for consoles would solve this.

Only if you don't already have an ext2/3 driver installed.
You know, something like:

perhaps this one is better:

Would "unsupported filesystem" really make you feel that much better? I don't think it would.
That being said, you actually get get windows to recognize ext2/3.

8 hours is for using your laptop as a picture frame. If you actually want to do anything with it the time is much less.
Because the battery doesn't need to fail for the laptop to benefit from replacing the battery.
Typical batteries lose maximum energy storage over time. So if a new battery lasts 4 hours, an old one might "need replacing" 3 years later when it only lasts 2 hours (but this isn't covered by warranty because the laptop still 'works').

I actually cared about the outcome of the recent election, but if I ever don't think my vote will matter, then I might just do that.
Though, Electronic voting makes that less interesting.

No, why would I want to go to a X-pen-
Ohhh.
Fine, I guess I should have said, we don't STILL have penal colonies.
Or. How would you feel if another country started shipping its criminals to you.
If you think we did away with slavery in the USA, think again.
I'm thinking...I got nothing.
Where do we have slavery in the USA?
Because we don't have penal colonies.
If we don't want them, why should someone else?
Damn...
Well that sucks (for being wrong and for my hopes&dreams being crushed).
boxee to the rescue! Soon at at least.
You have to keep reading...
The the different OS's run on different processors.
Linux, running on the power efficient ARM on a flash drive is for quick tasks.
Windows, running on the more power hungry yet more powerful cpu, is for more cpu intensive things.
The only thing it implies (to me) is that windows is less suited to small & quick applications.
And that is just the 1/2 of it.
If I just count the things in my "system tray" I have too many things running, let alone the background apps.
1) My wireless applet that replaces the default winXP one.
2) Java
3) Virtual CD (A program that lets me mount iso's as CDs, useful on laptops)

But google brings the magnifying glass of truth to all.
