Having to tab a bunch of times to navigate is a symptom of poor UI design (particularly keyboard navigation), not a flaw in keyboarding.
Features like Firefox's "Find as you type", hotkeys, and per-OS-standard keyboard shortcuts (like Ctrl+S to save a document) make mouse use a luxury and not a requirement in many modern applications.
We may instinctively assume that editing certain things (like images) without a mouse would be impossible, but I blame it on a lack of innovation in the software. For example, CAD software is very graphical in nature, but experienced drafters do most of their work on the keyboard.
The ratio for widescreen is 16:9 (1.78:1).
The point? More horizontal real-estate, which is great for graphic arts, coding, web surfing, and just about every complex task I can think of. Better DVD experience (at least for widescreen movies).
And any programmer that doesn't understand what multithreading is, but tries to do it anyway, is a very very BAD programmer -- and generally much worse than a programmer who avoid MT altogether.
Nit #2. The Constitution does not define the rights we have. Just because it's not explicitly stated in the Constitution means absolutely nothing at all.
You are 100% correct. This is the key that most people miss. The Constitution does not explicitly give us right -- instead it limits the rights of government (usually Congress).
The Bill of Rights includes Amendment 4, which is usually where the "right to privacy" comes from:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Does this apply to electronic "effects"? Can your emails and other Internet traffic be seized or searched without probably cause or a warrant? These are the questions that need to be answered.
I would be VERY surprised if the firewire port was even enabled.
I tried it last night, and after some searching on AVSForum.com and some driver and software installation I was able to copy (in real-time) audio and video from my cable box.
So yes, the Firewire port is definitely enabled!
I have a Comcast DVR that is dual tuner, so it can record two shows at once, and it records HD. It has other features that Tivo does not, such as a Firewire port to offload content (which I haven't used yet so I can't really vouch for it). Best part: I didn't have to shell out ~$1000 for an HD-capable DVR, and since I don't have good enough line-of-sight for satellite, it's pretty much my only option for recording HD.
It's only a matter of time before your local cable company has similar features.
I also have a Series 2 Tivo, which has been relegated to bedroom duty, and had a Series 1 in the past. I have LOVED Tivo (both the product and the company) since 2001. Tivo's software is *slightly* easier to use than my Comcast DVR, but until they catch up in HD support they will lose ground.

Don't forget:
public wireless != private telco
It's why Slashdot is user-moderated. Crap like this (usually) ends up where it belongs.

lol, dude
See parent post.
Self-fulfilling prophecy?
Michael Dell invested in Red Hat -- not donated.

Remember how well their last attempt went?
Xbox 2 is using IBM PowerPC technology for the CPU(s?) and ATI for video.

Well, they're "undead", which technically means "not dead". So Bill is right!
Is Don King dabbling in IT now?

If you can play it, you can copy it. Why won't they just give up already?
You probably uploaded your post as HTML, but didn't include whitespace tags (like P and BR).
If you had used Plain Old Text, your newlines would have been retained.
Coincidence != Irony.
If you can play it, you can record (copy) it.
No, they're just called "douchebags".
He's not an AC!
It actually does result in W's bio.
And "miserable failure" returns the biography of George W. Bush.
