For some reason, it doesn't include APL which, at most, only uses ASCII characters for names and numbers. (The meta-language (e.g., ")SAVE") does use english words.)

Well, one could put a prominent copyright notice in your letter and licence it under the GDMCANPRLL (General DMCA Non Public Response Letter Licence) which restricts its (the letter's) publication and display only for the use of responding to the plaintiff and that it does not necessarily reflect the actual historic or current state of your computer, blah, blah, blah;^)
'In the case of using "piracy" to mean "copyright infringement," on the other hand, that is a complete break with the actual meaning, and was made up by RIAA and MPAA.'
Not so; piracy was used for copyright infringement since at least the middle 1800s, as evidenced, e.g., here in a The Atlantic Monthly column from 1867 written about Harriet Beecher Stowe.
Art must provide an insight into your relation to your world. This happens in a context for which you must have some feeling or understanding for the art to mean anything to you. For example: European mediaeval religious art appreciation requires some feeling for the society and other art of the time.
Thanks!
I actually did the original search fron google.ca.
I just tried it fron google.fr and, again, all the top ten are AXA Insurance sites (including the Canadian one, which I didn't notice in the.ca search:^). There were no ads, so I guess you are correct that they (Goggle) dropped them.
Well, I typed "AXA" into Google and the first ten items were all related to AXA Insurance and the only ad was for a financial company's web page discussing AXA. Unless there has been a quick change by Google, my opinion is that AXA is FoS! Having the words "insurance" or "assurance" anywhere in one's search should trigger any insurance companies ads.
I agree that this is a good act of the Gates' Foundation.
However, as a library should provide a wealth of information, knowledge, insight, and experience, I think that they should try to ensure that these are also available with the computers.
I understand that they are probably unable (due to cost) to have equal the number of Macs and it doesn't make sense (yet) to have dozens of Linux and *BSD machines. They can, however, at least provide some of this. I doubt there are too many places where they would be unable to find a volunteer who would be willing and happy to set up a FOSS system for them.
What are the stats on checking out the books? If no one is doing any more reading, then I don't see this as having any beneficial effect on libraries; they're just convenient places to put terminals, sort of like internet cafes without the coffee.
Well, one thing about the bank model is that each transaction is linked to the account owner. This is what provides the audit trail - you checking over your monthly statement and reviewing your account. Since your votes (cf. transactions) are supposed to be secret, there is no way to verify (within the banking model) that your votes were recorded correctly.
Not necessarily steam; there are other liquids available that have better properties for the liquid to/from gas conversion including improved lightness of the container. At my last look at this (several years ago, I admit) an external combustion engine could be ready to go in under two minutes. Other advantages include: maximal torque at 0 rpm and fuel supply can stop once a full head of "steam" has been reached or when idling.
I'm not sure that it is. Ploughing under the remains of the previous year's crops provides a green manure that, if gone (converted to alcohol), may require more artificial fertilizers. I wonder what the net effect on oil consumption would be?
Another point is that internal combustion engines require modification beyond a certain ratio of alcohol, so there is a limit to gasohol's use until the car fleet is replaced. On the other hand, external combustion engines have no such problem; if you can burn it, it will provide fuel. I also believe (but haven't looked at them for several years) that external combustion engines are more efficient and, using today's technology, quite compact and quick starting. I wonder why there isn't more research in this. A particular advantage is that such engines can make immediate use of the current infrastructure (gasolene/diesel oil/furnace oil...) while hydrogen (fuel cell) and electric engines cannot.

According to this article at Verified Voting this only applies to Diebold's TSx paperless electronic voting system. Apparently:
"The Voting Systems Panel did not recommend against continued use of the Diebold TS electronic voting machines or use of optical-scan voting machines. The GEMs software is also not affected by this decision."
In addition, there is no special protocol needed to read them. A pin or sewing needle stuck in a paper cone will work! Of course, knowing the rpms would help, but, for voice or music, a bit of experimentation will get you an acceptable response.

Been there, done that. Went to the local Holiday Inn for dinner when I was finished. (Actually, I was digging up a blocked line betwixt the toilet and the septic tank. It wasn't too bad until I came to the blockage, which was under pressure. Let's just say the shit flew! One of the reasons I prefer programming:^) Another comes to mind everytime I see someone wearing a stupid costume and a sandwich-board walking down the street.)

It's called "jamming" and has been used for many years; electronically, ever since the military has used radio.

Actually, hot air balloons were used as far back as the US civil war. (Sites include photos).

No, because the paper ballot is deposited into the ballot box after the voter receives and verifies it.
If it isn't a crony corporation of the government, can this even fly?
