"Does Windows 7 have those "senior moments" like Vista where it will just get non responsive for like 5-15 seconds, just long enough to piss you off? How about networking, does it still slow to a crawl if you watch videos or listen to music while transferring files?"
I've been using 7 since the RC was made public and the answer to both those questions is no.
I've merged WoW accounts into bnet accounts before, it does require that they know your login and password. They cant do it with just your email and account name.
I haven't met one person offline who actually purchases music online. This might mostly be due to my demographic (25, male, Canadian) but anyone I know who isn't tech literate just gets their digital music from some less trustworthy source like limewire while the more technically literate folks use torrents.
Its pretty easy if you don't plan on driving across. Just pick your spot and depending on where you live (I'm in Ontario so the great lakes mostly divide the border) cross via boat, or hike through the woods.
37 is still old enough to put him real close to the baby boomers. The war ened in 45. Someone who fought in the end of the war could have been 18 in 1945 and could have sill had children 27 years later at the age of 45 in 1972. Granted thats not the norm, but depending on how you define the generation (children born directly after the war or as children born to parents who served in the war) its not such a huge stretch.
He diddn't say that porn degrades all women, but he implied that porn was what ruined her life. Not being raped or taken advantage of but rather the fact that she was in a porno and people knew it.
I figured that earth and vulcan's defenses were simply destroyed by the Nerada. A ship from 130 years in the future could plausibly take out an entire plants defenses if technology has advanced enough.
As a Canadian born in Quebec I would like to add a big fuck you to all the Quebecois language bigots who feel it should be their job to stomp all over the rights of Quebecers in the name of "protecting" their language. A language does not define a culture, people should be allowed to communicate in any manor of their choosing.
Copyright infringement does not take away your sole right to produce copies of a work. It just violates that right. You're still the only one who has the legal right to copy your work. Its not like by downloading your music I suddenly become the person who is now legally allowed to copy and sell your work and you're suddenly breaking the law if you try to reproduce or sell it.
Youtube added download links for any of the Whitehouse channel videos. Go to http://youtube.com/user/whitehouse and click on any any of them and on the video specific page there should be a download link below the actual video.
According to the Lego company you're playing with Lego and the individual pieces are Lego bricks.
Going to legos.com used to present you with a warning telling you that you were pronouncing it wrong. (See this screen shot.) Now it just redirects you to lego.com, but with some digging you can find the following on their corporate information page:
Our copyright materials, such as brand names and trademarks, can be used for personal and non-commercial projects or activities. Please be sure to spell the brand name "LEGO" in capital letters and use it as an adjective and not a noun. For example you should write "Models built of LEGO bricks" and not "Models built of Lego".
Except for the fact that salt works way better at melting ice than gravel does. It's not some kind of conspiracy to rake in more money for the repair shop, salt just works better (unfortunately it also screws with the environment more than gravel would).
I guess it really depends on what you seeing the end goal as being. I see people as mostly fitting into one of three viewpoints when it comes to space exploration.
1. Space exploration is a waste of money and effort, we should focus on what happens on earth.
2. The roll of space exploration should be to learn more about our universe, we can probably learn more faster and cheaper if we focus on robotic exploration.
3. The earth is getting crowded fast and our ability to harm our environment is continually increasing. Couple that with the fact that extinction level events have been known to occur in the past and will undoubtedly happen again sometime in the (hopefully) far distant future and anyone who cares about the long term survival of our species should come to the conclusion that we will be much better off spreading out to other planets than staying home and waiting.
You can probably tell I fall into viewpoint 3, but I think that there is so much knowledge that will be gained in the process that space exploration would be worthwhile regardless of any motivation from 3.
What? You've got it backwards. The bullshit is that Harper, after finding loopholes in his own new election laws and calling an early opportunistic election, decided to go against his own rhetoric and introduce a budged designed to sabotage the other major political parties while simultaneously failing to address the current economic situation.
Then after the other political parties (who collected 62% of the popular vote and 54% of the seats) decided to ally and form a new coalition government rather than force another election so soon, Harper decided that he would rather postpone parliament for 2 crucial months giving him time to throw around the conservative parties monetary weight. All in an attempt to convince Canadians that the people 62% of us voted for should not be allowed to work together after being forced to by a Conservative minority not willing to work with them.
You only ask for a Canadian if you want bad beer. Drinking Molson Canadian is pretty much the equivalent of drinking Bud Light. It's cheap beer made for the masses who just want to get drunk without actually tasting anything.
You do need to register, but its extremely easy and you can do it at the polls. The past two federal elections have seen my registration being sent to my parents house in another city. All that I have needed to do to register (on election day) at my current location was to show two forms of photo id (drivers license+health card) and some mail with proof of address to some people working a desk at the polling station.
It's pretty simple. They believe the increased cost involved in creating and supporting a native linux client would outweigh any increase in revenue due to new customers. The fact that programs like wine already makes it possible to play on linux actually hurts the chances of a native client... why waste the money creating one when most people who would use it are already happily (wellif not happily at least consistently) playing for the normal version?
That said, if they don't play subscription games they most likely purchase other games (at $50 a pop) more than those who do pay subs. You would only have to buy a new game every 4 months or so to make the amount spent roughly equal to playing one subscription based game.
It looks to me like theres $100 million of public money sunk into the institute and over $170 million worth of private donations. Granted $100 million is still a ton of money, its not $200 million.

Not that I've ever used IRC to download books for my PDA, that would be silly.

I've got it too, I've noticed it in Chrome and Firefox.

They're kind of like fox but without fox news. Publishing/broadcasting/isp/cell phoness etc. One giant media conglomerate.

@Creepy Crawler (680178) Did you notice how he said "most countries?" The DMCA only applies in one.

Hell, just qualifying for the Olympics is a huge accomplishment.
