I don't see why people in smaller (less populated) states should get a vote that's weighed more heavily than mine (NY). By giving North Dakota a higher "electoral vote per capita" we are essentially saying that their vote is more important than mine.
I have to agree. In my mind, the Republican party is moderately conservative and the Democrats are only very slightly liberal. And I can never figure out where the Libertarians go. I think they're somewhere on the imaginary axis.
Regardless of whether this is "standard practice" it's still not right. I wasn't alive 100 years ago to make a fuss, but I am now. So I'm making a fuss.
I think the big point is that airlines will continue to require identification whether or not it's required by law. It just makes sense from a legal standpoint.
Um.. ok so maybe you were being sarcasmic but some people may not realize that we basically already have all those different processing units in our computers. Thanks to Nvidia, Sound Blaster, dLink, Seagate, etc...
Aren't we past the need for lossy codecs yet? I don't know about you, but I can see the compression artifacts in most DVDs. Yes you can always get higher resolution at the same bitrate when you use compression, but with audio at least storage capacities and transfer rates are pretty close to making lossless compression decently affordable.
Yeah, but in many cases people don't know that their gateway is broadcasting the "free internet" sign by default. It's more like buying a pizza and as the delivery guy leaves he slaps a "free pizza" sign on your door when you're not looking.
Yes! Those commercials were awesome. I saw them in Pittsburgh (I think it was part of a larger campaign to bring people to PA in general). It's this fat dude in a tutu and he's like "you can only afford the rent for this crappy closet in Silicon Valley, but in PA you can get this HUGE HOT CHICKS ROOM". And then they dance around the most beautiful parts of the state. In the summer. Too bad they don't show Billy freezing his ass off in the winter.
Well, once you define your 2d coordinate system (easy to do by moving the mouse around on a flat surface to calibrate) you can define 3rd dimention moves (like lifting the mouse and putting it back down) to behave similar to a normal mouse.
That's how I read the summary too. It looks like it's just an unfortunate choice of words to hyperlink. The virus was "named by Symantec" not "developed by Symantec". Unless that was supposed to be funny. In which case I'll recalibrate my sensors.
So you can find a garbage stream of bits that match the MD5 of gcc in 2^40 ops? So what? The chances of that bit stream being compilable let alone being exactly the same as gcc with "various parts of the documentation" changed are staggeringly low.
Well I don't care so much about the other examples, but the Dockers are a little scary. If the RFID actually stays attatched indefinitely, someone with a sensor network could track your movements pretty easily. Sure there are even easier ways to do this at the moment, but it's still a consideration. I expect, however, that the RFID tags can be easily removed after purchase. I recently bought some curtains that had RFID tags embedded in a paper-like tag that were simple to rip off.
Who wants to bet that google stores entire chat logs serverside and then offers amazing seach and cross-indexing capabilities? I always liked ICQ's ability to store message history, but this always broke when I logged in from more than one computer. AIM has just recently gotten up to speed with a very rudimentary multiple-computer login scheme.
[Michael Moore is] there because he can easily be "discredited". You'll notice that there is no-one who is both credible as well as high-profile who is saying anything "unflattering".
He's kinda like Moulder in the X-Files. The conspiracy people can't kill him because he's too high profile and it'll just validate his claims.

Who said you were booting into DOS?

Wow! Someone actually used this phrase correctly. Snaps for you.
Are you an idiot?

Precise 3d positioning based on gps-like rf signals?
When was escalator ever a brand?
Doncha think?

Is that anything like the free t-shirt I get when I sign up for a ScrewU Student Mastercard with 32% APR?
Why not? He still broke the law. The tenet of "innocent until proven guilty" applies to Copyright crimes as well.
Keep that racist shit to yourself. What do you have against the poor Jingos???!
If we had a Kelly in office that would be teh cool. Especially if that's just her stage name.
