I fail to see what available seats have to do with whether anyone actually uses the service, though, hopefully, the more seats the cheaper the price. But still, even this doesn't guarantee anything. This is, after all, the age of web conferencing. What is the point anymore of someone traveling halfway around the world just to press the flesh? I hope these folks have done more extensive analyses of potential sales than the poster has. Personally, I see this as more of a boon to tourism than a business service, and that is almost totally dependent on price and service. I do wish them luck, though.
How do you breath with all that sand up your nose?
The current crop of political bozos in Washington got there by using a whole arsenal of the tools you have just described, down to a telephone campaign in West Virginia that said that the main primary opposition candidate had a black baby out of wedlock, when in fact he had adopted a Bangladeshi child. Why were these folks not indicted, tried, convicted, sentenced, and imprisoned? What's good for the politicians isn't good for the people? You are a sad case, Sir.
Was it "1984" where everything that wasn't illegal was mandatory? Or is that just a general way of describing the standard fascist police state? The fact is that you can leaflet cars on a parking lot without fear of reprisal and all this decision does is extend that ability to a medium where there is a technical method for destroying that anonimity. What they are basically saying is, "You can't spy on people because they didn't give away their identity." This is certainly a privacy issue, one of those rights not specifically allocated in the Bill of Rights but referred to in the clause that says that the Bill of Rights does not exclude any other rights commonly possessed by free people.
I suspect the "common" in "common sense" refers to its nonacademic, nonintellectual nature rather than its widespread existence. How often it actually appears is a function of the "sense" part, which, unfortunately, is all too rare these days.
From what I've seen, most personal computers do NOT multitask well, especially where things like video files are concerned. The BeOS did this rather well but was driven out of business by our glorious friends at M$, for which they paid dearly in court. Be is being resurrected in open source as Haiku, so maybe we will soon have the option of running an OS again that really does multitask well.
As for thin clients, well, I thought they tried that once. I personally do NOT want to be tethered to the internet just to write a letter. That is madness,
Considering that people supposedly get cancer an average of three times in their lifetimes and that the immune system normally takes care of it, I have to wonder if the net effect of this won't be a geometric rise in the number of radical surgeries that will 1) not have any effect on the actual number of people who die from cancer (already apparent in the statistics for prostate cancer even without nanotechnology) and 2) put more money in the pockets of doctors who are already mostly in the profession for its financial rewards.
So it's your position that "themselves" doesn't add any new meaning to the sentence? Weird. This is what happens when you teach people rules instead of how to write.
As for dangling pronouns, when will you folks stop trying to turn English into Latin? English IS NOT Latin! None of these silly rules existed for a bunch of British grammarians decided to model English after Latin several centuries ago. This is bogus.
I keep forgetting that those islands are considered part of "Southeast Asia." The first time I noticed this was on the National Geography Bee. I never could wrap my brain around the concept that islands could be part of continents.
What happened to "Actually I wish they'd start sending out CDs in those aluminum cases AGAIN"? I hate people who "correct" English with some half-baked abomination themselves.
I had a mortgage sold once to some outfit in the Southwest US. When I called about something, I got a woman who not only had a Mexican accent, she dropped ALL her consonants! Talk about unintelligible.
When they say "Southeast Asia," are they talking about Vietnam? I can't think of anywhere else where they have a large residue of English speakers.
I don't think the EU and Russia would be doing this if it weren't practical. Just because the US shuttle was built by a committee with a bunch of retarded congressmen looking over their shoulders doesn't mean someone else can't do it right.
"Hasn't it been proven...?"
Now there's an intelligent and informed remark. Feel free to get your head out of your posterior and do your own research.
I have a shortwave receiver, a Drake, high quality, though not a $5000 job, certainly, and I can tell you notch filters do very little for serious interference. It's not that they're not deep enough. They're not steep enough. They hack away half of the signal before they do much for the noise.
And I didn't say they were the same thing. I what did mean to convey was that it's already virtually a losing battle and more will just bollocks things up completely.
Shortwave broadcasters are already complaining about noisy power lines. Listen to Allan Weiner sometime at 8:00 PM EDT on Friday evening on his station, WBCQ, at 7.415MHz. Even now he has to filter out a lot of garbage.
Who said anything about trademarks? Go back and read the blurb. This is about sponsorship, not trademarks. Trademarks are a preexisting law. This is NEW legislation applying to official sponsorship rights.
Also keep in mind that Asian connectivity is in the toilet right now as a result of a couple of ships sinking in the monsoon off of Bombay that took out TWO undersea cables. Who knows what that is doing to all kinds of statistics.
"If you are not with me, then you are with the terrorists".
Looks like a growing number of folks are now "with the terrorists." I wonder how widespread the voter fraud will have to be in the next elections before John Q Public realises he's being shafted. Really, it would only take one major network to break ranks with "the regime" to send that little moron back to Hell where he came from.
The exact idea occurred to me and I tested it with my own name. The estimated results gave Yahoo a huge lead, but when I actually checked out the number of the last entry, they were about even. Testing other names I found that Google had a lead varying from small to x2. So I wonder if Yahoo isn't using some peculiar algorithm to estimate how many pages they have and that algorithm is way off.

GRAMMATICAL, damn it!

Piss Off.

No, I'm American. And I always thought the British didn't think of themselves as European. There don't seem to be any official rules here, do there?.
As for the guy who thinks it's the "continent" of Australasia, you just pulled that out of your hat, didn't you?
And come to think of it, is Tasmania part of Australia the continent or just Australia the country?

I just find it incomprehensible.

You mean they are substituting lies and distortion for facts? Gee, I never would have expected that from this administration... [/sarcasm]

Sorry to be a grammar pedant, but you left out a word. VOLUNTARY. Look it up. BEFORE you listen to Rush Limpballs.
