Had he used the Latin word, you'd have a point. The English word does, in fact, overlap in meaning with respect. Consult any decent dictionary for proof.
Further, an English word being derived from a word in no way implies that the English word carries the exact same set of meanings that the original did. Compare English "martyr" and Greek "martus", "passion" and Latin "passus", etc.
According to Wikipedia, he has a graduate degree in math but no law degree. This is too bad, because a name like "Bennett Haselton" seems like it was made for a law office door.
We're talking about Lagrange points relative to the Earth and Moon, not the Earth and Sun. As such, all of them are more or less the same distance as the moon.
Maybe a PC would cost less, but you wouldn't be using a commercial copy of Visual Studio.
Visual Studio 2008 Professional is $679 on Amazon (or $375 through something like the Empower program), and you can easily get a decent PC for under $800. Then you can develop for Windows and Windows Mobile, both of which have a much larger install base than their Apple counterparts, and neither of which require some other company's permission for you to sell your software.
I've been using Vista all day at work for months, and Vista as my primary computer at home since it was in beta. I've had a few issues with drivers that have long since been cleared up, and that's it. Everything else just works.
If so, why is it inappropriate to check at the borders (or at the nearest available transit points)...
While we might argue about the specifics (searching laptops, etc.), hardly anyone has a problem with this. What the ACLU and most clear-headed people disagree with is the idea that this includes any area within 100 miles of the border. That's hardly "the nearest available transit points."
Do you really want to live in a place where there's such a thing as "a perfectly legal stop to verify documentation"? That's not the America I grew up in.
just to pay the moron tax when the PowerBall lotteries announce that the next payout is going to be tens of millions
To be fair, PowerBall has a positive expected return for sufficiently large jackpots (above $240 million or so), not that most players sit there crunching the numbers on the way to the Stop-N-Save, or anything.

Or at least some wicked-fast broadband.
Not to mention the millions of dollars in erroneous charges, right?
It bothers me that /. editors missed the obvious headline "Junior-Sized Supernova Discovered by Junior-Sized Astronomer."
While we're at it, why are we still teaching kids that there are only three states of matter?
Careful, it's a short jump from there to the TimeCube.
Around here, I was surprised to see an "I" in that acronym.
I believe that part was removed from the official dialogue on the record.
After a DMCA takedown request, no doubt.
I think you've forgotten that joke warfare was banned by a special session of the Geneva Conventions.

Right, because market-driven health care has never hurt anybody.
Cornify has all the poniez you need. Also, rainbows.
And now you can't help but react!

Might want to try that math again, hot shot. Hint: 23 + 6 = 29.
but then carry some custom device which is built on radio.
What sort of magic do you think the BlackBerry uses to communicate, if not radio?
And furthermore, Best Buy and its subsidiaries have stores in China, the U.K., and Turkey.
If you're going to give them a hard time about that, you probably shouldn't confuse the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. :)
If you don't draw the line at "no photo alterations, even if they're just cosmetic", where do you draw it?
