So.. you're saying you didn't READ the article? he has you download a.deb he made (or someone not even him) to get xine codecs. That the url happened to include the word "beer" in the domain name seemed funny to me.
But treaties are also an enumerated power of the combined executive/legislative branch, on equal footing with the constitution. WTO is a kind of treaty in the same way that NATO is. It just doesn't have the word "treaty" in the name.
Depends on the headphone. My main point is that planes are already loud and annoying. My fellow passengers attempting to have a conversation is not so annoying. Unless they're trying to have a conversation with ME when I'm clearly trying to sleep. I don't need to hear some burnt out salesman tell me how great he is.
and crying babies. I know I'm going to come off as rude here, but infants do not belong on airplanes. For one thing, their only way of telling you "this hurts" also happens to be their only way of relieving the pressure: crying. If they've got any kind of sinus blockage, it will be a painful and potentialy damaging trip, and they can't communicate any of that, so they just sound like.. well. crying babies.
And parents who think that they can get away with not changing them while on the plane. If you're one of those parents, let me say that everybody knows. It fills the WHOLE PLANE. There is a lavatory on board, so unless there's turbulance, there's no excuse. But the baby shouldn't have even been on the plane, as per my first point.
I'm pretty sure most of the codecs you need can be found in multiverse. without the need for installing.debs from some random guy with beer in the url.
"At that point, you're going to be stuck bringing headphones and listening to music for your entire flight. What a bummer that will be."
And that's different from the current situation... how? The plane itself already makes an annoying amount of noise. Mostly-white noise. you know, the kind that makes it hard to hear conversations more than a few feet away. And at a level that noise-cancelling headphones are already a must for anyone who cares about their ears or sleeping or that portable movie you brought.
Having used both, I can honestly say that formula editing is not one of OO.org's strong suits. (unless what you mean to say is that you can tweak the formulas by hand if you want to, but you have to mess with their byzantine xml like markup. (is it actually xml? I don't know, I hate everything that uses anything even like it precisely because it complicates manual tweaking. Document markup code should be easy to understand at the text level.))
With "Mathtype, a more powerful version of equation editor" MS office takes the lead in utility (it falls short in manual tweaking, and they really should've just included it from the start rather than put spammy messages in their office suite every time you want to use eq editor)
But neither of them hold a candle to the latex-based equation editors out there. In both utility and source legibility. LyX for instance contains a powerful equation editor, that most importantly, is stable. It allows you to type the formulas from the keyboard rather than through some kind of cross between a bad paint program and an even worse cad program. It doesn't require entering some kind of weird object mode. It just goes right into math mode if you happen to be typing in the math box. if you hit the spacebar a couple of times, you're right back in regular text mode. And since the output is LaTeX, you can easily edit the formulas manually. And that's not even getting into the very prettyfied standalone mathematical editors.
The movie & music companies are not abusing YOU. They are charging what the market will bear for the product they sell. It happens that every song i different, so you could say the each company has a monopoly on their respective songs, but that is irrelevant. The company's job is to macimize profits, since profits are the only evidence they're providing any good to society.
You might argue that they, by controlling the distribution, are strangling artists. But the flaw in your argument is that their artists are almost uniformly not claiming to be abused. And those that are are taking alternative routes.
Copyright violation is wrong precicesly because it "deprives companies of future profits" becuase that in and of itself reduces the value of the title to an artistic work and makes it that much harder for the artist to sell to a management company. Which many artists find very convenient since they take on the risk of flop or allow them to spend more time doing what they actually enjoy: the art.
If you listen to music without paying for it, you are a fool. because by not voting FOR the song you like with your wallet, you're are effectively voting against the artist continuing to make the music you like. If enough people do that, good artists will be forced to do something else for a living. Support the artists you like by gritting your teeth and supporting their distribution method of choice. Or don't listen to the music.
Practically nothing !nothing. And a camera that goes off in your pocket because there's a stupid blister-style button on the side will negate all your vaunted "camera is off" time.
It probably wasn't the all-time best phone, and it was actually the bulkier of the phones in its series owing to being dual-band, but dual-band enhances the utility of the phone part by allowing you to use it in more places. I haven't seen any phones with cameras that were slimmer or lighter than that one. I have seen smaller phones, but they start to get rediculous, especially when the microphone isn't actually anywhere near the mouth. and the keep putting color screens on them for some reason also.
a few grams, when something is measured in grams, (the 6200 is 75 grams according to the link) is not insignificant.
But.. vinyl actually IS better than CDs in terms of fidelity. At least for the first few times you play it, that is.
And I'd like a video format that doesn't throw compression artifacts at me at the stated resolution. I'm really getting tired of every low-contrast wall, landscape, or whathaveyou being covered in blocky sharp edges. Which I CAN see, even with a regular television...(and it's even worse on the digital projection screens at the theater. Why does mjpeg handle low-contrasat areas in the same crappy way as mpeg?)
No one's saying that the cameras are useless. people are saying that the cameras aren't useful to them, and that the extra weight and volume occupied by the things the camera needs: more memory, more battery, strobe, the camera itself, etc. are detrimental to the functionality of a basic phone.
Without the camera, color display, etc. the phones could be even smaller or have five times the battery life, or somewhere in between.
For me, the best phone is small and slim, so that it easily fits in a pants pocket. I don't want to carry a phone around on a freakin' holster and look like some kind of nancy-boy wannabe cowboy. ooh I can "draw" and dial in under a second. fear me at high noon. I don't want anyone to even know I have a phone, unless I happen to be talking to them using it. Surely there's a market for people like me, too?

"We try to leave the special interests and religious education in the private and separate schools."
I'm not disagreeing, but we also seem to leave the actual education to those same schools.

far superior formula editing?

Woah. It's a good thing they didn't look in his medicine cabinet then.
Yeah, it's much better to be killed in the streets for political demonstrations than to be asked to pay for music you enjoy.
No. There should be a dog in the cockpit to bite the pilot if he tries to do anything at all.
um.. because it reduces it by a fifth instead of to an absloute 8 pixels?

Something like.. This? perhaps?

Is/ought. AI should be arguing for "ought" not "is." When discussing what ought to be, what is is hardly relevant.

That's just what we need to do. Live in more airtight houses with more off-gassing fluffy pink stuff...
Better would be to just spend less time in the house and turn off climate control entirely during that period.
Um.. he WAS trying to take credit for it. He just wasn't claiming he invented it.
"During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet."
If that's not an attempt to take credit for the existance of the internet, I don't know what is.
You should be worried about atomic oxygen. High enough up, the density is low enough for it to exist.
According to some people's math, the universe is just about the right size and density to BE a universe-sized black hole.
Well sharkey took "occam's razor" and SOMEONE had to attempt the ad hominem.. but i left it a little too vague it seems.
