Definitely agree, it's just important to make sure that one does not incorrectly assume that everyone who speeds drives like an idiot. I, myself, love speed, but I drive with an eye towards staying between packs of cars, and I've noticed that doing about 75 can keep you in wide empty gaps for long periods of time, whereas at 65 you constantly get passed by packs of cars.

Actually, speeding on the highway can be done quite safely, and frequently is. Look out on the highway some time, and tell me what percentage of people on it are speeding. What's MUCH more dangerous is running red lights and rolling stop signs. Just because the cops love to say speed kills does not make it true.

Actually, to a great extent, no. The Constitution does not solely restrict the government. If this were true, slavery would be perfectly legal as long as the enslaver was a private party. We certainly do have rights against corporations, not only freedom from slavery but also freedom of privacy and others. Keep that in mind.
There already is a quite non-trivial amount of legislation against unsolicited commercial phone calls, and telemarketers bear the cost of the call. Notably, they are forbidden from calling cell phones, as the cell phone's owner bears the cost of those calls. Email brings a significant cost to ISPs in transferring it, and the spammer pays little to nothing. This is legal grounds for regulation.
Least you can manage is to spell Rammstein CORRECTLY, and just because they're actually available in the US does not mean they're exactly inferior to Megaherz, Tanzwut, and Oomph!.
Well, if you were being sarcastic, then I must apologize, but I was under the impression that you were attempting to make a serious argument, as I've heard people make similarly outrageous claims in real life.
Nice strawman, but firmware does not have the same need as operating systems and productivity software to be open. Peru's issue is that using closed MS products risks losing important documents saved in closed formats if for whatever reason they are no longer able to run MS programs. Open source, on the other hand, allows them to know file formats and access old files with ease.
Your argument is vacuous jingoistic bullshit, and if you feel the need to use our military forces to attempt to enforce the use of MS software in a sovereign nation, then I am ashamed to be your countryman.
What I was referring to was your statement that you could buy 10 batteries and get 70 hours of battery life. That would involve turning off the computer to swap the batteries, whereas in his dual setup, both batteries are in the laptop at once. By my standards, a laptop's maximum battery life is its battery life with every battery it can fit into its case. I doubt your Transmeta laptop can hold 10 batteries, so that's why I took issue with your statement. That's not to say I agree with the original poster, I find it quite amusing to see someone refer to Intel technology as standard and call the others proprietary.
Well, it DOES work like that when the laptop can hold multiple batteries at once. The Dell can hold the 2 he mentioned. Yours can't. He can legitimately claim 10 hours battery life, I'd like ot see you cram 10 batteries into your ultralight.
NO. An external mouse is a valid option for a desktop, but NOT for a laptop. Laptops are frequently used in locations where there isn't room for a mouse, and a mouse is one more cord to wrap up and carry around with the laptop itself. That alone is holding quite a few people back, the 2nd mouse button must be integrated on a laptop.
2) It is beyond disingenuous to cite the take from opening days of each movie without considering the number of screens involved. Spiderman was running on a many more screens than Star Wars: Attack of the Hormones.
Really? That's like saying that Jason X would have beaten both of them combined if it had shown on enough screens. The number of screens used is a reflection of expected demand, NOT a guarantee of revenue.
It is entirely possible to get new MS Natural keyboards with normal arrow layouts. In fact, one is sitting over there on my desk. Just look at pretty much any store... Not that you'll see this cause you're being a coward.
This is priceless. You reject any notion that posture or keyboard causes CTS based on your specific and admittedly unusual case? Did it occur to you that posture and keyboard could very easily affect CTS, but your writsts are strong enough to cope? That was awfully arrogant...
Don't count on it, unfortunately. I bought some Megaherz, shipped from Europe, and their most recent album is under the RIAA. Same for Tanzwut, which is incredibly rare in America. The RIAA has expanded quite a bit.
Discussing history can provide useful insights into current situations. The comparison is also valid, and OS9 WAS the contemporary to Win98, they were competing head to head. OS9 being compared to XP would be unfair, but that's not what's going on.
There are 2 points to this. One is to make it cost AOL more than it benefitted them to break the law in the first place. $15.5m is NOT enough to discourage this behavior, given how much it must have netted them. The second point is that the lawyers are making millions while the people the case was supposed to actually benefit get effectively nothing. This will be, at best, a few dollars per person in reparation for exceptionally slimy tactics. You don't find it sick that the lawyers are just in it for $6.8m but you do find it sick the plaintiffs want some money for their troubles?

Can't use it as dual monitor, since the onboard uses the AGP bus and you can only have one AGP device.
No, as the guy above you says, gold has nothing to do with sales numbers, but rather that the gold master CD has been cut.
The toolset was NEVER claimed to be triple-compatible. The game alone was supposed to be.
That whooshing sound is the joke going over your head. Mainstream IBM hard drives were named "Deskstars."
