The US Constitution doesn't exactly dictate how states choose senators, so it is theoretically possible that the first parliamentary body could elect the second.
No. See the Seventeenth Amendment. Before that Article I, Section 3 stated that senators were to be chosen by their respective state legislatures.
If IBM had not been subject to antitrust rulings, would it have developed its own OS for the PC? If ATT had not been subject to antitrust rulings, would it have developed/marketed UNIX differently?
Does Australia have proportional representation, or do MP's represent districts? The US has the latter, and the Greens can't even get a seat from San Francisco (try unseating Speaker Pelosi).
Don't you have to generate wealth (prosperity) before you can waste it on war? If the original poster had said "funding for war", it would have made sense.
that would operate at full speed for about ten months before clogging up with registry errors, worms, and a tangled mesh of incompatible third party software and drivers.
Funny, my Averatec (5 years old) running OpenSuSE 11.0 doesn't have those problems.
Imagine how expensive PCs would be if Microsoft had to constantly tweak their products for better security and usability.
Most Linux distros are so tweaked, but they're not that expensive.
A PC, on the other hand, teaches you how to take life as it comes, to roll with the never-ending series of punches that life, and this sparking metal and plastic brick in your den, have thrown your way. There's something very Zen about the PC user experience. When you encounter a catastrophic crash and lose your family photos, you blame yourself for not backing up regularly enough. When you re-install the OS for the third time in a year you completely understand when tech support informs you that you need to buy a whole new license or a new computer. You learn acceptance.
I haven't had this either.
Hey, here's an idea: stop blaming hardware manufacturers for software problems not of their making.
If the Japanese had nukes in 1941, they could have made trouble. But 1945? Nuke a carrier group? Gee, the US only had 100 carriers in the theater. How many nukes could Japan have built? And even if the US had no surface fleet, the Japanese would still have to clear the US subs between the Dutch East Indies and Japan (for the oil). After the first nuke, the US would step up patrols. Also, better hope those manufacturing sites are underground, or Curtis LeMay will bomb them.
As for Pearl Harbor, the Japanese victory still left it unable to control the Pacific east of Hawaii, although a few subs hit the west coast. Unless the nukes could be submarine launched, it would have been difficult for them to get through.

It certainly matters what OS you use if the exploit is a Microsoft Windows executable! In Linux, don't associate scripts with their interpreters.

I had trouble loading that textbook.
and he likes to gloat about how Virginia had the first settlement of what would become the USA.
The residents of St. Augustine might beg to differ, as might the cliff dwellers of the Southwest, for that matter.
And how many of those fonts are supported on an average word processor? Although OpenOffice.org does support cmr10, even as a 12-pt font.
Or are you suggesting that grownups use TeX/LaTeX?
But when I sprinkle a crushed Microsoft Windows CD on my spaghetti, it's a little cruncher than Kraft parmesan cheese.
So IBM would have outsourced even without antitrust? OK. I believe that earlymon understood me.
Oops, I was restricting myself to Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Kitakyushu.
No agent 99? Damn, Barbara Feldon was HOT!!!
Germany and Japan. OK we didn't invade Japan, but we did use air strikes.
Because Riyadh is out of bomber range? Or is it their massive oil production?
Ho Chi Minh claimed that Gandhi's methods would not have worked against the French.

Jefferson did say something about that, but it didn't work in the US Civil War.

Joe Nacchio refused to cooperate with the NSA. On the other hand, my mom had Qwest stock.
Voltaire's Professor Pangloss was based on Leibniz, not Rousseau. Leibniz would probably have been a better programmer anyway.
Wouldn't Kant have used a subject oriented language?
I can install Windows, OSX, and nearly any flavor of Linux on my Macbook, and my iMac.
But can you legally install OS X on a Dell?

So it had Linux drivers? I have to use ndiswrapper with my Broadcom cards, but the drivers were on the CD.
If you mean a shell within UNIX, you may be correct, but bash is available for Microsoft Windows.

This is slashdot, you insensitive clod!
