The only obviously-rebranded mouse I've seen, from Dell, was a rebranded Microsoft one (and I think it even said "Dell by Microsoft"). I wasn't aware that they were so widespread. Thanks for the correction.:)
I'm curious to know how many mice Microsoft has shipped; theirs seem to be more plentiful than Logitech's in the wild. I know that I've got four or five MS mice sitting in the closet, plus two active ones, but the only Logitech mouse I have is the one at work.
One mouse for every six people seems a bit steep for what is—in my limited personal experience—a minority player in the market.
Automata, much as I hated it, at least falls in the category of educational. I was (perhaps too obliquely) referring more to such "intellectual pursuits" as gym class and athletic teams.
Why do the people who complain about higher taxes line up at Wal-Mart on Black Friday to buy bagloads of crap they don't really need?
"Crap they don't really need" describes a good portion of what public school districts and universities spend their money on.
Why is there always money for wars no one wants but never enough for education?
At least in the US, it's because education is funded at the local level but wars are funded at the federal level. It's a lot easier to kill a misguided property tax that's directly voted on by the people than it is to kill misguided elements of a tax code assembled in relative secrecy by committee thousands of miles away.
Hibernation in Linux doesn't work with all setups; my desktop would happily go into hibernation, but never successfully came out of it. (Same with standby.)
As jimicus said, there's an interface where her head/body meet the background, so it looks like she was superimposed on it, and not that it was a natural part of the picture.
Since the connector is a functional element and not a design one, they probably can patent it. Even if they can't, I can understand why a company would choose to roll their own connector rather than try to reverse-engineer all the functions of Apple's.
...should (b), (c), and (d) all be negated from what you said? Because I would think that non-discriminatory shaping, non-gaming shaping, and fair shaping would be good things, not problems.:)
Interesting. I wonder if that's a UK/Europe specific thing, because of your (almost overly) strong consumer protection laws; I haven't seen anything like that in the United States.
He never said that he wouldn't use them, just that he wouldn't distribute them. And unfortunately, thanks to the lovely technologies known as SafeDisc and SecuROM, it's not quite as simple as just "mak[ing] a damn copy".
No, you don't know that they're protected when you buy them. It's a reasonable assumption nowadays, unfortunately, but the only people I've seen putting any indication of their restrictions on the box are products using Steam.
It's a valid reason to sue the infringers. The ISP should be no more responsible than the phone company is for not doing anything about the two people discussing an assassination attempt.
Which is completely applicable to Blu-Ray. And not at all applicable to content from the iTunes Store.

I'd hardly call the recent numbers for California's Proposition 8 an "overwhelming majority".
[I'm aware that other states had similar ballot measures, but I don't know what their numbers were. I'm not purposely ignoring them to make a point, however.:)]

If offering an education is not for the public good, then why is the government running any schools at all?

Foundation probably can't be made into a movie as an adaptation of the stories; then again, I, Robot wasn't an adaptation of the short stories either.
Of course, not buying the game still sends the second and possibly first of those messages. ;)
I didn't say they would succeed, merely that the RIAA is clueless enough to still try to make it the universities' fault.
Yes, one used for discussing the development of that game.
They very well might try, on grounds of their "impeding the investigation".
Thank you for restating facts found in the article summary. :)
True, I've never had the misfortune of being in such a scenario. ;)

That's not only altered, but altered badly. You'd think the US armed forces could afford to hire a decent graphic designer!

Some parts of it might, but you probably wouldn't end up with any significant size savings after the graphics libraries.
