The news that XP models outsell GNU/Linux models 7:3 is not contrary to the news that GNU/Linux models are out of stock, if the ratio of XP models to GNU/Linux models stocked is greater than 7:3.
Mosquitos have stealth going for them, but I really don't understand how a bat is gonna feed on a mammal without getting beaten off. I mean, you can't really not notice a one-ounce hairy beast sucking on your neck and pissing on you at the same time. If a bat tried to feed on me, I'd pound it to a pulp.
Mail can get lost, stolen, or modified.
It doesn't really help to have a photocopy of your ballot. Sure, you can point to the copy if your ballot was counted incorrectly, but how would you know your ballot was counted incorrectly in the first place?
Almost everybody else has free TV, for now at least.
You know, not everyone is able to directly translate signals from one of those silver wirey things connected to the head. Some people need, you know, a TV.
It doesn't make sense to go less than 50 if you are just cruising. But, in the city, you are basically constantly stopping and starting at stop lights or stop signs. In this case, going slower saves you energy because you use less energy to speed up (which is wasted when you apply the breaks in a non-hybrid vehicle).
Congress often (usually?) votes against the average sentiments of the general population.
I wonder how this country would have turned out as a democracy (rather than a republic).
"Right or wrong, driving more slowly is going to piss people off".
Ahh, this line betrays your true sentiment. If people can't avoid hitting you from behind when you are going 10 mph less than the speed limit, they don't belong on the road. It's not inherently dangerous to drive 30 in a 40 zone. The main danger is stupid folk getting pissed off and wanting to take it out on you.
It depends how big the bubble is. Any sufficiently large bubble looks uniform to us. The bubble could be larger than our observable universe. The Earth is flat.
Facebook has an account option to only grant access of various profile features to friends only. Unless the colleges or employers hack into Facebook, or you stupidly grant everybody view of your profile (--It's off by default, right?--), I don't see what the problem is.
When a man start rising from his grave to contest what's his, then we should consider it wrong to take some of his stuff.
Until that happens, I think it's safe to conclude that the men in graves are perfectly content with the scenario.
Hows this different from wikibooks?

Of course, most of the books are very incomplete. The problem is having many books fragments the audience and writers, requiring a lot of duplicate effort when you could just go to wikipedia, which is a single compilation of knowledge.
I think a wikibook will only work if one or a few people write the whole damned thing, as a traditional book. The only point of wiki is then to fix the occasional error.
The advantage of the book over wikipedia is a cohesive structure, consistency, and progression of complexity. You'll lose a lot of that by having different people write different chapters.
The data recovery companies probably charge considerably more than $500 for most recoveries. I don't see why they would waste their time on this contest. Sure, they get some bragging rights, but I don't think too many people heard about this contest.
The thing about open source is that development doesn't have to end if the main developer dies or quits working or murders someone and gets put away. The source is still there.
Maybe you should do a poll. Ask many down syndrome people if they'd rather not have been born. Obviously, you are in no position to speak for people with down syndrome.

Who'da thunk the ratio would be so close?

Windows 3.1 boot time blows Ubuntu 8.10 out of the water.
In other words, Ubuntus' not getting slower. The software that Ubuntu bundles is getting slower.
Ubuntu is the software that it bundles.

what do you expect?
Don't attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by incompetence?
For those of us that no longer have a television,

Not greed, but self-defense. I doubt Jacobsen would've sued if he wasn't under threat of suit by Katzer.
Someone ought to mention your work to the Ignoble Prize Committee.
How does open source protect you from man-in-the-middle attacks?

I would understand why Europeans are more concerned about vendor lock-in. They don't want to be held by the balls by a foreign company.

Maybe record labels should put out two versions of the song. Loud version and good version. See which gets bought.

The test runs were probably with procedurally generated data, something easy to confirm.

The R&D is 100000 pounds, not the price of the product. That's not at all unreasonable.
