Not to argue with the rest of your post, but having certain types of epilepsy, and thus, not a driver's license, doesn't prevent you from having IDs. A friend of mine has no interest in driving yet despite being 20, and has a state-issued ID that is equally valid for ID purposes; these IDs can be issued to anyone who wants ID but can't (or won't) get a driver's license.
You may already be doing this, but you do know about Norton Ghost, right? (Yeah, you could probably do the same with dd, I'm just not sure how). Then you'd just have to re-do the couple of weeks of kink ironing (/me surpresses a snicker) when you got new models, and could install Linux on new laptops whenever necessary.
Some of us are concerned with human rights abuses, but disagree with AI's positions or methods. Just 'cuz you're not an AI member doesn't mean you don't care. I'm not Chinese, I'm just pointing out that your metric is flawed.
We generally use the verb "weigh" to express units of mass, because there is no commonly used verbal form for mass.
While you are correct that the verb "weigh" is often used that way, the *proper* verbal form for mass is mass, as in, "Go mass that platinum-iridium sphere for me".
How is it that I can compress a text file with WinZip or gzip and unzip it without losing data? It's exactly the same. No jokes about how corruptible Winzip files are, please.
My school has a few of those (well, the new version, made by HP). They suck, and they've replaced the wheelie bar with accelerometers that break a *lot*.
"All right, but apart from sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?"
My FC2 box recently went down and needs to be formatted. The fact that Office is (sorta) loading is enough to inspire me to install ReactOS before I reinstall Fedora, and maybe dual boot. Thanks!
The source is in vitro fertilization. After the mother-to-be is given fertility drugs, lots of eggs are harvested - more than will ever be implanted. They are all inseminated, since not all of the insemination will be successful. Once a successful impregnation occurs, and the parents decide they don't want any more kids, the excess embryos are destroyed.
Simple. Abortion is generally not a situation where the baby/fetus/[whatever it is] will die regardless; embryonic stem-cell research is. Thus, I think there's a moral distinction to be made between "killing babies to do research" (which is often the perception) vs. "using embryos that are going to be flushed or otherwise disposed of soon anyway for research".
It's like cadaver organ donation; no one argues that removing a cadaver's heart is murder, even though the hospital may be sustaining life functions to preserve it until they can harvest it, and thus "killing" the body (which has no awareness anymore) when they do the harvest.
I disagree. He was pro-choice, and didn't have to worry about reelection. Allowing stem cell research (for which federal funding had previously been unavailable) was a major step forward. If Bush had left it alone, he would have been relatively safe, as he could have blamed Clinton; instead, he did everything he could to reverse the decision.
Adult stem cells do have many uses. But, contrary to your second statement, embryonic stem cells have far more, simply because the former are partially differentiated, while the latter are completely totipotent.
There isn't a "ban" on any kind of stem cell research in the US. There is a restriction on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research - entities are still free to perform embryonic stem cell research (see California's recent US$3 billion bond initiative to support such research in the state)
But this kind of cutting edge research needs gov't funding for several reasons: it's very expensive; it's long term (too much so to attract enough private money); and the federal government can make a big difference in funding if it chooses to.
The Bush administration is the first administration to allow any federal funding at all for embryonic stem cell research. Granted, this is partly due to timing, but it's still a point of information.
Wrong. Here's citation #1 about Clinton's support of stem cell research, and here's citation #2 and #3. I think that Slate, CNN, and ABC are generally trustworthy.
And it would be nice if people stopped clouding the issue with abortion arguments. While there are some similarities, the analogy breaks down very quickly, and argument by analogy is generally suspect. Oh, and BTW, here's an ABC article with some interesting statistics on ESR, including about 60% support for both ESR and federal funding of it by US citizens.
Graphics & story are not mutually exclusive. Look at Starship Titanic for an example of an incredibly interactive game (natural text conversations) that still had pretty decent graphics.

Ah, I misinterpreted the situation. Gotcha.

Use Mailman to build a campaign-wide mailing list, either internally, or as a way of keeping supporters in the loop.

Use an internal wiki for discussions (the problems of public Wikis in political situations should be fairly obvious

And yet you still didn't learn that the modern, canonical spelling is "Shakespeare".

And for once, it really was "for research purposes" ;-).
Do you have $5 in change in your couch for every time Windows has borked something? I mean, that's gotta be pretty dang unergonomic!

Does Office run under ReactOS? I was under the impression it was still very unstable.
