8. Both the House and Senate vote. If one doesn't support the bill, bill dies. These are timed votes, and if you can't get a majority within about 15 minutes (usually) that's it.
I remember a bill a few weeks back... to remove the library-snooping parts from the "PATRIOT" Act... where the GOP got extensions up until 23 minutes. If you're going to try to convince people you didn't just shut it down when you got your way, try a round number. Anyway, the point is, there are ways around that 15 minute "limit".
Ford did something like that for 24 (3rd season). In exchange for "the new Ford-whatever" (y'know, "only one truck earned the right") being used in the show all over the place, with very prominent grille-logos, they gave 24 enough money to do the premiere adless. That, plus Ford got 3-4 minutes at the beginning and end to do a (pretty darn entertaining) short film.
I don't understand - Trippi is using it to say that people won't watch the revolution (yeah, exaggeration, big whoop), but that they'll be involved with it. GSH is saying the same, right? That it won't be something people watch or hear about, but something people just *do*?
Actually, this is not a politically slanted article. The point is that Open Source principles (many eyes make all bugs shallow, etc) aren't just for software. This is as much about politics as the GNU manifesto is about C code.
Now for the potentially flaming part: open source principles may be more useable by the left than the right ("command and control" issues, as he says in the interview), but that hardly means this is a politically biased article. And yes, the majority of the/. readers and editors are left-ish. Read the FAQ entry on why it's US-centric; the same arguments apply.
It means that the campaign changed the way campaigning will be done. If you RTFA (yeah, I know), the Internet is becoming a way of connecting more personally, of allowing Joe Blow to participate in the campaign; of getting people to communicate with their leaders and potential leaders, rather than just listening to them. And that's what democracy is supposed to be about, right? The voice of the people? The individual being valued as much as the group?
As he pointed out in the interview, the Kerry campaign is beginning to pick up on the idea - not as much as the Dean campaign, but some. I think this'll be like the early TV-based campaigns; some candidates get it now, some are beginning to understand, and some will take a while to get it right.
At my school, for some bogus reason, you can get in trouble for even having a Knoppix CD, much less booting it. "That's a hacker tool. You don't need that unless you're doing something illegal."
I'm American. And notice that we (the US) had the home-team, guerilla advantage, amplified by the slow speed of transport over the Atlantic back then. And they came back in 1812. And we had help from the French.
Don't be an asshole. Yeah, I know, IHBT. IHL. HAND.
I agree with your premise, but (except for folks in rural areas), UKians can't own firearms. Even the cops on the street have to call in an Armed Response Team if they need guns.
How hard would it be to either (as a user) switch some config/mapping files around or (as the mfgr) put a physical switch on the bottom to switch which was which. Leads to prank opportunities, of course, but...
This adds another (easier) loophole. Import to iTunes, export to whatever. Or, import to iPod, plug into line-in. The more complexity they add, the more holes there'll be for legitimate (using the term in its pre-DMCA/INDUCE-IICA sense, of course) use.
Hearing aid batteries suck ass as far as life goes, especially if you want to do radio reception. Be nice if one of the FM adapters for the iPod let you choose a frequency, as my hearing aids can pick up 2 or 3 frequencies (for communicating with auxiliary aid devices). I do use a similar device, and using the receiver reduces my batteries' lifespan from about 7 days to 4 or 5. Which is a hassle, and expensive to boot.
Plus, removing the minijack and doing bluetooth would make it that much more of a PITA for people who don't want to use apple-supplied headphones - people who own expensive ones, hearing aid users who have cords that plug into their aids, people who hate in-the-ear headphones (this includes hearing aid users; hearing aids can work with over-the-ear headphones, but not in-the-ear. So there really was never a good reason to do bluetooth, and a lot of good reasons not to.
Try Knoppix (KDE-based), then Gnoppix (Knoppix, but GNOME rather than KDE). They're bootable CDs, so no need to install. I think GNOME looks nicer; but it's really a personal preference.
I beg to differ. Windows IE renders differently from Mac IE. Unless you mean using a virtual machine. In which case, you're spending a few hundred; if you're in a company that has any money at all, just bite the goddamn bullet and buy the $500 Dell special of the week. Either way, burn Knoppix and test it in Linux (OTOH, Konq/Moz/Fire* are fairly standards-compliant, and Moz/Fire* are pretty much the same from OS to OS, unlike IE).
My last name is Smith... my first translates as John in another language two ways - one is by frequency, one is by pronunciation in this other language's phoneme system. Makes for a good story, since it's a somewhat uncommon name here in the States. And I have a less common spelling of it, too.
It doesn't click - it sounds like it's clicking. Perhaps even feels like it's clicking, but that's generated by something other than the wheel, IIRC - like a speaker.
I thought the clicky one was touch-sensitive (i.e., no moving parts)? Because I know one of the "features" I heard about is being able to hear the clicks in the headphone.
Not necessarily. What if it's an honest mistake, not stupidity? A good friend has the cell number 9X1-1XXX. I was at another friend's house, and they have a crappy phone that doesn't beep when you dial, and has really stiff keys; I dialled 911-XXX by accident. Why make them (or me, for that matter) pay?

Maybe we need a term for memetic heredity, then.
Yeah, but that's just accuracy.
I wonder if this'll get me modded Flamebait or Insightful?

You have access to multi-terabytes of storage? That in itself is worth quite a bit. Not billions of dollars, but still a nice sum.

Yeah, but at least they'd have to look for it. At least this way I have the feel-goods.

Thank $DIETY, maybe this'll kill off Fedora's up2date so I can stop telling people to just use yum in irc.freenode.net/#fedora.

Nope. More obscure than that. Not gonna tell you, either. I value my online anonymity, even if it is a figment of my imagination.
I don't know if it's Venkman itself, or a wrapper for Venkman (Moz's Javascript debugger), but there's an extension for Fire*, yeah.
