It's easy. Take the sentence, "This website no longer operates due to excessive traffic caused by being linked to from Slashdot." Translate it into German. Remove the spaces. You now have a valid German word.
They would probably have to start with a port of QuickTime. The fact that it was already ported to Windows is what made porting iTunes so feasible. However, they had to port a substantial portion of Carbon to Windows for QuickTime. It would be nice for them to do the same for Linux, but it would entail a lot of effort for not nearly as much benefit.
Bill Gates is closer to Scrooge McDuck than any person in history.
I have to admit, I only saw "DuckTales" a few times, but I don't recall Scrooge McDuck being the greatest philanthropist of all time. Perhaps you misspelled "further?"
It might seem contradictory, but it's not. If the majority doesn't want freedom for the minority, or even for themselves, and their will is the law, a democracy won't be free.
You miss the point. In a free country, people with different beliefs can co-exist, and do what they want as long as they don't infringe on the rights of others. Having a democratic totalitarian state is not the only possibilty, and it is certainly not one that the U.S. should choose.
So. We have seen many a slashdotter
Grieve and grumble greatly over films.
"Classics ruined!" they clamor. "Memories killed!" they cry.
Should Greedo shoot first? Surely nay.
Why then should they not whimper and whine
When they hear this horror, a Beowulf film!
Scyld Scefing? Shield Sheafson? Sam Soros?
Which woeful name for the screen will be chosen?
Michael Crichton told a tale once;
The movie was made, many watched.
Sadly it sucked. Sigh.
What they need to do is write a simple extension to their version of X11 that allows X11 applications on the Mac to have their own Dock icons. Even if it weren't backward-compatible, a lot of projects like OO.o would quickly move to implement this. If they made a standard to embed X11 programs in.app form, it would be great for many applications. Obviously you wouldn't want everything this way, but many applications would benefit. Combined with quartz-wm, such a system would allow such a completely transparent integration that less advanced users would find it unnecessary to distinguish between Cocoa/Carbon and X11 apps. This and a little bit of polish could make certain projects like OO.o take off on the Mac IMHO.
All you have to do it type fink describe bundle-kde | less
To use KDE as your windowing system in XDarwin, create a file called ".xinitrc" in your home directory, containing the following line: . /sw/bin/startkde >/tmp/kde.log 2>&1 . See http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/x11/run-xfree86.ph p#xinitrc for more information on the xinitrc files and how they work. . If you want to use Apple's X11 instead of the KDE window manager, put the following line before the startkde line in.xinitrc: . export KDEWM=quartz-wm . Note that depending on your version of Apple's X11, this can cause strange resizing issues with the kicker (KDE task bar). .
Actually, the Flash game Lander X might be good for teaching the physics of orbit. It's really hard for a lot of kids at first to wrap their heads around the fact that satellites are in free-fall.

Countries like China and Brazil don't want closed standards--they want to create their own standards so they aren't beholden to foreign corporations.
Gore never claimed to invent the internet. He really got a raw deal. But he didn't want people to keep their facts straight. He wanted what he did to sound better than it was. He deserved to get burned, just not nearly as badly as he did. He did fib a lot during his campaign, which while not really malicious was kind of stupid considering that people were paying attention to what he said.
Social Security was never supposed to be, and should never be thought of as, a welfare program.
Social Security was conceived as, and still is, a welfare program. It takes money from working people and gives it to retired people. The working people accept it because they too will get money when they retire. But they're not going to get the money they "saved." They're going to get the money from people who aren't yet working today.
I'm against Social Security and forcing people to save, but I think this nonsense over "privatizing" anything is just that. Private groups that coercively redistribute wealth already exist--they're called the mafia.

There is an ANSI standard for Dvorak, though it's actually not in common use since it place the left and right braces on the same key.
The majority of its uses may be illegitimate, but I doubt such users would take advantage of such an aboveground service as this.

Upholding people's rights. Rights may be moral principles, but not all moral principles are rights.

Apparently Disney plans to make a movie adaptation and copyright it for the next 1200 years. I hear they're going to sue Seamus Heaney, too.

Yes, it's called iTunes. Click the "Enable Disk Use" checkbox in the iPod preferences window.
Two words: pocket veto.

I also hear that they'll be able to render Tron-style graphics in real time!
The GNU GPL is a license, not an EULA. An EULA is a "contract," a license is not.
Obviously, it's future is in doubt due to the fatuous elimination of its greatest feature--sidetalking.
McCarthyism is a strange example. There were Communist spies, but it was kept so secret that even McCarthy didn't know. Which is pretty ironic.
