>but denying the use of dictionaries makes no sense at all.
It does make sense. That's because most dictionaries do not give the legal definition for a term, and the legal definition can vary from state to state. If you are unsure, and you are on a jury, you have the foreman ask the judge the meaning of a word.
For instance, there is the colloquial definition of the word "insanity" yet in the United States there are 51 legal definitions (50 states plus federal) of that term.
I am sure NYCL and other actual lawyers here that can chime in on this topic.

Because in any place that has a winter, it's a lot nicer to get into a warm car that's ready to drive instead of waiting for the engine, and you, to warm up. And no, it doesn't contribute to global warming/wasteful, because the car is going to idle the same amount of time regardless of you being there or not.

Hi. I'm a metalworking professional, with a heavy background in tool and die work.
>metal presses, which can leave burrs which must be removed
The burr side, if you've got sharp tooling, doesn't have much of a burr. Also, when you assemble the product, the burr side goes away from the user. Speaker grille material, for example, is always mounted on the finished speaker burr side in. If you've got a large burr punching holes in steel, then you have dull tooling and/or wrong punch-to-die clearance.
>.2 seconds per hole
Too slow. Much, much too slow. Call me when it can equal 600 strokes a minute on a conventional press.
>by hand
Someone's never heard of tumbling, flame deburring, electrochemical mass finishing, etc.
>This article is written as if there's no tooling involved and there's no die or stripper plate to back up the steel as it's distorted by the EMP. It goes on to say that it can do away with molds. LOL QUE?
>because it is a beacon based system that selective availability cannot be implemented over
You forget why selective availability was turned off.
During the years of Selective Availability, if you took your GPS receiver to a "known point" (like a USGS marker), you could adjust for the "fuzzing" (it wasn't a real fuzzing, it was just an offset) of the signal and get accurate readings anyway. This is known as "Differential GPS" and was widely used by people having an interest in using it (land surveyors, civilian navigation, etc).
Differential GPS made selective availability useless as a security tool.
Turning off LORAN isn't about being able to turn SA back on again. It's about costs.
>newer vulnerabilities and malware distribution channels...
As if Rapidshare and the rest *aren't* copyright infringement, vulnerability, and malware distribution channels.
Unjustified smear, anyone?
>Will decimate the paid file sharing market
No, it won't. There will always be a market for paid file hosting, especially for files larger than 250MB.

Don't go with KDE3.5
3.5 isn't even available for current versions of Ubuntu. You have to go all the way to 8.04 to find it (not that there's anything wrong with 8.04)
Indeed. Go with KDE 4.4. 4.4 is nearly god-tier. It's available from the kubuntu ppa.
