The difference between Open Source copying features and Microsoft copying features is that Open Source doesn't have a marketing department claiming that they have the first and only implementation of that feature.
Somewhat offtopic, but why does gmail block zip files? I need to email exe and dll files and I zip them since the exchange server on the other end blocks those extensions. gmail accepts zips when I rename them to.zi, but it's a hassle.
Canada has Social Insurance Numbers, which are pretty much the same thing as SSNs. I don't know about Experian, but TransUnion and Equifax operate in Canada too.

I'm Canadian and I've never heard this. I think you pulled it out of your ass.

We'll just take the existing Wheel of Time books, feed them into a text synthesis engine and let it write any number of sequels. In fact, that's probably what Robert Jordan does now..
I think you're right about it being a front project for some way-out-there research that they don't want to report on yet. I think the military may be actually researching "diplomacy", "tact" and "cooperation".
Obviously any money ever spent could be spent somewhere else, so what it comes down to is a matter of priorites. The other expenses associated with being a student are high enough that a mandatory entertainment fee isn't a great idea. And it's worse that they don't even know how much the university is paying for the 'service'.

QuickSilver is like a command line, but different. it's hard to describe, so I'll give an example:
-press the QS hotkey, then type sa
-the safari icon shows up, hitting enter runs Safari
I use it to run apps like that most often, but it does a number of other things too.
You saved money by making customers wait?
They know that geeks don't like windows (or Windows..), so they tried to make it sound cool with a techy name.

Maybe he has a secret project to use all the words in the thesaurus at least once .. and thanks to this essay he's much closer to that goal.
And if you had one of these instead of a monitor at work, you could browse pr0n without having to alt-tab quickly when someone comes up to your desk!
If animated images bother you that much, you should try the Nuke Image Firefox extension.
Who is this s+arck guy?! I want a mouse designed by H R Giger dammnit!
Then the CEO of McDonalds would make less than his lawyers. Let's think this through.
Obviously the lawyers need to be paid less too. This might also solve some other problems.

Sure it only took two seconds for you, but did you have a whole load of pr0n that you'd just downloaded off Limewire into you home folder?
