I believe VLC (VideoLan) had a textmode. No kidding. I have the old version, but choose Settings/Video/Output Modules/Color ASCII art video output. And no, I'm not kidding.
That idea wasn't my own. I believe I've read about it somewhere.
The question is this. How many lawsuits are frivolous? Are frivolous lawsuits a drain on the courts? Should this proposed fee be given solely to the defendant, or split 50/50 with the defendant and court? And what if someone has the time and money to pull off frivolous lawsuits regardless of fees? (Maybe jail-time (like less than a month) could be used if someone has attempted three or more frivolous lawsuits in a given five year period. As I said, I said frivolous, meaning the judge would have had to declare them frivolous.)
Maybe change the law. Maybe require the plantiff to put up like 1% of the amount being sued as a fee. If it is thrown out, being frivolous, the defendant receives the fee. That is... Person A sues Person B for $500k. Person A must put up $5k in good faith that the lawsuit isn't frivolous. If the judge throws it out, believing it is frivolous, then Person B receives that $5k Person A put up. Otherwise, if it goes to trial, Person A receives that money back immediately. Trial commenses, and whatever is decided, is decided.
Vote your heart. Vote for the person you want, regardless of whether they're third party or not. To vote for someone because they're one of the top two popular candidates just seems wrong, if you truly don't want them.
Assuming most everyone has a TV, why can't they find a progressive way of implementing the tax rather than keeping the license?
And by progressive, I don't necessarily mean a hefty tax on the rich, but perhaps, if you guys have an income tax, just increase income taxes by a flat rate across the board.
YES! Math skills are essential. It's not what you know, but your ability to solve problems. Problem solving is the key. However, as you said, having knowledge is important too.
There can be two types of people. The math nerd (high math skills), and the programming geek. A combination of these would be great, but, who do you think would make it in the LONG RUN?
e, pi, they're both important numbers. Perhaps they both deserve their own days. Now, I'm off to bed. I stayed up too late. But before I go, here's a joke. Please let me know how bad it is.
Is it just me, or do a lot of these exploits bank on the fact you have ActiveX enabled for most/all sites?
I figure a computer running IE6 will be more secure if ActiveX is enabled on a site-by-site basis AND if ad-blocking is done to prevent most malicious code from slipping through via other methods.
Mine being IE6. Now, the question remains. Will this comment be moderated as... Troll, Funny, or something else? I guess it depends on whether you think someone would be stupid enough to be using IE6 still. cough
who still use IE6 for the sheer enjoyment of it. And while we may be stuck with IE6 because IE7 and IE8 aren't supported on an XP SP1 computer, we still love it. (Yes, some of us are stuck, for upgrading to SP2 causes problems, breaks software, and no, I am not kidding.) And this is a personal computer, not a corporate one.
Or you can go the extreme and ban non-commercial vehicles in city limits. (Commercial vehicles can include moving trucks and such.) This of course means you'd need a really good public transportation system, but the city would definitely be walk- and bike-friendly then.
I think the average cost of auto insurance per family is $1600/year. If this amount were put forth towards a really good public transportation system, enough said.
I am really concerned about a potential lack of actions by American citizens in this case. Contact a member of congress and complain seems the most logical thing to do. Threaten to vote against the incumbent to force a polar change.
Although, that last one might not be a good idea, as I feel it is better to vote one's heart, and not necessarily for a given party. People need to stop compromising when voting for candidates. I think even writing in something like "Protest" in the write-in field would make an impact if enough people did it.
But if someone has XP, can't they go up to IE8 for free? Although, some people tend to love IE6, kind of like a warm, used blanket with a few holes in it, but it still does the job.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't IE7, for example, have a much different layout than IE6? In terms of how it looks.

Or, maybe, countersue for lawyer fees?
I mean it is better to vote for someone you want, rather than voting for the lesser evil.
I still have the Microsoft Bob CD somewhere. If I get around to looking for it, I hope I can find it. I think it even came with stickers.

Sir, I just turned twelve (12) years old yesterday. I am legally allowed to drink. Haven't you heard they recently refined 1 as 2 and 2 as 1?
I think the idea is to have more reading during elementary school, and more math dureing secondary school. This solely based on brain development.
That would be the math nerd... the one who knows how to multiply.

Well, to want an organ but not willing to be a donor sounds hypocritical.
Imaginary pie.

If only more sites took the wikipedia approach, asking people for donations.
Thanks for the info. I might consider doing something like that in the future. One of the reasons why I enjoy IE6 so much is the user interface.

Doesn't that hurt the private registration companies?

I don't see how it can ever be pleasant to live so close to other people. I'm all for energy efficiency, but there has to be a better way.
in order to protect people from themselves, they poisoned people. Oh, how logical that is!
