Given the level of mistrust about the previous two presidential elections, I think it would be only prudent to have recounts randomly throughout the process, however they are initiated.
Legitimacy of the power wielded by the Chief Executive should be widely accepted.
From the Fine Article: "The iPhone platform elegantly solves the design problem of small screens by greatly intensifying the information resolution of each displayed page. Small screens, as on traditional cell phones, show very little information per screen, which in turn leads to deep hierarchies of stacked-up thin information--too often leaving users with "Where am I?" puzzles. Better to have users looking over material adjacent in space rather than stacked in time."
It's not just DRM, although that's certainly a large part. Copyright extension and rigorous enforcement cause trouble, too.
Indeed, were it not for that, I could quote the lyrics of "Trouble in River City" from Music Man to make my point, provide a link to the MP3 (or Ogg) and maybe someone would download the song and decide to go buy the CD, or even the DVD.
These are only my personal preferences, but I'll try to justify them:
1. Leaving the offensive word in the subject further publicizes the troll's message. 2. The word in and of itself is upsetting to many people.
I am not generally a 'PC' person, but I feel it's a good idea to obscure the offensive word in the subject, especially since [i]the poster them self was offended by the troll.[/i]

Diagnostic tool that won't look at all processes is no tool at all.
I had a brief stint as a journalist - I always repeated back to my sources what I understood them to mean.
They often corrected me.
When I did a feature on a person, even a critical piece, I would send a draft to them before I submitted the article - usually there were no corrections - but when there were - they were vital.

But it would dramatically increase the potential and scope of privacy violations that are already possible for DoubleClick.

Actually, he's pretty happy with the interface.

Eh. We all make mistakes. Look at my italic tags above, which don't work on this forum. I need to use 'preview' each time.
Perhaps our foibles may enrich others.

Of course, opinions differ on most anything.
If you're going to reply to this crap, could you please at least take out the N-word in the subject?
Thanks!
Good to see Brian Binnie in the simulator - if I could afford this, I'd want him piloting my flight.
I plan to buy the frequency band myself, and just endlessly broadcast a black-and-white image of myself, accompanied by Russian martial music.
I will withdraw 'straw men' and substitute 'scarecrows.'
The Weathermen?
1968 called - it wants its bogeyman back.
Geez, enough straw men in that field already? Crows have to eat y'know.

Thing that annoyed me were emails with no subject - how do you prioritize answering them?
I set up a rule that made a subject mandatory.
I never let a source control my story - but I did let them know what was coming, and give them their shot at refuting my findings.
One of my stories generated hundreds of hate emails to the subject, and he couldn't really deny any of the allegations in my article.
I moved on to a better-paid job - I wasn't discharged.
I did enjoy my employment, despite inverted pyramid leads and such.

If Yahoo has any spine left, their next step should be to close up Yahoo! China, leaving just one web page up with an explanation.
They laid down with pigs and got dirty.
You don't think good fair kings don't have evil minions on the payroll?
I think we just saw Google buy a minion.

That was Project Thor.
Actually in the song, he mentions squirrels as well.
He's thorough. _

Well, we all had fun.
Thank you. You do me proud, all of you.
