I have always believed that anything that is critical to everyday life and can not be easily substitued out for a different product (electricity, natural gas, gasoline etc) should be regulated. Also, anything largelypaid for with tax dollars (telecphone). A free market depends on one crucial fact, that if I don't think something is worth it, I can buy a competing product or not buy it at all. In America, most places have only one option for essentials like power. They also have extremely limited options for telephone service due to the high cost for new startups. While there may be many companies that provide these services, they each seem to have exclusive control over geographic regions.
I have had far too little sleep for this to make sense...
I got tired of typing this rant. So you get teh short version.
You own car. Bank has lien. YOU OWN CAR!!! It is not "effectively", "technically", or in any sense legally their car. The have a lien! I think these boxes are a great idea. But please, know what you own and what you don't.
Bad analogy. When you take out a loan for a car or house, you own the house the moment the paperwork is complete. If you fail to make payments, you are not stealing the house, you are breaching a contract. In these cases, the housr.car is repoed per the contract.
Failing to make payments is no more theft than burning a CD is. They can both land you in serious legal trouble, but they are not theft.

Creditors (bank or dealership) hold on to the title until you pay off the loan
Wrong. It has been pointed out by many already. But you may want to look up the definition of a lien. You will see that YOU own the car/house/etc. The bank/ceditor only has a lien that allows them to sieze the assest in the case of non-payment and attempt to recover their interst. If they are owed $1000 and the assest sells for $1500, they are legally required to send that $500 back to you. You will note that you recieved a title from your DMV for your car. This title IS ownership of the car. It lists those who have liens against the car, but YOU are the owner. I still owe $3000 for my car, but I have the title. If you DO NOT have your title, I urge you to use a different creditor/dealership. The one you have is raping you.

Doesn't the autobid system do this for you? I say my max bid is $50. The current bid is $25. If someone bids $35, then autobid bids $36 (or whatever) for me up until $50. If no one else bids my low bid of $25 stands and that's all I have to pay. Correct?
As I understand it. This won't help. Quantum computers can factor your key at some constant factor slower than you can create it. Let's take 2 for example. If it takes 1 minute to generate your key. A quantum computer can factor it in 2 min. If i takes 1 hour to factor your key, a quantum computer can do it in 2 hours. In order to get 640 RSA-like security, you will need to take 2.5 months to generate your key. This is because quantum computers can ignore 1 way functions. Function is polynomial given the inputs to get an output. But exponential given the output trying to recreate the inputs.

Main Entry: science
Pronunciation: 'sI-&n(t)s n.
knowledge or a system of knowledge covering general truths or the operation of general laws especially as obtained and tested through the scientific method and concerned with the physical world and its phenomena.
I guess that tears it. ID and creationism aren't science since there is nothing scientific about their methods or 'tests'. There is only a bunch of ignorant fools who take a bad translation of book which spent a thousand years in the hands of the most corrupt body I can think of and base their lives upon its literal interpertation. As Robin Williams pointed out:

This should validate as the whole [if IE] is a comment.
The reason I'm not a csc major is that our department had acid flashbacks and decided that Java was the wave of the future and ceased to teach c until 300/400 level. And then it was more on the line of: "This is the code for "
Around the year 1000 for example, it was much warmer than today. There's a reason why "Greenland" is called that: it had thawed and the Vikings could colonize and farm it.
I stopped reading here. Greenland was so called in order to trick people. If Greenland is this little piece of shit, what must Iceland be like? Since Iceland was the place the Vikings didn't want people going, this played to there advantage. Greenland was never a green land, it was just a naming ploy.
Comments can cross multiple lines. A comment continues until the end marker is encountered. Once a comment has begun, the only thing an HTML or XHTML parser recognizes as a command is the end of comment tag, which is a double dash (--) not immediately preceeded by an exclamation point. (
xhtml comments)
I just tried the pasting "if[IE]" comment into NVU, and while it did collapse the whole thing down to one line (see below), it worked as expected in both firefox and IE 6.(Firefox displayed nothing, IE displayed a block element) The only pitfall I found is when pasting the <!-- part. If you put that in the comment text box, the generated comment is <!--<!-- with a matching set of closing tags, the second of which is (correctly) ignored. I've never had this problem since I do this sort of thing in note pad once I got a page looking the way I want it. What's more, both types (block and inline) of comment validate.
It's not a 'hack' because it was designed that way. The box-model hack is the result of poor coding, not purposfully non-compliant coding. Whereas IE supportg for and others was intentional, even if it is non-standard.
Also remember back when javascript wasn't supported very well and you had to wrap it in comment tags?
But hey, if you want to use a more broad definition of hack than I do, go ahead.

Repect is not like the conservation of energy. Just because people respect you more doesn't mean that they have to respect others less. I'm in college right now, so I know I'm not gonna be the god of the office i work for, but I want people to treat me professionally and that means, according to the class they made us take on professional communications, respect.
Back in the day we called it egoless programming. It means to feel good about the whole team being productive. Groups like this share code, mentor each other constantly, prevent anyone from failing, and are fun to be around. Groups that worship individual "respect" get prima donnas, backstabbing and less overall productivity.
Respect in the workplace isn't about what you yourself have done. In the case mentioned in the parent it seems that people who only knew him as "the tech" didn't respect him. I want to be repsected because I am a professional. Not because of my position.
It's as free as most 'free' things advertised that people consider free. It is part of the 'bundle' of stuff you get with taxes. You pay X and we do this. Besides do you really think that the government would lower taxes by the amount that libraries cost if they cut off access?
