And what if his life is ruined? Plenty of people lose their jobs and have their lives destroyed every day who aren't complete assholes. I'm happy about the job opening this created. I'm not worried about the person who lost his job.
What? Are you kidding? Electric is the most complete infrastructure in this country. Just think if people wanted to build cars that drove on gasoline! I mean, who do you know that has a petrol pipeline to their house?
There you go being all rational now. We're not in that land anymore.:D The fact is that most non-Mormon Christians _don't_ see Mormonism as a Christianity, and that's all that matters. Besides, Catholics and Protestants both actually do consider the other Christian and many people thought Kennedy's Catholicism was going to be a huge issue for him.
I don't think most people would have a problem with that
No, just the people he's trying to get to vote for him. How far do you think Mitt is going to get if all the nut-job Christians vote for the only Christian running, Barack or Hillary?
I was at best buy last week just checking out what the visual difference is between LCD and Plasma displays these days, and as I was talking to a sales rep he mentioned that HD DVD was totally dead in the water and that he recommends all his customers buy a Blu-Ray player and consider the war over. If all his colleagues believe the same, then they all would be right.
There are also a lot of people buying PS3s just for the Blu-Ray player. It really is the best option at this point. It's the only player that can be 2.0 compliant and it's actually a good price compared to all the others because Sony is taking such a hit on the damn things. I'd probably buy one if I wanted a Blu-Ray player right now and I would never buy a single game for the thing.
Yeah, that could be it. Or that's the best design for the goals of the project and the people who buy the car don't give a crap what _you_ think of them when they drive by.
Apple loves putting an "X" everywhere, so they stopped bumping the major version and just made every new version a "point" release instead. Sure, they don't scrap the whole kernel and start over every time like Microsoft, but marketing does not a point release make.
My personal experience backs this up. The amount of spam my hosted personal account gets is about half what it was 6 months ago. I was wondering the same thing myself.
That's a pretty specious argument. Vista doesn't run well on the hardware it is supposed to run on. OS X does. Should we penalize Windows and OS X for both not running on my TI-83?
So they used a video in some crappy PowerPoint presentation? Looks to me like the blogger went ahead and posted the entire thing to the internet, potentially reaching a much larger audience. Just let the idiots have their fun without getting the collective geek panties in a bunch.

I am strongly opposed to this language. Schools should not be blackmailed by MPAA and RIAA lobbyists into performing law enforcement duties. Thank you very much for your time!
I remember back in the day when I was a freshman. This was back when Napster was just fading and 100 other services (mostly DC) were taking its place. I had a conversation with one of the network admins and he told me that it all didn't bother them too much because the majority of the traffic was to other Universities, which went over Internet 2 pipes and didn't end up effecting the network bottlenecks all that much. I could have remembered that wrong, or he could have been full of crap, but it made sense to me. That may have all changed by now too.

The United States is a republic, and for this exact reason. You're describing tyranny of the majority.

The Wire, Season 6!
Maybe it would have if the Prius were an electric car.

Has anyone else noticed that scrolling complex pages on OS X is terrible? It's like your trying to push the page up through molasses.

No other suggestions. No need for a whole damn wiki.
"do they release toxic fumes when burning" If my house catches on fire, I don't plan on going up to the roof to breath heavily.
Yeah, that could be it. Or that's the best design for the goals of the project and the people who buy the car don't give a crap what _you_ think of them when they drive by.
Actually, I've noticed that the iTunes store doesn't aggregate my purchases until about a week.
Well, IE 6 does, which is still the most popular browser.
I guess PNG shouldn't be a standard either because you can't get Photoshop for free and IE screws up its transparency.
(No, I don't know if PNG actually is an ISO standard. If it isn't, pretty please don't ruin my analogy by pointing out facts.)

No, email your own representative. If they are not from your district, they have no responsibility to you at all. Here's what I sent off to DeFazio:
I just wanted to point out a section of the current Higher Education Act Reauthorization:
http://edlabor.house.gov/bills/HEAReauthorizationText.pdf
On page 411 it states:
"Each eligible institution participating in any program under this title shall... develop a plan for offering alternatives to illegal downloading or peer-to-peer distribution of intellectual property as well as a plan to explore technology based deterrents to prevent such illegal activity."

Why does this question have to be asked EVERY time there's a topic about electric cars?
