Christ, don't you think he gets enough of that shit at school? God forbid a classical musician branches out or does something not serious. I'll bet you hate it when a capella groups covering pop songs, mashups, anything using a sampler, and the Boston Pops, too.
If the theatre is accepting money to show commercials and raising prices, it's because film distributors require an insanely large cut of the gross proceeds of ticket sales (to finance more money-losing high-budget blockbusters, of course!). Cinemas have costs, and since they compete against each other mostly on what's playing and how nice the theatre is, they can't really afford to skimp on niceties nor can they afford to not book first-run films (which don't involve as big a cut of the ticket sales to the distributor)
And if people aren't willing to pay at least production costs, there is not product!
(In the case of DVD's, this is ridiculous. pressing those things costs pennies. the advertising is another revenue stream and i doubt it has ANY effect on prices)
I checked during the evening of September 11th, 2001, (and several days later) and the photo archive still showed the twin towers. The service is no longer active, so I can't check. The reason this happens is that the images in the database refresh very slowly (mentioned in the article)
The first reference I can find to such a law is in the Journal for Historical Review. The home page of this institute seems awfully dedicated to Hitler, and the writeup of the law doesn't mention any specifics, and refers to the "Zionist state". Still skeptical, I found this in the Air Force Law Review, which looks a little more promising (search for 'Israel', but God knows I can't figure out where that shit is in the real law books)
In 1976, Washington, D.C., enacted one of the most restrictive gun control laws in the nation. Since then, the city's murder rate has risen 134 percent while the national murder rate has dropped 2 percent.
OK, did it rise more from 76 to 77 than it rose from 75 to 76?
Japan ALSO has very strict laws about handguns and has had them a long time, but violent crime there is very low. Statistics tell both stories and the situation is now hopelessly tinged with politically charged rhetoric (worldwide! After the most recent Minnesota school shooting, I could not stand talking about firearms with any of the UK folks I know, since the response was basically FUCK USA) Instead of any sort of real analysis, we get hidden agendas, slogans, shaky statistics, worrisome journalism, and lousy science. It's a recipe for bad policy.
(Just like the Catholic Church's decision that contraceptives within marriage are a sin!)
A friend of mine did something similar for a project using IR sensors. In that case, he had a break in the beam trigger a sample, so he could have a LASER HARP
A Mac alternative to Visio is OmniGraffle and is better IMHO.
OmniGraffle may or may not be included with a new Mac. Mine came with it and OmniOutliner, but I am currently one major version behind unless I want to pay.
You have long been able to do clean installs on Macs that stuff all the System stuff into a backup directory. I've not tried it with Mac OS X, but I think that is still an option (assuming sufficient disk space, anyway)

The mask works the music came from are out of copyright. Now does the music thereon constitue a separate copyrighted work? Hmm...
oh, and check this out: Russia won't sell that high a resolution either.

Mapquest offered a similar satellite imagery service for a while.
The towers were still up on Sept 11 according to their database.

Or may be bring in your dead iPod and get a brand spanking new SONY MP3 Walkman instead. Talk about rade-ins!
rade-in is right. You get invalidate your entire iTunes Music Store library.
I dunno, I find a lot of cool shit at yard sales for $5. Especially the old conspiracy-theory/preacher/local stuff recordings
Did you not see #3?
"3. A Stupid Republican Quote Widget."
At least he's got someone for 95% of the American audience.
I would gladly carry an Audrey Hepburn lookalike around with me. Especially This one
Software is becoming a commodity, and so are its developers.
I can't see Americans becoming pissed off enough to overthrow the government no matter what the gun situation is. Gun control is no longer necessary.

Guns prevent violent crimes of all types; and gun control laws simply changes the tools used to commit violent crimes.
Not necessarily. A lot of the rise in violent crime is credited to increases in drunk pub violence and mobile phone robbery.
From your link:
With new data showing violent crime soaring
If you check the data, most of the violent crime is NOT gun crime.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1446260.stm
has more detailed information.
Keep in mind that there was a recent large shift in police patrol strategy.
Also keep in mind that it has been much longer since the most recent UK school shooting.
These requirements fit quite a few players on the market. Even the iPod fits most of them. (The music DB can only be manipulated by iTunes)
Roland used the D-Beam on quite a few instruments. Too bad Roland's recent gear sucks!
no, we got the lasers and sensors from a catalog. we had a $15 allowance per project for parts.

Why does he "need" an office suite anyway?

A 'treaty', much like the Bill Gates "buyout" of CompuGlobalHyperMegaNet.
