See, I do the same with Firefox... but DON'T allow Google to keep their cookie. Using Gmail means I have an account with them, and having an account allowed me to see that google is compiling a "search history" on me. They can still build a history based on my static IP address but I don't want to make it too easy. Maybe that's why their cookie expires in 2038!
That said, slashdot.org can leave me all the cookies they want. Mmmm, cookies.
It's true that USPTO is in Virginia, and the Copyright office (part of the Library of Congress) is not in Virginia, but rather on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. While its residents pay taxes like a state, the District of Columbia is NOT a state! Voter rights now!
I, for one, read Slashdot first and foremost for other readers' debates on a posting's newsworthiness or relevance.
The Grammar Police are rather amusing as well.

We (my country of birth and choice, the USA) didn't need any stinkin' international agreement or group to condone us going to making a new set of rules for the state of Iraq. That said, Iraqis remain free to do whatever they can get away with.

Did noone else (who got through and saw ioih.org) guess that this site (and this post) is a hoax? The one poster indicated it wasn't in google but noone cast doubt on the IOIH.
I mean, the site wasn't in google etc, the site mentions a "Aldophus B. Huxley" who's not in google either (nor was the respelled "Did you mean: Adolphus B. Huxley"?)... The site was rife with misspellings and was not even completed. This "Huxley" worked with his engineer "John C. McGinley" -- that's the name of the guy who plays Dr. Perry Cox on the NBC comedy "Scrubs." Ditto the "Guffing Gertie." I mean yeah, it's more likely the Internet was invented by Al Gore than some textile manufacturers in 1839. (Actually, Al just invented the PMRC with his wife.)

It worked for Willie Nelson...for a while.
Sorry, I just couldn't resist.
Just because belt-drive TTs can be used for slipcueing, doesn't mean they're well-sutited for it.
And to another comment above, I own a 15-year-old consumer-level Technics direct-drive turntable, it retailed ~$120USD. Many were direct drive.
And yes to the comment below, for audiophile systems, belt drives MAY even be superior (I'll guess because of less noise transmitted over the belt).

But here's the catch: Joe Sixpack is 39 and still lives with his mum.

Better pissing in a pool than all over Slashdot's more gramatically-challenged posters. Unless we're talking about my pool.

Buy more. Buy more now. And be happy.
Try "less-developed countries" -- many ppl think "third-world" is just plain offensive (myself included).
Indeed, I was thinkin' of Aldous. And not about the foot icon up top. Here's to universal happiness.
