I've heard a few musicians say that 'perfect' pitch is actually a curse
Absolutely - the best example I know was by Gerald Moore, piano accompanist. He wrote that when playing for singers, they would ask him to transpose the music up or down, and having perfect pitch in his early life was only a hindrance.
Also the quote about not being able to play on the cracks may have originated from him, after being asked to play higher, then lower, by a singer.
Well, it reinforces the impression people should have - that prison is a BAD place to be, unless you like hanging out with violent people and possibly rapists.
They may as well have a guess at the number of pirated copies out there - they're the biggest fans, the little match-selling children who can't afford their favourite OS, so they have to pirate it, though it breaks their little hearts.
This is funny, people! Come on, don't be so thin-skinned.
Harry's career ambition after all this is to become an Auror - a dark wizard catcher (i.e. an AIDS awareness campaigner). This is the only way to ease the pain he feels from the loss of his dead friends and family while keeping other young wizards safe from the "dark side" of wizarding, i.e. AIDS.
..."University of California" discovered this. This could mean the University of California, Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD, or others.
I don't get it. If the website links to the University of California, and the article states that the University of California discovered it, they are in perfect harmony. These other places you mention, they don't match the pattern at all, to me. United Californians Love Arnold and Uncertain Cabbies Stray Downtown are both fine charities, but why bring them up?
Ever owned a fishtank? Try it for a couple of weeks. In fact, I would like to offer my fishtank to Boeing as an example of prime algae-growing land. Algae!
It's times like these you need a professional namer to throw his head back and scream your new project name at the sky - "ICAAAAARUUUUUUUS!"
(Monkeydust is a fairly average cartoon from Britain, but the episode with the professional namer coming up with a new name for emergency fire services was brilliant)
Been to Singapore lately? A friend, at the airport there, was using the escalator when a couple of 'general' announcements came over the PA. "Please stand between the lines on the escalators," and "Please have one hand on the handrail." He was pretty much the only person around, and definitely the only person on the escalators.
So, if you need a place to draw the line, there's a point of reference.

...it seems like the tools doing the identifying of copyrighted content are working.
If President Bush isn't stupid, then what is he?
Sweet Jesus, is that some Enid Blyton reference there?
Are you posting from the future, oh offspring of my housemate?
So am I! But thankfully I'm not used as a reliable reference weight.
Is this source code delicious? Because otherwise there's no reason for the average user to request it.
I would like to mod SplatMan +1, Kind.
...he may be a coward, but he makes an interesting point, and I happen to agree with it for all the reasons stated above.

And what exactly is it that you, as an innocent citizen, fear?
Every large corporation tries to catalogue people. Everyone wants a paper trail - if records are discarded, and later needed, would you accept that?

You communist. Don't try to pretend that's not Communist Subversion right there.
