Why don't you stick to the argument instead of making irrelevant and silly assumptions about what I drive?
An argument only stands on the basis of the evidence supporting it. You have provided none, and I have provided evidence countering your argument. Hence, your argument does not stand. If you wish to prove your point, you're going to have to come up with evidence showing that industrial alcohol production is as expensive as food grade alcohol production.
Now, if you really think that the only difference between industrial anhydrous ethyl alcohol and food grade ethyl alcohol is the taste, I dare you to drink a sizable quantity. (I'm not seriously suggesting you do this, as you will go blind and then die)
Yes, you can buy food grade soy bean oil in any supermarket. But compare the cost of food grade high proof alcohol to the cost of industrial alcohol and you'll see why your argument falls flat on its face. Bacardi 151, which is 75% ethyl alcohol, is $100-$120 a gallon. Industrial grade ethyl alcohol is much cheaper, coming in at about $7.50 a gallon, an order of magnitude cheaper.
"Hey buddy -- I'll give you $10 for that bag of weed." Entrapment!? No!
It might be, depending on how the conversation continues. If the would-be drug dealer says, "No, I don't sell my grass" and the cop continues asking him and finally convinces him, that would be entrapment. Entrapment is about predisposition. Look it up -- there are plenty of links in the thread.

I hope you realize that Apple has successfully negotiated with the RIAA to lessen their Fairplay restrictions. Twice, iirc. They don't care what you do with your machine as long as you keep buying them.
*Ahem* The Hamming distance is only defined for strings of equal length. To compare 'Austria' and 'Australia', you'll need to concatenate two 'empty' characters to 'Austria'. Hence, the Hamming distance between them is 4.
Dude, one time I dreamt that I was falling and landed in the ocean and drowned. I talked to my friend about it, and my dream came true. Maybe I'll go yellow banana buffalo marshmallows.
You claim I don't know what the word means and then snip the part where I define it. Furthermore, I suggest you don't put words into my mouth, since I was referring to the last sixty years of American history -- to our rapid militarization and unjust aggresion during Cold War in particular, although the War on Terror certainly fits into this scheme as well.
I think the GP was referring to the fact that both the major parties have major fascistic tendencies. The claim that the two party system is a byproduct of the need for an elected majority to control the US government has no bearing on whether or not the two parties put the interests of the military-industrial complex ahead of those of their citizens.
I think the GP's point is that it can be, if you consider Linux as a "product", which is how a CIO/CTO would look at it. Choice is great, if you're informed/know what you're doing. But the C?O crowd might hear about how this Linux thing is great and stable and so forth, and then be overwhelmed by choice when he sees different "distributions" and not a single company or "product" or even a source of information explaining just what 'Linux', qua product, refers to.
It was the Vichy government's collaboration with the Nazis, not the French people's. On June 18, 1940, de Gaulle called on the French people to actively fight the Germans. In 1958, de Gaulle founded the Fifth Republic of France. de Gaulle and his government might have things to atone for, but this isn't one of them.
There's still some good news on PBS. 'Frontline' and "Now, with Bill Moyers" both have in depth investigative journalism. Frontline tends to be more documentarian, and Now tends to be more editorialized, but they do a pretty good job of keeping their commentary out of the news segments. (The format is something along the lines of 1-3 short documentaries, each followed by a minute or two of Bill Moyers' commentary. Moyers often interviews people as well. Take the documentaries with a grain of salt, and the commentaries with two).
I'd stay away from the News Hour with Jim Lehrer though. It's just another factoid news show, trying to get the audience to nod in agreement with silly ideologically motivated summaries and 'analyses' of the day's events. They interview smart people, but they just don't give them enough time to say anything substantive.
That line of thought implies that what Google does in China is not censorship either. After all, they are "simply" denying information to a particular country. Obviously, your line of thought is flawed, since it leads to an erroneous conclusion.
"Pay the fuck attention" is clearly synonymous with "Pay attention to the fuck." Meaningful, but different from "Pay fucking attention" or "Fucking pay attention", both of which use 'fucking' as an intensifier.
And "rhythm and flow" is called 'cadence,' fuck wad.;-)
Have you ever used a wiki? If two people edit simultaneously but one finishes first, the second has to merge the first edit into the second. That's all. SVN works like this too. There's no "stuff moving on the screen."

What are you talking about? They soybean oil industry isn't energetically closed. You see, soybeans get most of their energy from the sun.

Reading that will lower your literacy. Yes, it is that bad.
12,500 words per page, huh. Methinks you exaggerate a little.

And make them watch "The Seventh Seal" and get them reading adult fiction as early as possible.
Get the bank to sign an NDA, and sue the pants off of them if they leak your source.

I just use Privoxy to transparently get rid of all that stuff before it hits the browser.

Yeah, it's a good thing you posted that. The GP definitely wasn't referring to that movie.

The point is that it's been done. Many times. myspreadsheet.com is an example. It wasn't just obvious in hindsight. It was always obvious.
"Pay the fuck attention" is clearly synonymous with "Pay attention to the fuck." Meaningful, but different from "Pay fucking attention" or "Fucking pay attention", both of which use 'fucking' as an intensifier.
