But it would require further research and the building of new reactors. Unfortunately the public seem to be scared of all things "nuclear" so politically, it wouldn't go over well. It is my suspicion (I'd like to see a survey to support or refute this) that the general public, in the US anyway, would rather just bury the existing waste and forget about nuclear power altogether because they see it as something dangerous and scary.
the only native word in common use that has two "i"s in a row is "skiing"
What about "Hawaii"?
I suppose you could argue that it's not a native English word and/or that the proper spelling is "Hawai'i", though.
If you use the word "theft", you're falling for the **AA's propaganda. "Stealing music" would be if you took your neighbor's CDs, or maybe it would apply to that guy who stole your car stereo. Legally, theft and copyright infringement are different things.
What language are you thinking of? Prolog or some other non-imperative language? I don't know Prolog, but I'm sure there are "design patterns" - time-tested ways of satisfying certain needs - even if they aren't the same as the ones use with imperative languages.
Honestly, I wish people would quit saying "Apple/Microsoft/Google/FooCorp is evil because they applied for patent X", even if the patent is for something really obvious (like this one seems to be) or stupid. Given the current legal climate, companies are forced to obtain patents like these so they can defend themselves against (usually smaller) companies that would otherwise get the patents later on (or dredge up old, semi-related patents) and then bring lawsuits.
Save the complaints for companies that actually abuse patents (Eolas comes to mind), and the USPTO and the legal system that allow this **** to continue.
Also, to the people who keep pointing out "prior art"... please note that this patent application is for a MULTI-POINT touch interface.
For games, sure, but what about other apps? Linux has (speaking very generally) worse 3d graphics performace than Windows, so it's to be expected that WINE would perform worse than Windows when running games. I don't have experience running WINE on modern hardware, but I imagine the speed differential is much less (or even nonexistent) when running, say, Office or IE.
Was it the (American-hosted, Chinese-language) google.com Chinese language site, or was it the (Chinese-hosted, and thus censored) google.cn?

I am currently logged into Mac OS X from the default account. It's an administrator account. Until I changed the relevant settings, the system didn't even require my password to log in to said administrator account.
I'm comfortable with using my admin account for everyday use, though, because the system requires my password before doing anything 'administrative', aside from copying applications into the/Applications directory. It's not unlike having your everyday-use Linux account in the sudoers group. Not especially insecure, but at times very convenient.
In general, I agree that smaller apps that play well with the system are better than "suites", especially when said suites are inflexible and self-contained.
The stated goal of the Firefox project is to build a browser-only app that's lighter weight than Seamonkey (nee Mozilla Suite). So far, I think they've managed to include useful features without bloating Firefox too much.
It's hardly fair to point to a plug-in for Firefox that's developed by a third party and claim that Firefox is becoming too feature-rich/bloated.

Obviously the GP meant a relative of the "over-demanding end-user". Are you sure you aren't from Kentucky?
how hard could it be to get it back to the way we found it?
Not especially hard.

Maybe the reason the Firefox search box wasn't a problem is that Mozilla does not have a (near-)monopoly on desktop operating systems.
:/
Or maybe it's just because Google happens to be the default in Firefox.

Does it run Pink?
Yes. This means it's especially good for playing music by Gershwin and Copland.
I don't know of a single band who uses them.
You've never heard of the Beatles?
Probably not, unless you receive goods and/or services as a direct result of your contributions.

IANAL.
GAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! Perl may "allow" for OO, but it's very ugly. Try Ruby or Python or something. Even PHP5 would be better than Perl for teaching OO.
OP was talking about the canonization of certain texts, which was done well before the translation of the King James Version.

Oh, like this?
Already available for Mac OS X and Windows 2k/XP.
I bet there's an implementation for your free *nix of choice as well.

1.67 GHz is "a vastly slower clock speed" than 1.83 GHz? Or did you mean the FSB clock? That was what kept the G4's performance down.
