I tried doing an electronic transfer for a negative amount, hoping it would credit the money back to my account. It didn't work. Apparently the credit union's web designers are not quite as stupid as I hoped they were.
You're correct in that if all you want the netbook for is web access, Linux should work fairly well. However, aren't the latest version of Flash and most other Browser plugins both X86 and Windows specific? And aren't some #$%! webpages still pretty much IE only? (Yes, I'm still upset that my Android G1 doesn't do Flash!)
cardboard does not act as a Farady [sic] cage. Neither does the plastic most computers are now made of. I assume the solution for cardboard is the same as the solution for plastic: spray a metallic coating on the inside and ground it.
Please regard this man as a non-representative sample. Does that mean he is much dimmer than the average Nova Scotian, or much brighter than the average Nova Scotian? Let me say this in his defense: at least he's not a Newfie!
Oregon publishes a paper copy of all the Oregon statutes. All police officers, lawyers, and judges have it as a reference. I wanted one to keep in my car, so I could immediately look up any infractions they accused me of committing. Guess what? It is not available to the general public. I asked my lawyer, the DMV, and the Ombudsman in Salem; nobody could tell me where to obtain a printed copy of the oregon statutes! Fortunately, these ARE available online (and in law libraries), but I still think they should make it a little easier for citizens to get a copy of the statutes, since the legal system assumes we already know all of the statutes, and we can be deprived of our liberty and money at any time if we fail to abide by them!
the ARM2 running at 8 MHz was able to emulate a PC running at about 4 MHz Takes twice as many cycles to do anything? That should do wonders for battery life!
Corporate officers have a fiduciary responsibility to not sign any deal unless they are making a ton of cash off of it, so why would Oracle ever expect HP to not be making a ton of cash? Yes, the purchase of Sun might be motivated by wanting to keep more of that cash for themselves, but again, that is just good business practice.
Not that I'm surprised -- women will navigate first by landmarks and familiarity, and if that fails they fall back on maps. Men, on the other hand, rarely use anything but a map.

Like most men, I suck at giving directions because I can't remember the actual names of most of the streets used. Just like women, men navigate by running a sequence of events in a specific order, navigating by waypoints (landmarks) rather than absolute position. I suck at estimating the distance between landmarks, too, to the point where sometimes I get discouraged and turn around before I reach one, thinking I've already gone past it. And... (checking below belt buckle...) I'm definitely male.
I know it sounds strange, but I had a similar experience comparing the tone of an old Martin guitar to the ones I could actually afford. I'm not a good guitar player and don't have a really good ear, but dammit, it just sounds better!
As far as your last question, ultimately it is the sound that matters, not how it is produced. So if they can build a modern instrument with the sound of a Stradivarius or of Pachelbel's violin, they absolutely should. And don't worry -- it still won't be cheap; it'll just cost the same as a small car instead of a large mansion.
Why would a corporation do it themselves, when they can pay a "contractor" to do it for them? Where do you think all this toxic waste came from in the first place? That's right, corporations who contracted out disposal to the lowest cost bidder, then adopted a "I see nothing!" attitude to how it was actually disposed of.
will these work on 6v vehicles? I'd guess no, not without an expensive DC switching power supply to convert to 13.8 volts. Yes, there are still some 6 volt electrical systems out there (e.g. volkswagens circa 1958), but I don't know of any cars made in the last 40 years that use 6 volt systems. But we're just pussyfooting around the real problem with this bill: it would require an expensive retrofit of millions of vehicles already in use, and the cost of that retrofit would outweigh any additional revenue received for several years, unless you make the vehicle owner pay to purchase and install these boxes. Paying a lot of money for the privilege of paying more taxes would not be popular with most people. In fact, it might give the teabaggers a legitimate gripe.
The parents know that they've been background checked.
So has this woman A confessed serial child molester, she is seeking a new teaching certificate, and will probably get it. Of course, informing her students that the is a child molester would be a violation of HER rights, so the probably can't even do that.
Publicly funded schools are legally required to provide every child with a "Free and Appropriate Public Education", and should they fail to do so, you can sue them for reimbursement for private education, as established in FOREST GROVE SCHOOL DISTRICT v. T. A.
My personal experience with school districts is that 1) They will never, ever admit they did anything wrong. 2) An apology might be regarded as a admission of guilt, therefore they will never apologize no matter how badly they messed up your child. 3) They will retaliate against you and your child for complaining about them. 4) The teacher's union is much more powerful than the principal; the teacher that is the union "representative" at the school is untouchable, and can molest children with impunity, then threaten to sue you for complaining about it.
I have a GPS in my car that tells me my speed more accurately than any mechanical speedometer can. Yes and no. The speedometer gives instantaneous speed based on the current rotary speed of the driveshaft; it is inaccurate because the radius of your tires changes. The GPS can only calculate average speed based on measuring the time and distance between two points. This gives accurate average speed, but if satellites are lost or acquired between readings, I think you could have wildly inaccurate speed calculations for a single reading.
Supplying that information to anyone else would be a violation of FERPA and HIPAA statutes. In fact, you should hope that they DO leak this information, because then you could sue their asses off.

Actually, the ashes from this case will make an excellent soil supplement for your garden... pity about the rest of your house, however.

If you hadn't gotten laid at all in the last 50 years, you'd probably be pretty grumpy too!

What exactly is RV'ing? Can I do it without leaving my mom's basement?
Looks like somebody forgot to empty the bit bucket!

You mean that by pissing on my neighbor's tomatoes, I was actually helping him? D'oh!

If it ain't X86 compatible, it ain't shit. 99% of those netbooks are running Windows XP; will this new ARM processor do that?
My brain hurts!
Not only that, but those bastards will probably make it apply equally to both straight and gay couples!
Couldn't you just clamp it hard in a vise and straighten it yourself? I assume that's the same thing the "smart locksmith" did...

Yeah, it sucks to live that far from Nevada, doesn't it?
