Well, of course I did not RTFA, but do you actually have to have the new iPod to view the video/tv content, or can you purchase it and view it in the new iTunes on a monitor, or through some other viewer on a PC.
I have an iPod Shuffle but the screen resolution is very poor.
Yeah, AOL. You've probably got half a million free AOL diskettes already, so you only need to ask a neighbor or two. Plus only AOL e-mail announces YOU'VE GOT MAIL! with every incoming message.
It would be awesome to send an all-employees memo out and have 1 million computer speakers announce YOU'VE GOT MAIL! simultaneously.
If you think this is a good idea, just write at the bottom of this post
It's a perfectly acceptable Latin word. Vir, or "Man," is properly pluralized as Virii, or "Men."
It's pronounced "veery," like the bird. However, to pronounce it "vie-rye" and assume it is the pluralization of "virus" (for which the Romans had no real concept) is not only pretentious but totally incorrect.
Actually, your own sentence contains a dangling pronoun which properly would have been used reflexively, i.e.: I hate people who themselves "correct" English with some half-baked abomination.
Actually, there are five commonwealths. You're leaving out Puerto Rico, which is a commonwealth but not a state.
The District of Columbia does have representation, an elected delegate to the House of Representatives. She simply has no vote: that's why she is called by the House Leadership "that no-count Eleanor Holmes Norton." DC also elects a shadow senator, but he isn't permitted in the chambers.
I lived in DC many years, and yes, taxation without representation is a sore point. Other territories and colonies are exempt from paying federal income tax, but DC residents have to pay federal taxes and have no say in how they are spent, clearly unconstitutional.
I read quite well. I already have my master's degree in history as well.
Following the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, Episcopal churches in Virginia had to support themselves through pew rents or from collections as well as a few oddities such as glebe farms. There was no support from the General Assembly or other state sources. In fact, the church was already beginning a decline in percentage of the population to other faiths such as Methodists, Baptists, etc.
You also indicate that the church was aka "Church of England" through the late 1800s. With the Revolution, Anglican churches in this country organized their own separate church distinct from British control and answerable to their own bishops, not the British church heirarchy and the monarchy. It remains an Anglican church in communion with the Church of England but is entirely separate (and with increasing differences over such matters as the ordination of women).
Please post any reference to Virginia maintaining a state church in the nineteenth century. I don't think you'll find any credible source.
Well, then you might just want to read the first line of the statutue, which I quoted for you but which you ignored. The Virginia Statute for Religious Freedowm outlawed both mandatory attendence AND public support for the church. (Previously, all citizens, Anglican or not, had to pay tithe taxes to support the church; this statute abolished this practice.]
People (especially arch conservative Baptists) rant about separation of church and state and how any collusion between the two is evil by definition seem to forget that the states had their own churches for quite a while.. lie the State Church of Virginia which lasted until the late 1800's and it was constitutional!
Uh, it lasted to 1786. Thomas Jefferson's revolutionary Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom (1799) was incorporated into the Virginia Constitution of 1786, dissestablishing public support for the church and discontinuing mandatory observance. Virginia was actually one of the first states to establish such a concept.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly, That no man shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship, place, or ministry whatsoever, nor shall be enforced, restrained, molested, or burthened in his body or goods, nor shall otherwise suffer on account of his religious opinions or belief; but that all men shall be free to profess, and by argument to maintain, their opinion in matters of religion, and that the same shall in no wise diminish enlarge, or affect their civil capacities.
I see no issue with Govt. providing that infrastructure, but I do take issue with govt. providing the services passed with the infrastructure.
My home town of 30,000 did the exact same thing as Lafayette after the cable companies and BellSouth failed to meet their promised goals of providing service. Citizens voted overwhelmingly to authorize the local power system to provide cable, internet and telephone service, and almost immediately coverage in the area more than doubled. Since then, every citizen within the city has access to cable, telephone or broadband. There is no local subsidy; under terms of the authorizing legislation, users pay all infrastructure and operating costs. But guess what? They still come out less than the cable company and Bellsouth were charging. I think more than 60% of the people have swapped service to the local utility (which will also respond faster to any problems).
If citizens had had to wait on the cable and telephone companies to get their act together and roll out service, a lot of them would still be communicating via papyrus scrolls.
Some GPS equipment does offer sub-metre accuracy. The Trimble unit I used at my last government job was beacon-corrected and offered 2cm accuracy when at least four sats were visible.
Actually, HP has been manufacturing a number of inkjet with separate print heads and cartridges for years. This is indeed not news.
I can see a future Slashdot article. "Apple Introduces One-Button Mouse."
If I don't disremember, Starbucks, at least around here, doesn't provide free access, but instead, uses T-Mobile's HotSpot service, which charges users for access.
Panera Bread, on the other hand, does offer truly free access. So, for that matter, do a lot of the Krystal burger places. You can buy a 49 hamburger and access the internet all day long.
Let's see, 10 songs a month. Drink a Pepsi a day, and with the odds 1 in 3 for a free song from iTunes, there's your ten songs a month to listen to while you waddle your corn syrup bloated middle aged body around.
Sooner or later, you'll be able to get codes from cans of Ensure.

I am looking forward to watching video on my iPod Shuffle.
...but will it run Linux?

Sounds like a Girl Scout cookie. Oh wait, that's Thin Mint.

In the same way that most Americans refer to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland as "England."
Sorry, forgot about the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, which is both a commonwealth and an archipelago.
You ignorant clod! There are six commonwealths. The former Trust Territory of the Northern Mariana Islands became a commonwealth in 1975.
Actually, there are five commonwealths. You're leaving out Puerto Rico, which is a commonwealth but not a state.

There are five commonwealths. Virginia, Massachusetts, Puerto Rico, Pennsylvania, Kentucky.

Good point, unless the beacon antenna was very tall.
Some GPS equipment does offer sub-metre accuracy. The Trimble unit I used at my last government job was beacon-corrected and offered 2cm accuracy when at least four sats were visible.
They just need to put some of those inflatable plastic owls on the end of the rotors. Problem solved.

Followed your advice, listened to Prairie Home Companion, and damn, if there wasn't an embedded commercial for Powder Milk Biscuits on that show too.
Uh, Heinrich Göbel. His lightbulb was made from bamboo and oh da cologne. Joseph Goebbels was the Nazi propoganda minister.
