    Well, it's certainly hard to see from Vancouver, Tennessee.

    Actually, it was the Monkees that got on stage and acted like the Beatles.

  3. Re:A little bit sore perhaps on France National Library Attacks Google Book Effort · · Score: 1

    DC was not the only place attacked. Baltimore and New Orleans were also attacked by British armies, although they were driven off and defeated. Someone explain this concept to the French for me.

  4. Re:why does france hate google? on France National Library Attacks Google Book Effort · · Score: 1

    English has evolved and degenerated so much that in fact there are now at least two english languages: American english and British english, with different spelling and grammar rules. French is still very much held together

    The French language is totally shattered. There is Acadamie French and distinct dialects of French slums, outrages like Quebecois ("le crankshaft"), wierd dialects like Acadian French, and total balderdash like Louisiana Cajun French (which is hardly understood by New Orleans Creole French speakers, who can't be understood by a Quebecois, who in turn would baffle a citizen of Lyons because they tend only to use one gender and one negative half the time).

  5. Re:$8,000 per gallon for mostly cheap solvent on HP Secretly Rendering Printer Cartridges Unusable? · · Score: 1

    A few HP printers have separate printheads. We have an HP 3000n inkjet at the office and have to change the printheads about every 50,000 pages.

    See, HP printheads.

  6. Re:Neither? on Is iPod the Razor or the Blade? · · Score: 1

    Apple's also making money off replacing iPod batteries at $99 a pop (though third-party ones are available for about $22. The case is designed to be not easily opened to discourage users doing the replacement on their own.
