How does the number of people involved change the basic standards of common courtesy? Are you only civil to your friends? Replace the car in my analogy with a really big bus and the "you" with "y'all."
A blog may not be as essential as staying employed, but it's not as trivial as "free candy" either. If you're handing out free lunches and the neighborhood chidren come to rely on them for sustenance, of course you're technically within your rights to suddenly stop, but the decent thing to do is tell them beforehand so they can arrange to get a sandwich someplace else.
Let's say we carpool -- I give you a ride to work every morning, no charge. One day I just decide not to pick you up, without any phone call or anything, you wind up having to take the bus once it becomes apparent that I'm not coming, you're two hours late for work, you get fired. Should I expect you not to bear any grievance against me? After all, you can't bitch about free services, right?

Bad analogy. An ISP's server is not the equivalent of your living room. A better one would be: You agree to let me put my paintings up on your front lawn in exchange for a fee. Some third party comes along and complains that they're copies of someone else's paintings, so you destroy them. Even supposing you're technically within your rights, it's still the wrong thing to do.
Whoa, settle down there. Do you deliver this same rant to the people offering "free samples" of cookies or whatever at the mall? At supermarkets whenever you see a "buy one get one free" sign? I hear car dealers will let you take a "free" test drive, and at soup kitchens you can get "free" soup. Maybe you should let them know how you feel.
Words can have more than one absolute meaning. "Free," when used in the context of price, never means "without any cost to anyone." Try to get a little perspective, man.
God, I am so tired of hearing this complete and utter bullshit. People actually believe this. I live in Florida. What the people that repeat the above lie never mention:
- The initial count in Florida had Bush winning.
- The official recount showed Bush winning.
- Many of the nation's newspapers came down and oversaw another recount of all votes, and BUSH WON THAT ALSO.
No, it's not that clear by a long shot, and saying it is makes you the liar. One clouding issue is the fact that a significant number of people were improperly turned away from the polls or illegally de-registered altogether due to being falsely labeled as felons. Another is that in that newspaper-sponsored recount, the results differed depending on which standard was used to count a ballot as marked. In any case, the fact that the person in charge of counting Florida's votes was also Bush's Florida campaign manager sufficiently polluted the election that we have every justification to complain about it as long as this President is in office.
I see elsewhere that the boundary of space is pegged at 62 miles, which would make this the first privately-funded (albeit unmanned) rocket to pass it (by 15 miles!)
(But I'm biased, since I was lucky enough to be present at that launch.)
What body decides what marks the boundary of space? I see all sorts of references to "officially defined" but no one says by whom.
Have you tried sharing the trained LSMMap2 and replacing other clients' versions with a symlink to the shared one? Don't know if this will work, but it's worth a shot.
It's not a regular auction. It's similar to a Dutch auction, precisely in order to avoid a few spendthrift investors with insane offering prices having too much of an effect on the actual price. From the S-1: "The clearing price is the highest price at which all of the shares offered (including shares subject to the underwriters' over-allotment option) may be sold to potential investors..." Say there are ten shares available. Bob bids $50 for 5 shares. Carol bids $80 for four shares, Ted bids $497 for one share, and Alice bids $1 for all ten shares. The closing price would be $50/share, despite Alice being a cheapskate and Ted being a fucking jackass.
Also, there is this qualification process: "Before you can submit a bid, you will be required to qualify by obtaining a unique bidder ID and by meeting an underwriter's account eligibility and suitability requirements," but I suspect that's less to keep it in the club than to weed out the types of frivolous bids that drive up joke eBay items like "Sense of Decency, hardly used" to seventeen thousand dollars.
The inches involved are in the size of the film frame. A 4096x3112 scan of a 35mm frame (.868"x.631") works out to 4719 ppi vertically and 4932 horizontally. Of course this has no bearing on the actual size of the output, any more than 480i resolution has on the size of your TV, but there's nothing wrong with expressing the scan resolution in terms of pixels per inch.
Self-leveling or not, bluish headlights have inherent problems beyond what can be measured in lumens. Bluish-white light is terrible for night vision, and has far more backscatter so it doesn't have to be pointing right at your eyes to be blinding.
Could be a four cylinder engine that doesn't always fire on all cylinders depending on conditions. I think there's a Jaguar or something that already does that. 249.5 * 4 = 998, maybe they rounded down.
It's not in production, but something like this? Or if it's bystanders' lives you want to endanger, there's this. (I couldn't find a picture of it in operation, but that's a flamethrower on the port side, opposite the earsplitting loudspeaker. Also a one-off, obviously.)
Obviously, not a single biochemist was consulted before deciding to bring this issue to a vote. Shoot, they could have just asked a high school chem teacher.
I guess they must have asked someone, since they figured out what dihydrogen monoxide is and the scheduled vote was removed from the agenda. I'd say whatever error-checking system they have in place worked pretty well. The issue never came to a vote.
The points are: 1) the Amiga did not make desktop video editing popular, and 2) stating that the Mac platform was still monochrome in the late 80s/early 90s is false.
"Home video editing became popular after Apple worked with it and made it easy."
I was doing "Home Video Editing and Production" back in the late 80's and early 90's on Amigas & VideoToasters in 24-bit RGB, preemptively multitasking, while the single-tasking Mac was still monochrome and ran on tiny, 12" B&W monitors that were incredibly overpriced.
I don't deny that the Amiga was a powerful, ahead-of-its-time platform, but I think by "popular" the parent poster meant old ladies putting together videos of their grandchildren. You know, popular in the real world, not just popular with Comdex attendees.
And while Apple was still shipping low-end black & white macs as late as '93 (Classic II, aka Performa 200,) the first color Mac with an external monitor came out in early '87, so it's misleading to say that the Mac "was still monochrome." Finally, those tiny monitors were 9 inches, not 12.

What's that? There was a razor blade in it? Yeah, I know. So what? You must have some big ones to complain about a free apple!

Ooh, good idea. The same way the government sold off land that didn't belong to them, now they can sell off spectrum that doesn't belong to them!

Saturn is a General Motors company.
It's in the Fashion & Style section. Something tells me the factcheckers don't hit that too thoroughly in any newspaper.
Marketing tip: You're not going to sell a lot of anything that sounds like it came from your Speedos.
I'd be a lot more likely to see it if it starred Paul Reubens and Apple ][e sfx.

You could sell licenses to the particles instead of the particles themselves. Talk about fine print.
A googly is also a type of throw in cricket. It was developed by one B. J. T. Bosanquet around 1890.

It looks like SBC Park might already be covered by an SFLAN node. Anyone tried it from inside the stadium?
We do. And other countries have the right to impose trade barriers if they don't like our laws. Which is all they're threatening.
