i went to catholic school 40+ years ago and the use of apostrophes was the same then. don't bother trying to tell me that sister syncletica was a progressive grammarian.
i think that contractions are being used as an example for apostrophe usage when plural/possessive is another matter altogether.
the guy is absolutely correct, and you are willfully stupid.
the apostrophe misuse is a very common one, but makes no grammatical sense. ex; "mp3s" is the correct plural, "mp3's" would would refer to something belonging or attributable to an mp3. otoh, if it were something all mp3s had in common, it would be "mp3s'".
i wouldn't have been one to bring up your illiteracy, but since you rejected relatively polite advice on the correct way to denote plurals based on numeric or non-alphabetic symbols, i feel completely justified in pointing out that ignorance is correctable, but stupidity is lifelong.
you quite fairly deserve to be punished for your hypocrisy. uh, i fergot it's us.
what i meant to say is that we are so semantically creative, we should be rewarded, and the jihadeen should kiss and make up with israel. anyone who thinks iraq didn't have wmds has never eaten felafel.
...otherwise, how could this patent submarining thing be tolerated. if i have something of yours, tell me what it is, so i can give it back or demonstrate that isn't yours. until you give me that opportunity, you have NO business in civil courts, unless you have evidence to support criminal proceedings and have secured a conviction.
This tends to highlight the complexity of the problem. More, stronger ice isn't significant of colder temperatures, it tends to demonstrate more moisture accumulation during the coldest periods. Warmer oceans free more atmospheric water, so the increase in ice might even be predictable.
Polar bear numbers are declining rapidly, from melting ice floes and much more open water to cross. Polar bears live only in the arctic, part of which is fairly close to Eastern Canada. I wonder if they'll go extinct or if some population becomes significantly more aquatic, but that's a different thread.
...and not too bright, or intimidated by the machine, they will not accept the change, even though clicking on an icon is NOT a computer skill that requires training, and for many home users, that is all that is required to get email, browse the Internet or download whatever it is that they download.
A very good feature of CD live distributions is that as long as writable media isn't mounted, there isn't much that anyone can do that can't be fixed with a reboot, thus perfect for not-very-savvy newbies to build their skills (and confidence).
True enough, I'm not an expert with Open Office or MSOffice, but having used both to write resumes and stuff, I don't see a difference that should cause a steep learning curve. Firefox acts pretty much the same on Windows or Linux boxes, email clients are almost identical, ftp clients interface the remote and local in the same way, for example.
Of course it takes almost no encouragement from Microsoft to dissuade the abovementioned types from trying to use something different.

Think kind thoughts, Rob, everything is everything.
or maybe needs protection upstream. They are poster children for the Avarice Society, don't buy their product, spend your money on a night at a local music venue. Discreetly, but not sneakily, bring in a recording device. Even if it's a shitty band you will get a recording that will be at least as entertaining as anything you'd have to pay for.
...??AA should reconcile this unauthorized use to their enforcement policies. Their unauthorized use is little different from what they are prosecuting and litigating from others.
How to get people worked up enough to ask for something to be done, via legislative or judicial means?
think about what you're saying, in the context of a typical PC. This person is going to reboot, not turn it over to several other users. Running a local root exploit is only a problem if it is actively being multiused.
Nobody suggested that mission critical systems run from a Knoppix CD, but it might make sense for some casual web surfers.
A point in favor of these CDs is that they run only in memory, from read-only media. Ergo, a reboot gets you a clean system with no damage done, and the hard disk OS is intact. Perfect for drunken idiots that need to interact online while using a roommate's computer, and who just can't seem to avoid malware and ridiculous downloads. Educating the masses to use Internet resources responsibly is laudable but difficult. A sandbox to contain careless behavior isn't exactly a bad thing in the meantime.
as you say, it's a bit hard to prove, so in all except the most egregious (what are those?) cases prior art will be declared to be irrelevent if acknowledged at all by applicants, with the knowledge that the process can't/won't exhaustively investigate (at least the Patent Office has more means at its disposal than most inventors) prior art, patentability, or even if a similar patent exists.
...in the patent system, patent applicants aren't going to list prior art, and other interested parties aren't routinely aware of some of these over-the-top applications. The Patent Office needs an overhaul (I personally believe that software patents are inappropriate, but I'm apprehensive about what would happen if they were abolished, since so many have been granted). As a stopgap, 'submarining' patents should be criminalized (it is prohibitively difficult to investigate whether a patent already exists), and demonstration of actual implementation should be a condition for granting patents. Patents shouldn't be meant to reward thought processes that may occur to other inventors, they should be to protect those who would actually implement their original ideas.
...mouse with your right hand, leaving your more talented left hand to do what keyboarding you need. I'm left-handed and it just seemed more natural to use the mouse with my right hand. I also use a trackball and vi. Logitech's Trackman is symmetrical for use with either hand.
...but not for others, depending on the quality of the material. My thinking is that you must give them a reason to pick you, so you give a few tracks (or lower quality mp3s) for free, familiarizing your prospective audience so they have a reason to give you money for more (or better quality). At least for a while, music can be dissassociated from the industry, but expect harassment from them, scrutiny for copyright infringement, for instance. If good quality artists use good quality equipment to record good quality (regardless of genre)material, the RIAA can be brushed off.
This act doesn't modify any existing restrictions, but I think that you are right in that they will claim it exempts on a default basis. Every frickin' one of them is a weasel, otherwise they wouldn't keep skulking around the henhouse.
