Will miss those hours examining a datascope trace with the aid of an LU6.2 manual. What's the fun when you just connect TCP/IP devices to a LAN with DHCP and it just works!
Remember the OSI protocol. How would the internet have turned out if this had been the major player? We would have probably followed the model to have separate presentation and application layer. This might have meant that we had the semantic web from day 1 rather than HTTP and browsers. It might also have meant that the world wide web and popular use of the Internet was years later, or even that company controlled networks (like the original AOL) had dominance.
You want your car in the daytime when loads are heaviest. Must not put power on lines when linemen are working on them.
True, but it could be a lot more efficient if your work's parking lot allowed you to plug in. Some companies could even use the power directly to reduce their peak workday load (for example where I work most people turn their computers on after arriving and turn them off before leaving). This would also have the advantage that they would only need to leave enough power for half your commute.
Possibly your regular commute is less than irregular trips you take at weekends, holidays, etc. You need to be able to have a 400 mile range, but 60 miles will do you on a regular day.
I'm not sure I'd say better, but with elections where it is generally acknowledged that the winner got the lower vote but the court decided, etc. I would not have rated you as a troll.
If this is ever actually implemented, I would taunt the motherfuckers to try and come "seize" me and whatever infringing media machine I might be using. At some point a man has to say "enough" and defend himself with violence from absurd laws.
That this post is a terrorist threat. Now they won't even have to pretend to treat you fairly.;-)
Note that I said "lost revenue", not "lost money". If an entity invests some amount of money and doesn't get a return on it, then they have lost money on a poor investment.
My wife could be an RIAA accountant. She often tells me that if she brought a £70 for a sale price of £50 it will save us £20. I keep telling her that buying it won't save anything - it will cost us £50, but she doesn't (or chooses not to) get it!
If the terrorists haven't won already, they probably deserve to.
Sometimes it seems that living as a dhimmi in an Islamic state would not be that different than living in Britain where our government has seen fit to make us a de-facto 51st state, but without the voting rights or constitutional protection.
If you are British don't forget that our arse-licking government has made an "agreement" where the USA can extradite anyone without showing they have a case, even for crimes committed in the UK. See here and here for details.
So if a record company thinks you might have have duplicated a disk, or videoed someone singing happy birthday you could be whisked of to the states just like that.
Actually, I expect they would support the black and white mode. Its just another video driver. What they want is to get DRM onto the machine and for kids to learn the "Microsoft" way, so that when they get jobs they will think they need office etc. To do this they will produce a base OS that does drive the hardware well and available very cheaply in third world countries.
In the days of 5.25inch floppies a colleague spilt coffee all over one. He drunk his coffee sweet, so the disk was a sticky mess. We all watched incredulously as he cut open the disk, removed the circular media and went and washed it under the tap.
He then cut open a brand new 5.25 inch disk, removed the media and placed the washed media in the sleeve, sealing it with selotape. We all laughed at his stupidity as he put this disk into his computer drive.... until it worked perfectly and he recovered all the files.
What if your employer goes bankrupt, makes you redundant, or gets taken over by a company that wants you to relocate to Japan? You could be in a sticky situation.
All you need is two grade I or II listed buildings on either side of the road and it would be illegal to widen it. In villages you often get these, sometimes not wide enough for two cars to pass - which was completely adequate a few hundred years ago. You could bypass the whole village, but if there are other adequate roads anyway what's the point.
It is not legal within the UK to serve alcohol (by which i mean lagers & beers If etc.) in anything other than multiples of half pints or pints.
That's for draught beer. Strangely bottled beer must be sold in metric units!
Also, Nigeria has a Patent Office?
In fact I got an email from them asking me for bank details so they could transfer $7,000,000 in unclaimed royalties. Ooops... I wasn't supposed to tell anyone.
There are open source patent portfolios which have been accumulated specifically to defend open source projects. I am sure that they infringe at least a few, perhaps more. Hit them with infringement suits and a cease and desist order for their products, and I expect they would quickly come to some bilateral licensing agreement.
Unless this is a company that stands to make more from "certain investors" than from continuing in their normal line of business, in which case we need to make an example by invalidating their patent claims and sue them for infringement of OS patents.
Someone needs to start digging and see how many OS patents they infringe. That is what open source companies obtained their patent portfolio for in the first place (http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/2007/05/opensource_pate.html)
They will probably come to some bilateral arrangement if they are hit by a couple of hundred infringements and a cease and desist order themselves.

Roll on the European driving license
This happens a lot. 285 ml good, half pint bad! As you say it is a metric measure therefore legal

I know Nigeria has tons of really smart people
I am not sure that James D Watson would agree with that

will she still love you more than any other guy?
I don't know, some other guys love me a lot.
An umbrella?
I don't know. You might need an unbreakable umbrella.
