... and I must say, I'm impressed. I used Opera for a few years before IE7 came out (had to be IE7 for work...) and going back is amazing. It renders incredibly quickly, and AJAX'd pages with tabs (iGoogle, etc.) actually work more like desktop apps than web pages. Much impressed.
... at an asteroid. Asteroid deflected, yay us, go team. Weeks later, as radiation rains down from on high, we look back on our decision as "ill-planned" and "misguided."
This is a good thing? I mean sure we avoided a mass extinction, but we caused another.
Just my $0.02.
If I'm not misktaken, there are filtered holes for air inake to provide a cushion between the head and platter... Without the air, the head crashes and digs into the drive platter. Now, I didn't RTFA, but still. Liquid-tight cases are also gas-tight, and my buddy O2 is a gas at parties.
Or he might throw the whole damned hutch! Imagine Ballmer a a state dinner. If he hit the waiter, it could mean the overthrow of Turkey, the downfall of Greece, and the breakup of China! The man's a war waiting to happen all on his own.
... I can tell you this won't be isolated. I went to Westside High School, also in HISD with Clements, and, as a comp sci project, built a 3D map of my school based on the floor plan (which was given to me by the instructor).
HISD is notorious for its use of Cryofreeze on every machine, administrative, student, or otherwise. This isn't a great stretch of the imagination from the mindset HISD rent-a-cops have.
Students can't be trusted
Video games can't be trusted
Kids playing video games sure as hell can't be trusted
Games are all violent
Kids playing games are all violent and must be stopped
Civil rights? Haven't you heard of implied consent? Your rights get checked at the door; we own you. We're the Deciders®, goddamnit, and we say you snot-nosed brats are out to kill everyone.
Would that I were making this up. I went through 10 years of this shit.

Opera's had this feature for quite awhile, with a combobox even! Select the site from the list or browse to it, Open the page properties, and set it to Opera/IE/FF and be done with it.
As a Texan and a hunter/fisherman, this is both very interesting and worrying to me. When the guide sights in on a hunting buddy who pissed him off the other day, does the blind guy get a charge of
A) Negligent Manslaughter
B) Murder
C) Involuntary Manslaughter
or does he get charged as an accomplice in the case, sharing the guide's sentence/charge?
You can see such things in the arts, as well. Modern art tends to be more about ideas than actually perfecting a technique. One need not have apprenticed or studied much art at all to produce a reasonable facsimile (to the untrained eye, of course) of, say, a Jackson Pollock or a Mark Rothko piece, whereas if you were to attempt to fool this same untrained eye into believing your painting on the wall is an original Raphael or Rubens, it would require quite a bit more effort.
...and should not be from a legal perspective. For example, there is no click-through agreement I must re-affirm each and every time I use my credit card, yet I am still bound by its terms of use agreement. That agreement also states that the agreement may be amended with fair warning, and continuing use of the credit card is a tacit agreement to any future updates to the terms of use.
There's a little bit at the bottom of the receipt you sign, which says "By signing this you agree to pay this amount according to the cardholder terms" or something to that effect. It is a contract, just not a click-through. You're thinking of implied consent.
One way or the other it is costing IBM. You know the saying, "There's no free lunch."
However, there is a thing known as free beer. You can pick some up tomorrow. SCO got their lawyers for $BEER, more likely: you'd have to be totally toasted to try this crap. Also, looking at the share prices, $Z>$BEER.

Perhaps some guy named Andrew will figure it out in a couple hundred years...
No, no, must be something in Italian. This is a major award, after all!
Well, yeah. This is true. Except that the whole thing would vanish in a puff of logic and poetic irony.
I'm really not so excited as to merit such a prodigious number of exclamation points, I swear. They just happened, officer! Really, they did!
To Photoshop! Away! I must design a label! The "Anti-Label Label" is the new "organic" or "all-natural"!
His wife Jane is a bit of a sleaze too...
Westinghouse just has the cojones to admit that they were, in whatever part, wrong.
