    You mean the people who they are trying to target don't watch television?

  2. Re:Save klingonese wikipedia on The Struggle of an African-language Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    How much does it take to host something that small? Its an interesting novelty, and it might cost them $1 a year. I say all this as a donor of Wikipedia ($.02, with an accompanying "here's my two cents ).

    Even Mac OS X includes support for the Klingon language, although the operating system doesn't have any Klingon language files. The next application I write for it will.

    Oh, WE don't have AC. I steal those filters from the air conditioning system for the CEO. Your bike system sounds pretty nice, we have to blow on the servers. And an 8-track player? After one of us collapses from trying to cool the servers, he'll generally tap on the floor to entertain us.

    Rather than it shows in us and this being writing the article from scratch, easy. You try the fact that the output of Babelfish is read in the typical Japanese page and are high.

    That is your post, auto translated from English->Japanese->English.

    Wow, I didn't think there was a klingon wikipedia.

    That's simply not true.

    It is not easier to learn, there are many more rules and intricacies, and many more exceptions to those rules, and it is much harder to understand when poorly written or spoken.

  11. Re:This doesn't solve the original problem on Ad-supported Textbooks Are Here · · Score: 1

    These companies aren't selling the books to students, who pay the high prices, but to professors. The price of the book is one of the "features", and one that professors may or may not care about. The market is working very well for the people the publishers are selling the books to, as they get the books for free. Cartels only exist in the sense that students have no choice in a given course, and these cartels are created by the professors, not the publishers.

    I was assuming that it was protected, and responding to his objections to the security officials search.

    Also, free speech except when someone doesn't like what you are saying is troubling. For now, "hate" might only apply to idiots who support such violence. Tomorrow, it may apply to someone who doesn't like paying for a legislators yacht.

    Oh yeah? I have to grow the coffee myself, then pick it. Then I grind it with a stone, put it in a bowl (hewn from stone) with water (reclaimed from the air and heated on servers) and I filter it with old AC filters. Then coworkers usually steal the coffee.

    He can't be accused of a crime for hate propaganda, but it would be a tip for the security official to be more suspicious.

    The prices aren't high because of marketing, they are high because they can be. If a course requires a book, then students have to buy it. The books compete to be used in courses, but after that they must be used by the students. If everyone used the same book, prices would be astronomical.

    No matter how you feel about them, the Bush administration has never publicly stated that they wanted to annihilate a nation. And they are not holding the world at a nuclear gunpoint.

    The current Iranian administration is dangerous. Leaders who want to wipe Israel off the map probably aren't making nuclear power plants to save the owls from the fossil fuels they export in huge quantities. Someone has to stop them.

    I guess we think we are people who don't want to be blown up. At some point you have to look at who is "good" and who is "bad", and not let the bad people have nuclear weapons.
