Is there a way for the winners of the disputes to recoup their legal expenses? Otherwise, I think most private people would rather hand over their domains at the first sign of trouble.

nForce2 Preview
·
· Score: 1
Now with the nForce2 there's another option for me. If I want I can get an nForce2 board without integrated video that still takes advantage of Dual Channel DDR400 (how many other mainboards have that?) and has high-end audio, USB 2.0, Firewire, and dual ethernet controllers built in.
First, let me point you to this NVIDIA nForce2 Preview from AnandTech. Lots of people (myself included) prefer Anand's articles to Tom's.
On page 3 of the article Anand writes:
Weve proved in the past that the dual channel memory architecture, which NVIDIA is now calling DualDDR, only provides a performance improvement in 3D games with integrated graphics enabled. The reason that adding more memory bandwidth doesnt improve overall system performance is because the Athlon XPs FSB is stuck at 133MHz offering up to 2.1GB/s of bandwidth between the Athlon XP and the nForce2 IGP/SPP. With a maximum of 2.1GB/s of data going between the CPU and the IGP/SPP, having twice or even three times that bandwidth between the IGP/SPP and main memory is useless without a memory bandwidth hungry device eating up the remaining bandwidth.
Recently I reprised On a Pale Horse with my girlfriend and I discovered to my discomfort that it dealt very explicitly with underage sex in a way that sexualized young girls in particular.
"Underage" is a very subjective term. The legal age of consent varies across countries and what is deemed underage in one place can be considered a "veteran" in another. According to this table the legal age of consent in Tunisia is 20 years, making most college students "underage" according to that country's laws. On the other hand, other countries set the age of consent at 14 (Canada, China, Iceland, Italy, etc.), 13 (Korea, Spain, etc.) or even 12 (Chile, Mexico). So, unless the sexual acts described by Mr. Anthony involved sixth-graders, they would appear legal, moral and natural to at least a part of his audience.
[...] an underage girl uses a protracted stay in Purgatory in order to be able to have legal sex with a much older priest. Significantly, she is only 18 "by law". Physically and mentally she is 16 when she has sex with the priest. We are supposed to have any moral questions calmed by this.
Yet again people confuse legality with morality. The law does not define morals. The mere fact that a bunch of politicians in some country or state decided to outlaw consensual sex under the age of 18 does not make that act any more or less (im)moral. While I am not familiar with the scene that konstant mentioned, it is an interesting way for a person (in a fantasy setting) to comply with the letter of the law, particularly if the person (or the author) disagrees with the spirit of that law.
as someone who is disquieted by the influence you may have had upon my young sexuality
Oh, please!
I would like to know candidly whether you are attracted to underage women.
Consider an average human male with what is commonly considered a "normal" sexual orientation. That person's attraction to women is not based on the birth date entry in their passports, nor on the local definition of "underage".
Variations in the speed of sexual maturity being what they are, it is not uncommon to see a "quick" 13 years old who looks more sexually mature then an 16 years old late bloomer. Which one would you find more attractive (without asking for ID)?
While I mostly use Google nowadays, I sometimes find their query syntax restricting.
1. No complex boolean expressions 2. No proximity operators 3. No wildcards or stemming
It would be possible to work around these restrictions, but there I stumble into the big one:
4. Queries are limited to 10 words or less.
These restrictions are even more problematic when I search Google's Usenet archives because often only a couple of posts will contain the information that I need.
I miss the more powerful query syntax of DejaNews. While Google is nominally faster, that speed is irrelevant when I have to reformulate my query 4 times to zoom in on a specific post.
Not directly related to the server farm but nonetheless...
Google currently restricts searches to: * 10 words or less * No wildcards * No stemming * No boolean expressions to speak of * No proximity operators.
While I can use AltaVista (or some other competing search engine that supports more complex queries) for Web search, there is no alternative for Usenet search.
It does not impress me that Google presents its list of relutls in less than a second if I have to spend several minutes composing different queries in an attempt to overcome the abovementioned limitations.
Why won't Google offer a more advanced query language as an option?
I am currently using the Visual Studio IDE for C++ programming. The feature that I like the most is that I don't need to start another application for debugging my code.
Is there a better IDE that runs under Windows and has an integrated debugger that is at least as powerful and easy to use as the built-in MSVC++ debugger (and can debug code generated by MSVC++)?

Send a similar letter to your employer, specifically pointing out the direct and indirect costs that they will save by using non-proprietary software.
Send the link to your friends asking them to do the same.

Er, no. That would be a FORTH quarter. Also notice that forth is not capitalized.
So a " forth quater " is something like "going forward four times" or maybe "stuck FF button".
<obGeek> "FORTH quater" would be something like:
: quater (n1 -- n1) dup 2dup
