You had me until literature. Lots of bands suck live, also I have the same gripes as you about concerts. I do, however, love to hear an author read his/her work.
Perhaps I am less literate than you, but I get a lot more out of it that way.
Perhaps I misread the GP, I read it to be that the current administration would be the one declareing martial law, post-election, pre-handover. As you say, they are the ones who have created the vast majority of the current problems - what's one more?
Looks like a Mac Fanboy got mod points. That is my biggest pet peeve when using a friend's Mac - the only time I'm/not/ running maximized is when I have multiple windows open that I need to use more-or-less at once.
I'm not familiar with Amiga's pages, but even on my widescreen monitor I am maximized 95%+ of the time.
FWIIW, YMMV, IANAL (not sure why that one matters;) )
...a port that Wikipedia doesn't acknowledge exists... That darn Wikipedia. I'm sick of closed databases of information. Why can't someone create an open encyclopedia that anyone can contribute to?
(If you didn't grin, that sound you heard was 'whooosh')
Yeah, we're gonna be in REAL trouble when they learn to embed cameras' serial numbers in a digital photo non-digitally... for one thing, they'll be a ***** to transport;)
That must classify as the stupidest thing I have heard all week. I would say all month but we are only 8 days into March. That makes sense. We're 5 days into the week and only 8 days into the month, so let's say all week since it is more than all month (assuming GMT > +3, it's even sillier here in the US).
Your subsequent comments were not without merit, but since you were kind enough to point out to the GP that his comment was stupid, I felt compelled to recipicate on his behalf.
THANK YOU! You have no idea how much time I've wasted wondering about that very thing. I mean, it seems like a lot of wasted space, until you consider the obvious;)
Sheesh, I know, I worry about odd things, but I never did (until now) understand why the heck they didn't bother with the numeric keypad!
Now can you explain the single mouse button?;)
(no this was not sarcasm, yes I am serious that not knowing why they (and others) have done this has bugged me for a while, yes the mouse button was a joke, yes this is OT, feel free to mod as such)
UTOPIA is a beautiful thing. I had it for about a year and a half (Murray, UT - just moved, no longer avbl to me:( ). Lots of negative advertising by Comcast about how it will ruin/bankrupt/whatever our city, but they are obviously running scared. Reminds me of the movie Head of State ('He's for CANCER!').
On UTOPIA, I got 15mbit each way, seeing sustained downloads of ~11mbit from usenet (uh, doing a lot of reading...). Comcast started offering their $70 plan for $33/mo (+ taxes) to try to compete (UTOPIA is $40/mo taxes included through xmission) but it's still only 7mbit (lucky to see 4 in my experience) down and 768 up (they actually get pretty close to that, again, in my experience).
Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but isn't this the sort of muni internet access talked about above? AFAIK (IMBW), the city ownes it & ISPs sell access to it.
I gotta agree with this (why the heck a Troll mod?!?). I would say the disparity between Gimp & PS is greater than OOo & MS Office, but if you will forgive a non-car analogy;) this is apt to be more akin to Writely/Google Docs.
I'd love to be wrong, It would be nice to be able to Photoshop at work/where-ever in downtime when I don't have it locally installed, but just as Google's Doc & Spreadsheets don't *really* compete with even OOo, I can't see this being as good let alone better than Gimp. Unless they have one of those new teraflops & you basically use terminal services to their server to run it...:)
Ya, I suspect the ACLU has more political clout though, and due to sig length limits, I had to keep it to two. Of course there are many organizations that one would do well to join. Heck, I'd like to see a mass exodus from the Repub/Dem parties to Constitution/Lib/Green parties too, but again, sigs can only be so long:)//Mod note: yes, this is slightly OT for TFA, but on topic for the thread direction. Feel free to mod either way, my Karma can take it.
I, for one, think it *is* unfair that I can't add an outside door to my office. I mean, I've got a perfectly good sledgehammer... and while we're on the subject, I don't see why I can't drive my motorcycle all the way up to my desk. It would save a lot of walking / wasted time walking.
Oh my gosh, I haven't agreed with a post more in a long time. I think the only way we're (read:USA) gonna get our collective heads out of [fill in the blank: sand/dark smelly place/you get the idea] is if everyone else - even our '51st state' - shows us how asinine we're being. 'Land of the Free, home of the brave' should not be an ironic statement! we've toppled less-totalitarian governments than our own, if only the UK would wise up we'd be forced to realize the truth.
Too bad they are probably even worse off than we are. Perhaps if/when we clean up our act you (read:UK) can follow our example back from the darkside.
Cheers to Bob, Big Cheers to Canada. Read my sig, both groups are opposed to the crap that is going on these days (albeit the ACLU more than the NRA).

I wouldn't buy it used, though .... mmmm lithium residue!
You can still get full-size version too, http://www.pckeyboard.com/onthestk.html
I love 'em, nice to not have to reach for a mouse when you gotta use one.
Meh, that can be faked.
Ya, Microsoft would like to sell you one of those too.

Rule #2 is you are not allowed to read the 'secret' portions of the act.
Nah, to headoff the comments, it'd have to be in the summary, no one actually READS TFA (except apparently you ... that is odd ;) )
:)
Further, it would only eliminate about 1/2 if in summary, as I think a lot of people don't even read that

Ya, but the standard DVD-rip of Firefly's first (and so far only) season is only about 6.5GB... ;)
