I'm all for saving historical documents and everything. But with the economy the way it is right now, is this really the best thing for our _space_ agency to focus on? Don't we have some government departments just for handling historical records? Can't we just turn this over to them and let NASA focus on its basic mission?
Disney's against Net Neutrality while Slashdotters like Net Neutrality. But Disney = Pixar, which Slashdotter's like. And Pixar = Steve Jobs. Some Slashdotters don't like Steve Jobs. But Steve Jobs = Apple. Slashdotters like Apple.
I can understand preserving Armstrong's footprint. But if we don't get back in the business of going to the moon, then it's not going to do any good if no one can see it.
Ask for money for each use. Then use the accumulated money to buy another laptop. Then you have yours and another you can loan out. (And don't forget to get a $500 deposit each time they borrow it too. Just in case they don't bring it back.)
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: Knowing when to come in out of the rain; Why the early bird gets the worm; Life isn't always fair; and maybe it was my fault.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn ) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).
His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.
Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.
It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an Aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.
Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.
Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.
Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by his wife, Discretion, by his daughter, Responsibility, and by his son, Reason.
He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers; I Know My Rights I Want It Now Someone Else Is To Blame I'm A Victim
Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.
I'm so tired of this myth of Dan Quayle not being able to spell potato. It was misspelled on the card the school gave him.
Wikipedia: Although he was relying on cards provided by the school which included the misspelling, Quayle was widely lambasted for his apparent inability to spell the word "potato". According to his memoirs, Quayle was uncomfortable with the version he gave, but did so because he decided to trust the school's incorrect written materials.

Jean-Luc and Beverly's son?
I guess I'm too old to understand the not checking email thing. Checking my email is _how_ I find out when I have a message on MySpace or Facebook.
I remember years ago a game that if you died more than a certain number of times in a level it would offer to let you skip that level.
But how will you ever find out that your car warranty is about to expire?!
Every time there's a mention of the EFF on Slashdot there's a plea for money in the summary. I don't recall any other group getting such treatment.
"started to catch up to the worldwide penetration of both Sony's (50 million) and Nintendo's (100 million) devices."
But...most of the people who bought iPods/iPhones didn't buy them primarily as game machines. People who bought Sonys and Nintendos did.
"I think AT&T simply doesn't have the capacity."
I think you're right. AT&T has had years to up the capacity and have not. Now its coming back to haunt them.
Ok, let me see if I understand this:
Disney's against Net Neutrality while Slashdotters like Net Neutrality.
But Disney = Pixar, which Slashdotter's like.
And Pixar = Steve Jobs.
Some Slashdotters don't like Steve Jobs.
But Steve Jobs = Apple.
Slashdotters like Apple.
Oh man, I'm confused.
I can understand preserving Armstrong's footprint. But if we don't get back in the business of going to the moon, then it's not going to do any good if no one can see it.

So this is a Pre-Palm Pre review.
I would rather her (or any other judge) rule based on the actual law instead of her life experiences.
Sounds like this system:

That's over 100 tabs. Perhaps you should try working on a subset of things instead of multiple things at once.
