Not to mention that it's trivial to get your machine re-authorized over the phone if you actually did buy your copy of the OS and end up being a false positive.
Hell, Microsoft reauthorized my OEM copy of Vista Home Premium twice when I moved the install to a new system, in spite of the license saying they don't allow that. Awfully kind of them, I thought.
So the entire article is a load of shit. I expect better from Slashdot editors than greenlighting a load of sensationalist horseshit about a technical issue.
I'd think that, with as low a UID as you have, that you'd be used to the slashdot editors finding the most misleading and inaccurate summary of all the submissions to select for posting.
Which suggests that the movies are, on their own, good films. It's the same sort of phenomenon as Trek 2009. If you know nothing about Star Trek, you probably like Trek 2009.
The only other real path that's shown any sort of empirical evidence is genetic. That's where it will pan out, most likely. Genetic changes can be caused by a wide variety of things, but again, it's hard to say anything real about ASD in terms of causes, because ASD encompasses a variety of *very* different disorders.
Oh, and it's "Autism Spectrum Disorder" now, which includes everything from very slight Aspergers to the very profoundly autistic. This is a good measure of the increase, if not most of it.
As was my private Catholic school (an advantage I promptly squandered, alas). Nonetheless, I suspect that the median Catholic school in the US provides an overall superior educational experience to the median public school.
I can only tell you first-hand about the quality of Catholic school teachers, but from 2nd hand stories and the very little contact I had with public school teachers, the Catholic school teachers seemed to be of higher ability and experience.
Now, there's some caveats. Rural schools often have less of a talent pool, so you'll get some variance there. Additionally, it wasn't until relatively recently that Catholic schools stopped primarily using nuns, fathers, and brothers for their teaching/admin staff. As such, anyone who was in Catholic education before (estimating here) the mid-80's probably has a very different view of Catholic schools (the last brother in my primary/junior high left before I got to junior high in the late 1980's and the last nun who was principal retired around 1988).
The difference is that, by and large, Catholic schools these days have a "religion" class, and then, for all practical purposes, the education is demanding, high-quality *secular* education.
At least, that's how it is in the first world

I'm sure it's great for people who enjoy reading text that is the size of nutritional information on the side of a cereal box, and don't mind scrolling at lot, plus making sure the glare isn't too bad.
But if his requirement was that it be a good ebook reader and be able to move his own files to it, and he thought the iPod Touch was a good candidate, that's a lack of research.
Sure, and some people like natto. However, doing even a little research would have shown you the issues with using the "ebook reader" paradigm for the iPod Touch.
Your (moving goalpost) point of it being multipurpose is fine, but if your sticking point was that 'you couldn't get your own media onto the device' simple research would have revealed such.
Not to mention that Apple's basic paradigm with their iPod/iPhone device is "if you can't get it through the iTunes store or an app, it doesn't belong on the device."
And the fact that the iPod Touch doesn't have removable media... man, I just don't know how you could do research and think it was a good candidate.
I did a lot of research, so I thought I knew what I was getting into. To my surprise, one of the most important functions I wanted in a book reader was not there -- I could not import my own documents.
Seems that the problem there is that you suck at product research. Seriously. An iPod Touch for book reading? About an hour of research with Google would have revealed a myriad of devices with better ebook capabilities than the iPod Touch.
It's stuck at the Martian version of "lover's point". The place the rover is stuck in is where the Martian teenagers park their '67 Chevys and go necking (with their three necks, of course). All that rocking has made the soil in that spot very loose.
Eventually someone will come along and decide the rover is in their spot and push it out of the way. At that point, NASA will be ready to go again.

They're not all cookie-cutter, assembly line baby incubators that fawn over chocolates and flowers and get broody when you mention children.
No, just most of them.
it's the one that is perfect, but you didn't even know you wanted.

Hugh Grant, is that you?

For the record, I dislike Trek 2009. :)
I, again personally, have found that the quality of the films has increased as time as gone on.
It left no real impression either way on me. So... I guess, I thought of it neutrally?
I haven't read any Harry Potter and I have found all the HP films to be very enjoyable, personally.
The butthurt is strong with this one.

No, autism *diagnosis* is on the rise. It is a subtle but important difference.
It's pretty cool, though I'll hold out for the one that has freestanding holograms for the game pieces.

It's already pretty cold out there.
IIRC its the granularity of the soil particles that is the issue (not to mention the 2 broken wheels).

Sunlight isn't required to "activate" Vitamin D. It's that sunlight causes our bodies to naturally produce it.
