I put large flaming skull stickers on my blue NC-10. I think it looks nice plus if it were to get "lost" at the airport, it'd be easy to identify walking away from me too.
IANAL and I'm jumping to the conclusion that you think Bob is guilty of infringement. What Bod did is called "Making Available" and I think we've almost driven a stake through the heart of that argument. Alice may be guilty of infringement but to prove that one would have to have provable records of her download activity which I don't see that you could get without wiretapping.
Who said anything about a desktop? I think this machine should go in the kitchen. Just stick it to a cabinet door and behold! A $600.00 recipe book with p0rn.
Actually, I like the idea but it's bit expensive after you add some more memory to make the Atom suck less.
Judging from how TPB usually responds to these kinds of accusations I'm reminded of The Three Stooges and Disorder In The Court.
Moe: "Your Honor, these gentlemen are sue-perstitious."
Then we could send them letters about our poor dead Uncle who was killed in a bloody coup and needing to transfer millions of dollars out of our county.
But I believe that given the proper role model even this "worst of the worst" Congress can do better. Is Obama such a role model? I think he is or has the potential to be that good. Will every one of these Congressmen sit up and take notice, look inside themselves and vow to become the best Congressman they can be? Certainly not, but some will.
What profit was there in being virtuous and intelligent when we were led by the righteously ignorant whose sole objective was to line the pockets of friends? There is a slight possibility that these jokers will surprise us.
I switched to FiOS a few weeks ago. I figured I'd be lucky to 80% of the advertised 10 down, 2 up speeds they were selling. Guess what? I'm getting 2 up, 10 down just like they promised. Go figure.
And the kids will still have Sponge Bob tomorrow morning.
At Networld in 1990 (I think it was) I recall some MS person talking about how Lan Man 2.0 was going to blow Netware out of the water speed-wise. Drew Major calmly responded "Maybe if you ever release it, we'll see."
That's because we ancestral victims of the War of Northern Aggression are convinced that every Yankee is an idiot. You don't know the difference between an alligator and a crocodile. You drive slow in the left lane, crowd our restaurants during season and you think a gopher is a rodent.
It's just like how you mentally deduct 20 points from your estimate of my IQ when you hear my Southern Accent.
Is it just me or are most of these Accessibility Standards (sadly) just not worth the time and trouble?
I am hearing impaired. What's the accessibility standard to help me enjoy a podcast? Do we require closed captioning for all podcasts? Require a written transcript to be posted with every podcast?
Sure, there's plenty of podcasts I'd like to "listen" to and can't but for each pound of extra baggage we pile on a publisher, we reduce the incentive to publish. How long before all this well-intentioned madness starts to limit the amount of good material that is published?
The inevitable end result is an artificial reduction in the amount of material available to all.
Like a herd of cats, these "seasoned programmers" are already motivated to go somewhere all on their own and they will without any prodding on your part. Your job is to make certain that the desired direction forward is clear, understood and changes as little as possible. After that, remove all obstacles in their path and it should be smooth sailing.
I'm the kind of guy likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder - "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecued ribs with the side order of gravy fries?" I WANT high cholesterol. I wanna eat bacon and butter and BUCKETS of cheese, okay? I want to smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section. I want to run through the streets naked with green Jell-o all over my body reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to, okay, pal?
To me, the best explanation of the Buddhist views on Reincarnation, the Soul and Immortality are found in the chapter titled Immortality http://www.sacred-texts.com/bud/zfa/zfa06.htm in the book Zen For Americans (Sermons of a Buddhist Abbot) by Soyen Shaku
"...the so-called soul is no more than the unity of consciousness which is liable at any moment to dissolve, and which comes to exist when there is a certain co-ordination of all mental faculties."
and
When we stand before a canvas painted by a great painter, do we not feel the presence of the artist, as his ideas and feelings are embodied in it? Cannot we say that the artist is still living in his work? We do not know whether his soul has gone up to the heavens and is enjoying the celestial happiness, but we do know for certain that he is still living among ourselves and inspiring us to higher ideals of life.
I highly recommend this book if like me, you are not Buddhist and merely want to understand the religion.

Why, I can make a hat or a brooch or a pterodactyl...

Am I being picky today or is English the author's second language?
Every convenience store should have a few Tribbles around.

The bloat goes in before the name goes on.

4) Test Methodology: Manufacturers are required to perform tests and self-certify those models that meet the ENERGY STAR guidelines.
Self-Certify? You've got to be kidding.
Agreed.

The only way to get rid of Dvorak is to deny him him the clicks. Don't follow the link.

The Russians do have a sense of humor. It's just a little different than ours.
Jeffrey would have given his life to have those tubes named after him.

That "Whoosh" sound you heard...
Ok, one more time, this time slowly.
Go back and watch the trailer. At the beginning of the trailer the Corvette top is up but by the time the car gets to the cliff, the top is down.
That's a major Fail, C'est Nes Pas?
That Kirk, he's really something. He can put the top down on a Corvette at 70 mph so fast you won't even see it happening.
Greed.
Actually a Star Ship can land, but only once and only in the San Francisco Bay.
