I've heard an old song by the Carpenters (sister and brother) which had a line "... and solitaire is the only game in town... " The term "solitaire" merely refers to any one-player game. Klondike, Freecell, Spider, are all forms of solitaire card games. The fact that the Carpenters used the term in a song does not imply that they were referring specifically to one variant.
Well, for one I guess just-another-printed-copy of an email will never sell for as much as the original of a handwritten (or even typed) letter:) Is Stephen Colbert a mod? Why does something have value or importance only if it sells for a lot of money?
Especially when that something is an idea. The important aspect of the letter is the ideas contained within it. If a good idea is written in a manner that can be disseminated widely, then that is much more valuable. Selling the paper it's written on is just idol worship.
They've come along way in Hydrogen technology since the Hindenberg. What, you mean advances in compressed hydrogen? Yeah, that'll be useful in a lighter-than-air vessel.
Or maybe you're under the impression that they've invented flame-retardant hydrogen?
3)... spam triggers I encountered a user who did not realize any difference between the "junk" folder and the "trash" folder, and was subsequently confused as to why legitimate mail was not showing up in the Eudora mailbox.
Given the dictionary definition for "junk", this is not an unreasonable mistake.
But only the NSA, with its arsenal of waivers, loopholes, special authorizations (and heaven knows what else)... No, Heaven doesn't have the security clearance to access that information.
What about if I'm tired but still really need to get somewhere? It's safer then for me to talk to someone to keep me awake, no? If you're so tired that you're afraid of falling asleep while driving home, don't drive your fucking car.
That might not be quite a useful security feature, as it would require putting your sensitive documents in the sun for 12 months in order to achieve these results.
TFA says that when they were kept covered, or even in indoor lighting, there was very little fading.
You mean you haven't seen them fire the ICANNon in the Digital War reenactments? It's quite the thing to watch. The sound of tens of thousands of bubbles bursting leaves you with a feeling of awe.
Fine, so let's slightly redefine the question: If a tree falls in a forest and there's no human animal capable of counting to hear it, does it make a sound?
But a software clipboard hook will still get you. Only if you enter the characters in order, and if you don't enter wrong characters and then select them and paste over them.
(and let me tell you, typing out this post with copy-paste was a serious pain!)
Seriously. If we sacrifice all our resources (financial and natural) by trying to "prevent" global warming, and it turns out that we can't--or even if we just couldn't do enough--we'll be fucked.
Sure, we should move toward sustainability, and reduce our consumption of resources, but investing craploads of money in projects whose sole benefit is a reduction in CO2 emissions is far too open to corruption.

Based on some of the e-mail I deal with, I wouldn't be so quick to imply a correlation between ability to send an e-mail and literacy. :P

Canada turning a US citizen back to the US is different from the US putting a returning US citizen through this sort of rigmarole.
