I don't know of any providers that offer $29.99/month broadband without requiring either cable or a phone line. And, even if they did, it would only work from my residence. With the Wi-Fi network, I can go anywhere in the downtown core and have access.
...or how long until questions about the advertisements actually appear on the test. After all, advertisers will pay more if they know their ad is actually being looked at, and what better way to guarantee that then to ask a few questions about it?
If they can disaffirm the contract at any time they wish, how is that a contract? Or do just mean that minors are able to write their name on a piece of paper?
An arbitrary restriction on the number of 'columns', or a suggestion "you don't need 100 columns" doesn't make sense. If I have 99 'columns' that are functionally dependent on another 'column', then I need 100 'columns'. Anything else would be unnormalized.
Or a driver that works properly in dual head configurations. The latest driver is a little better, supporting accelerated opengl on 2 * 1280x1024 screens, but I still can't do 2 * 1600x1200 with hardware acceleration...
At least for me, since I never throw away a working computer. I just move it to other functions (disk server, firewalls etc).
This just seems silly. A newer computer has the cycles to spare to perform all of these tasks, why waste the electricity to keep an antequated box powered up? Not to mention the added noise from the fans, the heat, and the dust that computers always seem to generate. If you'd like a seperate box for firewall/print, then get a cheap $50 router and save some electricity.
The virtue of formal texts is that their manipulations, in order to be legitimate, need to satisfy only a few simple rules; they are, when you come to think of it, an amazingly effective tool for ruling out all sorts of nonsense that, when we use our native tongues, are almost impossible to avoid.
Instead of regarding the obligation to use formal symbols as a burden, we should regard the convenience of using them as a privilege: thanks to them, school children can learn to do what in earlier days only genius could achieve.
When all is said and told, the "naturalness" with which we use our native tongues boils down to the ease with which we can use them for making statements the nonsense of which is not obvious.
How does this argument address the freedom to copy and to share?
I believe I should have the right to freely share with my neighbour. I also believe I have the right to draw mustaches on all the characters if I so choose.
These freedoms are not exclusive to software. I don't believe it's about "hindering the progress of mankind" or anything so grand as that.
I just want the simple rights I take for granted with my tangible goods.

Seems like a pretty good deal to me.

Unfortunately most laptops only support 2GB of memory.

You mean like night vision goggles?
It's not for you, it's for your mom.
Does automatically it correct your grammar too?

Property? What property? All I see is 1 and 0....
Commended for breaking in? What?

Try hitting F1 so you don't have to do it at random...
You said damn! Think of the children!
Yes, but how fast is the cache?

Very few ordinary folk own a Mac. That's not a troll, just a fact.
I don't know what's funnier - that link, or the fact that it's modded 'Insightful'.

Windows XP has tab completion at the command line, and Windows 2000 has it too if you grab tweakui.
So in addition to taking programming jobs, they're also stealing jobs away from book authors...
Clearly, something must be done.
Sure it does - it's called the ground. If jacob drives his car off a cliff and smacks into the ground, he's gonna stop real quick.
