If Quebecois only by games with all-French packaging, then the game companies would be forced to supply them. The fact that people are actually buying products with mixed-language packaging would seem to indicate that the average citizen doesn't really care. I personally cannot comprehend why some people are so fanatical that they feel compelled to legislate what is best handled by simple economics.
Fact is, there are too many colleges chasing too few students. Colleges are going out of there way to attract new students, e.g. building indoor skating rinks, jacuzzis, etc. in student unions. State schools are doing everything they can to attract out-of-state students, because they pay much higher tuitions. Those that fail to attract enough students will not have enough money to fulfill their primary function, which is still education. (Many private colleges closed their doors in the 80's, including the one I went to.) Penn State is merely pandering to their customers, 'cause if they don't, they'll have a lot fewer customers. And since it comes out of student fees anyway, it cost the university nothing! Might also free up a lot of network bandwith too, if it discourages students from running P2P software.
This can be very expensive for a law firm, since there is a lot of discovery
Especially when IBM shows up at your front door with 20 semitrailers chock full of paper and says "Here is the documentation you requested... where do you want it?"
I'm still in the process of ripping my 1000+ CD collection... which is COMPLETELY LEGAL! In fact, it appears to be necessary for backup; I've all ready found 2 CDs that are no longer playable.
Why don't musicians cut deals directly with corporations to give away access to free downloads of their music as part of promotions? Didn't McDonalds already give away cheap disks of Britney & NSync a few year back? Anybody can put up a web site and give away access codes -- why give Apple a cut?
Last time I checked, I seem to recall they said "You really shouldn't disable Windows Messenger; buy a firewall instead." (Followed by instructions on how to disable.) Now they seem to be admitting it wasn't necessary in the first place here
The concept that seems to make the whole thing make sense just occured to me: when Neo et. al. are "outside the matrix", how do you know they are really outside the matrix? Perhaps they are just in a different matrix? Doesn't this explain why damage inflicted to you in the matrix can kill you in real life, and why some of Neo's powers within the matrix seem to follow him outside the matrix? I propose this: you can never escape from the matrix; the possibility of escape is an illusion put forth by the machines to placate those that think there's something wrong. Any comments?
P.S. If we all were actually unknowingly trapped in virtual reality right now, it wouldn't do to have a movie about that subject make too much sense, would it?
"Phage" is short for "bacteriophage" -- by definition, they only attack bacteria, not "diseases". However, there has been speculation for years that viruses could be our best defense against cancer (I beleive there was speculation that some herpes viruses could attack brain tumors). But this is the first virus that appears to do the job well without serious side effects. This gives them a starting point that they can fine tune to attack the various forms of cancer without harming healthy cells.
It read: And Mr. Palmisano took the unusual step of saying that I.B.M. planned to add 10,000 workers in fields of emerging demand over the next year.

Still not clear on why IBM needs field workers...
The is American, land of the litigous and home of the lawyers. Next time some kid gets hurt playing with a gun, their family should sue Symantec for blocking the kid's access to firearm safety sites!
Your interpretation turns on the definition of "militia". At the time the ammendment was written, a militia was comprised of volunteer citizens, NOT government employees. So while you could argue that the 2nd only grants organized groups the right to bear arms, to argue that it only grants the government the right to arm itself would be preposterous.
Office 2000, and especially Office XP, don't offer anything extra that users actually want. Except the ability to correctly read all files created by Office 2000 and Office XP, which Office 97 doesn't do. The sooner we switch to an XML based standard for information interchange, instead of the proprietary and constantly changing Microsoft.DOC "standard", the better.
Everbody seems to think that "MS-Office is the de facto business standard, people will always use MS-Office!" Isn't that just like saying "Fountain pens are the de facto business standard, people will always use fountain pens!" Times change. As each new version of MS-Office becomes even less compatible with the last in an effort to force purchase of upgrades and screw software developers trying to export data to third-party applications, eventually most businesses will get wise and decide to get off the merry-go-around. But this will be more of a generational change than something that happens overnight.
Well, then these should be particularly effective against Osama Bin Laden -- hasn't he been living in a cave for the past twenty-odd years, and isn't he legally brain-damaged?

But isn't suing a law firm a lot like wrestling with a pig... "you both get dirty, but the pig enjoys it!"

Why wait for approval? Why not just inject yourself with raw sewage? There's sure to be some of the virus in it!

I think the consensus is that would make Apache's percentage larger, in that it takes more IIS boxes to handle the same load.

On those rare occasions when the cliche jokes are actually appropriate, they really are funny!

The open source developers will be amongst the last to see their (volunteer) jobs exported to India and China!
Isn't "Apple Works" almost as big an oxymoron as "Microsoft Works"?

Yes, but then the phrase "Go fuck yourself!" would lose all impact!
