Give me a few private minutes with a paper ballot box and I can stuff it full of ballots for my candidate. That's an old-school hack.
Which works quite nicely if you want to rig the vote for your local assemblyman. Try applying your "old school hack" to a Presidential, or even Congressional, election.
The bankruptcy judge (Gross iirc) seems quite happy to see the SCO management running the company and continuing the transfer of funds to the judicial system.
Ford does make a hybrid SUV. It's the Escape, which is their "small" model. While soccer moms may like it, I'm pretty sure Hummer owners won't be beating a path to the Ford dealer for one.
Therefore to make Voting Day a holiday would not improve voter participation in any meaningful way--it would be like a bank/civic holiday--just be an excuse to stay home and drink beer.
There really should be a beginner certification =) Something that says you've trained on the basics of project management and you're serious about it.
You may want to check out the CAPM (Certified Associate in Project Management). You're eligible if you work 1500 hours of project work, or if you take 23 hours of project management training.
Someone older than me jump in: were 8 track players all that popular? Did everyone have one?
I'm going to show my age here, but...
When I was growing up in the '60's and early '70's, 8-track tapes were quite popular. Almost all home stereo systems had a player. There were several portable units you could get as well. I remember my first tape player was a bright yellow Sony. In fact, as late as the mid '80's, you could get an 8-track player for your car. Radio Shack used to carry an adapter that would let you play cassette tapes on an 8-track player.
Since they make it a point to ask for "the name of the person making the submission, his or her title, organization, mailing address, telephone number, telefax number and e-mail address" (taken straight from the gov't site), I'd say that it doesn't matter if you're an American citizen or not. In fact, well-written responses from outside the United States would probably be most helpuful.
So, remind me again why a self-aware machine would crave to be human?
The 'why' in this case is not important, as technically, you're correct. The main reason for this plot device, IMNSHO, is that it is an attempt to turn the question back on us. Asimov uses the 'self-aware machine', as well as the Three Laws of Robotics, to try to make us think about what it means to be human. By the way, I read the original short story when it first came out in 1976, and have recently re-read it. I thought it was a wonderful story back then, and I still do today. I don't think I'll see the movie, though.
Finally, you may not think humans are special from where you are, but I think they're cool, for the most part.
>We call this a shell, and it's smart enough that it can accomodate just about any user.
Yes we do, but John and Jane Sixpack call it "a bunch of typing that I shouldn't have to do."
My point is that the previous poster is correct in that, although we may not like it, if Linux is to make any significant dent in the desktop it needs to be relatively drool-proof

I thought everyone already knew that the "special sauce" in a Big Mac is thousand-island dressing.
This is America. Everything government does is treasonous and everything business does is beautiful!
That's not been the case in the countries that do in fact have total government control of health care spending.
(Fingers in ears) La-la-la I can't hear you!
Corrected for you

Let me know how that works out for you.
Be a troll and you can live under a bridge!

Fixed that for you.
The problem is, that requires effort and thoughtfulness. Sending "tweets" is obviously better.
And will these preferences including turning the "AwesomeBar" off completely? Because that's what I want.

I'm afraid you may be confusing Don Giovanni, Steve Ballmer, etc...
It looks to me as though they think ethics == avoiding criminal behavior
I think I've found my new signature.
And this is a bad thing why? ;)

Geez! Don't give these loonies ideas!
At the risk of sounding like an old fart, I remember watching Ms. Tomlin on Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In way back in the day.

I only hope she practices on me, and not the kids.
Just to let you know, the link is down. Perhaps it's been Slashdotted?
Try this!
I just tried that on my IE 6.0.2600 on Win2K SP2. It works exactly the same as the back button.
Fortunately for me, I usually use Mozilla.

you'd have to sue makers of hammers, guns, and anything else used by criminals.
Well, they're already suing gun manufacturers in Chicago...and I think the DOJ and HUD are planning another suit against the gun makers.
If I made hammers, I'd be shaking in my boots right about now.
