To be an illegal monopoly, you have to have both a dominant market share AND you have to implement any of a variety of shitty anti-competitive business practices.
Being dominant is not, in and of itself, enough to make a company or product an illegal monopoly.
Fixed that for you. GP wasn't referring to illegal per se, just monopoly. It's perfectly legal to be a monopoly and not engage in anti-competitive business practices.
Wow man, i thought that even in what's considered the world's coldest city, Yakutsk the coldest measured temperature was -64.4C (-83.92F). -100F (-73.3F) in Minnesota? Maybe you refer to some other Minnesota that we dont know that happens to be somewhere in siberia?:-P
The power of the Windows Run command, allows you to quickly execute a command line program, without the need to open up a command prompt.
The Power! of the Windows Run Command (TM)! Maybe I'd need it if I didn't start a few terminals while starting X (since everything is easier to do in linux on the command line). Heck, I even start a new cmd.exe on my windows machines because _almost_all_ of the stuff I want to do in windows is easier on the command line; reg.exe, pstools, net, netdom, etc. I never even knew that win+r opened the Windows Run Command (TM) dialog, but I have used alt+f2 with an Ubuntu Live CD to open gnome-terminal
Mods, please allow me my sarcasm, and don't punish me for feeding a troll.
Furthermore if you seel 100,000 pieces, every $1 of hardware is $100,000.
Ah, but Java developers can be hired at $16/hour, whereas someone who knows C / C++ (well) commands quite a bit more. Throw $100,000 of hardware at the end product and you might still be saving money. Plus, the end consumer can always be charged the difference.
But if only one nation has space based weapons (US) it would be a huge threat to the national security of every other nation (the world). Sounds like bullying to me.
You want to know why you shouldn't run into just any store with a Bat'leth demanding money? Because some store managers (apparently not 7-11's) have shotguns or handguns. Does the fact that those store employees have shotguns or handguns when almost all of their patrons don't (at least not visibly) mean the stores are bullying their patrons? A reminder that you can defend yourself against attack is not a threat.
Rewarding RIAAs laywers and appointing oppressive lawyers like the BSA to federal judgeship is something that effects geeks on this site more then funding abortions with tax dollars and the other issues he has supposedly changed.
I would argue that the rewards more unilaterally effect us geeks, but that the other issues are still more important to us (even though we split down the middle on them).
This is actual news. Person attempting robbery is news. Police looking for person attempting robbery is extra newsworthy, because people might know something. That a Bat'leth was used makes this News for Nerds in two ways: It was neat to hear about (the idleispants way), and because nerds in the area might know someone who owns a Bat'leth and is hard up for cash, or maybe a nerd got a Bat'leth stolen from him recently and it's the same criminal (although the police might already know about that).
The "parking ticket" gambit seems pretty weak too if you look around and notice two things:
1. You are parked legally
2. Everybody else has these "tickets"
1. All the more reason you'd want to contest it
2. Maybe the people leaving the tickets are instructed to ticket only 1/10 cars down a street? Even if not, I see people getting tickets all in a row quite often. Metermaids cut wide swaths with their pens.

So to say "But it gets colder where I live" really doesn't say anything of value. It just shows how self-centered and narrow-minded you can be.
Most of the "But it gets colder where I live" are directed at the exploding trees, dying livestock, and chicken-combs falling off.

He explicitly stated -100F was Wind Chill.
Excellent, use, of commas, in, the Kirk paraphrase!
Mission accomplished; now the consumer will consume again instead of reusing the original product.
Ah, NM, seems it was fixed mid-2008:

Gnome-terminal for wimps. Real geek uses the non-X11 terminals and GNU Screen ;)
I'd use screen much more often if the scroll-back didn't suck.

Because many of the major ISPs are also Cable TV companies.
Local Authorities in the US have been doing this for years; just no one's been caught rigging.

Weasely is the nickname given to Wesley Crusher by people who hate him (almost every viewer of TNG)
I can't help but think of The Game.
I think you just wanted an excuse to start a Die-Weasely-Die thread.
Popups are why I hesitate to go to weather.com
If you're in the US, use weather.gov It's where weather.com and local broadcasters get their weather data from anyway.

Reference from a decade back. Bravo!
And when it smells blood it goes into a biting frenzy, and it breeds out of control.
the question of how we would treat sub-humans will have to wait until we actually figure out how to make them
Why? I think it _should_ be the other way around.
My version doesn't have fundamentalism. I always choose monarchy.
Take a look at MS's forums. There are posts from last August about this add-on crashing Firefox.
Hmm... Seems they deleted one already. This is the only one left.

I can safely say I don't use .net - I run Linux, and MS has written it so that it will, hands down, absolutely NOT run on my computer.
Have you apt-get/yum updated mono lately? I wonder if there's a mono-framework-addistant-mozilla-plugin-0.0.1.x86_64.deb/rpm
Evil genius if it also works on the Y and N keys.
