I would wager that a majority of people these days are feminists in the sense that they want men and women to have equal opportunities and rights. Unfortunately, the word "feminism" means a lot of things to a lot of people, so most shy away from the label. To some it means "man-hater," and to others feminism is some kind of affirmative action for women.
I believe in equal treatment of men and women. I don't call myself a feminist.
So one guy's presentation was tasteless and crass. I'm a man, and I don't want porn in my programming reference materials (I would assume that even the biggest fan of porn would find it weird at the least that that was in a Ruby presentation. Java, maybe).
I'm a US student and I got Win7 Pro from MSDNAA, but it's only available to Computer Science and Engineering students. Before that I had to torrent Win7 like the rest of Slashdot.
Do what I do with discount cards: find the phone number of someone who has one of those, then punch it in when you shop (I know Safeway lets you do this). The added bonus is that it throws off tracking of whomever you got the number from as well.
Advanced mathematics and science textbooks are (very) expensive. My textbooks for calc-based physics, differential equations, and discrete math all ran me well over $100 (highest was $180). For some reason, the assigned textbook is also always the worst in its field...
Put the bike on the bus. Many have something on the front you can attach it to.
Not that I think that isn't stupid (why take the bus when you have a perfectly good bike with you?).
AB is also like an intro course, just the second-quarter intro. Having taken CS AB (and gotten a 5), then taken the course it's "equivalent" to (CSE 143 here at UW-Seattle), the college version is also quite a bit more challenging (but if you can take the AP test, you can do well in the class).
For that matter, learn modern database query techniques. That how-to guide you read over the weekend that shows you how to do
mysql_query("SELECT * FROM USERS WHERE name=
{$_POST['username']}' AND PASSWORD=
'{$_POST['password']}'")
was a nice teaching tool, but PHP 5 + PDO/mysqli can accomplish this with placeholders. That's not to say you shouldn't validate your data to make sure that it's what it should be, it's just that if you screw that up but use placeholders, your damage is minimal.
That's still an improvement. If the company's cost-benefit analysis says that hiring a new employee will add $1000 more in costs than in benefits to the company, then without this credit they won't hire a new employee and with it they probably will.
Very simple. You have a strange view of what "Monopoly" means.
Microsoft has a monopoly in Operating Systems. Linux can get you very far, but sometimes you really do need commercial software for something and Microsoft's massive market share means you have to dual-boot or do without. In other words, Linux and Windows are not substitute goods; Linux does some things Windows can't (natively), and vice versa.
Apple, on the other hand, is producing a media player that can play the most popular open format (mp3), widely available formats (aac via the m4a format, wav), and a lesser proprietary format (Apple lossless). While aac files in.m4p format are indeed only available for use on the iPod, consider that iTunes does not have a monopoly on music sales. Indeed, many users of iPods find that filling up 40 gigabytes of hard drive space with music is an insanely expensive proposition for them, and get their music for free elsewhere.
Interestingly, most of the music I can get for free is in lame's VBR V0 format, free of any transcoding - higher quality than I can possibly need. For iTunes you pay a 30% premium to get that kind of quality.
GP is obviously interested in a war of words - being a "hard drive based" music player is not an advantage over being flash-based; indeed, flash-based players are less likely to die after a year or so of hard use. I drop my Nano on a regular basis on concrete, asphalt, etc., and it continues to play exactly as it did the day I bought it.
Oh, and tell me how many teenagers are going to put "Portable Digital Media Player" on their Christmas list.

The quality is all the same to me so long as I arrive at my destination in one piece.
You said abuse twice.
An apt typo. According to Google, "tit" is, in fact, wrong.

What are you talking about? There are several pages of citations attached to "The Waste Land."
I don't know much about it, but shouldn't disabling AMT in the BIOS essentially solve the problem?

I'm deaf in my right ear, I must be tight-fisted. ;)

Yes, you're tough because you're from Minnesota and used to the cold, so everyone who isn't is a pussy.
He's actually got a blog post on it right here: http://monty-says.blogspot.com/2008/07/what-if.html

No, they didn't. When you link articles, at least read the summary. "The ban expired on September 13, 2004, as part of the law's sunset provision."
My desktop works just fine. Wait, crap...

There's also the simple fact that there are so many laws out there you can break them without even knowing it any more...
