You know, as much as I like the spirit of net neutrality, I've always found it suspicious that the same./ers who tell the government to "keep out of my internets" are so supportive of giving the government more footholds in regulating the net.
The goal of maintaining a free Internet is more important than political ideology.
The Democratic Party would never get a landslide without CA.
In the 2008 election, Obama won the Electoral College vote 365 to 173. California has 55 Electoral College votes. Even taking away those votes and giving them to McCain (instead of them going to a third candidate or just abstaining) would make the result 310 to 228. Maybe you don't consider that a landslide, but it's certainly a pretty clear victory.
just like how gas prices weren't going to go up once we got the oil man out of office. well, he's out and prices are going back up. does this make barak an oilman now?
I would guess that the prices going back up now are correcting for the over-large decrease of the previous few months. Israel's attack of Hamas also made people a bit nervous about the whole region. Assuming we get anything sort of resembling stability (both economic and foreign relations; yes, I know how big of an assumption that is), I'd figure gas prices in the U.S. to settle in the $2.00-$2.50 range.
I had a pair of professors in college whose ~4-year-old managed to cause a kernel panic on one of the professor's office computer. I don't think her parents ever figured out how she did it.
I'd guess that reality is somewhere in between the two statements above. Most home users probably aren't printing more than a couple pages a day, maybe even less, but I have trouble believing that there are many home users that never print anything.
Just about any single-system, single-user program that needs a database should be using SQLite. After all, that's what it's designed to do. Fortunately I don't use KMail.
Okay, just checked it on 4.2. If you go to the panel's settings, there should be "Height" in the middle of the bar above the panel, which you can click/drag to adjust the height of the panel. In 4.1, I vaguely remember that you had to click/drag the top edge of the settings bar, but I could be wrong on that.
Nah, there wasn't really anything wrong with your metaphor, it's just that cable companies already do this, and have been doing it for many years now. I guess you could say the Internet is the same in this respect; I pay for access to tons of sites (or bandwidth on wires, if you prefer) that I'll never use, but lots of people pay for stuff that I use that they don't, so it generally tends to balance out in the end.
Imagine if your cable company FORCED you to buy Animal Planet with their service. Now imagine that they forced you to buy HGTV, Bravo, and a bunch of others.
I dunno, let's see if I can imagine your scenario...
What version of KDE? I thought vertical sizing for panels was added in 4.1. If the Settings button isn't at the end of the panel, right-click the panel and see if you have the settings locked.
Auto-hide was finally implemented for 4.2. I've noticed a few times where it doesn't auto-hide correctly, and I had to move my mouse over the panel and back off it, but it generally works nicely.
I greatly prefer C# to Java, and see very little similarity between them.
LOL... that's all I can really say about that.
Have you actually tried using C#, or are you basing your judgement on reading about its features?
Granted, I haven't written anything in C# in a couple years, but last time I did, yes, it was very similar to Java. Personally, I think it's better than Java (Generics and Delegates being the two things that stuck out at the time), but I don't really think you can deny the basic similarities in the paradigms of the two.
And even the law isn't so blind as to be able to be otherwise. Invading Iraq was immoral and illegal and ALL of the people who participated in it, from top to bottom, committed a crime. Pure and simple.
Not matter how big of mistake the Iraq invasion was, not every soldier is guilty of a crime. I can't imagine any war crimes tribunal finding any soldier guilty just for being a member of the military. "I was just following orders" is not a valid defense only against specific actions (e.g. shooting civilians); "being there" is not a specific crime.
Really, XML has got to be the MOST proprietary format of them all, as none of the tags have standardised names or meanings, everything is flexible, everything is left to the whims of the individual service suppliers, and every poor developer (me included) has to learn another structure and it's naming conventions before we can do anything else useful with the XML feed itself.
Um, isn't that like saying "C/Java/Perl/Python is the most proprietary language of them all"? XML is just a language. Complaining that XML tags have no standard meaning is like complaining that C variables have no standard meaning.
Back when XP came out, the benefit over Win2K was negligible.
To be fair, though, XP wasn't really meant to be an upgrade from Win2k as much as an upgrade from Win9x. Most home users probably didn't even know that Win2k existed.
So the group that actually does the fabrication and fills in all of the details you left out can just apply for their own patent and site you as prior art.
True, but if whoever does the fabrication has to fill in that many details, your patent wasn't really complete in the first place.

Republicans and conservative philosophy
You seem to be making the assumption that those two philosophies are necessarily the same.

Then why do these idiots keep re-electing people like Feinstein? She's done nothing but raise taxes, vote away our rights, and spend money.
Because her opponent in every election would do nothing but raise taxes, vote away a different group of your rights, and spend money.

Sure you do. Change ISPs.
You made a funny.
If you can't distinguish KDE from Windows, and vice versa, that's reason enough to avoid both.

As opposed to what ... politicians ?
As opposed to other lawyers.
No, wait...
Obviously for English classes, having access to computers to type papers is handy, but it's hardly necessary.
You've obviously never seen my handwriting.

MS's revenue stream will increasingly become the annual license fee.
You missed the future tense there, didn't you?
Yeah, nobody wants to see Aztec pyramids or Roman ruins or Greek temples or Uluru or Victoria Falls or Stonehenge or the Rose Window at Chartres, etc.
I thought that's what Las Vegas was for?
Pretty much, but I think you reversed Starter and Home Basic.
