Actually, I seem to remember my MSX-Basic 1.1 to be limited to 255 characters per line of code.

Ok, what about "digital release makes it extremely easy for the consumer to decide which songs are worth buying"?

I suppose the 30kg Roman welfare might have changed also. But if we take the GP's hypothesis at face value and consider the outcome of the Roman Empire, I wouldn't say they were such a good example :)

I refuse to read an article where the summary leads me to believe that the writer doesn't understand what subsides and import taxes are for, which is, to promote local development in detriment to imports.

Funny that you would think every town works exactly like Minneapolis and that people having different experiences must be liars.

In Montréal, Québec, the monthly transit pass costs $ 75.50. When there's a snow storm, some buses simply disappear. It's not what I'd call a pleasant return home to wait 1h+ under -20oC for a bus that won't come. And there's no service status information for buses. When I depended on that service, I decided to walk 40 min to get to the subway instead of waiting.

On the other hand, it could have taken 40m (1h if we want to be really pessimistic) to drive back home on the same weather conditions instead of 20min under normal conditions.

Sorry, you're wrong. Here's the PROOF.

Because you would ignore a world-wide defamatory campaign claiming that you are a child molester unless it's true?

If that's your notion of judgment, I'll stick to the justice system.

SCIENCE is FAILING us! Oh, wait...

No need to go too far. Just watch how animals can overcome physical challenges without seemly being able to think about it. For example, take two baby cats of opposite sex away from cathood until they are adults and they will still know how to eat, drink, mate, give birth and raise their pups like cats are supposed to.

Most of the programming needed for life to move on is already there, provided that the environment remains fairly stable. Our conscience is needed to allow us to travel from one "closed" system to another, like from Earth to Mars, so we don't go extinct if a huge meteor crashes against us.

Conscience comes at a cost. It raises our flexibility by orders of magnitude, but makes us more dependent on our own achievements.

I find that "science failing us" is not a very realistic affirmation and that the article concentrates on the wrong perspective.

I have serious reservations to link a blog that only seems to cite its own articles, never real sources. Easiest example: for Nokia's Q4 2011 results, there's no link anywhere but to its own take on it. No link to important claims such as the 1.3 million units target.

It's a shame, because I too find it obvious that the decisions during the Elop era go in the opposite direction of what Nokia used to stand for and of profit or even survival.

The summary reads:

While what the article says is:

So what about this summary instead:

So, what are you implying?

That the defendants are innocent? (If not, are these the wrong pictures? Source: the article referenced by the article referenced by this /. article)

That it's possible to establish the line between infringement and non infringement by considering the direction the bus is going and the angle from where the picture was taken?

That the judge was stoned?

Or that all the process is perfectly correct and people should now fear copyright infringement every time they hope to publish a neat picture?
