Donkey tarps?

You should not have asked that question...you may have just stumbled upon the real purpose for the OLPC project.

Yeah, I usually try not to name my home porn "My xxx" though.

These people should hire some open source developers to name their products.

How would GNU/My Reading Light be any better?

The EU has done no such thing. Yes, it banned the sale of classic lightbulbs

Do you even know what an incandescent bulb is??

But what you replace them with is your own choice

How can it be "your own choice" if you no longer have the option of the "classic lightbulbs"?

"For example, Appleâ(TM)s lossless .M4A or .H263 MPEG-4 content would be shown in a library even though Media Player could not play them."

Why would they tell you "You can't play this on Windows 7" when they obviously recognize the issue why wouldn't they just add the support to playback these files?

I am assuming they used Excel for calculating the payroll?

I didn't even know that Apple made the battery "non-removable" by ordinary users. Why would they even think to do that?

Yet another reason I don't 'use Apple products.

So that Obama can completely eliminate any input from the minority party from any bill that reached his desk? At least now they have to compromise to get something passed. What would stop the D's from putting in everything that the R's wanted just to get something passed quickly, only to have Obama tkae the R's items out line by line? Line item should not be the solution.

The best bet is a one item, one bill approach. This way each item would be voted up or down and you could CLEARLY see who was opposed to what and who was for what items. This way politicians can't hide behind "I voted for the bill to ban money to stem cell research because it had a rider on it that increased military wages by 2% and I couldn't vote against that." It would eliminate hiding behind one thing to vote for another. And it would give the constituents a clear view of what their Senators and Representatives stood for. But you know that is exactly what our Representatives and Senators would fear most...a clear view of what they really are.

there is less time for good journalism and instead we have good-enough journalism but they still maintain a front of source authority.

Lately what is deemed "good journalism" seems more like an affront to source authority.

So is the socket physically different or is it just the chipset that operates with the chip? It seems to me to be the latter. The AM3 chip can't have pins that the AM2+ has or it wouldn't fit in the socket. Or does the AM3 have fewer pins?

Just sounds like a chipset upgrade to me.

Are all errors guaranteed to be in the least significant bit? What happens if it is in the most significant bit? What happens when you are doing AND/OR operations? I don't think any errors on such things would be necessarily good. "Gee, I can never seem to know what whether or not that option will be turned on in the program since the processor has intentional random errors."

What am I missing here?

Damn. I am glad I do not live in your country. And apparently you are glad you do not live in mine. If you think that Obama is NOT left wing enough, then I am glad you don't live in mine either.

You are assuming that all these weapons engineers would suddenly become great car engineers, or great something else engineers. Sure a few would, but, that is like saying that all server admins or networking guys would make great desktop admins.

And because we signed a testing ban a while back and due to a software bug in the programming our simulations were incorrect. China is able to fire theirs back, we lose.

Do you really think that should there be a next "world war" that China, or whomever our opponent is, is going to be so kind as to allow us that HUGE military advantage simply because they signed some silly piece of paper at some point? Don't be so naive.

You know, I really don't understand the whole concept of weakening the United States military simply to "make freinds." It is not going to work.

The ONLY reason that other countries want US to sign this thing is because they know that we ARE the leader in space and they would like a more fair playing field if anything happens. Well guess what! War is NOT fair. Get over it.
