Sure, but what about the last 35 minutes? The trend could have reversed by now and we wouldn't know it yet.

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.
