This sounds eerily similar to a line from "Who Killed the Electric Car." It was spoken by a Ford executive and was along the lines of " ... and we found that we were making the cars that people want." In other words we don't need to do anything different. That was before foreign car manufacturers started eating Ford's lunch because they were actually making the cars that people wanted.

To draw out the car analogy to something that makes me sick to the pit of my stomach, imagine, if you will, that your town had to choose a car manufacturer. Once the choice was made, you had the choice to buy that manufacturer's car - or not. No other choice. What would happen to quality vs. price?

Fortunately for us there is choice and auto manufacturers have to meet market demands or face loss of market share or government bailout. Unfortunately for us, we do not have much choice when it comes to cable service.

That looked like one long river of lava!

It would of had it been funnier.

Budgets for the last two years are 5.5 billion and for 2013, 5.1 billion. I presume this is before sequestration.

Where's the spending increase?

Where's the bullshit?

Remember, the Puritans came to what would become the USA in order to practice their religious beliefs.

Just by voicing my words with a British accent!

The true meaning of AI. ;)

Here's the vote recorded at http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d103:HR03355:@@@R
8/21/1994 Conference report agreed to in House: On agreeing to the conference report Agreed to by recorded vote: 235 - 195 (Roll no. 416).
8/25/1994 Conference report agreed to in Senate: Senate agreed to conference report by Yea-Nay Vote. 61-38. Record Vote No: 295.

Hardly unanimous. I didn't bother to read the rest of your comment since it seemed to start with bad information.

That's a little problematic on Windows, no? You have to open each app ever installed and figure out how to check for updates. Definitely a non-trivial issue. (One of the benefits of Linux package management is there is a single spot to update all S/W installed within the package management framework.)

Does this solve the problem for all installed software on Windows?

I have a copy of tonight's Colbert Report on my DVR with an obnoxiously loud Belvidere Vodka commercial. Who do I submit it to?

I watched the Blu-Ray version of "Snow White and the Huntsman" a couple days ago. I don't usually watch the extra content on the disk but I did try to look at some of it on this disk. I found instead of extra content a message that told me to buy the retail version of the title if I wanted to view any of the extras.

I'm left wondering if that is a result of a cut rate deal between Netflix and the studio or if it is part of a licensing issue. I should probaby report the disk as defective because the extra content was missing just to see how Netflix would respond.

One risk for riders is to follow someone more skillful than themselves. That can result in getting in over their head and resulting in a crash. I suppose that's the risk the GP alludes to.

OTOH, the app could simply satisfy someone's curiosity about their riding. I suspect I would discover that I don't lean near as far as I think I do. ;)

I walked in about 1/2 hour after the polls opened, signed my name and got a paper ballot. I filled it in after agonizing over a couple referenda, had it scanned and was on my way in no more than ten minutes.

Bonus: Someone brought in a bowl of candy, no doubt left over from Halloween.

Once I got home I posed the question on my buddies Facebook wall "Do you know how easy it is for someone who ever lived in Indiana to return and vote?" (He favors the other presidential candidate. :D )

... and all your wildest dreams will come true.

I once walked down from about the half way point and my legs were sore for three days. Making it to the top is an accomplishment that no one can ever take away.

For those who know more about this than me, why choose OpenOffice over LibreOffice (or vice versa.)

I used OO until my distro (Debian/Ubuntu/Mint recently) switched to LO and I just went with it. I'm not familiar in detail with the reason for the fork and whether the issues persist. Nor am I aware of the status of each fork and what is the benefit of one over the other.

Thanks for any clarification.
