I believe "intentionally crippled" is a valid euphemism for "broken". I still interoperate with a number of Windows machines, it's a giant gaping flaw to me that caused me to roll back from 10.7.

In 10.3/10.4 and later, it connected and worked fine.

Does it fix SAMBA, which was (and still is) horribly broken in 10.7?

This has had an interesting side effect of making the older Mercedes and VW diesels much more desirable than they had been for quite a few years. Myself, I'm in the market for an MB 300TD for this exact reason... that engine, the 5cyl OM617 is legendarily durable and tolerant of funky mixtures of bio/petroleum-based fuel.

Maple sugaring in Vermont is by no means a recent development. It's been going on since at least the 1700s, and possible a fair bit longer than that. I personally have been in a sugarhouse that's older than your country, and I assure you, they make better syrup than you guys do (I've had plenty of both).

Does this seem lower than expected to anyone else, or is that just my own experience?

I average about 2TB/mo with them. Please don't give them any ideas.

Is this really what it's come to? Are the Democrats really giving up on Obama being able to actually win the favor of the American people enough to win a second term on his own merits? Is fighting fire with mud really the plan?

People wonder why I've given up on politics. This kind of rubbish (which extends to all the local political business as well, lest someone say that this is only a problem on the national scale) is why I no longer look on politics as viable. It's a complete fucking circus, and I treat it as such... I sit back, and watch the car wrecks happen.

I'm stunned at how much worse it's gotten in the last 20 years or so. Just when you think we've reached the nadir of respectability for our political system, something like this comes along. Seriously, how long until the DNC and RNC just offer openly to buy votes? Another three elections?

I wouldn't be able to take notes with a pencil and paper anywhere near fast enough, my shorthand is crap. This would effectively ban all taking of notes in class for me.

I am amazed that here, of all places, the holodeck is (so far) a distant fourth. Methinks you doth protest a bit too much, folks.
