Mother! So it was all a dream! No dear, this is the dream ...

I have read the pdf. Looks good to me, could find no errors in the math, so make it so. Now back to watching pr0n.

so now governments are contemplating putting a surcharge on atoms, to compensate the entertainment industry ...

no, this is clearly a copyright infringement of data belonging to the army. So send in the RIAA! (I would prefer the Spanish Inquisition but that silly BHO outlawed torture).

would they not better of banning all computers? And while we're at it, all those horrible machines. It was much more fun when you could chop someones arms off and the good sport would say: "it is just a flesh wound"!

hmm, not so happy about your sig. Especially because "The One 'leader'" as you call it made it clear that he can't do anything on his own. But being from Europe I am perhaps a bit oversensitive about people who don't understand a thing about that part of history.

If someone made a case out of it, then probably yes. Tied selling is not allowed in most and probably all EU countries if it restricts competition. The remedy would of course not be that the other radios are installed but that you can choose another without a penalty. Does this count as a car analogy, b.t.w.?

well, after you install IE7 you first get a setup screen asking which search engine you want as default (a list of the better known ones, but with the option "define your own"). They could easily run something like that during Windows installation for browsers. And no, you don't need IE to download another browser. But for the bandwidth impaired they could easily put all the current ones on the DVD (soon out of date however).

I thought Hell ended January 20!

hmm, for the world that would not be such a bad scenario perhaps ...

Humor? Good advice! If you can make it there ...

the guy who will be seen as having the most merit will be the guy who spends the most time at the coffee machine sucking up to the boss. Which will probably be the American (in the sense that it will be easier for them, not that they like to suck more). Problem solved.

the Bundeswehr is the army of postwar Germany. The army during the war was called Wehrmacht. As the Bundeswehr did not take over the traditions of the Wehrmacht, the distinction is quite important.
