But "exists as an open-source hobby project" is a bit bringing back your dead lover as a zombie. Yeah, it's still around, but it's not really the same. Unless you're really, really kinky.
Depending on the ex-lover, there are some that might argue that bringing them back as a zombie is not only "the same", its better than it ever was
*Sigh*, its a telescope. Just move the tripod to somewhere safe. Jeez

Ok, I looked at the patent on this before posting this because I initially thought, was "BULLSHIT, you can't patent a fucking staircase. There has to be something being left out."
But, I was wrong wrong wrong.
About the only descriptive text in the patent.
"We claim the ornamental design for a staircase, substantially as shown and described."
I know he has made some cool tech contributions, but this is absurd!!!
Yes, I can...IF...
Its gonna be cost analysis decision just like anything else. I, and I would expect most other people, am not going to go out of my way to use it.
So, my airport is 10 mins away. If I have to go an hour to get to the train, and I still will have to go through all the same hassles (security, ticket counter, etc) I am not going to do it.
Other factors come in obviously, if it crazy cheap, but its all just is this advantageous or do I literally and metaphorically want to "ride the train" because its the new cool thing to do.
BTW- Love that my captcha for this is ELECTIVE, seems quite fitting
"affecting the outcome of elections at the local, state, and federal levels. "
Source please? Not saying your wrong, I just missed that detail when I RTFA.
Yeah, the buggies the Amish use don't have headlights. The govt makes them put reflectors on their buggies, that the Amish hate.
I can assure you, if this goes into effect (And just to be clear, I hate this idea), you won't get away with "My equipment is not capable of meeting your requirements"
To call the man an idealist is the understatement of two centuries. The suggestion that he was trying to define which liberties one ought to give up in exchange for which sort of security is just laughable.
Take a deep breath and read this, it may seem a little complicated to you at first and make you want to get really mad:
I AGREE with YOU.
But that doesn't mean that I must support your manner of defending removing the extra words. That is all. The original quote is fine the way it is. No need to edit his language for him.
Is it your assertion that capable writers necessarily write as few words as possible? That they never provide justification for their assertions?
Actually, I was making the opposite point, thanks. Capable writers often use more words that others might feel necessary.
Do the people on the street buying Apple really know who Jobs is?
Of course. After a few movies, and doing that NBC show ED, he's been in a junkload of popular commercials with that guy from the Daily Show.
You make a good point for Franklin being a very capable writer.
And you feel the extra words do nothing but reinforce your point.
Therefore, it seems unnecessary for the words he used to be left out...UNLESS you believe they DO have a potential to change the quote.
get the impression I'm either missing an incredibly funny joke, or I hang out online with a bunch of losers.
This IS Slashdot, so...
No and Yes
Anyone can make an omelet with eggs. The trick is to make one with none.
