There were probably a lot of people still buying it at that price, in sort of a captive market. I'm thinking schools, libraries, et cetera that need to service that population. Why torture such a noble product as an encyclopedia by putting

This is something that can be curbed with practice. If you give your presentation to someone, they should point this out. To get better at public speaking, you should try to curb any behavior that detracts from the message that you want to

E-mail isn't perfect, however as a transport system is is not meant to solve the problem you described in "Replace e-mail". If someone wants to have a meeting with me, they might send me an .ics attachment[1] that will work with almost ANY

I imagine that corporate interests (records, movies) in the US and EU could collude to get a pirate site taken down if it had a .org, it would just be another tree to fall. So far the US has not publicly tried to drop wikileaks.org, forcing

If you are a hardcore terminal user, then you will run into layout bugs at this stage. I'm interested enough in why this is the case, what exactly had to be written from scratch. There must be some terminal emulators out there under both GP

I didn't use the hjkl keys until two things happened, about the same time. The first was getting a job as an SA, where on older (and less GNU) operating systems would NOT support the key mappings. The second was once my job was automated, I

Bogdan Raczynski's stuff can be quite nice and varies from acoustic Polish roots on accordion to 8bit beats and well executed video game nostalgia. Lots of stuff on Warp records does nicely, as already mentioned. Autechre, Boards of Canada,

My point was not to attack those people, that word means something different. What if they would refer to a member of the Marines as a jarhead? My point was that The Daily Show may be slightly anti-SOPA by being liberal, but they still have
