Or February 8, 2011?

Mine is about that, maybe a bit more. I have the best residential internet plan in the city.

I have one of the first Intel iMacs and the hard drive is not easy to replace at all.

An open source compiler, too. Right now OS X doesn't ship with a compiler, so while the source of the compiler is available, there is no way to compile it without Xcode installed.

The scope of human sacrifice was largely exaggerated. The book 1491, by Charles C. Mann, puts the amount of people sacrificed per year by the Aztecs at 3000-4000, out of around 30 million people. He compares that to England, which executed 75000 people between 1530 and 1630. England had about 1/10th the population of the Aztecs, and if it had the same, it would have been executing 7500 people each year, around double the Aztecs were.

I actually really liked the GNU hello world, because it shows the structure of programs, without all the actual code, just the stuff it needs to run.

Just to clarify, Snow Leopard is OS 10.6.

Except the problem is the only people whose voices are heard in this are the rich. Telecoms can afford to do this, while the people on the other side of it don't have the time or means to.

Well, in theory, delicious would come with its own team of people who are interested in it, just like YouTube would have.

What happens if someone else signs someone up for commercial email? Who gets in trouble? Based on this, it seems like the company would.

Civil disobedience is breaking laws, or government directives, that you don't think are just. It is definitely breaking the law, but many people and thinkers see it as a valid form of resistance to unjust laws and governments.

I'm not sure how well it applies to this case, but civil disobedience in general is more than just "boys being boys".

And then under his administration there was the trial of Omar Khadr. Khadr is a Canadian who was 15 when he was captured in Afghanistan and brought to Guantanamo Bay, tortured and held until this year, when he was sentenced to 40 years in prison, because he apparently killed an American soldier, and because he confessed, even though the confession had been taken under the torture. They convicted a soldier for killing another soldier on the field of combat. And he was a child.

These are not progressive measures.

I found this book at my university's library, and ended up spending most of the day reading it there. I liked it, and didn't know it was online, too.

Windows and Linux don't ship with Java because they depend on Sun to produce the runtime. Apple produces it for OS X.

I've been spending a lot of time designing buildings in Sauerbraten recently.

The menus have cut, but I have never figured out how to use it.

Where I recently moved to there are a lot of one way streets. I feel stupid looking to see if anyone is turning down the wrong way, but what you described is exactly why I do.

Would you care to post that? I am going to have some problems in my new place.

Elephants are almost extinct because their proportion of mass is almost zero compared to ants!

Vimperator does this, too.

I do. But I never use anything but a pen, anyways, so I don't see why I'd need this.

Emacs can do this!

Personally, when I read, I read for hours. The vast majority of the time I read, it is in my house, where my Kindle always is, so it is always 'with me'.

I am still an active user on reddit. Active in commenting, really. I don't post articles so much. I got tired of the slipping quality of posts and comments on reddit. I wouldn't have I've "migrated" here, but I just come here to indulge in posting of higher quality, in addition to some specific subreddits.

Finally! Maybe this will force ISPs to raise the bandwidth cap.

The Palm Tungstens were great machines when they were new.

Don't forget Bosnia and Darfur.

I've always used Skype for that.

I'm pretty sure bars don't actually mean anything, and that they are just arbitrary.

I took my share of Greyhound trips from Ottawa to Toronto, because it was cheaper than VIA Rail was. The last straw was when the bus that I was to take from Toronto to where I live left two hours early, leaving me stranded in Toronto at 6 AM after taking a 5 hour bus ride from Ottawa. Thank God for GO Transit.

What I really hate about them is that they have a schedule, but not really. They constantly sell more tickets than there are seats on the bus. The good part about this is that since your ticket isn't connected to a bus, you can take one any time on that day. But then of course 200 people try to get on an 80 person bus. It's a terrible mess.

To make matters worse, none of the other bus companies in Southern Ontario actually go to Ottawa, so its Greyhound or nothing.

So now I only take the train. It is always a pleasant trip. Definitely worth the price.
