So a library containing one book has just as much information as a library containing all books except for that one book? That doesn't seem right.

I think many of the naming conventions commonly used in OOP for mutable objects are not as appropriate for their immutable counterparts.
I think for larger meetings this "level playing field" solution would probably work much better for video conferencing or combined text/audio conversations such as on Skype. This way simple cues such as "I've got something to say when you are finished" can be used without interrupting.
I tried to do something similar in high school with some friends. We tried to make a lego robot that would draw like a hand does (not like a line printer). The difference in velocity between a drawing and raised marker created too much error for our robot, but we probably could have fixed this if we had spent more time tweaking variables.

Depending on the university and the professor, this can mean different things. If the class is curved, one third of the class will probably receive A-/A/A+ range grades. If the class is not curved, anywhere from 85% to 95% may be considered an A depending on the professor, class, and university. Most commonly a 90% range is considered A- and up and 80% range is B- and up (assuming no curve).
The overall GPAs themselves are usually calculated by taking specific units of each class into account to give some classes more weight than others. For a 4.0, all grades must have been A anyways so this detail is insignificant.
3.7 and 3.5 are often considered very good GPAs in university. Receiving an overall 4.0 GPA is fairly rare at many schools as an receiving even one A- or below would ensure less than 4.0.
I believe Alan Kay mentioned during a recent talk that he thought a WYSIWYG interface would have been a much more suitable design for the web. I think HTML is ill-suited for many online documents, but I wonder if a WYSIWYG would have actually worked any better.
How often is @font-face really used? Doesn't @font-face usage usually cause an incorrect default font to be used before the actual font is fully loaded?
2. I'm not entirely sure what you are asking.
3. When on my laptop I use Pidgin to sign into all my IM services including Google Talk and Facebook. I use aliases and groups because most of my contacts are on multiple networks.
4. A desktop computer hooked up to a TV and speakers acts as my media and server machine. I use MPD to play music remotely.
5. I use Dropbox for backup of most documents and an external hard drive for everything else.
6. I mostly prefer local services but I do occasionally connect to Dropbox to grab documents when away from one of my machines. I also forward SSH connections to my desktop through my router in case I need to transfer something else.
