God, I despise mnemonic devices. As often as not, I remember the mnemonic, but not the underlying data--and what's the use of that?

Learning a language is a matter of repetition. If you can, get...

As this has been marked "solved," I am closing this thread.

BeOS--and now Haiku--was always the OS of the future. And always will be.

I was an Associate Editor at my law review, so I got to know the Bluebook far better than I think anyone ought to.

One of these days, I'll break down and hack up a Biblatex extension to deal with...

After a character in the medieval novel, "Speculum Stultorum:" Brunellus, a donkey that manages to go to University.

I went to a medieval university myself, and thought it apt.

It's not a problem unless you need to generate ToA's. I only really encountered it preparing things for moot court at law school--the rules required tables of authorities. Back at my old job, we...

Fela Kuti, "Zombie"

Interesting link.

There is one particular problem I have encountered as a law student, though: OpenOffice doesn't generate tables of authorities very nicely.

For those of you who don't...

OP was looking for lighting schematics. Talk about head injuries is off-topic--leave this sort of comment for rec.bicycles.* on USENET.

Back on-topic: A bit of elementary search-engine work...

That would depend on the terms of service. Again, if you're looking for legal advice, the Internet is a bad place for it.

Rule of thumb: these forums are not 4chan, so keep your memes clean.

That said:

My nomination for meme of the year goes to Auto-Tune the News, for their AWESOME remix of a local TV news story:...

Note that doing anything without the author's consent would likely be a copyright violation, unless the content had been released on a more permissive license. If you have serious copyright...

I am inclined to move this to "recurring discussions."

Back in 2006, I wrote a blog post about how the IBM/Intel/Microsoft alliance conquered the desktop:

That's a proper legal question, and deserves a proper legal answer. I recommend you call a lawyer, who can give you real advice. Asking Internet forums for legal advice is a bad idea.

Sudo.

No, seriously. I had never really been much of a martial artist. I've dabbled in a bit of fencing--nothing serious, mind you, but it's sometimes fun to take a foil out and banter a bit...

I wonder how this type of ultra-high-density "seating" would work in an emergency evacuation context. I also wonder about how long it would take a small regional jet packed with people like this to...

This is really a support thread. I am moving it to an appropriate sub-forum.

Small, cheap, good. Pick two.

I would agree with this, but I would put Bang & Olufsen in a slightly different category than Bose.

I have always admired B&O gear's striking (and often, to me, very beautiful) design, but I...

This is the second iteration of "La Femme Nikita" on American TV. The first one stared Peta Wilson back in the '90s.

Spelling and grammar matter. As to me, I take care to use proper spelling and grammar at all times. I am, however, willing to forgive minor mistakes in others, so long as the meaning is clear.

There is already an active (and monthly) desktop-showoff thread:

This thread is redundant, and is therefore CLOSED.

I object to the use of "evil."

Neither corporation has any obligation, legally or otherwise, to anyone but their own share-holders. They can and will do everything they can (within the law) to...

I have also, evidently, lost this particular battle, but I also loathe people who post inline images or animated emoticons. But then, that's me being a bit of a grumpy old Internet codger.

Who do you intend to teach? If you're teaching rank beginners, I daresay this is too ambitious.

I agree that there may be too much time in "search engine use." I would have devoted that much...
