I'm glad that the courts allowed the defendant to view the source code (or at least get it analyzed). Software is not without its defects. It's my belief that any software that is used by the government to convict any of its citizens should be open for public review.
Now, the fact that he had to persuade the judge to allow the source code to be examined is upsetting but I think overall, its a positive move.
Pregnancy itself has a host of potential complications that range from mildly irritating to quite deadly
--BEGIN SARCASM-- Nature is so dumb! Look, it can hardly do birthing correctly. I think we need to go fix everything so nature doesn't keep screwing everything up. Natural selection be damned! --END SARCASM--
Seriously? do we really want to go down this route? We've already screwed with the planet and life enough. Do we really need to screw with it more and more by allowing human/animal hybrids?
in a 23-11 vote that urges member states to adopt laws outlawing criticism of religions
As a Christian, this is unnerving. Contrary to popular belief, Christianity has a long history of criticizing the religious status quo. It was a major aspect of Jesus' message.
Another dangerous aspect of it is when church and state are combined, criticizing state will be seen as the same as criticizing religion (and vice versa) thus allowing the state to commit more human rights violations.
I've noticed the same trend in big box electronic stores. The Good Guys, Circuit City, Best Buy.. all the same. The opening is neat and fun. They have knowledgeable and friendly staff at the start...
Then after a few years, everyone there things they're experts. They're conceited and stand around talking to other employees and making fun of the customers. I've never understood the arrogance of big box store employees. You work for Best Buy and somehow you're an expert in anything that plugs into a wall??? Gimme a break kid.
You can turn off the eye candy. I just couldn't get used to the switching and transparency stuff either.
From my experience though it ran extremely smooth (especially with the latest ATI drivers). The only problem I had was that Google Earth would flicker like crazy when the eye candy was turned on.
so what benefit do you get with a 3d interface that you constantly need to translate back in to 2 dimensions?
3D first person shooters are immensely popular. The benefit is that the game is more realistic.
A 3D desktop is probably supposed to be more realistic. Realistic of what though? I don't know. Hopefully not my desk at work because then it would just be a mess.
Whether or not a 3D anything will be very useful remains to be seen but mapping it back to a 2D screen doesn't invalidate it completely.

Can't fuck it.
I really hope Rule 34 of the Internet is wrong...
Maybe when Adobe stops blocking the HTML5 spec.

Thanks for that helpful comment Mr. I-speak-for-the-entire-Internet.
Tell me, who do you choose for our next president?
And tell me what I want for lunch today please!
Don't forget about Orkut!
Maybe if you're married & have children you shouldn't be looking at porn, then you wouldn't have that problem...
Wrong. Maybe you just need a wife and children who are into porn as well. Having a healthy sex drive is not a fault.
There, fixed that for you.
Unfortunately Duke Nukem Forever was on this list as well... :(
Hey, come on guys! We can't fault them for this. The project is only in beta!

If Google does no evil and someone kills them, doesn't that then make the killer evil?
I don't know if I like where this is going.

If there are no nukes, then what are we supposed to blow up the life ending meteors with???

Why Do We Name Servers the Way We Do?
Because we're nerds
Could you imagine what would have happened if they would have invoked rule 34 of the internet?
Obama will change that. Mark my words.
The number of spam messages sent over the Internet every day has grown more than 10-fold, topping 164 billion worldwide in August 2008.
Those are great numbers. Imagine how much SPAM would have been sent had the law NOT been passed!

Oh my goodness. I feel bad for the person that had to type all of those in...
I'm certainly interested in how they plan to control that)
