A small point on working "paycheck to paycheck" - If you're in this situation, you are living beyond your means. No one likes to admit that they don't spend their money with the greatest efficiency possible, but nearly everyone can save money. If people would save more, they would build more wealth. Instead, they rely on social services to care for them in their old age - funded, of course, by the wages of others.
Why was this modded Troll? The poster is correct. Vista is packed with DRM, far beyond what Apple builds in. OS X doesn't disable or degrade drivers for hardware that can be used to record audio or video when you're watching protected content. Vista does.
How does having one's window broken make one look a fool?
I would sympathize with someone in this situation, up until the moment the victim started advocating censorship. That is the moment this teacher looked like a fool.
There's definitely a diversity of thought in the Church. But that's a huge difference between us and the Fundamentalists, where there is absolutely no diversity of thought.
Natural Family Planning. A pain in the ass but highly effective if practiced with its most aggressive parameters. Birth control is an issue most American Catholics simply go their own way on, though.
If you're working with the correct definition of pride, then yes. If you're asking, is it a sin to not be ashamed of being Catholic, and to cower in the corner and just sit there and take it when people mock and deride you, then no, that isn't a sin.
We don't have a "get out of hell free" card. In fact, we're more likely to believe we are going to hell than any Protestant branch of Christianity. Study the issue of mortal sin and the Sacrament of Reconciliation to understand more.
I think the poster is referring to a bug/quirk that will sometimes render a line of text with a slightly bolder appearance than other lines on the screen. Scrolling or highlighting and unhighlighting will usually make it redraw properly. It is irritating and has been around for awhile, at least since I started using Tiger.
With the unending litany of civil liberties restrictions being placed on sex offenders, I think all adults (especially males) should seriously consider limiting their exposure to minors. Now that they're even starting to lose their right to use the internet, a false accusation can pretty much end your life. Having to spend the night in jail every Halloween for life may be annoying, but imagine also being barred from internet access in the 21st century.
Volunteering, coaching, teaching - these are now high risk professions and activities, and should be looked at with a wary eye if you value your liberty.
Shouldn't we be thanking the MPAA for this? Do we really need one more law that will eventually be used to bite someone in the ass in some unexpected and novel way?
The article reports on only a few words of what he said, yet seems to have been written by someone with access to the full speech. Why report virtually none of it? Could it be that what he said doesn't support the purpose of the article and its headline in any way?
But of course the Right Wing Wackos all think the earth is only 6,000 years old, so they couldn't possibly try to use this story in that manner, right?
The hacks and workarounds required to get an AJAX based application to behave like a native app are getting more and more bloated and expensive to deploy - all to emulate capabilities that brain-dead simple to implement in a desktop environment.
The browser was never meant to do the things it is doing. It had one purpose - follow hyperlinks. Request, response. Now we try to fake asynchronous behavior by putting lots of little tiny browser request/response interactions in the background, or now even worse, long-lived HTTP connections.
If we're really going to be pushing applications off the desktop and onto the web, what is needed is a thin client RMI browser - one that can make simple method calls over a network, truly asynchronously. Otherwise we'll constantly be fighting the performance issues and development costs associated with this current state of affairs.
That's the problem with PCs and their fanboys - you mistake "flash" for "design". Apple's designs are functional - there are no alien head ornaments or strange plastic bubbles attached for "looks". If you honestly can't see that when comparing an Alienware case to the Mac Pro tower case, you're hopeless.
No, we're talking about Redmond.;)
There's always a chance us OS X users will hear about a system-destroying bug prior to Leopard's release, so I don't want to be too smug. But this just seems like business as usual for Windows.
You would never have to make that choice. The point is, the web browser needs *some* sort of OS to run on. And what are the servers that host these web applications running on? An OS, of course.
And we were greeted as liberators. With flowers and everything - you know, that other thing people like you enjoy laughing about - many troops did in fact receive flowers on their entry to Iraq.
Did the article claim there is?
A bit off topic (like the parent), but why are people always so quick to drag that observation out? Of course there's no "right" to privacy. Does that mean a completely transparent society is a *good* thing? It's legal to lie to your mother too - but should you?
"its just wine on iFBSD.. so what?"
Question asked, question answered. Very useful if you have an Intel Mac.

... first I need to buy books that have a special sensor implanted in the spine. Then I need to be sitting in front of a computer to use it. As I click links in the book, my eyes move back and forth from the book to the screen.
Sounds like another worst-of-both-worlds technology to me. Why not just give the kids an eBook and combine all this nonsense into a single, functional unit?

Now, when are we here in the States going to import poutine? Mmm... delicious poutine...

Umm.. The correct capitalization is Blu-balls, ok? Gosh!

As a proud Roman Catholic, I have this advice: If you want your kids to learn the theory of evolution, send them to a Catholic school.

3 out of 5 bosses DON'T lie! That should melt a few ice cold cynical hearts out there.

Troll? I'm no troll - I'm paying everyone a compliment. Think about it - which would you rather be, thin or smart?
... given that most Slashdotters are tremendous lardasses?
