I was only kidding, and I thought that I'd be modded troll, not funny. The only time I ever tried installing silverlight was several months ago when I visited the US Library of Congress site on a/. tip. This is what became of that: http://dotancohen.com/eng/library_of_congress.html
Though to be brutally honest: just bring back text based websites capable of working in lynx and I'll be happy - sod all the fancy stuff. I use the web to get information not to be blinded by how good (or crap) some designer is - show me the information I want and I'm happy It has been said that there is not a website simple enough to navigate or read that a talented graphic designer could not turn into an unaccessible, bloated pig. Have you been to dilbert.com lately?
It's a bit of a no-brainer - MS still has to pay for development somehow. They have existing flash code and developers, why would they re-write and re-train? That, and the fact that Silverlight won't run on their developers' Ubuntu boxen. The top of the pyramid may be crap, but the bottom is still pretty sharp from what I understand.
can any of you actually imagine being a 'range safety officer'? Full govt pay, bennies, retirement, and all you have to do is sit by a switch panel during launches. Other than that it would be lots of paper reading and maybe some busy work to make it look like you are earning your pay.
It's the job I want. You forgot about posting to/..
Some people get them for every post. It's called -1 [troll||redundant||offtopic||overrated]. The people with them are called mods. Watch what they do to both our poor posts now.
I looked at TFA, and I gotta tell you, it's an exciting picture of the switch. Actually, it looks like FOUR switches and FOUR buttons. Well worth going to the site to see it. That sounds like a logitech mouse.
The "Test" button probably checks the detonation circuits, WITHOUT igniting the actual charges. And the "Safe" button is probably for permanently disarming the charges once the shuttle's in orbit. The charges are on the SRBs, not the shuttle.
Really? I'd heard it was more like 50%. Of all the people ever born, half of them are alive right now. Yes, but that 50% is also infected with 'life' and life ends. I think that I have it too, though, there are those who would disagree with me.

As a Christian, I believe that God created man and woman in His image, "male and female".
Therefore, perverting the sexual relationship (which was designed as an attribute of marriage) is disrespectful to God, because it distorts our view of Him ("God is Love"--sex is one of many, but it is one of the more powerful stamps of His character on us), and it is disrespectful to both men and women, because it distorts both of the roles that they were designed to play in marriage (and in sex, as an extension).
Homosexuality is a perversion and a distortion of what God says about His own character.
I have nothing personally against homosexuals, it's just that they insult my God in their ignorance, and that makes me sad.
Homosexuality isn't the only perversion of sex: fornication, adultery, rape, incest, voyeurism (i.e., porn) are all in the same category.
Christians who have a "special" problem with homosexuals that they don't have with fornicators and adulterers are being hypocrites. They distort God's character that they're supposed to be emulating. That makes me sad too. You must be new here.
IIRC, somewhere in the neighborhood of 200,000 people are born and 100,000 die every day. The Burma disaster and/or the Iraq war would throw off the count by only a few hours. So, then why is the whole world breaking down Myanmar's borders to save the people there? You know, despite the best efforts of the UN and WHO and whoever else, the world death rate is still a steady 100%.
Jules: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa... stop right there. Javascript and Java ain't even the same fsckin' thing. Vincent: It's not. It's the same ballpark. Jules: Ain't no fsckin' ballpark neither. Now look, maybe your method of programming differs from mine, but, you know, writing a web page, and coding for the JVM, ain't the same fsckin' ballpark, it ain't the same league, it ain't even the same fsckin' sport. Look, Javascript don't mean shit. I _have_ seen someone thrown out the window for coding in Java.
Especially when a new version of the OS comes out every 6 months. When things get totally borked, I bittorrent the latest OS version and reinstall. Takes 20 minutes if/home is a seperate partition. I have a text file with everything I've ever apt-gotton (hehe), so I can run that as soon as I've reinstalled and poof! my new OS is configured with all my apps, and all my settings.
I don't know what the situation in your country is, but in Israel one must display basic mechanical knowledge to get a driver license. How to change a tire, what the radiator does, that kind of stuff. So, yes, I expect someone who is operating a complex piece of equipment (car, computer, nuclear submarine) to have a basic understanding of how it works.
You haven't typed about:config in the new Firefox betas, have you? You get a warning message, and have to click a button labeled "I'll be careful, I promise". Fucking annoying as hell, and makes me feel like I'm using a baby's toy.

So far as I understand the Linux silverlight implementation has yet to be deployed. It's coming, like Vista was coming in 2004.
