And it wouldn't surprise me if the mongs at pajamasmedia, LGF et al were paid by the gov't, especially in the run-up to the war up until the whole "mission accomplished" fiasco started biting the administration in their ass.
*WHEN* will osdir change their image viewer to something smarter? Loading all images again every time you select a new screenshot is kinda tedious, and probably adds to the strain on their server, what with all the times osdir's screenshot galleries get mentioned on/.
Add a JS image swap script, keep the current linking as it is (to appease the usability poo-flingers), and save bandwidth!
First it's "imminent death of apple predicted". Then a successive variation of that same theme, except with the vendor/company changed. So, this year it's Microsoft's turn?
I love these utterly useless, US-centric "internet polls". They make it sound like the net stops at the borders. Ignorant people will be quoting these numbers for years to come, omitting the crucial "american" part.
why would they publicize this? Wouldn't it be prudent to wait for the 5th January, run the same algorithms and check the URLs, and nab the perpetrator?
I wish people would stop furthering this "looking at the handwriting will tell me more about a person's soul/mind/whatever".

Not quite sure but must've been in the early 90's when the head of the Swiss Psychologist's Association went on to say in an interview that the whole handwriting analysis is a hoax and is mainly used by dumb-ass PHBs to appear smarter than they are.
Please stop furthering this meme. It's a hoax. Kthxbye!
There's a nice lil extension to firefox called "Remove this object" that gets rid of those stupid "floaters" (i call 'em div layers, only cos that's what they are).

The earth goes round the sun, the middle east still has some.. ah... "problems", and Netscape STILL doesn't get it.
There was an ARG posted in this months' Edge magazine... apparently started off with a "This page cannot be found" error message? Anyone know?

"why do users revert back to email as soon as they hit a snag in the system?"
Mmmmh... i love the smell of rhetorical questions in the morning...

But [MySQL is] like recreational riding a thoroughbred horse, a smooth, easy fun ride.

"Despite these issues, and mixed reactions to launch titles, overall consumer reaction seems to be generally positive."
So basically, kinda sucky, but not as sucky as expected?
Yes, Firefox has been known to allow spyware to infect a pc.
So, are you going to provide us with some proof, or are you just gonna sit there with that smug look on your face?
Put in some backdoors, or a phone-home option to some off-premise server and see what happens when the brown stuff hits the whirly thing.
does this mean AsSeenOnTV will start posting glowing reports of OS X's Spotlight "technology" on Slashdot again?
He seemed to go off on a very long vacation, last I heard from him...
