Ummm, you don't exactly know what you're talking about. Using this original statement
He thought it was unfair that
#1 he had to pay for children's education
AND
#2 he had to pay for incentives so that children would take advantage of #1
For the entire statement to evaluate to TRUE (that is, it was unfair), both terms must be true. Therefore, you cannot short-circuit the statement unless the first statement is false. So, if we're saying that he doesn't need to pay for children's' education then it can be short circuited. This has nothing to do with the current conversation and wasn't really suggested which means that the only thing that matters is the second term.
I may be pedantic, but I'm also right...
Ummm... Yeah, 'cause I know a lot of boyscouts who can cover 3 million square miles of territory in 9 hours... I'd say the point was to see how people would use technology to build quick awareness of events over a large area. Seeking out insurgents or terrorist cells might be a practical military application of this technology.
Actually, based on profit margin, Wal-mart is not nearly as effective at retailing as many other companies (like Kohls). The difference is, they're a lot bigger. For example, to make $5 profit, Wal-mart needs to sell something like $95, but Kohls, for example only needs to sell something like $50. Wal-mart is in the same boat K-mart was in about 20 years ago and sinking pretty fast. It's just not obvious because they have such a huge share of the market. Discount retail is interesting right now because the biggest companies seem to have forgotten that customers have choices.
That's funny, I was trying to do the same thing, someone already posted one workaround and I wanted to test it and evaluate some alternative. Instead my machine is hung (both IE and FF) waiting for a response.
This was only 5 minutes after the story broke.
So Either:
They have a 386 with 8MB ram running tomcat
OR
They have a cluster of 8 2way core2 duo machines with 16 GB RAM running Websmear.
Either way it looks like they can only support a couple hundred simultaneous requests.
Well, the video service is dead in the water. One wonders if this was a marketing ploy to drive traffic or simple market research. What better way to see how many people give a damn about firefox/Max/Opera than to disable it on a fairly high volume site.
Of course, to cover up their inability to handle the traffic, we'll probably hear a story how their new service was "hacked".
That's the strategy I've adopted and rather like it. Of course it is a bit confusing to blow through 2.5 episodes in an hour and then pick up where you left off the next morning. I had a PVR and that was nice too, but it cost $100 per month. At that rate, I can buy an entire season of programming for 1 show every month and still be ahead.
The other amazing thing I rediscovered is that all the important stuff (basically 5 stations with normal stuff) is broadcast to my house for free. I guess I don't understand why burying a cable costs $100+/month to maintain, yet maintaining a radio transmitter is free. Obviously the cable companies are making money on the "what the market will bear" factor, which is good for them, but I don't have to pay them to get what I want.
While I'm a fan of brainbench, I have to say that getting certified is of dubious value. We've been interviewing for a while and there is almost zero correlation between school, certification, and ability. If anything, there is almost a negative correlation between certification and ability. It's as if people who don't know what they are doing get a certification to offset that minor problem.

And obviously slashdot has readers who don't know about TCP/IP.

You'll note after the Brady act went in, the murder rate went down drastically.

That's right! Shop at Kmart, they aren't evil.
And furthermore, depending on how they detect "non-ie" you could probably greasemonkey https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/748/ it away (maybe), use the ie tab https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1419/ in firefox, or just change the user-agent.
