This must be about the fifth time I've seen this story. I love Linux, but is "Typical office worker tries Linux for a week!" really front page news anymore? I come here for information, insight, and fun, not masturbatory yellow journalism about how great Linux is for the end user. We all know the conclusions already, and this particular article is thin.
Organic vegetables are so called not because they are organic, but because they are "organically" raised, without the use of pesticides. This results in a much lower yield for the same investment of labour.
And this is without supercomputers. Programs are playing at the grandmaster level on 2 and 4-CPU PCs. No need for custom "Deep Blue" hardware. Performance is relative. Deep Blue may have been a supercomputer with 11.38 gigaflops in 1996, but it is easily matched by a Pentium 4.
Why the accusatory last sentence? Open Logic is a company that provides services for open source products, and the impression I get from this tool is that it shows managers how much they already depend on open source.
Here's the impression I get from the headline: Google's violating privacy, Germany threatens to pass a law against it, Google would rather shut down than end their nefarious activities. I read the summary, and I find it's not a privacy law, it's a surveillance law. Google's the good guys here!
Translation: "Not him, but it seems the foreign devils lack a little culture and respect for others. I don't mean to offend anyone. Shoutout to my Uruguayan homies. The South will rise again!"
I may have lost some things in translation due to regional dialects.
"It is noted that such effects have not previously been observed as iPods do seem to be popular with the pacemaker-wearing population." Is this a typo?
Actually, compulsory firearms ownership was widespread when the Constitution was adopted. Would you like to point out where the Constitution says it is beyond the purview of states and local governments to mandate firearms ownership?
The words he used don't matter. If he had called the Rutgers girls "ugly and loose," it would have been just as bad. The thing is that he attacked the looks and morals of innocent women who've done nothing to inject themselves into public discourse.
There is a big difference between not believing in anything and believing in nothing. Not believing in God is easy. You can't prove a negative, so there's no work to do. However, it takes a major leap of faith to say, "I believe there is No God." The Atheist looks upon the gate of Heaven, and denounces it. He cries, "Heaven is for those too scared of nothingness! I will go no further than my mortal flesh will carry. This gate is the sick bed of Heaven! The eternity of pansy lives!" And the masses cry out in unison a reply: "Come away from the light of Heaven's easy life. We need such a valiant, beautiful warrior as yourself here to live and to hack the serpents of evil in two, hell, into two, into threes and fours! Your life will be the very envy of heaven and its slobbery inhabitants. No, Nobly Born. You were meant to stride with us, the living! To course with us and our blood. You are meant to end when your share of that blood turns brown on the rocks of glory! You and I shall drink tonight. We shall drink to life's confines, to life's pearly end, which is the nothingness of death, NOT the perpetual pansyness of Heaven!"
Believing there is No God means the suffering I've seen in my family, and indeed all the suffering in the world, isn't caused by an omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent force that isn't bothered to help or is just testing us, but rather something we all may be able to help others with in the future. No God means the possibility of less suffering in the future. Not believing in God leaves more room to believe in love, family, Jell-O, and all the other things that may make this life the best you will ever have.
I follow Christ, but don't dismiss all Atheism as "the lack of a belief."

Or maybe, "Politics for nerds. Only your vote matters."
I believe you mean "quicklier and efficientlier."
Did anyone else notice the blurred appearance of David's ex-girlfriend? I think "she" may be anonymous!

Actually, neon glows orange.
How can we forget Birdo, the transvestite antagonist of Super Mario Bros. 2?
It's called Wikisource. Mod this article redundant.
Use mailinator.com , 10minutemail.com, guerillamail.com, or something of that nature.

Without a name, this witness is useless.

Can't you use a Greasemonkey script (http://www.greasespot.net/) to change to ?

"Immaculate conception" means being born without Original Sin, not being born by a virgin.
I believe you mean, "Godwin be damned."

Back it up.
