Many bloggers often comment on how cool an advertiser is. This is often a shallow attempt to get people to click on the ads. Nothing new here. And I never hear outrage of bloggers who do what I've mentioned.
I believe archaeologists have found lots of people babies that were buried beneath houses, which could be sync up with the Bible. Egypt was also invaded by foreign warriors who ruled over Egypt for some time with records from that time extremely spotty. Its possible they were in charge when the mass-Exodus happened, thus the lack of records.
The slavery myth also came from the Romans who asked the priests what the Pharaohs of ancient times had been like. The priests didn't like the current rulers (and some of the earlier rulers) so they badmouthed them and claimed they were used slaves to build the pyramids.
I have no idea if there are defensive legal strategies that any students can employ before they get a letter from the RIAA, Not illegally downloading music would probably be a big step for most university students.
Speech isn't free if it must be anonymous. It doesn't mean people shouldn't be able to say stuff anonymously, but they should not delude themselves they have free speech to do it if they must do it anonymously.
Therefore either our government is repressing our free speech, or breaking copyright to download music isn't free speech.
I was expecting her to say this bill is preposterous because there has been no examples of employers having their employees chipped, let alone forced (has any human ever been chipped with an RFID chip?), and so it makes RFID sound bad just by outlawing a practice that doesn't happen. Kind of like a court specifically saying Joe Bob cannot have sex with children. It makes it sound like Joe Bob has tried to have sex with children.
But no, she instead wants employers to be able to do this to their employees. Ridiculous.
Again, copies of what? What does the US produce that the EC copies? Operating Systems. Windows is far superior to Linux (which is why it has a far larger userbase) whereas everyone knows Linux was and is developed by Europeans and communists (and sometimes they're the same thing) and copies much of Microsoft's work (placement of the start button in either KDE or Gnome, can't remember which).
It boils down to Microsoft is a monopoly and illegally abused its monopoly. It now has to operate under different rules. Sure it sucks, but that's what they get for breaking the law. Google is simply trying to force Microsoft to operate under the special rules.
The electronic machines have special LCD screens that can telepathically project the choices into a voter's brain, too. Those touchscreens? High-res active tactile feedback so the blind guy knows exactly which virtual button he's putting his finger on. Call them out one at a time and have five seconds to touch the screen. Then say "next person" and do not count any touched in that time. If the blind person hasn't decided ahead of time that's going to take a lot of time. But it will encourage them to become informed. The machine can then print out the result in braille and the person can hand it in.
If they don't vote they'll go "eh, not my fault. I didn't vote." If they do vote and find out their candidate is a real cocksucker they'll be angry and might even start to educate themselves. Getting people to become informed isn't as important as getting people to no longer be disenfranchised with the election process. Once that happens becoming informed will follow. Unfortunately the two major parties have a strong incentive to keep people disenfranchised.
Well, chances are, if you are wanting Vista, you will be or will need to be, buying a new system to run it, dues to hardware requirements of Vista. Actually considering I bought a new computer a year or two ago, I imagine I could get away with simply upgrading portions of my computer.
Yeah, just imagine if you had all the rest of OSX! I assure you, it is a much nicer experience than Vista. Well I looked into installing it on my computer or seeing which components I'd need to upgrade to make it compatible, but it looks like I have to buy an entirely new machine. Having said that, let's pretend I want to buy a whole brand new machine, what are these features you speak of? Wikipedia has no information on these features except for Automator, which doesn't seem like it would be that much of an improvement over Vista.
Interesting, this is really moving out of my area of knowledge (hence why I mentioned features in my first post;) I also don't understand any hardware terms when it comes to consoles that Sony and Microsoft like to throw around whenever a new one is released). However there is one thing I don't understand...
WPF is capable of producing beautiful, beautiful hardware accelerated programs. So? Why would I want that? I mean, sure its great if I've got the memory and stuff to spare, but otherwise who cares? A document editor is a document editor regardless of how pretty it looks.
However if all these features are going to let you do more on your computer (I think that's what your saying, like I said, this is getting out of my depth) at the same time, why is it that many people are having such difficulty and slow down problems? Now I had to upgrade my hardware when I moved from 98 to XP so I don't have a problem with upgrading my computer for Vista. But by the sounds of it there is a much steeper upgrade (and thus more costly) from XP to Vista. So is it a case of people not upgrading their computer enough to take advantage of these things? Are programs not being written to take advantage of them? If so, all of the great features aren't going to any good, for upgrading NOW. Which is what Microsoft wants us to do.
Come on. Vista is *factually* better than XP. The perception in the slashdot groupthink is different, though. I never said differently, I simply asked for more information on how much better then XP it is. I also dismissed the slashdot groupthink when it came to criticisms of Vista's security, so I don't know why you keep bringing those up.
It is indeed a huge technological overhaul within the innards. Hey, that's cool. I'm sure it will be great for new games and watching movies on it. I don't do the latter and rarely do the former (I prefer consoles myself and am even considering buying an Xbox360).
But why would I rain down on the "Vista = XP + shiny + DRM" parade. Yes, that's clearly what I was doing.

Well they're called African-Americans so they MUST be one single race.

I didn't say it would guarantee they don't get hit, simply that it would help them avoid it.

Obviously I don't because that looks perfectly fine to me.
I now have a desire to see gaming addiction be labelled a disability.
I think she should consider writing about the addiction of playing golf. I tell you, that can be REALLY addictive.
Mars has a stronger gravity then the moon. So there's some difference.
Well we don't actually need to terraform the planet, we can instead live in colonies like people are planning to do on the moon. The Reds are right.
You don't want sexual harrassment? Ok, it is your good right to refuse, it is our good right to choose an employee, accepts it.

I would have, but its Windows so I'd probably catch something.

By his logic electricity isn't important because people still use candles (to see by) and fire (to cook with).
