Well, no, actually, saying "gave birth" does, in fact, imply that they got some of the original generic seed from another source.
It was a short but hot love between him, Konqui, and her, the bitten fruit from Cupertino.
But after she was pregnant, she left the guy, giving their kid a new name, so noone could see anymore, who had planted the seed in her.
But later the man saw, that his child was growing so well - so he tried to forget, that she left him all alone in the cold, and decided to adopt his own child again.
With the functions in the ribbon, you are changing the *content* of your document, slideshow or spreadsheet or you are changing the format of it.
Everything in the Office-Menue is about dealing with your files (opening, saving, printing - yes you can argue, if it is file-related - signing etc.). Sure, you can argue about the name and the icon of the Office-Menue but it is a "kind of good" analogy to the Windows-Start-Button.
Aren't most of the other things work well on the internet? (more or less)
How many people here on slashdot live from something like the internet? (I know, I do.) Isn't there a lot of (good) business going on? Isn't there a lot of culture going on? Isn't there a lot of good (and bad) communication going on?
How many real world mailboxes are overflowing with advertisment stuff (speak spam)? Douglas Adams made jokes about that twenty years ago in the Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. It is just cheaper over wired networks.
Spam is annoying like the flu. I comes again and again in various flavors, but almost anyone dies from it anymore. And we live well and prosper with it.
Laws should be about boundaries for behaviour, not about absolute control. Everyone has to decide for himself what to do - and has to bear the consequences for one's actions.
If there is a speed limit for example, then I have to decide for myself to go with it or not. But if I drive too fast and an accident happens, I am responsible.
Law enforcement shouldn't be absolute. If everything is controlled, it will it will only lead people to simply calculate the risk instead of thinking about "right and wrong" and feeling responsible:
It's one of the problems with "corporate responsibility": Often it's not about being responsible (in the sense of right and wrong), but to calculate the (financial) risk. So it's often better to do something "wrong" and pay a fine, than to the "right thing" in the first place.
Don't control people! - Teach them what's "right and wrong" and give them the ability to be responsible by themselves.
Wouldn't it be fairer to compare openSUSE 8, Ubuntu 8, PCLinuxOS 8, Mandriva Linux 8, Fedora 8, SimplyMEPIS 8, CentOS 8, Mac OS 8 and Windows 8? *cough*
And by the way... Leopard warns you, if you open an.app, that you downloaded from the intertubes. (haven't tested on other types like shell-script with the executable flag set)
If, like the summary (but not the article for some reason) states, total data is growing by a factor of 10 every 5 years, then somewhere around the year 2300 we'll have 10^80 bits stored. The number of elementary particles in the known universe is estimated to be between 10^79 and 10^81. Seems we're kind of screwed at that point.
And then: Wait for the absolute information meltdown!
It is in one of Stanislaw Lem's stories, where a scientist collects as much information as he can on a supercomputer, until the computer is a few microgram heavier: The Information changed into mass and destroyed itself. The human race collected information only to "inform themselves back stone age".
Unfortunately I can't remember the name of the story, probably it's one of the Star Diaries but I am not sure...

You could do this with the iphone now... But with a second camera on the front, I get finally a mirror to fix my makeup!
No, it's the promised low flying car.
What does this have to do with cows?

This sounds awfully like:

too much catch 22?

But I am using Camino right now and I don't know, if they do browser-sniffing.
Yes, but it changes, if you think about money (GDP per Capita).
There is probably much more money to earn with the german speaking population, than with the spanish speaking population.
Though, it might change in the next few decades.
Well, that's difficult in chinese, because it would be a very very loooooooong sentence.
Most of this is chinese

Yes, it would.

And I think, it is time that slashdot will finally be digged!

*ah* thanks! That's right!

But you can with objects... ;-)
<?php
function foo(){
return (object) array(
a => 1,
b => 2,
);
}
echo foo()->a;
echo foo()->b;
?>
gives you:
