Bullshit. If the GOP was calling for it, why, during the whole six years they controlled the government, did they do nothing to raise the minimum wage?
That reminds me of a cow-orker of mine whom I label a "knee-jerk Republican" 'cos he automatically supports the GOP without necessarily thinking about it. He's a fundamentalist Huckabee supporter, too.
The Decider is not "conservative", except in the social/religious fascism/authoritarian sense. He's probably the most financially wasteful president we've ever had the misfortune to have.
Did you learn the word "socialist" from watching Hannity and O'Reilly? Hint: Europeans see the Democratic Party as being mid-far right, and they've got *nothing* like the Republicans. It'd do you some good to visit other countries.
That ignores all the second-tier schools that only offer bachelor's and master's degrees. I hold a BSc in CS from such an institution, and not including these schools is pretty poor statistics.
You said it, brother. I don't know what in the holy fuck Dem voters were thinking in 2004, choosing bland chameleon Kerry in the primaries over someone with actual ideas and drive like Dean. I've suspected that Republican voters had a hand (like they did in Texas and Ohio), voting for the least-electable.
Gods help us if we get in another lesser-of-the-two-evils campaign, i.e. McCain vs. Clinton. I don't know which of the two I could in good conscience vote for.
Thing about McCain is that Bush is going to endorse him. Now I know we can't expect the Decider to actually *learn* from his mistakes, but the 2006 race shows that his endorsement is the kiss of death.
I could not in good conscience vote for or support anyone that Bush considers good, and McCain has been flip-flopping on condemning the intolerant fundamentalists, which shows me his character, while it must be better than Bush's, is probably little better than Clinton's.
You're using the conservative-talking-head definition of "liberal", son.
IMO it's because libertarians are in general socially liberal, and so is the average Democrat voter, while your average Republican is socially conservative/authoritarian. Libertarians know that neither large party is going to curtail spending, so it's a case of holding one's nose and going with... yes... the lesser of two evils.
And the 60/66 MHz Pentiums were 5-volt parts, on Socket 4. They were notorious for running hot, so the 75/90/100 MHz Pentiums were released several months later at 3.3v, on Socket 5 and later Socket 7.
It's a natural consequence of object-oriented design.
I don't know if you've ever programmed an OO language, but the idea is that the program will have these things called classes, which are wads of code with associated functions and data (an object does certain things, and has certain attributes). Contrast to a C struct, which is just a wad of data.
Some of the functions and data will be public (though it's better practice for all the data to be private) and thus accessible by functions outside the class. Other bits will be private, and accessible only within the class. The reason is that it restricts the ways in which things can go wrong, e.g. a certain variable can only be modified by calling the class's changeVar() function, which has validation and error-handling built in, rather than letting any function put any old data in. Only exposing certain functions means that everything else in the class is an implementation detail, and programs using the class only need to maintain compatibility with a limited number of APIs (data X goes in, data Y comes out).
What'd be the benefit of the NT kernel instead of Linux or *BSD? Surely the kernel doesn't directly host Win32 or.NET APIs, since so much of them has to do with the GUI.

Let me put on my "shocked" face. :-/
Who didn't see this one coming? I mean, besides the people who think Bush can do no wrong (except on immigration, of course).

You laugh, but someone has a product called CobolScript.

Objection. Pre-supposes that knee-jerk Republicans can read.

Didn't have the grades or SAT scores to get into college, eh Mr. Sour Grapes?
My uni had a few wingnuts in its faculty, TYVM.

Gods know with all the misleading or wrong summaries and headlines here, people shouldn't believe a word until they RTFA.
Yeah, I know, but I've been here longer than most of you.

Too godsdamn many. When the revolution comes, we're going to need a longer wall.
For small values of "compliant". I'll lay odds that it will still be less compliant than Gecko, KHTML, or Opera.
And we'll still have retarded webmonkeys designing for IE instead of standards, especially if MS gets it really wrong again.

You know you want to.
Yes.
No, it's actually 'fluffer'.

So Hyatt's explanation sounds quite reasonable.
In what ways is the NT kernel better?
I've noticed IE7 being faster as well. But I still won't switch from Firefox. :-)
Maybe it's because of the interpreted GUI versus IE's native one.
Data: "Perhaps the joke was not funny."
And it looked like GP was serious, FWIW.
