I'm going to be limiting my choice to the Libertarian or Green candidates for President this fall.
And that won't do a bit of good in a two-party system, unfortunately, and in fact it may just get McCain elected. I don't like the way it is, but it is what it is.
Well, yes, but this time it's more of a "must do" situation. If they don't change something they're in for a bit of a rough ride. And for that, I give them the benefit of the doubt.
Yes, congratulations is in order for Microsoft's IE team: they've finally reached nearly the same level as Firefox+NoScript. And they've only been in the game...how much longer? [/msFlame]
But seriously, maybe we should give Microsoft a little credit. As bad as they've been about IE security in the past, they're actually trying this time.
I understand that the real aversion to this plan comes from the "mandatory" part, but why is PayPal a bad thing? Personally, I like having a middleman shield my credit card information from the seller, and I like some of the other protections that using PayPal can afford.
And, frankly, what's so wrong about having a specific method of payment used throughout a website? If eBay had their own internal payment system identical in every way to PayPal, would there be as much fervor?
Or any substantial competition in an area that already has "broadband access", and I don't mean DSL vs Cable. I'd say that's the biggest problem affecting current broadband prices.
Why should you have to pay for incoming texts? No one charges you for letters you receive (well, not unless the person sending it is really cheap). So why should texts be any different (especially since you're already paying the carrier a large sum to remain connected to their network)?
the researchers identified signals that let them know when the students had decided to move 10 seconds or so before the students knew it themselves
All this shows is that the "gut feeling" people get actually occurs in the brain. Who would have guessed? The fact that the researchers were only correct 70% probably just means during the tests, the students went with their "gut feeling" 70% of the time. If the researchers are really using these results to question free will, I question their bias.
Do a clean install instead. You probably have some odd settings remaining from FF2 that are giving you problems, and the problem with other sites could be poor browser detection...which is not Mozilla's fault at all.
No, I meant that the executive branch was currently republican and the legislative currently democrat-dominated (in the sense that there is a slight majority). The Supreme Court I consider to be republican and critically unbalanced simply because of the constant 5-4 splits and the fact that the simple majority always wins, as opposed to executive/legislative interplay.
Just remember who is controlling Congress right now the next time some further criminalization of intellectual property law passes.
By that you mean career politicians, right? To many of them, ideals and standards mean nothing if their careers end because of it. At least the executive and legislative branches are of opposing parties so at least some crazy laws don't go all the way through.
Really, this is nothing more than an indicator that some people going into programming are clearly in the wrong field.
That being said, I don't know anyone personally who is becoming a programmer for any other reason than they really enjoy it. Kind of sucks if you don't.
I believe that patent was once held by Honeywell (please correct me if I'm wrong), so, fortunately, that's one area Mark wouldn't be able to get his hands on. Plus the prior art would be ridiculous.
What would really be newsworthy would be if a judge locked-in settlement costs and set a precedent that they couldn't be changed. Not going to happen any time soon, though.

If everyone did that we might no longer have a two-party system.
But everyone won't.

Crap! Here come the phone calls asking for tech support...I think I'll turn off my phone for a bit...
I just have to ask: when does Eclipse cost $250? I assume that would be some sort of support plan, but I can't find it advertised.

Can anyone please tell me why we need to support IE6?

Why not half man and half bearpig? That's the approval we're looking for!

What version are you using? I'm using it right now on an Ubuntu 8.04 laptop with absolutely no issues.
I believe that patent was once held by Honeywell (please correct me if I'm wrong), so, fortunately, that's one area Mark wouldn't be able to get his hands on. Plus the prior art would be ridiculous.
I know, right? Where else are they going to get all that free Kool-Aid?
Oh yeah, it's a really broken system.
What would really be newsworthy would be if a judge locked-in settlement costs and set a precedent that they couldn't be changed. Not going to happen any time soon, though.
How is this different from any other type of corporate lawsuit? Raising settlement costs if the other party prolongs the case is hardly new.
No. I didn't.
Gnomes. Looking for underpants.
Do they have a computer?
*check*
Do they have access to the Internet?
*check*
There. I've systematically determined that they're sophisticated enough.
No, you really can't. I've never had a problem playing fairly advanced 3D games on an XP computer with 512mb RAM.
