The problem is that they're pushing Silverlight as an alternative to Flash on a much broader scale, something that will likely cause major problems down the road. If it were exclusive to the Microsoft website I'd agree with you.
You go ahead and keep telling yourself that "it's some farmer in the midwest" screwing it all up, though; especially the next time you drive through Florida.
Funny, I live in Florida. In 2004 52% voted for Bush vs. 47% for Kerry, and that was three years ago. Since then Florida's alignment has moved into Blue territory, at least among the people who actually vote.
Also, for future record, Giuliani does not appeal to New Yorkers. He appeals to those who felt they identified the most with Bush last time. New York is a Blue state.
Next time you decide to bastardize something into an argument about people not being farmers (which really wasn't the point of the statement at all), do your research.
Other countries don't have terrorist problems (yet), and so they don't have to perform intrusive procedures.
Under what rock have you been living?
I am not convinced that we are any less safe now then we were a decade or so ago, just much more paranoid. It really says something when a nation of immigrants is deceived into thinking they need to bar foreigners.
And this is exactly what bothers me so much about the U.S. government these days. I'm an American, and even though I don't know you I wish you could visit the country without be treated like a dangerous felon.
We (Americans) are really not all bad. As it turns out most of us dislike the current government, too. It's just that, well, we have a fairly large population of over-religious farmers who tend to vote for all the wrong people. And thus sh*t like this is allowed to happen.
Plus: while it's true that there are less attacks against Macs, that's only because Macs are in the minority and thus attackers don't bother to spend any time learning to hack them. If the military starts using them, it's only a matter of time until attackers hone their Mac skills and then the Army is right back to where it started, possibly even worse off because they evidently wouldn't see it coming.
Let's hope, though, that none of the electronic voting machines were certified. Not that paper voting is any more secure. Last I checked, paper burns rather nicely. Maybe we should chisel votes in stone?
I don't think they would ever do it, but I'd like to see the same article in a Mac mag. I have a feeling they wouldn't be reviewed as equals, personal opinions aside.
Oh yeah, if you turn, your heart will forcibly exit your body via your anus before exploding. Have fun.
If you were to try to turn at those speeds, I think the force on the wings would tear the plane apart. Your heart popping out of your anus would be the least of your worries and may even be a little better than burning alive while falling 100,000 feet.

Was that a joke?
Ah, good old thermodynamic principles...

In response:
1. Funny, I don't remember corporate copyrights being part of international copyright law...
2. Even if successful artists incorporate, they're the creators. So they'd have their own copyrights.
or, in this case, if one were to use any office program, such as OpenOffice, to read the old formats.
It has.....evolved......
Let me call you out for a second: do you have proof of this?
As the game industry becomes increasingly refined, the DoD becomes more incompetant?

Sorry,
I was typing in a bit of a hurry.

Naw, just cut out your eyes and burn the remanants.
Problem solved! (well, except for the whole "I'm blind!" thing...)
Only if the glove compartment is replaced with an open bar.

Although apparently the mathematicians are way behind Ethan Hunt.

It is not advisable to lie during a police investigation, under oath or not. AFAIK giving a false statement is a crime in and of itself.
Roughly, except that a qubit can be 0, 1, or a superposition of both.
Of course I get the joke, but for reference:
Wikipedia: Qubit
...and, coincidently, neither do most of us.
People read Windows mags?
