Aside from the one incident of apostrophe abuse in item 9, I think it was perfect. It established that Mr. Fox is knowledgable and experienced, and then laid out exactly why "sufficient accuracy" and "a high-degree of certainty" could not apply.
Attempting to buy Circuit City, by selling more of their own stock (dilution) and borrowing a shit-ton of money. Doesn't sound like the type of company that's doing really well . . .
Big Lots, or whatever equivalent you have nearby. I got an HDMI cable there for $12, thinking that it would get me by until I could order one online. But, at least in this case, I don't see a need to replace it. It works, the picture on my TV looks pretty, and I "saved" at least thirty bucks. They had a handful of all kinds of other cables and connectors, so I figure it's always worth checking out.

When did we start calling any random web site an ISP? (N.B. that's one of the suckier wikipedia articles, but it serves the purpose)
One of the judges quoted in TFA does use the term "Internet service provider" but then goes on to refer to "interactive service providers", so I don't really think she was using ISP like the average/.-er would.
I bet thousands of people reading from work (like, oh, say, me) are stuck using IE6. And it seems the bigger the corporation, the tighter they lock things down. Slashdot looks fine from home where I can use any browser I want to, but I don't really have a choice when I'm in the cube farm. So yeah, sucks to me be.
And that's exactly the way it's worked in every locality I've ever voted in, provide full name and address, workers cross name off list, get ballot. I'm not buying the GP's story.
Seriously? Somebody modified a program so that a system designed to do one thing could do something else and sent the modifications millions of miles across space on a radio link. There's probably not much chance of a three tier development/test/production environment here.
In the meantime, the overall Cassini project has already been incredibly successful; the happy little Mars rovers have gotten unstuck by virtue of some pretty good software hacks, but you, "Phat Tony", call into question NASA's procedures.
Not anywhere I've lived in the US they can't. AFAIK, there's no requirement to have the registration card in plain sight; mine stays in the "glove" box.
Damn. Overall I've been pleased with their phone and DSL package. Customer service isn't always great, but that's almost a given.
If I were the type to have ever used WinMX extensively, I might have been impressed at the up/down speeds I'd gotten and the fact that it could be left running for days at a time. IF I were that type. Which I'm not saying I am, given that they might be watching.

That's "Country". And what do you mean, where is he? He's what we like to call "the submitter".
Hmmmmm, what am I going to do with this file therapist.avi?

I guess American Airlines is safe then.
Oh yay, domainism. New York Country Lawyer's "People vs The Recording Industry" blog has always been there. Suddenly today he's not reputable?
Point, head, you, whoosh, etc... The subway cars clad in stainless steel are called the DeLoreans of the deep.

Having worked at Capital One, I can assure you that there is absolutely no shortage of idiots running around.
OK, how about "pedantry wants to be annoying"?
And wtf is "lagle"?

"notes in the margin"? That must be for all the OO.o users named Fermat.
As a form of celebration, I suggest walking around in a circle.

Only if it's pitch dark.
Or for us older folk:
You are in a maze of twisty little web pages, all alike.
I think we can fill in step 3 . . .
1. Set up vaguely geek-related article on multiple pages,
2. Make sure each page is full of pay-per-impression ads,
3. Post to Slashdot,
4. PROFIT!!!
Or you could use the Preview button.

Your sense of humor called; it says it's having a wonderful time on holiday and is thinking of just never coming back.

A new life awaits you in the off-shore colonies. A chance to begin again in a golden land of opportunity and adventure!
Yeah, it takes a guy whose name ends in BS to understand marketing.
