It's even better than that! A SNAKE, possessed by the DEVIL, talked a woman into talking a man into eating an apple a few thousand years ago. Hooray for biblical literalism!

I don't know what you're going on about, but I sure could use some gun powder... er, to load my bullets... and stuff.
Bullshit. That doesn't take into effect that since my bosses personal and corporate taxes were both raised under Obama that he can no longer afford to keep me on and now I'm unemployed.
But at least you have a time machine to make up for your troubles!
DreamSpark and MSDNAA are not quite the same thing. DreamSpark is a web based service which allows qualifying college students to download full copies of VS2005, VS2008, SqlServer 2005, Windows Server 2003 and the full suite of their "Interwebz 4 dummiez" (AKA Expression Studio, etc).
MSDNAA is something that colleges sign up for. They pay for site licenses and qualifying students (at my university, only CS majors) can get copies of a huge range of Microsoft software, depending on what the college paid for.
Actually, he said that Vista at launch was no worse than XP at launch, and by implication that Vista NOW is no worse than XP was two years after launch.
it's a great idea but we're too busy pretending that the USA is still a federalist republic in which the states should choose the president through the electoral college rather than by a direct popular vote.
it's all real nice until you realize that federalism died a long time ago and the electoral college just kind stays around due to tradition.
As soon as you start putting digital circuits into everything then you will have to start worrying about everything failing. Between having sensors fail and having the embedded processors fail, you will end up with a whole lot of devices in your home that cost much more and don't last nearly as long as the cheaper things they are meant to replace.
Your smart house had better be extremely smart so that it can save enough money to offset all of the higher expenses.
Gee, sounds like you hit on the reason this would happen in the first place. Not that they would make it try to "offset higher expenses" since that would kinda be the whole point...

that's right, all those goddamned monkeys running fortune 500 companies are all a bunch of goddamned imbeciles. And do you know why? 'Cuz they don't know what Linux is. What little they do know they read in CIO magazine. So in other words, what they do know is a bunch of goddamned bullshit. Srsly folks, wake up! We're all being controlled by a cabal of practically sub-human mongoloids.
There are some people who thing[sic] that change is always bad, and that the latest must be garbage. They're the people who are still using OS/2, AmigaOS or CP/M. Then, when some new technology comes out, they hem and haw about how whatever crusty old software they hang on to is the pinnacle of computing. Yes, they suffer through the obsolete systems and ancient hardware, but they don't care, as long as it's not new. Then they tell you to get off their lawn.
I would argue that the "=~" operator is only briefer than the equivalent python code, it isn't really any clearer (another difference is that the re.sub gives someone who isn't familiar with s/// something to search for; but that isn't something that matters a whole lot, it only happens once that a reader doesn't know s///).
It gets even better if some schmuck decided to use different delimiters... s!foo!bar!
Yuck. I'm not a perl hater but I'll be damned if you can't do some really awful shit with it.

Off-topic, but thanks for the tip, that's awesome.

You've got that backwards.

'sarchasm'.
Is that the gulf between a sarcastic comment and someone who takes it literally?

Honestly, I don't know how you socialists live with yourselves. That sounds positively awful. ;)
Justice. Does the word even have a place in our society any more?
Did it ever?
You could say they're Socialists.
Well you COULD say that, but then that would make you an idiot.
Duh, McCain was only hacked to make it look like it wasn't him!

no.

i was going to make some kind of contextual reply to your comment, but i just couldn't bring myself to read it.
i only read the story tags.
