Great to hear. It would've been nice if they'd switched due to complaints, but it sounds like they may have just got a bigger bribe from Adobe than the bribe they were getting from Microsoft.
All the baseball fans on linux are certainly looking forward to moonlight, to actually be able to watch games without writing python scripts to rewrite the website, and to be able to view all the silverlight-only videos.
Even if you buy that -- which, as an Opera fan, I don't -- moonlight isn't going to be better than silverlight because the whole design plan is for equality.
The obvious reason: a popular silverlight would motivate Novell to develop it that much further. It's not like MS is developing moonlight, they're just helping slightly.
Revenue is not taxed. Profit is taxed. A company tries to maximize profit no matter what. The amount of tax on their profit has no impact on prices, except for stock prices.
The U.S. was running a surplus during the Clinton boom years. The voters hated it, so they voted in a guy who promised to spend the surplus on tax breaks.
Nemesis was purely a fan flick -- it regurgitated bits of plots from all the previous movies into one large mess. And Nemesis was written by a self-described Star Trek fan.
In fact, we'd be paying 16.3% less taxes today if we hadn't elected Reagan to create the debt. It doesn't have to be paid off, but the interest has to be serviced, and when that takes up 16% of your budget you have a problem.
Their thinking is pretty clear from the suddent poll shift (Stevens was losing by 20 points a few days ago): they realized the senate will kick Stevens out, but they want Governor Palin to get to appoint a republican replacement, so they can't vote in the democrat.
You can expect half as much, since there won't be a nomination battle on the side that wins today. It's worse than usual for this election because both parties had hotly contested primaries.
After 6 Republican Presidential terms, they still haven't managed to overturn Roe.v.Wade.
They're only one vote from doing it, now.
On the other hand, taxes are never found unconstitutional,
Good luck finding a supreme court justice who can't read the 16th ammendment. If you want taxes to be unconstitutional, push for an ammendment to make them so. Don't pretend the ammendment doesn't exist, because no judge is ever going to be that stupid no matter how much they personally hate taxes.
I vote my financial self interest
As did I -- I'm tired of having no savings because the republican governments have seen fit to tax the poor so heavily. It may only be 20% of my income, but it's 100% of my money left over after absolutely necessary expenses.
The republican agenda is the destruction of public education in favor of private religious schools that will brainwash children. That will ultimately affect everyone. Preventing science from being taught is one step, vouchers are another.
There are 4 or 5 other menu items for the main course (Nader, Barr, etc etc), which they won't actually make you if you order them. You'd have the right to complain only if you ordered them, though.
There are also many different appetizers, desserts and so on (all the other ballot issues) that you're choosing to ignore and go hungry. In many states these are the direct democracy (ballot measures from the voters) which so many claim to crave.
So yes, it is entirely your fault that you go hungry.
By buying the whole congress at once: if the law is passed/failed as desired, everybody gets more bribe money. If the vote shows the wrong result, the company reduces funding.
You tell me that making OSes that crash every few hours and have to reboot all the time is part of a "mature industry"?
This is obviously your own personal problem for downloading malware or whatever. Just because you break your operating systems doesn't mean they aren't mature. My last reboot was several months ago (not due to a crash -- last crash was probably a year ago), and the last time I used Windows (2003) I actually found XP quite stable and not in need of any regular rebooting (except for security updates).

Not if you could get 88% of your budget from ask.com tomorrow just by switching the search default.

Furthermore, they're full screen, not limited to a quarter screen box with ads surrounding it.
If you can't figure out how to click youtube's full screen button, that's pretty sad.
Can you get your pirate bay content on demand, not having to wait for a download?
Requiring kids to do community service isn't new -- I had to do 10 hours to graduate high school back in the 90's.
They all have a plot. Plot summary: they have sex. No dialog is necessary -- silent movies are still art.

Or reading polls could work, if you can't find the answer in your swimming pool.
I figured he probably has the best (but unfortunately still very small) chance of getting enough votes to scare some sense into the duopoly.
You could read the pools instead of guessing. Nader polls around 2.3%, Barr at 1.5%. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/us/obama_vs_mccain_with_barr_nader-957.html

News flash: not everyone who makes less than $250K/yr is a lazy bum.

His point is that if old people didn't die, McCain would win the election due to his demographic strength with them.
