The vast majority of websites that don't look quite right in Opera are due to bad code on the site.
That's true. And the vast majority of times I get an uncomfortable ride in my car, it's because of a poor road surface.
But...
Because I have the knowledge that there are many bad roads (poorly coded webpages) it still makes sense for me to choose a car with good suspension (a browser that renders those poorly coded pages as well as can be expected.) If I drive up a dirt track on a car with no suspension, it's partly my fault that I get shook to bits.
The term "undiscovered country" comes from a Shakespeare play (Henry the V I think)
Hamlet. It's from the soliloquy that starts "To Be, or Not To Be".
"the dread of something after death, The undiscovered country from whose bourn No traveler returns, puzzles the will And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of?"
yeah, but you don't have to sit and watch Memtest you know? Find something else to fill that time : Mow the lawn, tidy the house, hang some wallpaper, have sex, masturbate frantically... do whatever you'd normally do on a lazy Sunday afternoon, and you'll find you won't have wasted anything like as much RIAA-style "virtual money".
Because in any normal market, retailers sell goods from a variety of manufacturers
Really? I bet that's news to my local Ford dealership.

Dell Still Intel Only

very conservative business people talk as they set themselves up to lose to their competitors
Sorry, but it's just a myth that conservative businessmen always lose out to the adventurous. It just seems like that sometimes because the adventurous businessman a) Makes a better news story b) Often likes to blow his own trumpet about success.
Besides, "Entrenched firm kills startup" is not news. "Startup kills entrenched firm", that's news.
They have too much infrastructure tied up with intel.
Well of course they do. And that would be one of the factors they considered when weighing the options.
Weighing the options does not mean just choosing which is the fastest processor, or which is the best technology, but weighing how much outlay it would cost to retool if you want to switch.
Sometimes it's smart business to pick the lesser technology, if it keeps your costs down.
If Dell had a monopoly on PC manufacture, this would surely be big news. As it is, they're a company who've weighed both sides of an idea, and made a business.
2. Have you considered moving into a different situation where both you and your spouse don't have to work?
Ha ha ha. That would be hysterical if it weren't so pathetic. Quite splendid. The very idea that families living in inner city poverty, in housing projects, can suddenly upsticks and relocate to a more affluent area. Jesus, are you really that out of touch with reality.
As someone once said: "The poor have no bread" "Let them eat cake"
If you're poor and uneducated, what are you doing to change the situation?
Everything I can, once I've made time for my kid. And my 12 hour job.
And if you think that someone working 12 hours on the checkout in Walmart can afford to send their kid to Private School, you're a fucking idiot.
It's one thing to provide broadband for free in public libraries... It's quite another to provide an entire service that competes against real providers.
In what sense is broadband in libraries not in competition with home broadband. That's like suggesting that amazon.com aren't in competition with your local bookstore.
Public education sucks, but note how popular home schooling has become
Indeed, it's very, very popular. Amongst the middle classes, who can afford either a private tutor or for one of the parents to stay home and homeschool the child. Trouble is, if I'm poor and uneducated, or a lone parent, or me and my partner both have to work dead-end jobs to make ends meet.
And that pretty much guarantees my kid, no matter how smart she is, will have to be very lucky to beat the sucky public education system (and you can bet your life that no matter how bad your Public School is, the one in the slums is worse).
So it's considerably more unlikely that my kid, regardless of her talent, is going to break the cycle of poverty.
And that's why well-funded public education isn't an add-on; it must be a vitally important part of any country that wishes to call itself a "Land Of Opportunity."
Don't give me that, you snotty-faced heap of parrot droppings. Shut your festering gob, you tit. Your type really makes me puke, you vacuous, coffee-nosed, maloderous, pervert.
Yes it does. Without mutation (or rather, genetic variation of some sort) the point never gets smeared into the cloud. It's genetic variation / mutation that gives the predators a range of prey characteristics between which to choose.
After that, it's just natural selection killing off the "unfit".
Because the taxpayer gets extra utility for no extra funds
But if the use is commercial would that not imply that the taxpayer is going to have to find extra funds for the utility? Is that not what "commercial use" means?
will without the slightest hesitation be spread across the four corners of the internets.
Well, yeah. But anything they release on DVD -- even with the most restrictive licenses you can imagine -- will get spread to the four corners of the internets. Ask the MPAA.
There's no way they can control illegitimate copying and distribution, but that's not actually the issue here.
A rip-off of rockford, a french cheese and, of course, vastly superior to blue stilton.
Right... I'm gonna take cheese advice from a man who can't spell Roquefort.
And whoo seems unaware that Stilton and Roquefort are made from cow's milk and sheep's milk, respectively. And because of that, do not actually taste terribly similar (roquefort is considerably sharper, and crumblier). Me, I prefer Shropshire Blue and Saint Agur.
As part of my fund-raising campaigning I do a screening of some BBC documentary from the archive on health care in rural Africa and ask people for donations
versus
Don't use it to promote political,
***charitable*** or other campaigning purposes
If the archive is open for free access, no-one is actually going to pay a premium for commercial versions of it
Well, thats not true because the archive is *not* freely available to anyone outside the UK. We get it for free because (in the case of the BBC, at least) we've already paid for it. Everyone else has to pay.

Kilroy Silk isn't in UKIP anymore. He's formed his own party "Veritas".
The name comes from the latin : "Verity" meaning "True" and "Ass", meaning "Robert Kilroy Silk".

The undiscovered country from whose bourn
No traveler returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?"
It's been a long road
Getting from there to here
It's been a long time
But my time is finally near.
And I will see my dream come to life at last
Enterprise has finally been cancelled!
