I understand where you're coming from, but sometimes the interweb actually doesn't work without the "www". I've encountered a few sites just recently that didn't work. Generally, it's a DNS screwup, or a really fun redirection loop. Whatever it is, sites always work with "www" on the front.
Maybe I'm going senile, but didn't one of the older browsers (early netscape? mosaic?) not even try to load a site unless you put "www" or "web" at the front of the domain name?
The problem is Russia is acting all offended, and trying to make it seem like they're the aggrieved party here. Being for most part authoritarian almost to the point of dictatorship, they seem unable to comprehend that the UK government might be constrained by UK courts from extraditing the guy they want.
Go work in a real business and tell me there aren't bullies, sadistic backstabbing co-workers, power-drunk bosses, etc. They need to handle it themselves, otherwise their whole life will be them being a victim.
If someone is punching you at work, I urge you to call the police and not handle it yourself.
We need to teach people how to handle their own problems.
This isn't a problem that they'll face as adults, though. By letting them handle it themselves we're teaching them to do it the wrong way, a way that won't serve them when they grow up.
Does anyone else think that when somebody puts up a website called "Kill Kylie Incorporated", it's the person putting up the site who looks like a big fucking idiot?
Unless they properly filed articles of incorporation with the designated official government department in their state, and listed an official corporate agent, they could be liable for fraudulent misrepresentation, so yes, they do look stupid to me.
People seemingly nostalgic for the Red Bear seem to love to belabor the "man in space" point, but also seem to avoid noting that the Soviet Union failed the ultimate intelligence test, when it neglected to ensure its own survival.
I see the CFO as being internal as well. They are about numbers and can do their job well without ever having seen a customer or any of the products made by the company. But CFOs make it to CEO.
I think other jobs with similarly internal focuses are head of Human Resources, or head of accounting, both of which need information about where the company is heading, but mainly to let them support the company's internal functions.
"Knowing what we know about CIOs -- that is, that most are smart, hardworking, supremely aware of how the business works and increasingly savvy regarding the workings of external customers' minds -- the failure of more CIOs to become CEO has to be one of the biggest mysteries of our age."
I don't really see it that way. Unlike the CEO, CFO, President, board members, etc., the CIO's focus is internal rather than external. The CIO's "customer" is generally his or her own company itself. Why would a company risk promoting someone who's focus is inward-looking into a position where they have to look outwards as well?
Even if the Second Amendment referred only to ownership of arms by a "government sponsored militia" (which it doesn't), there's the little fact that under the provisions of USC Title 10, Chapter 13, Section 311, every male citizen between the ages of 17 and 45 years is a member of the militia of the United States. Look it up.
That's a statute, not a Constitutional provision. Which means that if Congress passes a law incompatible with that Section you cited, then the later law overrides the earlier one.
well, the military CAN be a powerful bulwark for progressivism as demonstrated in Venezuela. but that's because their military has a long tradition of being closely tied with the progressive movement there. and so far Venezuela has been an anomaly.
Actually in a lot of mideastern countries the military is a strong secular, progressive force.
Sure, because as a company, when I have a license to print money, I just throw it away in the name of "innovation".
Blizzard are doing everything right as far as cashing in on their IP. They should continue. If that means another expansion, or another revision of a hugely popular, best-selling game, then they should do it.
Yep, they're doing everything right, but I think the one issue people have here is they're being a bit dishonest about the "treading new ground" thing, that's all. They should just be upfront and honest about their tendency to stick with formulae.
Well as a liberal who believes the more unequal the distribution of wealth, the worse off we are, and as someone who believes the wealthy should be more heavily taxed to provide more welfare spending, I still stand behind my statement. I think there's a substantial difference between third world poverty and first world poverty. Poverty as it existed in 1969 America could be fought while you also explored space. It could be argued that poverty as it exists in rural India in the present day is incompatible with ambitious, unnecessary government programs.
I'm not sure where you moved to in the US, but I know most major urban areas on the east coast have some pretty good supermarkets. Whole Foods, Wild Oats, and Wegman's spring to mind.
I am very insulted by any insinuation that my recent elevation to the offices of Duke of Kent, Archbishop of Canterbury, and Lord High Admiral have anything to do with gifts paid to government officials. I assure you, they all came about because of merit.

we tend to be more diserning consumers.
Are you all more intelligent and good-looking too?
Well....that's how you pay a $25k tax bill when you don't have the money. I really don't follow you.
Somebody please point to me where Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Constitution our Inalienable Right to Buy DVD's without Digital Rights Management

The correct term is "most densified".

Every civilization falls, eventually.
In other words, we're no different from construction workers in their eyes. Even if you get up to CIO/CTO, you're still an electronic grease monkey.
Which is exactly why I left IT.

Honestly, what's the point of this information aside from more FUD from Microsoft fanboys?
Microsoft fanboys?! Are you kidding?! This is slashdot, they're all Nintendo fanboys.
Agreed!
The Dreamcast was the lightsaber of consoles; a more elegant console for a more civilized age.
the Department of Education won't investigate teachers' union corruption ...
The Department of Education isn't a law enforcement agency; they don't have the authority to go after things outside their department.

I do miss the coronation chicken sandwiches, I'll admit. And the cheese.

Yep, I remember back when Electronics Boutique only stocked computer games, mostly C64 and Apple.
Mostly Sainsbury's and Tesco, about 2 years ago.
