It doesn't add up, does it? So you're saying that Canada's, Russia's, and China's failure to be as foolish and petty as the United States makes the BBC an unreliable source?
What the US is doing here is ridiculous. Oppose the French solution, fine, but do it for technical or financial reasons, not political ones. The US is the only country doing this, which is even worse.
Sir, I think it's time to go back to FoxNews, lest real news cloud your mind.
You do realize that Walmart is about the most anti-competitive company ever, right? Read all the shit about how they move into a region, undercut everyone and put all the competitors out of business (which they can do because of their massive wealth), then raise their prices when there is no competition, all the while paying their employees less and less.
What is "mullet" racist against? Ignorant people? You really seem like the racist here.
I am however, supportive of my right to purchase media that conforms to my own political, moral, and social views. Of course, you don't support other people's right to purchase media that conforms to their political, moral, and social views. The point is that in a lot of small towns, Walmart is the ONLY VENUE for purchasing music. Shutting out (censoring) content in this way narrows the horizons of these small town folks, leading them to form angry, closed-minded opinions about things, much like yourself.
Why should your "right" to shut yourself off from the world force your neighbors to do the same?
I think you're directing these qualms at the wrong person. You do realize that these giant creatures were in the books, correct? Jackson didn't just add these things in. Talk to Tolkien if you want to whine about something meaningless.
Did you never read the books? Merry and Pippin are made taller by the water. Originally, Bandelbras Took was the tallest hobbit ever, but after the trilogy that crown was taken by Merry and Pippin. They became the tallest hobbits ever after drinking that water.
Even after getting burned so badly, I would think that the venture capitalists' offices would be able to afford guns for their security guards. But that's just me being naive, I guess.
I think you mean "for the price of one thousand and one CDs, you can copy a thousand." Buying WinAmp Pro doesn't really entitle you to copy all the CDs you want without actually... having them. (You did buy all the discs in your massive collection, did you not?)
Less than three times as much as pen and paper? Yeah, don't even bother calling me when I can get a machine from Apple from under $3 too. They'll probably come with a McDonald's Happy Meal.
That's fine, but what you don't seem to understand is that even though it's called the Java Desktop System, it is not only a desktop OS. The "System" is a client-server model with Java card authentification over the network at any of the JDS machines. They didn't just sell China a million machines for $50/year. They sold them a system which consists of a million machines and they will run that system for the rather nominal price of $50 per machine per year.
Just because it says "Desktop" doesn't mean that there is no server and no need for support. The "System" part of the name is crucial.
You don't need a 20 year plan for those. This does not preclude other scientific research; it only applies to these massive, expensive, long-term projects.
Clearly, our open source grammar checker is not up to par. Maybe we should pay someone to give us a proprietary solution, because that would certainly be much more accurate. Somebody call Microsoft!
First of all, it would be Nintendo surprising everyone with their next console, and there is absolutely NO guarantee that it will "demolish" anything. In fact, at this point it seems dubious that it will be able to compete with the Cell, leaving Nintendo in the same place it was with this generation: relying on zealots who ignore better hardware and more innovative games because of Mario. Sony will win the next generation like they won this one and the one before it.
What modern musical artist has even the slightest potential to bring about anything that might be considered one of the greatest changes in thinking? New stuff is all crap, designed to make money. As such, it is created with the idea of being as non-revolutionary as possible.
Seriously though, if the leader of the free world runs IIS, I'm scared. ..
Really? It took IIS to scare you, when the leader of the "free" world (is that free as in beer or free as in freedom?) is George W. Bush? You're the bravest man I've ever heard of!
Because 486 is close to the Sun's western limb, the blast was not directed straight towards the Earth.
I object! I think it was on the east. Proposal to NASA: send somebody to the sun with a compass to find out which way is west. While he's there he can ask the sun how a spherical entity can be considered to have limbs.
cool (2): Pretentious jackass who covers his face when walking within several feet of a cigarette. Suffers delusional psychosis and abnormal/unhealthy fear of smoke, which contrary to popular belief, does not kill you on contact. SEE ALSO: relax, man.
Seriously, the people who need cigarettes the most are the ones who react the most violently to them.
I hate rpelying to trolls, but sometimes people believe the lies.
Yeah, I hate replying to trolls too, but one thing you say is true. Sometimes people do believe the lies. You should stop believing them and think for yourself for a second. Maybe then you'd be less of an asshole.

Oh yeah, that's great.

I believe Apple will hit 100 million by Jan.
You think they'll sell 75 million in the next two weeks? I find that highly dubious, no matter how well christmas goes.
Huh, what do you know -- the internet's on computers these days?
I think you mean "for the price of one thousand and one CDs, you can copy a thousand." Buying WinAmp Pro doesn't really entitle you to copy all the CDs you want without actually... having them. (You did buy all the discs in your massive collection, did you not?)
Actually, don't forget that iTunes originally had no sharing at all. It was added later... like a year after Jobs demonstrated it in a keynote.
Just to point out the facts and all...
I wonder if the boys at Redmond are experimenting with rectal application...
Ballmer: That's right Bill! Shove that Linux tablet up his ass! Up his ASS!
Less than three times as much as pen and paper? Yeah, don't even bother calling me when I can get a machine from Apple from under $3 too. They'll probably come with a McDonald's Happy Meal.
Large companies pay taxes? What?

Then I realized I couldn't read, and that freaked me out even more! Now I understand why Slashdot used to make so much sense before... ;)
Clearly the girl who gave him that number gave him a fake one. A lot like "555-...." and so on. I can see it now:
"Hey! There's a G in here! Wait, hold on!" *hangs head in shame*

"Fluid" isn't really that misleading, considering the fact that gases in this case have fluid properties. The term is scientifically correct.
