I was just pointing out that while the parent commented that the US was one of the safest places in the world, it is not. We have a horrible violent crime rate here compared to many other places.
It was a very objective comment, that you seem to think implied otherwise.
I think a more obvious use would be to avoid having to take a document over to the copier and try to get it look halfway decent when you could stay at your desk in the library and scan what you need and continue working. Definitely a time saver when you need copies of information you can't take out of the library, etc.
Most people can't tell the difference between a quality MP3 and a CD; because they aren't listening that closely.
It wouldn't be too hard to study this, hook someone up to headphones, blindfold them, and play them identical excerpts from a CD and then MP3 and make them guess which was which; or just say which was "better quality."
People who evade taxes think they're following completely legal steps as well; but instead have just been misled by others who have just been luck enough not to get caught yet. You could still be liable for many things, even if you take this guy's word that it's completely legal and it turns out otherwise.
We're in "No Child Left Behind" mode now though; so that means that we have to dumb everything down so everyone can succeed on the same level and past pointless standardized tests that see if 6th grades know 1st grade math and 50% of them still can't pass....
You need to learn to read a little better; they provided several links along the side of the article. I know, because I read the article a few days ago and visited the sites they spoke about.
Same here; after our first year we were expected to know how to program, and if we didn't know a particular language required for a project, we had to learn it on our own time. Most of our classes consisted of theory, with occasional programming projects thrown in to help you learn the theories better.
Any of your top level schools are going to teach it this way; if they don't, they might as well be a technical school and call it a computer technology degree; because you aren't learning a science at that point, you're learning an application of a science.
Calling any who can program a scientist is like calling a farmer a biologist.
There are many reasons why someone would choose to attack Microsoft,
Microsoft's servers just held up pretty good against a DDoS attack, this could either encourage people to try harder, or cause them focus their attention elsewhere.
Most people haven't even heard of SCO
Many in the business community and computer related industries do know what Unix is, what SCO is, and what Linux is; just because the old lady down the street doesn't know, doesn't mean that people who this effects don't know.
are horrified by what has happened.
Wouldn't that sort of be like feeling bad for the bully when someone beats him up for once? Or do we all sit on the sidelines and clap; or at least smile a little bit at the joy we get from watching him squirm.
Your generalizations are no better than those espoused by this article.
Or he's just a crappy journalist that happened to land a job at BBC? If the New York Times will hire plagiarists; why can't the BBC hire a few losers now and then too?
English is the de facto language; however, you can request many government documents in multiple languages, and there is no law that says you have to do anything in English.
Adding a law to make English the official language would create a lot more problems than it would solve, and would cost a lot of money. Would we force all businesses to have everything labelled in English? Would we have to stop any public instruction in other languages (not learning a new language, but those schools that teach students who only speak Spanish for example).
All that such a law would do is restrict access to certain things for some people. It wouldn't really help you or me or most of us out in any way.
With the large influx of Hispanics into the United States, it is probably more likely that we will see increased Spanish language education, as many existing businesses will want to cater to as many people as possible, and it is easier to adapt to your clients than to demand they adapt to you.
Slashdot Mirror
With the number of accidents NASA has had, I doubt GEICO would save them any money. They're probably labelled high risk.
Restricting speech promoting pedophilia and terrorism doesn't get rid of the problems that cause pedophilia and terrorism.

Uhm, yeah, the US has some of the highest crime rates in the world pal.

The MP3s that are being sold are HIGH quality aren't they?
Most people can't tell the difference between a quality MP3 and a CD; because they aren't listening that closely.
It wouldn't be too hard to study this, hook someone up to headphones, blindfold them, and play them identical excerpts from a CD and then MP3 and make them guess which was which; or just say which was "better quality."
You mean like Megamaid?
"walk to the TV stupid"
You know, you used to HAVE to get off your rear end to change the channel. Of course, that was before 2/3 of the United States was overweight.
It's also a biased statement; the author of the statement has already assumed they are property by saying "their owners."
Support technicians, for forcing them to spend 50% of their time helping 5% of their customer base.
Perhaps the millions of people that e-mailed them?

SCO can always withdraw the case at anytime; they don't need IBM to move for dismissal.

I probably missed a few things, but you get the general picture.
The word is 'unary'.

The first picture listed appears to be a female; therefore you should be tracking her down.
Obviously these men are proving that their "defect" is in fact not a hinderance to their existence at all, therefore nullifying your argument.
