It's also going to be pretty hard to explain the day they get a trans man wiping the floor at women's events on the basis that "oh, the admins decided he had to compete with the girls because of his second X sexual chromosome"
ORLY - Way to show your ignorance. Gender is black and white to you doesn't make it true. That stuff doesn't come from LGBT advocates, but from medical researchers in Germany who considered there had to be around 5 to 10 different genders.
1. The balance is sufficiently tipped - it doesn't require suppression but a) relevance of users (the corporate world is far from being the only relevant force, or as monolithically into MS' lockin as portrayed) and b) rough parity for the balance to be tipped
2. Yes, but not to the extent of requiring huge numbers of dirty hacks to keep compatibility with a 6 years old browser.
It tracks a small number of computers on the basis of what it can tell, the methodology is statistically poor AND it's made even poorer because it's doing guesswork, and represents only a limited segment of the market.
Windows, not IE, IE is down to 60% and losing ground. And that ignores the mobile market (dominated by Opera, Safari and Fennec, I think more or less in that order).
Congratulations, you completely missed the point
1 - it's about licensing fees, jpeg has no such fees and all patents have been dead for years or shot down
2 - You quote a nonsensical piece of FUD (the bandwidth thing)
3 - Congrats, you're another self-important prick. I know plenty of people who still work with mp3, or deal with flac. Similarly, studios rarely encode video before post-processing, so it's moot, they could just as well. The BBC uses Dirac, which as far as I know is also a xiph standard.
4 - Hardware acceleration will become moot with openCL.
The shell can be switched to zsh with ease and almost everyone uses bash somewhere
The utilities in an embedded are usually busybox which are not part of GNU, hell, you could even run the BSD utilities.
The kernel can run alone and most linux applications run a kernel without shell or utilities in the embedded world.
The GNU system is a retcon after even the GNU Project internally admitted that GNU was a failure as a full stand-alone OS because its kernel design choices were poor and the kernel hackers had ridiculous priorities.
The distributions are OS in and of themselves. I don't use GNU/Linux, I use Archlinux.
The Daily Mail and the Telegraph are rags, just saying - the Daily Mail was (and still shows its old colors regularly) the newspaper of the British Fascists.
Or phones - they have a 10 days without text thing, which is just a phone made more practical for some people, but nothing for voice messages - have they seriously decided to single out all new technologies or what.
And then there's some towns trying out wifi coverage - or individuals doing the same (I know three parks in my city where I get wifi coverage in the entire area of the park, and a few more where I can get partial coverage in some spots). If anything, the fact that I'm blatant about using a computer (whether my laptop or my handheld) makes me look like more of a geek than when I was a depressed, reclusive, eremitic nerd.
The people who complain are the majors for the most part - and the money they grab even in some cases over cases of infringement of copyright of small indie bands or of in-the-end legal downloads that just happened to be distributed through p2p (jamendo uses bt, there's some private tracker exclusive releases as well, or at least they start as such) doesn't exactly go to the profit of these indies whose visibility is increased, not reduced this way.
As for after the fact rationalization, it was prior the fact, tyvm, except anyway our copyrights lobby managed to levy a tax on blank media instead: again, it doesn't go in the pocket of who makes the art, but the copyright trolls.
But you'd rather be a sanctimonious ass, I figure.
Okay, you either misread my comment as being one from the Hayek-worshipping ideological slaves, or you may have misaimed the comment. What I meant by misreading the classics is that - the classics envisioned a world of competition, and were generally in favor of such things as public education and, seemingly, healthcare, and people generally forget the Theory of Moral Sentiments (and have obviously not read the Wealth of Nations when pretending to worship the ground Smith walked on - case in point: the adam smith foundation).
The classical economists would probably be horrified at the fact that corporations are now the very definition of an eldritch horror when they kept trying to remove the guilds If anything, I'm an anarchoid worshipper of the basque and central italian (emilia, tuscany mostly) idea of independent work and cooperative networks...
Wait, no that's not Nephilim, that's the objection to Rael's interpretation of Elohim (some have claimed it's a majesty plural, but the truth is judaism as we know it is only about as old as christianity)
No, they're not. In the case of music, the money lost is lost by the majors - the money for artists is not and has never been in recordings, with a very very few exceptions. Same for post-theater movies, the money doesn't go to pay the people whose hard work went into it, but to make a fat cheque to an already overpaid mpaa exec.
Slashdot Mirror
Still not sufficient, medical researchers have suggested about 5-10 sexes possible.
1. Twitter updates can be set to private
2. On the ground, plans wreck, twitter is one more way to avoid plan-wreckage.
3. It still remains about you
Your definition is not biological, sorry, you failed.
The data on klinefelter isusually wrong, papers on it can go both ways.

The most common tool is soon going to be the also ran vs the plethora of standards compliant browsers. They're pretty much equal at this point.
We're talking about youtube on a computer monitor there, not watching a movie on HDTV.

all the cool pictures I'll be taking
So many pictures to upload to my flickr account later that day!

PDF would work perfectly fine, they all handle it, and every OS has software supporting the format :p

The Hebrews of the time were still polytheistic actually.

This person may need it - there's many reasons why, ignorant AC.
