Because something is wrong or vandalised,
that dosen't make it wikipedia's fault
See, this is the problem that many people seem have trouble understanding. It doesn't matter if it's wikipedia's fault or not. Pointing fingers is a juvenile pasttime; in the end, all that matters is whether Wikipedia is reliable or not. Under the current system, it isn't.
Wikipedia is a great resource. However, its credibility problems are not going to magically go away no matter how hard people wish they will.
I can choose not to use it, but it remains in my system.
So? It's not like IE can be exploited if you don't use it anyway. Whether or not those bytes on your hard drive happen to be a copy of IE is completely irrelevant as for as your security is concerned.
I find it nonsensical that a bunch of people performing legal activities should, taken as a whole, suddenly become illegal. In the situation you describe, there are certainly instances of negligence for which specific people should be criminally liable. (In this case, at least the boss who told the driver to dump it at location X without determining whether it was OK.)
Is it worth punishing ALL the employees for the criminal actions of just a few of the corporation's agents?
What I don't understand is why anyone would consider the corporation to be responsible for the criminal actions of people within the corporation. If people are doing things that are illegal, shouldn't we be punishing them rather than some abstract entity?
I am pretty sure you do not know a lot about bash or even ksh.
All the features you cite are already present in bash, and then a lot more.
Huh? Perhaps you'd like to point out where I can easily search for a command along with its output, or a text-editor style command window? Neither screen, nor editor-mode, really do what the parent poster was suggesting.
Maybe I don't think that his ideas are all that interesting -- but you come across as somebody who is so defensive of his precious command line that you fly off the handle when somebody makes the slightest suggestion.
This reminds me of the stupid emacs/vim pissing matches. They inevitably end up with people shouting back and forth "well, can you do [obscure task]? Well, in that case, can you do [obscure task 2]? Well..." until they finally find one that doesn't have a simple equivalent, which is then taken as proof that one is better than the other.
I didn't see anything on it, but have they done any dubbing? I personally prefer subtitles, but they may try to pull a "Must appeal to a wider audience" when they pull it over to the states.
Howl will almost certainly be released in the same way that Miyazaki's other movies have been here in the states: the DVDs have both english and japanese audio tracks, and English subtitles as well. As for whether the dub will suck or not -- so far, most of the dubs have been very good. The only exception, in my opinion, was Castle in the Sky, which had a pretty poor dub.
Charge $13 for each of those and they're looking at $75.
Where the heck do you live that it costs $13 a movie? At a more typical $10 per movie, that's only $50, which is about what the original-trilogy movie showings cost. The theater will probably even do a little better than average on food sales for those people.
I don't think I've ever preordered anything (unless the deal was too good to pass up) because usually the incentives to buy in-store on opening week are better than what you'd have been offered six months in advance.
Some places often sell things cheaper during the preorder period. Although that's kind of hit and miss, since occasionally they will put something out for a super-low price on the opening week. (Given that the other extended editions were going for $25-$30 when I bought them, though, $22 for RotK sounded like a pretty decent deal.)
The other reason is that it's easier to preorder and forget about it than to rush to the store on release day. I probably won't even remember that it's out between the time it's released and the time it shows up at my door.
Why they should not be allowed to rise their CO2 generation?
If the point of Kyoto was to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, then policies that actually achieve that would make sense. On the other hand, if it's all just political maneuvering that has nothing to do with the environment, then Kyoto as written makes perfect sense.
If you or anybody can provide some kind of verifiable evidence that the world was created in 7 days I will consider coming over to that side.
You're missing the point. He wasn't saying that you have to "come over to his side." He was objecting to your supercilious attitude and your claim that conservatives are always trying to hold us back. Taunting someone because of their faith makes you an intolerant bigot.
Now, on the topic, here is something you should look at. It says that two-thirds of Americans support a space program that "would include a stepping-stone approach to return the space shuttle to flight, complete assembly of the space station, build a replacement for the shuttle, go back to the Moon and then on to Mars and beyond." Not only that, 79% of Republicans support it, while only 60% of Democrats do.
In other words, your claim that conservatives aren't interested in space exploration is full of crap.
A *STANDARD* type of Linux distro, app installer, etc. would be a great stride forward for Linux.
What do you mean by "standard?" If you mean a single distribution / desktop environment / set of applications that everyone will use -- forget it. You're going to be using Windows for a long time.
You lost all credibility right there. This is the same guy who kept on backing up the faked memos after everyone else realized they were fake, and who insists that everything Michael Moore says is gospel truth.
So instead of wasting a couple seconds every time you sign up for a mailing list, you prefer to waste money on bandwidth to download thousands of spam e-mails?

And anyway, I'll believe the stuff about thin CRTs in 2005 when I see them on the shelves.
I was talking about ASCII. I am well aware of the fact that there is a gzip file format. That still does not make ASCII a file format.

You wouldn't notice if your mail program set it on a queue to send after the hash has been computed.
