yup, and real social scientists have done very similar tests with dolls (one black, one white) and arrived at much the same results as the child's science fair project did.
i am a lefty for sure, though not a Marxist-Leninist by any stretch (more like a secular humanist-socialistic democrat with anarchistic tendencies) and i often find the overall tone of/. posters to be a bit more reactionary and politically naive than i care for... i am NAT'ing my DSL connection, btw, i have three computers in my home that share that puppy. Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke. ()
AOL TimeWarner is the only game in town here for kaybull teevee and kaybull modem service... i never ever even considered using AOL as an ISP, not in my most horrific nightmares... i do not and would not give TimeWarner kaybull a single penny... WHY IN THE HELL would i want a monolith like AOL TimeWarner to provide me access to the 'net via kaybull??
Star Trek... bubosh! i hated it then and now... I remember my abject disappointment when I viewed the first episode of the FIRST Star Trek when it FIRST aired, do I remember the episode itself? NFW! A seminal and transformative experience in my very early (!) youth: "A Wrinkle In Time" by Madeleine L'Engle...
"there is strength in a union"... and capital owes no allegiance to anything but itself (and the accretion of more capital, and thus aims to expand its markets), it has no allegiance to any local community, state, nation, etc... capital will NOT act in the best interest of anything but itself, and therefore needs regulation and oversight to make it behave with some semblance of responsible behavior towards the community, state, and nation in which said capital is privileged to do its business... in order for capitalism to have a 'human face' (as opposed to having a rapacious gaping maw, as it would like) it must be made to behave in ways somewhat less than its ruthless nature would have itself do. a union is only one of the ways to attempt to make capital and capitalism behave somewhat responsibly and with a 'human face'...
yeah, YOU... you filthy subhuman racist swine... stinking OFAY MOFO scumbag from hell WHITE TRASH
oh, and Star Trek? I quit watching that dumbass program after the third episode in the ORIGINAL series (when it first aired)... get a life, y'all
atheist to the core here... and I say 'bane'... the fringe are proceeded with 'whole human' cloning, the more respectable scientists won't touch it. (implications, implications, implications: discuss amongst yourselves) Death? I'm all for it... I am well old enough to have a sense of the end, and do not fear it
"Konqueror is very standards compliant. So I use the handy user-agent option to disguise myself as IE. Yay, now I can view it." BINGO, and i do the same with iCab 2.4 which is also very standards-compliant... that said, i do believe that often as not, less is more, simple is beautiful, AND form follows function.
are as dumb as a box of rocks... and my youth was OVER by the time Johnson swore his first oath of office, after Kennedy was shot...
note that i NEVER said a damn thing about global warming? no, you didn't notice? I THOUGHT NOT, you fool. some resources are finite, and some aspects of the earth, such as wetlands, are immeasurably important to earth's stasis IN WAYS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH GLOBAL WARMING.
the more you induce cognitive dissonance by positing facts instead of fiction (facts, like vizshun67 did), the more that MS dupes and sycophants will scream and rant and rave hysterically and hurl epithets at you... QED. no way these MS mythologists/apologists/bootlickers can admit or even see they are in denial, it would wreck their little world inside the box.
it's so nice when you hear it or read it... and NOTHING that MS has EVER done has 'saved Apple from bankruptcy"... Apple, in its inarguably darkest days BEFORE Jobs came back, had FOUR BILLION DOLLARS IN COLD HARD CASH RESERVES, you chump.
showing your monumental ignorance... my, how pointed your head is!
Moto and PPC are not going away, get used to THAT. PERHAPS, you blithering idiot, you have noticed that the whole damn industry is in a donwturn? no? i thought not. Oh, and IBM happens to make PPC chips as well... they happen to have the largest capacity chip foundries in the world, so much manufacturing capacity in fact that they can and do make chips for other 'manufacturers'.
and i suppose not taking it will? get used to it folks, we've soiled the nest... earth can heal its wounds over time, given that we don't pile the shit higher and deeper upon it... ever heard of marshes (wetlands) for example? they're nature's sewage treatment plants, you bloody idiots, and they're disappearing due to development (housing, etc). and on and on and on and *OOPS* no more 'on and on'! go ahead, make the world a hell for your children's children, what the fuck do YOU care? you'll have had YOUR fun and you'll be dead by the time your great-grandkids have to pick up the tab, you bloody fools.
nazis... they are all that and so much more, coming soon to bust a door down in YOUR neighborhood!
off-topic? so what. flamebait? who cares. have a nice day.
typical... another misinformed PPC-basher. Moto never tried to get out of the PPC biz... the same RISC PPC chips you find in the best quality desktops (Apple's) are also used in embedded systems (where Moto makes most of their money on PPC chips), in no small measure due to their low heat generation. Further, 450MHz is the lowend chip now... they've been bumped to 733MHz, pal, and they kill a 1+GHz (you dope: "1000+ GHz"? sorry, no such beast) in many applications, viz the famous Photoshop comparison in which the Mac wins hands down, still.
for more FUD from dopes like this guy, read anoncow posts in/. more often!
Windows is the single largest sitting duck OS out there... its weaknesses as regards vulnerability to virii attacks are legion and legendary... if you want security through obscurity, use MacOS... though of course MacOS X is a UNIX variant and... but both are eminently stable, OS X being a great deal more stable than co-called classic MacOS and EXPONENTIALLY more stable than any windoze variant. no comparison there, any windoze variant needs a reboot far far far far far (etc) more often than does MacOS X.
er... ah... um... nope... morons and idiots and sheep and yes, lemmings all use some variant of windoze OH ESS produktz... it is a widely-known and generally accepted fact. you COULD look it up.

hmm... overclocked to 1.6 GHz... wow, that means it's about as fast as a 733MHz G4 running the latest daily build of OS X... hoo haw!
