You've never actually read the Bible, or you'd realise that it isn't oral and anal sex that's condemned, but homosexuality, be it guy-guy or girl-girl. (Islam does actually explicitly teach that anal sex is sinful.)
But what's a normal character? What if they try spoofing a Cyrillic URL with a Greek character? Maybe a different background for each script? And choose colours dynamically, depending on the scripts present in the URL?
When I was at uni, they provided free printing facilities (HP LaserJets in all labs), and they paid for the toner. You just had to supply your own paper. I got through three years of uni without owning a printer. When I did get a printer, I got an Epson ink jet. The ink was reasonably cheap, and I hardly ever used colour.
I've since given that printer to my girlfriend and got a Samsung colour laser. Built-in network interface is uber-cool, and the price per page is very low. Although the Epson can give a better colour print on glossy paper, the laser can give a much better print on plain paper.
A school in Albury found that it was acutally cheaper to replace Lexmark printers than buy consumables. They've since switched to Samsung.
I think you missed the point. He was saying that (Safari + Mozilla + Opera + IE) > 99% market share. So if Apple, Mozilla and Opera all get together and make their own non-standard "standard", ot won't really make things worse than they already are. IE already does things differently to everyone else, and this doesn't change that.
Be careful - computer hardware does eventually fail. I heard of a CAM setup using a Mac IIvx that failed this year. The whole thing was down until they could get someone to port the software to newer hardware and OS.
Really? In Australia, a lot of public coin-operated terminals run Konqueror or Galleon on Linux for stability. Most Internet cafes give you a choice of Win/IE or Mac/Safari.
The latest versions of iCab and OmniWeb allow you to change what the browser identifies itself as. They can fake as Netscape, IE, Mozilla, Lynx, themselves, or anything else you choose. Maybe someone could write a browser that automatically masqueraded as the kind of browser the site wanted to see.
Now sereiously, how can you say Ultima multi was the first Internet RPG, or the best? Where is it now? What about DikuMUD? It still has a huge following, in its many derivatives and clones (ROM, LPMud, MERC, Circle...). Just look at www.mudconnector.com if you don't believe me! Hundreds of worlds!
And what about Tetris? The greatest action-puzzle ever. It probably has more clones on more platforms than any other game! It's even been ported Texas Instruments and Hewlett-Packard graphing calculators. Maths teachers the world over live in fear of Jimmy Mardell's ZTetris ruining their classes (look at www.ticalc.org).
Shooters? What about Marathon and Sensory Overload? Maybe not as popular as Doom, but in the same period, and clearly superior.
And how could you not include even one platform game? What about Lode Runner, Pitfall and Super Mario Brothers? A Huge genre of games that just isn't there. They were all very popular!
These guys just looked at the games that had the best advertising campaigns!
Uranium must be in metallic form to be used in weapons. Uranium used for nuclear fuel is in ceramic form, and is therefore unsuitable. Also, uranium for weapons requires higher enrichment than uranium for fuel. The equipment required to convert ceramic uranium to metallic form is unavailable to terrorists, or to most of the population for that matter.

Bulky phone with poor battery life, not enough storage to be a serious music player, screen too small for a PDA, not fast enough to run games.

Search for "yaoi hentai" (guy-on-guy cartoon porn). Teenage girls in Japan love that stuff.
In what way is it a veiled version of the gospel? Lewis was perfectly upfront about it.
I have an Echo 1.3L hatch, and I never get 5.8L/100km. It's more like 6.2L/100km.

But if you use an FPGA, you can load different code onto it dynamically, to make it do different things depending on the application you're running.

I can't remember whose law it is, but it says "as computer storage grows larger, applications will grow to fill it".
Apple's support for sync'ing with non-US mobiles is pretty poor. You need 3rd-party stuff for all the i-mode and UMTS handsets.

It wasn't always relational. Version 2 only had lookups. True relations were only introduced in version 3 (apparently the first version you used).
