No, but Google has now managed to instantly destroy all the cool they've built up. I admit to being a Google fan but I now look forward to watching their inevitable destruction.
It doesn't help you at all. The searches are based on artist, album, or song name. So unless people know who you are they won't know to search for you.
You need to work on your reading comprehension. I never said I would fuck people over to get what I want. In fact, I do almost everything in my power to not do that even accidentally. However, there are many many people who will. Those are the people at the top of the food chain running things. If you think any different, then you have a lot to learn about how the real world works. Once again, take your sanctimonious shit and shove it up your ass.
Nobody here thinks we have some "god-given right to technology jobs". However, we don't like companies that ship jobs out (especially our well paid jobs) to some other country just so they can save a few bucks.
You are right about the ex-soviet states. If they bothered to learn english, you guys would be fucked. If the Chinese learned english, everyone would be fucked because they'd have programmers working for $1 a day.
I have met plenty of Indians who are pompous and quite pleased with themselves. Don't think we have some kind of patent on that. It's something you will find in people all over world.
Finally, fuck the "large portion of humanity". I, JUST LIKE U, only care about MY FUCKING PORTION. Don't play self righteous with me. Every one is in it for themselves. To say otherwise is to either be incredibly naive, deluded, stupid, or a fucking liar. Take your pick which you are. The only difference between anyone is how many people they are willing to fuck over to get what they want.
Oh give me a break. You're trying to tell me the brits stripped all of india's resources in less than a hundred years? Bullshit. You guys are fucked because of the rampant corruption of your government where everything is run with bribes. You'be been out from England's thumb for almost 60 years now. Time to start blaming yourselves for your problems. Oh, and if it wasn't for the brits teaching your sorry asses English you'd be an even bigger shithole than you are now. So fuck off.
There's no argument that Wikipedia could use some sprucing up here or there but overall it's pretty damn good considering it's an all volunteer force. If you really care about quality, then PAY FOR IT and consult authoritative sources.
This Seigenthaler guy is a fucking moron. He would like everyone to be held accountable for everything posted to the internet. This is simply impossible to manage. You would have to double the size of the government to even make a dent. Of course, the whole issue of free speech comes into play as well.
As I recall, wikipedia has a disclaimer saying that it is strictly for entertainment purposes.
You're an idiot. There is no such thing as "competative crap-taking". There is no skill in taking a shit. I can assure you that if you played against Fatil1ty in a FPS, that you would soon realise that what he does requires just as much skill as playing quarterback in football. The main difference is he doesn't have to worry about his head getting ripped off by a defender. However, he still has to have extremely fast reaaction times and dexterity. You don't think it's a sport simply because you don't respect it as a skill. Personally, I think golf is fucking gay but it doesn't keep it from being a sport.
Yep. If Google does buy AOL, they will instantly go from one of the coolest companies on the planet to one of the lamest. Pretty neat trick when you think about it.
Oh well, I'm getting tired of them anyway. Their search engine sucks ass. It gives too many results and 99% of them you don't even give a shit about. It's near impossible to find the data you want anymore.
1) they didn't vote for war. They voted for the option for war AS A LAST RESORT. Which for Bush meant "lets wait a week, then invade...". In truth, I'm sure most dems knew that voting for that bill most likely meant war so I won't excuse them.
2) the "PATRIOT Act" was handled in the most underhanded way imaginable and was released for review by congress at like 3 AM to be voted on in the morning and it's over 300 pages long. Both sides had negotiated exactly what text was to be in the act and there was supposedly agreement on the comprimises. The Dems assumed the Repubs updated the text as agreed and voted accordingly. Oh, and at that time voting against something called the "PATRIOT Act" was political suicide. On this, I completely blame the Republicans.
Actually #ffffff will not render the full brightness of your monitor unless you have your monitor's brightness turned all the way up. Even then it won't be full most likely since other settings can impact brightness as well. However, you're right that the article is misleading.
There was this guy in my EQ guild (Triton) on Povar that had the name Pimpn' Ain'tEasy. He had this name for almost two years before the "man" caught up with him and made him change it because for some odd reason they felt it didn't fit the fantasy genre of the game. The interesting part about it was that his in-game personality seemed to change with his name. We caught on to his new name easily enough but he, as Pimpn', just wasn't the same. I also can't remember his new name.
The point being I guess, that I agree identity is important but I think it may be more than just about people recognizing you.
He should of thought of that before he picked the name. They don't make it a secret that you can't have titles in your name. People who violate naming policies are always at risk of having it changed and frankly, I don't care to hear them bitch about it when it happens. Of course, he plays the alliance side who generally feel priviledge anyway so I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.
Sorry but if you think a site with headlines like, "Study Reveals Pittsburgh Unprepared For Full-Scale Zombie Attack" is real then you have much bigger problems. Also, China (the source of your article) is quite possibly the most propagandized country in the world and they will use every stupidass thing they can find to help them propagandize more. It really has nothing whatsoever to do with The Onion or this case.
Sorry but I don't have these experiences and I use Windows at work and at home. Could it be that you're frustrated because it doesn't work like your Mac?
Germany ban list includes: Doom 1 and 2, Wolfenstein 3d, Manhunt, and Spear of Destiny. It's possible Germany has changed their policy on this but if so, it's new.
You can cherry-pick games like GTA if you want but it doesn't change the fact that many games (especially violent ones) are banned in Germany. Personally, if I can't kill someone in a game I couldn't give a shit about it.
Nah, they're just like all the other dap makers these days...if it's free, you can forget it. IMO, all players should support just about any format you want by allowing you to download whatever codec your interested in. Why nobody seems to do this is a mystery to me. For codecs that have a license fee, they could charge for downloading. Viola! Everyone gets what they want we can all shut the fuck up about it.
All I know is that I'm fucking pissed that Rio went bye-bye because that means there will be no Karma II. I still haven't found a player worth replacing my aging Karma I. (Yes, ogg support is mandatory.)
True that. You can't bring up anything related to web apps without some rails drone coming out an spewing how wonderful rails is and that if jesus were a programmer, that's what he'd be using./yawn

I guess I'll have to cheer for yahoo! now.

Clearly you know nothing of women. Money = women. Rich, ugly men have no problems getting women way above their level. Are you really that ignorant?

One senator does indicate a trend. Plus it doesn't change the fact that they were mislead.

No, it is placed there without the user's knowledge. He cannot give permission for something he doesn't even know is there.
I agree completely. It's very hard to find the information I really want now. Sometimes, less is more. That is certainly the case here.
Good thing you went anonymous with that post, otherwise you would have been modded down for dissing Apple (in spite of the fact it's true).
I don't care if I get modded down, so feel free.

Not really since most people who you hand your card to couldn't care less about your actual identity.

I'm inclined to believe there won't be any free formats. They had one and then got rid of it. Therefore, their trend is to not include them.
True that. You can't bring up anything related to web apps without some rails drone coming out an spewing how wonderful rails is and that if jesus were a programmer, that's what he'd be using. /yawn
