If it makes you happier, I believe/. SHOULD make an update to the story saying, "It's a hoax -- Matt Groening was joking." Hardly an earth-shattering event. Only because you assumed some incorrect fact as correct doesn't mean you have to make soul-searching.
But you seem to believe every person with sympathies for the left wing has to make soul-searching, repent and become a conservative.
No, I don't feel sheepish. It was beliavable. Matt Groening's prank on everybody was good exactly because it was believable -- it fits with past behavior by FNC. Your point was?
In my experience Fox is tilted much more the the right than any mainstream network is to the left. Read "What Liberal Media" for more details.
You and I know that, but for a right-wing extremist, 99.999999999999999% of the Universe is made out of baby-eating liberals who are personally after him because he dares believe in God.
"'Now Fox has a new rule that we can't do those little fake news crawls on the bottom of the screen in a cartoon because it might confuse the viewers into thinking it's real news,' he [Groening] said."
What a bottomless pit of stupidity yes-men media is.

IANAL, but it surely seems they have just legalized MAME and its many emulative friends.
A second possible option for Article 4.3 is even more extreme. It would give all judicial authorities the power to seize goods suspected of infringement and any materials and implements suspected to be used in the commission of the offense, as well as any traceable asset. This is much broader than the first option proposed for Article 4.3 where a suspicion is insufficient and there must be an actual finding of infringement before a judge is permitted to order the seizure of a citizen's personal property. By permitting the seizure of property based on a suspicion alone, this second Article 4.3 clause ignores US citizens' Constitutional Due Process Rights that guarantees personal property cannot be taken without due process of law.
With some creative interpretation, it wouldn't be too hard for them to bulldoze your house, Palestine style.
Real number can be mapped to a line. You might argue that this line is itself embedded in a plane representing all complex numbers. But there;s nothing in which that plane is embedded; there are no numbers that can't be expressed as a sum of real and imaginary part.
Funny things about them: 1. Multiplication is not comutative unless you limit yourself to a sub-body in which the third and four components are zero (that would be the good old complex numbers). 2. Nobody has been able to come up with a THREE-dimensional numeric system that makes sense, although no one has proved such a system is impossible.
Isn't Math just mind-blowing?
Feh, people do that in the streets every day

Ooops, it says get paid TO crack, not FOR crack. My bad.
I think in this case you're right. The market will solve such problems as there are plenty of competitors
Correct -- as long as the following doesn't happen.
Lexmark to Canon, Epson, HP, Brother, Xerox, Okidata, Samsung: "Hey, why don't we ALL screw our customers the way I do? This way everybody makes bigger bucks! Together we make more than 90% of the printer market. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink."
It all depends of how many think this is a good idea.
Even if SCO did own the copyright for some part of Linux, they don't own it all. Their understanding of copyright law is abysmal. They just don't get that contributions unrelated to the disputed portions belong to their creators (ex. Kuznetsov has the routing code, Alan Cox has gobs of drivers, the NASA guy has a lot of NIC drivers etc etc etc...) and any of them can sue if the Linux kernel is distributed in violation of the GPL.
I refuse to believe they're THAT stupid. I can only assume someone is lying.
Yeah, it cuts both ways. I remember a case in which a Catholic girl's mom had just died and an Evangelical fundie classmate told her her mommy was in Hell. The teacher rightly sent the fundie kid to the principal, but got some grief from the fundies. Gotta link?

The scary thing is, it made SENSE!

Can't go to http://www.mp3s4free.net - I get a "Host not found" error. Is it just me?
And the RIAA hasn't been able to steal them back? Where can I get such a list? Is there a, hum, Lumiere Project in the mold of the Gutemberg Project?
Send me e-mail and spill the beans. I want to know whose competition to patronize. ;)

First Post belongs to Yuri Gagarin.
It's the sysadmins. They were supposed to configure as delegation-only ONLY the domains Verisign was bastardizing -- .com and .net. Oooopsie.
I still think the patch is kosher; the server administration has the final word, not the BIND developers. No need to recommend against it IMHO.
...who thinks Microsoft could have this OS ready sooner, but are waiting for user-hostile hardware (aka DRM) to take off?
That's it. I'll just shoot myself now.
In Soviet Russia, algebra divides YOU!
And what do you need to drop to have Hexadecanions? Commutativity of addition? %-P My head is going to explode.
And yes, the books where I read about there not being 3-dimensional numeric systems were seriously outdated.

Mr. Pies, meet Quaternary numbers.

That's the Unix Time of the release hour. Maybe they want us geeks to start whipping up cosmological-numerological mumbo jumbo on this?
And, you know, Wesley Clark is dangerously similar to Wesley Crusher!
WARP FACTOR TWO!
No, not pr0n://pr0nID, but info://pr0n/pr0nID. All of these new URIs will begin with "info://".
And since your request was poorly formatted, it is I who call dibs on the info://pr0n/ namespace. MWAHAHA!
