Except it doesn't. Not really. Even Zen Garden's pages are simplistic, and include empty divs just to be used place random decoration. The dream is that the HTML would declare data, and classes for that data, and the style tells the page how to look, but it really doesn't work that way. In a practical enviorment, the HTML and the CSS are coordinated. skinable platforms like JQuery use Javascript to ease the pain a bit, and dynamicly generate that html, but CSS honestly adds very little, and comes with a lot of headaches.
In previous version they offered an upgrade path, usually half price for having windows already. But when you are on XP, Windows 7 is two versions away, and replacing the operating system for my two person household costs an extraordinary 400 dollars for no exciting differences. No thanks. That is a huge barrier. For a gamer family, that's cost prohibitive.
I just don't care. XP works as a platform for the programs I actually use, and between the lack of anything to be excited about, and lack of a clear upgrade path, I will probably use XP until I lose my key.

I thought while I was doing some upgrades on my computer I might want to go ahead and take the plunge from XP to Windows 7. Sure, it would be a huge hassle, and a learning curve, but the time had come.
Then I saw the price tag.
Sorry, but for what they are offering, I realized I really wouldn't pay more than 50$ for.
The civil rights movement had clear and obvious policy changes to go along with it, so there was really no need for a second step.
Its a little more difficult when its something like the financial system. We need something somewhere inbetween what we have now, and the "hang the bankers" approach, and first step is to get people on the same page on the direction we want to go. Right now our country can't even decided what about itself it doesn't like.
There are a lot of immoral ways to abuse the financial system that are not obvious crimes in themselves. Antitrust laws for example, were designed to interrupt a behavior that while not fraudulent, eroded the mechanics by which capitalism worked in a healthy economy. You can't always stick to the blatant.
Its like the Dunning–Kruger effect, the more you know about a subject the more you realize how much of it you don't understand
I have some suggestions on policy changes, passing another Glass-Steagall Act, stronger antitrust laws, etc, but lets be honest, it would take years as a full time job to understand exactly what is going on, and determining a way to fix it. I have a different job, and no time to pick up a second. What we do know is that the financial system is woefully broken, and rewards people who know how to manipulate it vastly more than those who are actually making contributions to society. We also know that this abuse has become so prevalent, that it is damaging the economy on a wide scale.
The first step is admitting you have a problem. Once everyone is on the same page, then we decide the specific reform.
Ah, thank you for the explanation.
Makes me wonder, if they can inject, but not remove chromosomes well, could they just insert an enzyme or something to disable existing DNA?
But the tissue isn't comparable with the donor because it still has the old egg DNA. That is why they are describing it as only a step in the right direction, but it seems precariously close what you would accomplish in sex.
I am unclear on if what happened here was anything more than skipping the sperm to introduce DNA into the egg. It sounds like removing the old DNA from the egg was breaking the reproduction method, so they just left it in. Is this any different from normal reproduction other than method of DNA delivery?
There comes a time when you adapt something so far, that it is clunky and frustrating to use in its new role. Its time to throw it out and make something that is designed to do what we want it to.
Rocks worked well enough to hammer things for a long time.

The tools to fix this stuff exist, they just aren't done yet. You can still get them if you are willing to swing by their IRC channel.
CSS is about separating content from design.

Now should I more than double that cost to put windows 7 on it, or should I just use the xp key from the last system?
You seem to be confused. I mean a monetary upgrade path. I am perfectly capable of backing up and moving files.
I just don't care. XP works as a platform for the programs I actually use, and between the lack of anything to be excited about, and lack of a clear upgrade path, I will probably use XP until I lose my key.
Explain to me how whatever we come up with won't provide an evolutionary pressure when misused, and become worthless after the bacteria evolves...
Republicans and Democrats only get along when they are both absolutely sure that neither base will notice how much they are getting fucked.
The FCC was given power to regulate by congress.
This was the best rant I have heard in a good while.
I'll check out your book.

Oh.. well now that we have that out of the way...
Please mod parent up, we can't allow distortions like this to persist. I am no fan of Microsoft, but we should stay away from politics level hearsay.

Who wouldn't support Geo-Engineering?
Geo-Engineering is cool.
Good Idea: Bringing in NPCs of a fun race players have been asking for year after year.
Bad Idea: Making an entire expansion off of a joke race.

I pray this is satire. Yet really, this could go either way.
Yeah, I really wish that they would just invent indoor plumbing already so we would have a better way to get water into the house.
Closer, but this still looks like a way to give object descriptions. we need logic in the base language sent over http.

Then we invented hammers.
