After hearing all these accolades for the gesture movement (especially in opera for the back button), I still find the keyboard to be, by far, the best way to get around in any software.
Back? Alt-Left. Forward? Alt-Right.
Despite the crap I'll get for saying it, I dig the Windows button, too-- at least when dealing with Windows. Open the run window? Win-R.
Yadda yadda. Even in video games, I prefer using the keyboard shortcuts over the mouse ones any day.
It's ok to vote for a candidate that loses. Honest. Even if they don't win, your vote sends a message to the rest of America, including the big
political parties.
Not only a message, but also, depending on how many votes they get, they get a certain amount more funding the next year. That's reason enough to vote for who you like.

40% off Oracle Texts.
Very fast shipping.
Even better. half.com. Usually can get books for at least 50% off. Shipping depends on the sending, but every book I've bought (I've already bought about 6 O'Reilly books from there) have come in a timely manner.
This gives me some hope. Maybe within a few years they'll have something I cann attach to my brain so that I can tell the fucking difference between green and yellow.
Hey, I LIVE at 2 G's.
I weigh 330 lbs. About 150 lbs is fat
No you're not. Your feet are living at 2G's (kind of). Your head, your organs, and everything kind of inbetween is still not having 2G's of force being tugged at it.
It's much different.
It's understandable that lawmakers want to make OEM's more responsible for their products, but i'm not so sure that this is exactly the way to go about doing it.
Exactly. This sounds a law dreamed up by politicians without any 'expert' advice. They should seek help in the professional community. Both the professional computer community, and the psychiatrist community.
I'm not sure if a penis-bird would have to be somehow involved, but it would help.
There's always the Uno-Bird. The reason it was called that is because it had such a long penis that whenever it came in for a landing it would yell, "Oooooo nooooooo!"
The thing that upsets me the most is whether or not we are actually messing up the environment. We might be. There is a distinct possibility that we are messing up the blanace and order of the world. So, why not assume the worst? In a century or two, will we just say, "Oops. We were wrong?"
A cliched term, but why not better safe than sorry? Especially when it comes to our existence.
Fact of the matter is that some cds are not worth buying merely because it was one or two songs you enjoy. This should, if anything, encourage artists to make albums that don't suck. If there are enough songs on the album to make the nvestment worthwhile, I'd almost always prefer the cd over the mp3s. Perhaps if singles were more accessible than they are, I'd buy singles over mp3s, too. Would you buy a house that had only one room without flourescent green paint and a notice that said you were unable to change the paint color?
Call me cynical, but when I see Microsoft working on something that will sit between the OS and the user and filter out what gets the user's attention, I don't think of it being used for good.
The best solution (which is not a good one) is to keep whacking the abusers until they get frustrated and go away. This might be doable by a robot, but likely requires a person.
Yeah, and waste company funds to keep the whacker employed. I'd love to have that company title.
Despite all the ranting and raving (and I do agree) about these annoying tactics, I'm guessing the reason they keep doing it is because they never get complaints. Personally, if I come across something annoying, I often close the window, and move on. It's a bad habit.
Make sure if you see any annoying aspect of a website, whether it's an annoying script or just a really disturbing yellow hue on a banner, send the webmaster a note.
Granted it's not going to happen for awhile, but if a kid is ever made completely with artifical DNA, he's going to have more issues than National Geographic.
Kids seperated from their parents at birth, let alone kids who don't have any, can turn out a little mental.
During the infant stages of SETI, the whole subject was kind of silly and no one took many of the scientists (eg Drake) very seriously. Now that there's a possibility for bacteria on Mars and extra-solar planets have been detected (though there's still controvery around that), do you feel that SETI is still not taken seriously by other scientists?
If not, what kind of evidence will be needed (that will possibly be found by OWL) to get scientists to stop looking down on the project(s)?

And have those Intel suit guys do the hammer dance. It would be awesome. I'm tellin' ya.

Since when does my state represent my voice, though? I'd kind of like having my own.

There goes the usefulness of that report.

Anyone else feel like they're playing Civilization?
Or maybe Pizza Hut will pay them to name it PizzaHut.

"Alright, 16 meter pizza coming right up..."
Is it that hard?
That's not cynical. That's paranoid.
Yeah, and waste company funds to keep the whacker employed. I'd love to have that company title.
I'm talking mostly from ignorance here, but hell, if you can do this I'm guessing you can find a way to overclock an AMD chip.

But then 8 gazillion dollars wouldn't be put into trying to get a chip up to a gigahertz.
You could be still using that 386/33 with a 2400 baud modem.
Then again, I miss those days. But, man, downloading porn at 2400 was a pain. - Justin
Even a parrot would be nauseated by the web page of the project page.
