Sez you. Spell check to me appears mostly a way of using the wrong word with confidence, because spell check told you that's the word you're supposed to be using. Don't need it, don't want it. Learn to spell instead.
Please correct me if I'm wrong or fill me in on what I'm missing but the thing that's always bugged me about web standards is when they started MS had just about 100% of the market share.
You're wrong. When web standards started, MS had 0% of the market share. Internet Explorer did not yet exist. The standards were there first; MS decided not to support them.
Flying cars had (and have) two basic flaws that prevent their implementation:
a) Controlling a vehicle in three dimensions takes more skill than the average person has. Remember the last idiot you saw on the road? Which would have been today if you've driven today, by the way. Now imagine him *flying*.
b) a vehicle that generally operates with the ground 500 or 1000 feet below it needs better reliability than can be obtained with the way the average car is maintained. Doubly so when you remember you not only have to be worried about the vehicle and its passengers but whatever the vehicle might fall on.
a misinterpretation of a calendar developed by people who never invented the wheel and who's year had only 360 days.
A misinterpretation? Definitely.
Never invented the wheel? Untrue; archaeologists have unearthed Mayan toys with wheels on them. The Mayans just never put it to constructive use. There is speculation that the Mayans in fact were culturally biased against such efficiency--building a temple with less effort because you used wheels would devalue the temple *because* it took less effort.
The Mayan solar year had 365 days. They had a 360-day calendar which was followed by five "nameless" days at the end, which they considered to be a time when the gates to the Underworld were open and a very dangerous time.
A large percentage -- not all, but many -- of those Christians fear that some big magic grandpa in the sky is going to throw them into a lake of fire where a horned monster will supervise their torture for infinite time.
You left off the topper--that the magic grandpa will subject them to eternal torment because he loves them.
Tell me about it... There's so much feeping creaturism going on in my project that I have to make a SAN check to go to work every morning (if I fail, I go).
How can you get any work done if you can't access your disk storage?
It would fail because he would still get no takers. The vast majority of website owners won't take the cash if it means cratering their website, which is what it would amount to.
and that Microsoft or Yahoo promise to drive as much traffic their way as they'd lose by pulling out of Google.
And how in the name of Bill Gates are they going to keep that promise? They might as well promise everybody magical pegasus ponies.
if it passes the Unit Tests, then how is it really bad?
If you believe that passing the unit tests means the code is acceptable and bug-free, you are fool and I don't want you touching any code I am responsible for.
If you can't Read The Fine Article, could you at least Read The Fine Summary? This is an *uncut* version of that pilot, containing a great deal of footage that wasn't aired.
Finally, please explain how elegant the human appendix is, what divine purpose it was put here to fulfill?
My favorite is using what is generally a creationist's argument against him--trying to get creationists to explain human eyes. You see, it's an inferior design, because the optic nerves are *in front of* the photosensitive cells, causing the eye to have a blind spot. Squids have a better design, with no blind spots. Evolution can explain this easily. Creationists have a hard time explaining why God gave squids better designed eyes than we have.
More likely she was just tired of being married to some old king who obviously wasn't a very nice person as he was willing to kill his own daughter to please Poseidon.
That was Agamemnon, not his brother Menelaus. Agamemnon's wife Clytemnestra got to show him what she thought of that when he got home from the war.
I still play Age of Empires 2 for the whole walling off thing but it still doesn't beat a well developed rush.
Say wha? AoE2 walls are fun, but you don't need them. Anti-rush tactics consist of ringing the frigging alarm bell and watching your holed up peasants shoot the hell out your moron opponent's attackers. You can *not* take a town center while in the Dark Age, and it's damn tough in the Feudal Age. You really can't develop a decent attack against an enemy base until the Castle Age, and you don't get the *really* cool siege toys until the Imperial Age. AoE2 is one of the most anti-rush RTSes I know of.
why not just formalize the situation if for no other reason than the tax benefits?
Generally, in the US, if both the man and the woman are pulling down a paycheck, marrying results in a tax *increase*, not a tax benefit. While married couples pay on a lower tax rate schedule, their combined income drives them into the higher brackets and they pay more. You can file separately, but then you pay on a *higher* tax rate schedule than single people. Google on "marriage tax".

If you want to discard the overwhelming evidence in favor of evolution because a book tells you to, that's your prerogative, I suppose...
It was MURDER!

That was Agamemnon, not his brother Menelaus. Agamemnon's wife Clytemnestra got to show him what she thought of that when he got home from the war.
Apparently it was. You may want to remember that the Greeks didn't win by breaking the wall.
