It doesn't even outline what the supreme court is supposed to do. What strict constitutionalists fail to realize is that the constitution is not a document written by a group of well meaning men with no political bias or agenda. Quite the opposite, it's the product of intense political bargaining. the 3/5ths Majority, the Missouri compromise, the commerce compromise... This document that we are governed by is meant to try to appease both federalists(with clauses stating that Congress has the power to provide for "general welfare" as well to do everything "necessary and proper" to do that. This is balanced by the 10th amendment placating antifederalists. The founding fathers did not have you in mind when they wrote the Constitution, they had their own interests and agendas in mind.
How about a gaming scene where games based on murdering thousands of nameless, faceless opponents aren't common place? I know video games don't make kids violence, but, it *really* does look bad when you've got crazy ass kids blowing other people away and it turns out they've spent most of their free time playing FPSes.
Given that these tests have if not methodological history, then atleast spirtual ancestry in stuff like the MBTI(tm) test, which is horribly flawed in it's concept and methodology, I'm pretty skeptical of these tests. these tests really only weed out the obscenely stupid or inept. Which I guess where they succeed, but I'm also wondering if they weed out honest and capable individuals. Although if you can't do some googling and get an answer in an IT context, maybe you shouldn't get that job as an admin or support rep.
Just because it's a good idea doesn't make it a requirement.
Which seems to be a large majority of the philosphy behind DOS/Windows. Like proper user account security. Or a decent webbrowser. Good idea, but it's not a requirement.
You don't *need* drivers for CDROM access in DOS. Drivers just provide an API where you can communicate with the hardware. However, if you're an application developer and you're cheeky and/or stupid, you could just code commands to the ATA device to communicate directly to the CDROM drive, which is exactly what Windows 95 does, it has it's own set of built in drivers. You can boot Win95 with out MSCDEX, or atleast, you could boot win98 with out MSCDEX.
Doesn't change the fact that the Kernel blew, or that it was complete garbage.
FPSing on a pad has gotten more civilized, games like Ace Combat now ship with USB flight sticks for console, and RTSing is mostly a niche gaming market now, compared to the likes of Guitar Hero and Halo.
if Begich didn't beat Stevens, I wouldn't even say this.
You've got an unelected, uneducated, unaccountable mob of people trying to make decisions better than an vaguely educated, vaguely accountable and elected group of people.
Thanks, but no thanks. Especially when some people can't figure out we went to the moon or that homeopathy is just water, a web2.0 community collaboration isn't what I'd consider efficient Government. Not yet atleast. It's a neat idea, but nothing I'd put stock in for awhile.
I'll give TG USA the benefit of the doubt, mostly because I know as rude as Adam Carolla is, he's pretty smart and insightful. Yet, I'm sad that Jay Leno wasn't chosen for the show. I mean, he makes THE most sense for it. He was even on Sunday's ep of the UK TG.
But that adds another layer to it. Why are gamers putting up with shitty hardware? Why is QA such a luxury?
It's not easy to fix. Fixing an APIs and OSes to work will break existing products. The question I have is, why are gamers buying into this? it'd be one thing if crashes, incompatibilities, API bugs, etc. weren't the norm, but they are.
But there's one software developer for the platform.
There are a dozen or so MSX configurations and, granted compatible, on all of them, I can slap metal gear or gradius into it and play
There were half a dozen or so CD-i consoles. They "Just Worked" all the same.
This isn't the only case. The FM Towns platform back in the late 80s and early 90s were another example. They even ran on the x86 platform!
Why are gamers putting up with this bullshit? Windows SUCKS for this reason. There's no reason to accept broken, buggy, and incompetent drivers running on a broken driver model running on a buggy, broken and idiot built kernel.

Unfortunately, the constitution is VAGUE.

Jack Kennedy's inauguration heralded the previous era of politics and with Bush Jr. leaving, we say goodbye to that era and begin a new.
How do I know this? He said the one word that pisses off Randian libertarians and thus struck a huge contrast to the previous administration.
GREED.
After he rebuked greed he then articulated the argument for a regulated market.
Let's hope he means it.
Reprogram the simulation and make the Klingons fear you.
There's a practical application behind that bit of Trek fandom cruft.
Change the damn game. Make politics about policy, not bickering.
I think not.

...aaaand this folks, is the antithesis to libertarian bullshit.
I'm still *incredibly* skeptical of tests like this. But this is why I'm not in HR.

the tooth fairy cuold really clean up with a nice profit margin.
Jack's 2100+ years old.
11/jack would be some sort of weird pedophilia.
Not to mention House but Hugh Laurie WOULD make a GREAT doctor.
Neither microsoft nor Toshiba are startups by any measure. this is one hell of an embarrassment.

3.5" floppy.
Sony has a way with formats.
foodnetwork.com isn't working for some odd reason now...
With the amount of juggles, I'd say that Marvel vs Capcom 2 certainly counts. Not to mention the insane amount of magneto/sentinel flight combos.
So what you're saying is that in Vietnam, it's possible to die in a Blogging accident?

So California's Prop 8 was wisdom?
LBJ did atleast one ONE honorable thing.
He resigned after his first term.
Far Beyond the Stars is the best Trek episode ever.
So, yeah. I'd say some people still like DS9 and/or Voyager.
