"I'm impressed that MS have placed some emphasis on security rather than listening to developers like me calling for better standards-compliance. Now the Beta's here it occurs to me - finally! - that security trumps standards, whether I like it or not."

I'm not being rhetorical or sarcastic, I'd seriously like an answer to the questions.

It damn well better. She should be suing the ESRB instead. Or perhaps watching the Price is Right like grandmas should and SingTFU about buying mature games for her teenagers.
Don't you realize what's going on? Now everyone here who is 'that person in the office who knows about computers' has a lot of ideas to choose from, put forth by people in similar situations (or not, even) who have good ideas.
What, you think the Snood idea is original? Please...I agree that it's not really a good example for "Best Game on Linux" or what-have-you but don't think it's the Windows arcade games being cloned.

My dear British chap, did you just call AMERICAN humor bizarre? Wow. That sound you hear is my head exploding.
I'll be the last one to praise Bush for his....well, anything, really; and the last to agree with his post-election '04 statement about his "mandate"; but you've got to figure, statistically at least, that any president who serves two terms will get to appoint at least one Supreme Court justice.
Now comes the endless fun of watching him try to nominate someone....whoo-eee! I can't wait to see the gems he picks, and whether or not the Democrats will continue to have the balls to do anything about it.
(mod me what you will - and shouldn't this be in politics?)
That's just not true. When I moved, I used a free AOL CD just for dial-up, but I never used the email address. When I closed the acct a few months later, I only had 5 emails in the inbox.
Check out Mozilla Firefox and the "Hotmail Tabs" extension. It removes the frame from hotmail links and allows you to middle-click on messages to open them in new tabs, whereas now hotmail restricts you to one window.

Dude....you've just basically given a definition of "purer." More nanotubes, less junk. "Not diluted w/ other crud" == "purer". What is your point?
Whoever modded this guy informative doesn't know squat.

Reverse mullet? Is that bangs with a buzz cut, or what?
I think the answer to all of IE's problems is to give it MORE access to my PC.

If the subject of evolution (human or otherwise) interests you, check out Stephen Baxter's aptly-titled book, "Evolution."

Has no one here read the SF novel Sunstorm by Clarke & Baxter? You know, the sequel to Time's Eye.
If not, pick it up. The book's called Sunstorm, you figure it out.
This is not a troll.
This is +3, Funny.
Mods, please take note.
That this could be modded up to +5 Funny so quickly sickens me.
