There needs to be a similar command "/babyfood" because it's not like babies eat pizza and if you're the type who'll order pizza with an in-game command you're sure as hell not the type that properly feeds the kids.
She's got a pretty amazing background. She grew up in Montgomery, AL when MLK was getting his start and the civil rights movement was firing up. One of her childhood friend died in a bombing then and her father had to keep a shotgun to fend off people wanting to drag the family out into the woods, so she's a staunch supporter of the 2nd Amendment.
Her family was piss-poor and yet she ended up getting a PhD and running an Ivy League school (lookup what a provost does). Also, she's fluent in Russian which gets kudos in my book.
A friend of mine who swept her limo for bombs told me she was the nicest person around, but then if you ask anyone in the military or SS who worked for the Clintons before this administration you'll hear nothing to the contrary about a member of this one.
For what it's worth, the people in the White House paid to take bullets have been a lot happier in the last four years than they were in the preceding four. Dis their politics and take scary pictures, but they're nice people.
I really like vim. You sacrifice a shallow learning curve for some a really efficient UI.

Blender. As far as I can tell the UI uses the same philosophy as vim, but it's a 3D modelling program with several times as many features. Blender scares me.
If only we could produce hotties like Madeleine Albright, Condaleeza Rice, and Barbara Bush.
It's a pity most news programs don't show it but Dr. Rice has some amazing legs and her skirts are cut to the point of distraction. Also, she's smart, funny, and overly qualified.
Why should an investor be liable for a company? If I tell Bob that he can give me $500 and expect $600 at a later date why should he be liable if I use the $500 for the gun I shoot the bank teller with when I rob him?
If my father owns stock in Wal-Mart and they get caught running puppy-mills and pimping out cashiers should my father be arrested or just lose all the money he invested?
The liability is limited to the amount of money you want to invest in the company. The more money you invest the more responsible you will be held when the stock price bottoms out.
Corporations aren't mindless automatons, they're groups of people who've agreed through their charter to share financial responsibility. If a crime is being committed it's not by a corporation, it's by a subset of the people in the corporation.
The grandparent was referring to the fact that because of advances in armor deaths in war decrease while injuries increase (since more people are getting injured rather than killed).
What you are referring to is the fantastic notion that technological advances are first applied for peace and then later for war. Since the beginning of humanity technologies developed for war *still* find more practical uses than technologies developed for peace.
"It appears that the United States is striking back at OPEC in the Middle East. After what appeared to be a preemptive strike against terrorism, many dictators were removed from power. It doesn't actually mention OPEC, but its pretty well accepted that monopolizing oil wells is mostly done by OPEC."
As a Slashdot Libertarian I'll weigh in on this one...
But working for Bill Gates' company is not a natural human right, so what is objectionable about this? Just because he is wealthy (and he's a self-made man, remember), those 800 people suddenly have control over his finances?
800 people have jobs under the false pretenses that they're actually needed for more than leverage. The government isn't supposed to be dicking around with companies, IMHLibertarianO. This is an example of a company dicking around with a government to try and make it dick around with other companies. I think that makes Gates a dick twice over and someone's getting unfairly screwed.
Do you have a moral imperative to stop the auction and sell the item to the beggar at the cost he wants? If not, why does Gates?
The item has already been sold. Now the seller is trying to get the buyer to take it up rear from him or else he'll take back what he sold you. He didn't tell you he'd be making that ultimatum beforehand so now you're stuck between returning the item you're already using or taking it up the rear.
People do not have a right to be employed by Bill Gates, and if it will be such a disaster economically if he pulls out of an area you'd think the politicians would be bending over backwards to suit his demands -- seeing as how their livelihood is apparently utterly dependent on Mr. Gates' presence in their area of political control.
It's not going to destroy their economy to lose 800 jobs. It *is* going to be annoying to Denmark in specific. The option that Gates is offering is that instead all of the EU is going to share the nuisance. Overall, the politicians should be ignoring Gates, but Socialism does funny things to the relationship between companies and governments.
Don't knock Maroon 5. If you've ever looked at their hit CD from last year (2004) you'll notice that it was released in 2002. The record companies ran out of things to manufacture and pulled out stock that had been sitting around building its own following.
Wired News has published that Scientists have successfully modified the AIDS-causing HIV in such a way that it can attack metasticized melanoma (cancer cells).
So "scientists" is capitalized now?
I guess that's fair, but not everyone believes in science so it might upset some people.
Your realize that it is verging on trivial to pull playable files from a DVD?
Moreover those files are of much higher quality.
Yes and no. DVD ripping is insanely easy, but the shows I download come in high-definition. DVDs can't compete with the quality so why should I buy them?
Which is to say that N. Korea will just fizzle out all on its own. It also wouldn't be a huge influence on surrounding countries if it were "liberated" which was apparently the idea behind Iraq.
If anyone invaded North Korea it would cost a hefty load of money, get hundreds of thousands of South Koreans shot, and tick off China. When it was over you wouldn't be able to strike trade deals with the country because its economy would be devastated and it doesn't sound like it has vast resources to borrow against. It'd be a money pit even more so than it is now because we'd no longer be looking down on a dictatorship. Anyone who invaded would be held responsible for the outcome of the country by the world at large ("See what you've done? You clean it up, it's your mess.") and even though it would improve life for the population of N. Korea the invaders wouldn't get any credit.
And then you'd have China to deal with. They'd no longer have their little Korean bitch to point at and say "See? That's socialism gone bad, but we're not like that. Life is so much better for our people here." They're right for now, but with NK gone they'll tire of living in a fish-bowl. Perhaps they'll turn around and "liberate" other countries to bring communism to the people much like the U.S. has been doing for the mixed bag we call "democracy".
I mentioned this about myself to the people at my university's entrepreneurial center. We decided the best thing for me to do was find a good business partner.
Keep in mind that Bill Gates didn't start the company by writing an OS, he did it by buying one. He changed the way everything thinks about software and making IP the most important part of doing business. It's not about better software, it's about better technology. It's about using the tools you and only you are privy to to edge out other people.
I've never heard of any program that was actually written by Gates. Whatever he knows about programming is marginal compared to what he knows about protecting the implementation. If releasing any information about how MS processes data or how its IP works is required in order to publish a truly open standard then there's no way they would ever do it without fighting tooth and nail.
New technologies may be exciting and the ideas behind them may be easily understood, but they're considered property by many people and any action that abridges that property right will be frowned upon. Bill Gates seems to think he's John Galt, but none of Ayn Rand's supermen were as prone to error as Microsoft has been. He lost his chance at immortality when his company started using clout instead of new ideas to beat out the competition.

He also says that framework "shouldn't imply a link between open source and open standards".
Yes, it shouldn't. Open source does imply open standards, but who's fault is it that open standards implies open source? It's not just a saying.

Shouldn't this article be posted in politics instead of science?
What would happen if such transgenic plants filled with dangerous chemicals start to crossbreed with natural ones?
As if that happening would cause problems. The plants are genetically disposed toward absorbing the substance, not producing it.
It's not like I can feed my girlfriend a diet high in gold and expect our kids to take glittery craps.
OPEC, right? A full retranslation:
"It appears that the United States is striking back at OPEC in the Middle East . After what appeared to be a preemptive strike against terrorism, many dictators were removed from power. It doesn't actually mention OPEC, but its pretty well accepted that monopolizing oil wells is mostly done by OPEC."

I feel a little tainted by asking, but...
Could there be a tax deduction involved?
A little hardware hacking and Python scripting can get you a device that would automatically disperse a yummy fish at specified intervals.
Throw in a little Slashdotting and the fish is cooked to perfection!

Somewhere in IBM's headquarters there is a camel. A straw has just been placed on its back.
Perhaps people should start using the Coral to coralized things like what I think you're talking about.
The gif truly is amazing. I found it in someone's sig last week and was blown away.

...of Dasher fame? He hasn't done anything else? That's his qualification? Some people take Democracy too far.
I'll admit Dasher is kinda cool but its really not all that complex. It'd be like MS putting the guy who thought up MouseKeys in charge of Windows.
