If something similar to an ad blocker filtered out criticism of the current government of (insert your country here) would that be ok?
Sure, as long as you had control of it. I am allowed to censor what I see (and I should be the only one who is allowed). In fact I do this every day by refusing to watch/read news that does not intrest me.
I was searching online to see if IE7 will have decent CSS support. I found a post saying it would, when it is released in a few months. The post was from early 2002.
As Opera and Firefox would say.. "You are the weakest link, goodbye."
I actually prefered Babylon 5 wars. Though the system was rather complex and it took forever for a sizable battle to take place. Sadly, the company that produced both games has gone out of buisness.
I have to concur, Pureto Rico and Settlers of Catan are probally the best two games my group of friends have been playing recently.
I enjoy both becuase although the rules are rather simple, the interatcions to actually win are quite complex. And they are both very balanced, so there are many strageties that can win.
I would say that Puerto Rico is the more balanced of the two; however Settlers relies on some social engineering skills as there is alot of player to player trading nessesary to win.
Another major feature of these two games (and many others) is they are not your standard military conquest game, so they can appeal to a wider audience. (Even people who generally dont like stragety games can get into Puerto Rico, though Catan has a slightly higher learning curve)
Well, I can see how indexing blogs can be a problem, as there is alot of disinformation out there. Though google's more humorous indexing problem is in their news. They have a habit of putting journals with an extreme slant in the top rankings on news articles.
Im not sure what the solution is (or if there needs to be one) but there can be problems. I prefer sites that have full disclosure of their bias. (Off hand I dont think any exist, however)
Yes, but on the average, many people that live in high-population density areas are not living in ghetto slums. The really packed in ones bring the average up for a region. For instance, I qualify as living in a metropolitan area as does likley everyone in Allegheny county, by their definition. I can see downtown Pittsburgh from my house (at least the tops of the big buildings) and I can see a 20 acre forest as well. As you can guess I don't feel too crowded.
The key here is perception, most people in the US live in an area that seems pretty decent, pollution wise, regardless of the reality. There are plenty of forests here, but Pittsburgh still has the (well deserved) reputation of the Steel City. Sure I never see smog, but I dont think the water is terribly clean either.
You are absloutley correct. Also, from the PeopleSoft perspective, the people in control of the merger were thinking that their new Oracle stock would be worth much more then PeopleSoft stock. While their executives that were not staying with the merged company would be getting nice severance packages.
And I am telling you that a team of competent programmers can replicate every single feature in those products in the same amount of time/money, regardless if they look at the source code for them. Its up to the customer to decide if its worth it to buy the features, or the competitors software.
Actually, I dont see how you can be an Open Source Email service. Certianlly you run a very professional app on all Open Source technology, which is commendable. But to be a truly Open Source service, the webapp that your site runs would also need to be Open Source.
I'm not suggesting it should be, as there would be no real way of making money off the endeavor aside from junking it up with adds as all the free services do. In fact I am considering a service such as yours, as the pay services of hotmail and others do not sound applealing
Shouldn't this be under "Developers" not IT. Believe it or not, more then just it people use these two languages. Well, im not sure about C#, but I am certian about java.
Actually... And I know people will be getting tired of me bringing this up every time there is a discussion of MMO's... it sounds like most of the more popular NWN servers. Basically they gain popularity by the DM's interacting with players and accepting player input. Custom player housing has been popular latley, rewared to long time players who have given alot back to the community.My favorite server Lands of Lore has a great community based development where players have designed many of the areas in the land.

Or, for the slashdot crowd, it is easier to remember that is rhymes with "House of Mogh"

Actually I think it was a cleric. They must have casted Implosion.

Just a note: you cannot claim to be slashdotted if you just post a (indirect) suggestion to go to the page in a comment.
OH how did I know this... I umm... *runs*

Actually, the post ID is 8 digits long, so aparently the guy just couldnt count. Besides, the OP was probally just jealous of your uid.

At first I thought you mispelled "greenbacks"
I am much more then just a code monkey.

What about this guy? Mr. HRM Caesar St Augustine De Buonaparte
I cant make this stuff up.
Hmm typical MS blinders. As they have forgotten that there is already a project with this name.Apache Avalon is a API/Framework for java.
Easy, because even after all these years people still dont understand sarcasm.
The odd thing is I read (or had read to) all of those books when I was in public grade school.
Oh who am I kidding, there are already a bunch of them by now...
