There, I said it. Seriously Taco, what gives? Some of us don't care whether the Democrat half of the amorphous blob that is our Republican-Democratic ruling party takes on a vagina or the color brown.
But have things changed so much that it's common place for high-school kids to do this? I considered it an extremely weird coincidence at the time. Me, I met all of my closest (real life) friends online.
How old is DOS now? If Vista was 100% compatible with all DOS applications all the way back 20 years ago, you would be banging on it for holding on to an insecure, legacy architecture! If you don't have a defense, imagine a different charge, huh?
I liked to insist on that too, but I finally gave up. Technically, if not logically, "its" has no apostrophe (mercifully, people rarely need to use "it" in the plural form).
While it's not a "bionic" replacement (the donor ligament is still tissue harvested from elsewhere in the patient's body) there are still ethical [shouldn't that be "fairness"?]
questions to be asked whether or not a healthy player should be permitted to undergo the surgery simply to improve his performance. If they don't allow steroid use, why the hell would they allow that? Personally, I'm close to saying I don't care about steroid use, but as it would effectively make their use a stone-hard requirement, and there are health implications (physical and mental), I suppose the ban is necessary. Still, I have a hard time understanding why people are so furious at Bary Bonds.
They're using the Windows monopoly to promote IE by bundling IE with Windows. The monopoly is Windows, they're trying to corner the browser market by using their OS monopoly. The crazy (yet sadly predictable) thing is, they're been convicted in court of doing just that. Yet they get to continue as if nothing happened.
Wanna know my theory? (hint: the answer is "yes") The government, despite it being a "Democracy", servers only the corporations, or the bourgeoisie if you will (the truth of that statement will hereafter be assumed). Is Mozilla a corporation in any meaningful sense? Primarily, it's the project of a bunch of hippies working on a pseudo-socialist application for the good of humankind. Mozilla is not something the government serves, but Microsoft is. Opera is too small to count. Netscape was once a somewhat powerful corporation (given its position). That is the time when the government wished to pursue anti-trust violations and whatever.
firefox is used in europe because of the iraq war. by waging this war in iraq, america has lost a lot of goodwill, and a lot of people in europe have been trying to avoid supporting american companies. So you're saying that IE is seen as an "American" browser? I actually think there may be some truth to that (but there's a rivalry between the US and Europe that extends deeper than the Iraq issue). But I don't think that's a good (big) enough explanation; there has to be more to it.
Yes, people may have shown they go out of their way to download a different browser, but if the market is still severely skewed (IMO it is) because of a monopoly abuse, there is a case for a remedy. I don't really know anything about Opera's case, but isn't the more important monopoly to point out, that they have a monopoly on Windows? (werent they supposed to break up?!:-P)
Most real foreign policy initiatives are pushed by the executive, and the legislature has a reactive "approve or deny" role I assume by "approve or deny" you really meant "approve or criticize viciously and then approve".
If a rock would burn up on reentry, why not a hunk of metal? What do the effects of our reentering Iraq in 2004 have to do with a satellite falling from orbit?
Actually Vista is selling like hotcakes. Dell is buying lots of copies, Gateway is buying lots of copies, Sony is buying lots of copies, OEMs are buying lots of copies. Ah, but the sale of XP to Dell, Gateway and Sony has decreased by the same amount. Bundling Vista instead of XP with new PCs helps adoption rate, but it doesn't mean anything financially.
If you want to keep something "private," DO NOT PUT IT ON THE INTERNET. Really? THIS is your response? This is the angle you're taking? When did Slashdot fall in with the Luddite crowd?
(Note: the Luddites did indeed have many good reasons for opposing the industrial revolution, so don't just say "well, its true!")
Unfortunately, I missed my chance to patent patent trolling and further patenting the patenting of patent trolling. Etc. You're in luck. No one's had the foresight to patent that yet. Granted, you're probably not the inventor of it, but there's no reason that should stop you from filing with the patent office.
If you cloned yourself, you wouldn't be able to kill yourself because you would both be exactly matched. But I'm killing MYSELF, not my clone.
And anyway, if me and my clone get in a Battle to the Death, just because we're evenly matched doesn't mean there won't be a winner. From the instance I wake up from my cloning-from apparatus right HERE, and my clone wakes up from his cloning-to apparatus over THERE, we're two different people.
"Perfectly symmetrical violence" may, in the words of Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth, "never solve anything", but so long as two different beings begin in two different places, nothing is symmetrical.
(P.S. The clone machine -> kill machine assembly line was definitely a good I&H.)

I don't think anyone said anything about being gay, actually.

The late Valerie Solanas would have been thrilled to hear this news.

Sorry if I sound paranoid.

But you can't access the actual research without subscribing to the site (which costs $$). Maybe someone has access and will share?

You want people to stop making it clear that they're not a lawyer when talking about lawstuff?
Side note: IANAL always makes me think of iAnal. I'm not sure what it would be, but I bet it'd be awesome.
