It all depends on what you consider to be the center. If you're a leftist who sees the US as the champion of the right, they all seem far right. Maybe if you were a fascist you'd say FOX News is a little too liberal.

Regardless of the quality of the product, if they think they can make money, they will try.
Isn't caring more about what they thought would make them more money than making great content what killed the show in the first place? Anybody who says capitalism and art are friends is insane. Obvious example: RIAA.

What makes all of that bunk is that the creaters WANTED to continue the show. They had a whole bunch of ongoing storyline unfinished. Every one of them complained. The episodes were only getting better and better. Watch the last half of the last season. It's approaching high art.
Theoretically the registrars doleing out.com,.net etc domains could be contractually forced to ensure that no content "harmful to minors" appears on any website using one of these domains.
Patriotic American who fears that the international community (okay, Europe) wants to take away control of our Internet? Don't let this law pass.
You're right. It's not so much that it makes sense to programmers, but that programming tends to help one go "oh yea... the official rules of English don't make any fucking sense, do they?" Smart people want to express themselves better, dumb people who want to make themseves feel smart want to have correct grammar.
"Across the board, among those who are both successful and struggling, the artists and musicians we surveyed are more likely to say that the internet has made it possible for them to make more money from their art than they are to say it has made it harder to protect their work from piracy or unlawful use."
That may be true, but I know someone who works for the local musician's union and though he supports P2P, the union sure as hell doesn't.
Yes, my ears are spoiled by high quality ogg and who rips in that but me?
I know I'm just being immature, but you're a p0s3r audiophile. On decent headphones, certain songs (hard rock, for instance) just sound lousy in anything but lossless.
Each announcement of gameplay tweaking and balancing, however mundane to an outsider (new spells for Black Mages! White Mages to be able to heal all ailments in one go! Warriors can now throw axes! Mog Lockers will be able to hold 140 items!) brings with it jeers or cheers from those players in the audience that will see their character's social stock increase or decrease as a result.
Why do we want to listen to a non-gamer talk about FFXI? All you WoW players know you would be just as excited.
Easy. If 100 people rub orange peels on their skin and they all get skin cancer, you can guess that orange peels are carcinagenic (sp?). You don't have to know HOW.
You could try asking yourself what the point of the list is before you dismiss it. Muslims, as a group, are demonized. So they list contributions by Muslims as a group. It's not rocket science (no pun intended).
They didn't let it be overshadowed, people like Bush and the Western media decided to let the Evils of Islam - like suicide bombers - overshadow everything to justify controlling the region - by methods like blowing them up.
I'm not sure....would maybe Firefox have more overall users? Seems that it's on 80-90% of Linux boxes, plus an ever growing number of Windows machines and other OS's as well.
I noticed that too. A better phrase would be that Linux is "the program most responsible for popularizing the GPL."
Forgive me for being the atheist I am, but noting that the Bible calls for stoning your misbehaving brats isn't an example of looking for an excuse, if you're a Christian. On the contrary, a Christian ignoring that part is in a state of denial.
Do note that I'm not nearly as anti-religious as I sound. Any claim that Islam is a terrorist religion is pure, vile racism. I just felt like letting that out.
And besides, "stealing" does not fit on your phrase above. It's impossible to steal software/movies/music. "Stealing" means "subtracting something from others"
I completely agree, but that's not an argument that'll be convincing to most people. A better argument would be: How can it be stealing when you fucking paid for the software?
Slashdot Mirror
I recall him and a number of other early microscopists being convinced that they could see a little tiny human embryo in the head
To satisfy my own curiosity, do you have any links about this?

Jesus... What kinds of idiots rated this flamebait?
The stalinist that was deposed by the Shan was not democratic.
Other than slandering him as "Stalinist," what are you basing that on?

Shockingly, nothing useful is found.
And if that means they elementary schools will have an easy time blocking access I guarantee they won't shed a tear.

For some reason as I was reading i imagined User had an australian accent.
Huh? Is there a difference between that and a British accent?

I'm pretty sure that at least a few are.

You're right, context is everything. That's a favorite saying of mine. The problem is, the context of Christians today is today.
