... if the couple does not share the same values, then the couple should not be marrying in the first place. How convenient... for happily married people.
Regarding the dietary restrictions:
a) the prohibition against pork-eating has roots in biology. I'll leave the fact-finding exercise up to the reader.
b) other religions have dietary restrictions. Again, the fact-finding exercise is left to the reader.
I'm curious about your definition of elitism. Could you elaborate?
Whether my grandmother (God rest her soul) would use Linux is not the point. The point is would she be *allowed* to use Linux.

To me, it's not so much that GUIs are lame, it's that a whole generation of (loosely-termed) "administrators" have no idea that anything can be done without a GUI. They're imbued with complete trust of the GUI - and a near-distrust of CLI. And it's not just administrators, either. The visually-oriented IDEs have spawned the same type of children. I'm not tossing out all IDEs, nor am I suggesting they go away. But to me, it looks just like when my kids want a calculator to do simple arithmetic. If you know how to code, you don't absolutely have to have an editor that prompts you for each argument to a method.
That right click menu comes in handy, I can move entire directories across multiple networked drives in seconds with 3 clicks.
As an administrator, I always liked to have a record of the files/directories I moved/copied "across multiple networked drives in seconds". I guess I must haved missed the "Copy and Log" option in the context menu. I suppose I totally wasted the half-hour or so I spent coming up with a script to copy and log for me.
I wonder, though, what happens when you have file name collisions and have to click to confirm that you REALLY DO! want to do what you did. Or what modifier keys you push to only overwrite older files or continue on errors.
I just supplied arguments to old-fashioned script. Silly me.
Section 109 says "The term 'interactive digital device' means any machine, device, product, software, or technology, whether or not included with or as part of some other machine, device, product, software, or technology, that is designed, marketed or used for the primary purpose of, and that is capable of, storing, retrieving, processing, performing, transmitting, receiving, or copying information in digital form."
Since I believe the human body is wonderful example of technology, I'm wondering if Section 101(a) means that I have to use my Microsoft IntelliFinger(tm) to interactively and digitally salute Mr. Hollings and Mr. Stevens.
Funny. The scary thing is, I know way too many NT sysadmins who can't fathom administering a box without a p&c interface, MCSEs who have no idea what can be done via scripting, who know nothing of what's available in the resource kits.
Let's just get this straight.
Java != Javascript.
Rollovers, menus, etc on web pages are Javascript. Applets and server-side code are Java.
I feel better now.
The point is not whether it is hard to download a JVM. The point is that Java support won't be available without an extra step. This means that MS-sponsored technologies will be the default.
The article quotes someone who points out that if businesses want broad visiblity to their web sites, they might want to think about dropping Java in favor of.NET. That's the real impact here.
Think about what's happening to Real Networks, Kodak, and others who are seeing MS put their own technologies as "integral" parts of Windows to replace the products these companies are selling.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"
Where in that statement can you find anything that even remotely suggests that choosing a church/synagogue/mosque/temple violates a law?
Will you be contaminated? Do you have such a weak sense of self and are so unsure of your own thoughts that asking you to enter a place of worship somehow compels you to adopt the tenets of the religion that established the structure? I suppose if you had to vote in a daycare facility you'd find it necessary to run out and procreate immediately.
... if you trust the politicians, courts and lawyers to sort it out in your favor. Check out footnote 3: 'The interpretation of "intent" should be left to domestic laws, but it should not, where possible, exclude "dolus eventualis".'
I admit I understand these terms much more poorly than some of the many lawyers who lurk in/., but I believe they are trying to say that intent would have to have an element of recklessness in its defintion.
In my book, one man's recklessness can be another's calculated risk. Seems to leave room for some very open-ended, inconsistent interpretations, and I thought the idea behind the treaty was to have some consistent enforcement and penalties to address cybercrime.
Several comments from industry indicated that the so-called "cracking-devices", to which Article 6 applies, may also be used legitimately to test system security. The explanatory report shall clarify that the conduct defined by Article 6, when undertaken with such legitimate purposes, would be considered to be "with right". Furthermore, the burden of proof of the unlawfulness of conduct under Article 6 would lie with the prosecution. In this context, reference should be made to the footnote under Article 2 concerning the meaning of "without right".
Given that the parties (ie, signer-states) would be required to implement (and implement and enforce are two different activities) laws to support the mandates in this treaty, it seems to me that a lot of the reaction here would be addressed by the definition of "without right".
Only two papers, Jon? Name 'em. I swear I've seen two myself, and I don't read that many newspapers.
If I remember correctly, both major newspapers in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area publish the writer's email address. I know their web sites show the writer's address.

Did you think before you posted?
So ... anyone who advocates avenging the deaths of innocents is a sociopath? Or do you just reserve that label for physicians?
Funny? Or Flamebait? You decide...
I have one very basic question: WHAT WOULD MAKE YOU ASSUME A WEB DEVELOPER HAS CONTROL OVER WHAT BROWSER HIS/HER USER BASE IS USING??!
Think about that before you go off on another pedantic rant.
Um ... asserting that "big winners in capitalism have always depended on external factors such as royal charters ..." is insightful ?

Those "smart quotes" look pretty dumb, don't they.
War crimes? I don't recall seeing Bush & Co on trial at the Hague. Please explain...
Silly question here. Just how will these sites know that lack of traffic is due to their use of javascript?

Don't read /. much, eh? OF COURSE WE'RE SMARTER!
You are one more reason why /. needs to solve the Moron Problem.
