Most Americans don't understand the First Amendment. What percent of Americans know that the First Amendment guarantees religious freedom? What percent know that religious freedom is the first freedom mentioned in the First Amendment? Lots of people seem to think it's only about speech for some reason.
It's not just Smart Folders in the Finder. Imagine shell scripting with Smart Folders. Or imagine a Dashboard gadget that provides easy access to your 10 most recent Word documents (or some other useful lookup). And accessing this technology in Cocoa will make the Finder stuff look like child's play.
Someone else made this claim also, but he was anonymous, so I'll respond to you.
Just yesterday, they ran an op/ed by John Kerry himself. It is entitled, "My Economic Policy: A new CEO in Washington would be good for American business." Right-wing propaganda?
On September 12, they ran an op/ed by Democratic Senator Joe Biden, entitled, "A Democratic Foreign Policy: President Kerry won't thumb his nose at the rest of the world."
Now, I've already said that I'm conservative, and I said that the WSJ is right-of-center. I recommended the WSJ's opinion pages because I think they're interesting. I think I've clearly demonstrated that my designation of "right-of-center" was accurate.
Have you actually read this site you're calling propaganda?
Bush's position on health care is hardly capitalistic; it's protectionist. One of the reasons drugs cost so much is because people can't import them from foreign countries such as Canada.
I oppose many of his protectionist policies. I was outraged by the steel tariffs. The regime of agricultural support is stupid. However, I must side with him on drugs. The US has less than 5% of the world's population, but creates the vast majority of the world's drugs. Other countries then put price controls on them. This is unfair, but of course we don't do anything about it. If Americans start buying price-controlled drugs overseas and importing them, the bottom will fall out of drug research. It is true that drugs would cost less in the US if we could import them. But future development of drugs would suffer. A much better solution to the problem would be for foreign countries not to interfere in the market for drugs. However, we can't (or rather won't) make them.
A good starting point, in my opinion, is to read the opinion mags. The New Republic is a leading left-of-center opinion magazine. National Review is indispensible for those of us on the right. The Wall Street Journal provides the most insightful coverage of the major papers that I have seen, although they are obviously pro-capitalism and are therefore accused of being right-of-center. They require a subscription to read online, but I enjoy reading their editorial pages, which are free, and love their Best of the Web Today feature.
Obviously, I'm right-of-center politically, and what I find insightful, you may find unconvincing.
Not even close. I'm an American (actually I have dual-citizenship, but that's neither here nor there) and I think that many non-Americans are very poorly informed about the issues involved in this election. I read the foreign papers (I speak French and Portuguese), and the analyses I have found therein are extremely cursory and often irrelevant. I had a discussion on Iraq with my cousin who is not an American and he spouted off this nonsense about war for oil. My brother is currently living in France and is inundated with idiots who think Bush is Hitler (and who apparently have no understanding of their own history).
Whatever side you come down on in this election, Americans believe that this is an extremely important one. And not just for foreign policy reasons. The country is making a choice between a candidate with strong socialist leanings (wanting to nationalize healthcare) and one with more capitalist ones (Medicare expansion notwithstanding). Quite frankly, the American issues you care about are only a small fraction of the ones I care about. Taxes, school vouchers, Social Security reform, healthcare, tort reform, and judicial appointments matter to me. There is no way that these issues matter to you in the same way.
If non-US citizens could vote, they would select the candidate that emasculates American military and cultural influence the most in order to shift the worldwide balance of power in their favor. Based on America's interests both domestically and abroad, I am confident that Americans will not vote in the same way.
I own a dishwashing robot. Odds are, so do you. Mine is highly specialized and does nothing but wash dishes. I put in the dishes, add soap, close it, and turn it on, and it adds water, washes the dishes, rinses them, and dries them. I still have to put the dishes away, but that's not so bad.
It's not humanoid, and it only does one thing, of course, but robots are here.

It would be nice if the submitter or "editors" had linked to the printer-friendly 1 page version.
Finally, motivation to edit the browser:blink_allowed setting in about:config. I had been meaning to do this for some time. Thanks, Gambas!
Scrappleface is running a story as well.
Did either of you serve in Vietnam?

Good one -- Indochine. I may use that.
Yes, push polls are bad, and the SC ones were really bad. Both sides do it, though. Democratic ones in black districts are also particularly bad.

I believe the exact charge is that he's a haughty, French-looking Massachusetts Democrat who, by the way, served in Vietnam.
God bless James Taranto.
Yes, but does he know the questions?
What is no.
Have you really thought that out? Scalia makes a pretty powerful case, IMO, that money is sometimes speech. Perhaps you should read his dissent.
If you're using NetNewsWire on OS X, try the Atom Beta, which, I'm sure it will come as no shock to you, adds support for Atom feeds.
Why would I think you are a request? Of course you're not!
I'm in the Netherlands, I've had to fix Macs for a living alongside "normal" pc's.
I haven't seen a lot Macs, even though that the store that I worked for was one of the biggest Mac-retailers in the NL.
Could it be because Macs don't break as often?
Nope.

I think it's just taking them a while.
Considering I just three hours ago wrote a two page essay on it for an A-Level... :)
Is "A-Level" some sort of metric school?
I'd like to see them use Objective-C. I think it would be a relatively painless switch.
You forgot to close your IMHO tag!!!
It's not like everyone wants read the rest of the thread in your humble opinion. Geez.

By my count, 2 is less than 5, so the article is correct.
What you say may be true, but how many people do you know really advocate open sores?
I think GNU usually refers to the userspace (but still fairly low level) tools, like ls, cd, pwd, top, etc.
