(blabla this little sentence added to get pass the/. CAPS filter even if it ruins my joke, but it seems that one sentence is not enough i wonder how much time got spent writing the regex that checks for too many caps in message)

I'm not so sure you are breaking the law. Your hate is directed against religions, not individuals. I think you cross the line when you get personal, that is, you advocate hate and / or violence and against persons having religious beliefs. That's why it's called "human rights", right? You can blast any organization as a whole, as long as you dont point to people who are part of it.
That said, I dont hate religions. I just wish they would get bored waiting for god to show up and trying to control the world meanwhile, and leave us all to play nicer games.

It's United States of America, people! That makes us Americans.
Start by giving your country a REAL NAME instead of an acronym and then we'll stop calling you USians. The name "America" reprensents MUCH more than the "country with no name of its own that stands between Mexico and Canada". If you have to go back to your #$%^& constitution drawing board to refactor it, then so be it. NMFP, USian.
If you want to be called a Yankee, why not go with "Wankistan"? Oops! I meant... "Yankiguay"! Then you'd have a small reason to stir shit up in south america, being a virtual neighbor of Paraguay and Uruguay.

Depends on who's inside that sphere, I guess.
Or it could be Service Of Anihilation, where you can call for a nuclear air strike through SOAP.
Or Sphere Oriented Architecture, which makes it real hard to fit your regular right-angled furniture.
Harper does not need to be compared to anybody else. He stands on his own as self-absorbed politicians go. He's already on his way out too, whatever happens from here. History will remember him as "that guy from the west who wanted to give lesssons on stuff nobody needed to learn, and only ended waking up the canadian left and quebec separatists".
Growing attached to an extension seems to be a rather uncomfortable way of developing. Have you tried pulling the cord, to see what happens?
Unless, it's the extension that's attached to you! in which case, I would procede with extreme caution, as some these extensions grow and deflate in some unpredictable ways, if mine is to be trusted.
Isn't Epiphany using Gecko, Mozilla's HTML rendering engine?
It may be true that Firefox has kind of lost its way over the years, but you cannot deny it's popular success. And the mere fact that you mention that we should fork it, is testament to their open-sourceness, which is all it was all about in the beginning : have a browser that's better than IE, and that we can claim ours. In that respect, I think Mozilla is a resounding touchdown for the open source movement, and although technically inferior to to Webkit (Chrome, Safari), it still is the less corporate-agenda-encumbered of all browsers.
Hell, I bought a _USED_ SGI Indy for less than 500$ _NINE_YEARS_AGO_ and this thing already had full 64 bit CPU (R4400) and OS (Irix 6.2, IIRC).
I still dont understand why every software developper and company seems startled by 64 bits technology. It's been a long time coming, really. Any architect with half a brain would have made sure that the code ports over nicely. I mean, it's not that hard, and doesn't cost that much.
You miss the real reason why it's all so much less complicated on.NET : There's only one platform to target, and that platform is Microsoft. You don't have to care about other platforms, because you _can't_ care about other platforms. Oh well, yeah, you can insert a Mono reference here, but as soon as you try to use it (I haven't, but I'm sure it works ok), you'll realize that you now face the same kind of complications that other cross platform languages face. I'm not saying.Net is bad or anything, just that the kind of peace of mind it provides has a price.
But still not open-source. So if you need it on PPC Linux, or FreeBSD, you are still SOL. Give us the source guys, and we'll maintain it for you. Or if you absolutely cant do that, publish a spec that somebody can use to write compatible player.
The new machines have been expected for months and the Tuesday Oct 14 release date has been widely forecast for over a month.
I wasn't considering buying a Mac until 15 minutes before I bought it. And even if I had done my research, as I should have, I wouldn't have found the info because I dont hang around Mac websites or people, as I dont buy into the Mac-as-a-religion thing. What I was saying is, obsolence happens in a much more drastic way when there is only one supplier, and that supplier happens to thrive on fashion and hype to sell their stuff. With an ecosystem of suppliers like on the PC side, change is more constant, and deprecation occurs gradually.
How long should Apple hold off releasing new systems after you buy your computer?
At least until my girlfriend stops arguing with me about how I shouldn't have bought it. There's only so much trouble a man can handle...
I think the 802.11n standard is a matter of details now. All current wireless chipsets are technically capable of it, but may not implement it identically. Once the standard gets formalized, a firmware update should be enough to give you full compatibilty with other n-compliant devices. So it's more like "n-capable" in a "Vista-capable" way than really n-compliant. I guess the marketing guys got tired of waiting for the standard...
You have to clarify an ad when you get upset by it and don't know why. Most of the time, this is because you're not part of the target demographic. This is the case here, with a general-public/family oriented/techno-unsavvy ad vs. Slashdot readerbase. I think GP's ad deconstruction is quite acccurate in this regard, and helps explain where MS might be going next.
DirectCanada.com also has some pretty good prices and service. I've dealt with boh NCIX and DirectCanada and always have a look at both places before ordering. NCIX's website is better organized though.
Really, I still don't see why I'd have to switch from FF3 to this new browser, free or not. I mean, once you get rid of IE's security hole and MS lock-in web technology, a browser's a browser, right?
I understand that Google want to have their own, but the established base of Firefox, with its plugins and extensions beats all for now, from a desktop user perspective.
I know a good game, one that really motivates me to work more. It's called "Show Me The Money".
I thought they would speak about the need for good 3D cards in office boxen for lunch-time BF1942 smash-up between coworkers. This is boring. Corporate games as they describe it, are for suckers.

No only are Macs 500$ more expensive than comparable PCs, but you're also at the mercy of the manufacturer when it comes to resale value.
Thanks for nothing, Apple.
