Yes, and the "problems with the term" are not relevant to this discussion. The Judeo-Christian/Abrahamic link is that Creationism (and therefore ID) refers to the Abrahamic God as creator.
"Well, for one thing, Macintosh is not a generic term."
How the hell are macintosh-variety apples any less generic than the windows we place in houses, cars, etc?
Perhaps I'm confused, but I don't see how one object that's been around for centuries would be any different than the other object that's been around for centuries.
"I hope that when Bush leaves office (hopefully by impeachment), MS will be hit with an abuse-of-monopoly charge and resultant damages that they will never fully recover. I want to see the 300 lb gorilla chained and bound, then whittled down to size. That, I feel, would be justice."
You're mad if you believe that the Democrats are any more interested justice at this point. (Registered Dem, just disgusted with the current state of affairs.)
Completely agreed. I know most of slashdot sympathized with him due to their hatred of Microsoft, but soundalike websites don't deserve any respect from me, regardless of who they target.
"Table cloth right? Microsoft is the table cloth. Everything is influenced by technology. So the brand team has to come up, and understand and integrate the technology. As an industrial designer, I'm only as good as the technology we use. It's kind of the common language that connects everyone."
While branding is certainly important, the Japanese do seem to place a design importance on space and organization of their a/v equipment, convenience is certainly a factor there.
The court did award a settlement, as policy was to set their coffee far about safe levels, and had ignored previous court rulings that required that McDonalds have a safer product.
"So in the end this is simply about people being able to say what they want, where they want, when they want. It is freedom of speech. No matter how much you want to believe otherwise because it makes you feel better about yourself and your relationship with the world."
And you can certainly thank Bono's Church of Scientology for that Act.

"# Amount and substantiality
Google is copying 100% of the books. It's fairly well established that it's not legal to copy an entire book in your library's copier, that it's only legal to copy some subset of the pages."
They are not copying 100% of the books.
"For library books still under copyright, you'll only be able to see a few sentences. Books that are from publishers will allow you to view a limited number of pages. In general, Google Print is designed to help you discover books, not read them from start to finish. It's like going to a bookstore and browsing - only with a Google twist."
Even if separate people worked to piece the book together, it would still be incomplete. Google specifically does not make all pages available online for that purpose.
Ah, I see that you are correct. Newer memory sticks include magicgate support to better compete with SD memory. I haven't been in the market for those sticks in a while.
They make very nice cameras, so I don't have any issues in using their media cards. It'd be nice if they were more universal and therefor cheaper, but anyone who believes that they're OMGSOHORRIBLE doesn't have a need for them.
"WOW trusts the client too much (a tradeoff made to reduce server costs), but that's not a necessary part of the design.
For smaller scale evidence that this is possible, check out my game (java 5 required) in my sig (or journal if you disable sigs). Cheating to get high scores is impossible. A program could be designed that would help you, but that's an expected and encouraged portion of the game design."
The main issue here *is* the massive scale, players will appreciate the improved performance (and less outages) more than they will ever possibly concern themselves with this non-issue.
"the point is, your computer is your computer, it doesn't belong to blizzard."
If you want to ensure the (relative) trustworthiness of others and consistancy of gameplay, you're going to have to start lending control temporarily for your gametime. I wouldn't say that it should be by any means necessary, but this particular implementation doesn't bother me very much.

"BTW, am I the only one thinking that Halloween is getting overdone to the point where the fun has been driven out of it?"
Moreso than most other holidays, Halloween is what you make of it.
"the owner of the computer is probably within their rights to install this on their own property."
And they can be free to add it to their "ignore" list. Any keylogging and SPYING applications should show up on a virus/malware scan.
They bought a new ipod, and smashed an old (probably non-working) one. I can't believe anyone gave those cyberbeggars any money.
Both spellings of the Gaelic prefix *are* == :)
Originated in Ontario, and they account for more than 50% of the Canadian apple crop according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McIntosh .

They use that term for a reason, regardless of what you wish to believe.

No, but this quite blatantly the responsibility of the developer, so this thread has much less sympathy for the "little guy".

Yes, the Soviets have always been well known for their freedoms.
RealDoll should purchase a stake in that company :)

Exactly. Political speech is still speech.

After a certain point, it's not the money as much as the drive for success, the easiest metric of that being money, fame a close second.
