I always get the feeling that no-one uses metadata systems such as the iTunes star rating because really, there's not much advantage to spending the time to do it.
But look at the assignment of Track/Album titles, most people that I know who use iTunes use it constantly, even filling in the details when they're not online or if the CD they've just ripped is unknown.
Its being run by Newsforge. Looks like OSDN needs more cross website promotions to get their ad hit rate up. Just like that influx of articles that were subtle adverts for thinkgeek crap a few weeks ago
"as long as there aren't too many people with you."
Always wondered how many is too many. Like I've had 20 or 25 people squashed into my living room watching videos we've rented/bought/whatever.
Is that too many? Does it take into account the comfort in which you watched said film? 25 people in a living room isn't very comfortable, even if it is possible:)

Its very rusty. The article is in Danish for a start.

"Irony, as I understand it, is deliberatly saying the opposite of what you mean"
No, thats sarcasm.
What this south park episode displayed seems to be satire.
What would have been ironic is that if instead of wiping out the South Park the native americans had wiped themselves out.
"Science simply does not know what came before the big bang, and they will tell you that."
I will openly state that I have no idea where God came from, and that it is probably something that I can not understand.
However, I do remember my cosmology lecturer explaining where the big bang came from as "it was always just there", which still sounds similar to "God was always just there".
Why are evolution and creation mutually exclusive? I know many people (university professors in relevant fields, not just some wacko standing in the street...although is there a difference?) who believe both.
Not to be a troll or anything, but as a creationist evolutionism for me comes down to the chicken and egg problem, mainly if the big bang created earth/life/the universe... i just have to wonder why and who/what created the big bang.
Although personally, I don't see evolution as being mutually exclusive to there being a god... evolution/creationism explain the "how" (to varying degrees), but neither explain the "why"

But I believe anything sent to someone else is owned by the recipient, which is the problemm unless otherwise stated
Of course not.
But those weren't "appropriate copymark markings" in that disclaimer
And hey, if the spelling in your book is as bad as that post, I don't think you've got anything to worry about really.
Ugly yes, but its not really a hack...
Time to set up a W.A.S.T.E. distribution network in your local vacinity...

I'd say you could even generalise it even more to "It is BAAAAD if they have government control, but A-OK if WE have control."
We need to stop seeing the world as them and us.
Its tearing us all apart.
Ah pants...they're still going with the 3d games.
Like MI4 wasn't bad, but it looked a bit crap compared to the lovely artwork of MI3.
Same with the screenshots of Sam and Max. The 2D concept looks like it could be a much prettier game to play than the 3D version.
Or maybe I just hate having to use a joypad to play adventure games...I wanna point and click where I walk to.
