As far as the increasing number of API's goes, I suspect this is simply more of the previous approach where the way to a 'single' standard was to include every other standard, leaving you with the same basic functions existing as several different API's.
This is *not* standardisation
Of course, maybe they've cleaned it all, and I'm talking out of my arse...
Mozilla, mainly due to its tabbed browsing, is a much easier to use browser. However, IE is still significantly faster then Mozilla at displaying large pages ( for example, large drop-down lists ) and hence can often seem slicker to use.
If Mozilla could operate at IE speed, then it would be head and shoulders above IE.
If you shopped more often, any energy saving due to lower refrigeration costs would be far outwieghed by the increase cost of transport to do your shopping more often
You do not use a reasonable benchmark. Bias is not measured against other media reporting.. it can only be measured against objective reality.
In the case of an individual story, I would agree but it quite possible, when taken of a range of stories to form an opinion of the bias a news source has in relation to other news sources. Most of my news information comes via US, UK and Indian sources. It is quite easy to see a leaning toward pro-Israeli stories in the US media, and not just since 11/9/2002, compared to a mild bias towards the Palestinians in the UK ( and in much of Europe ), and a general anti-palestinian bias in Indian reporting.
Despite these 'inherent' biases, it was noticable, for example, that shortly after the Sept 11th when Israeli started major offensives against the Palestinian Authority, clearly using Sept 11th as 'cover', this news was barely covered in the ( obviously and understandly otherwise occupied ) US media, yet space was found for other pro-Israel stories, whereas in the UK, and even in the naturally anti-palestinian Indian media this was widely covered.
The American media is biased against Israel ? You must be having a laugh. Even a cursory glance at the reporting from the US networks compared to teh rest of the world's media will show a huge pro-Israel bias, to the extend that many stories that run elsewhere that may result in Israel being seen in a negative light are simply not run in the US media.
What the hell are you talking about ? The cost of running a fridge is not an issue in nearly every case, if you own a fridge. If you have a fridge, in nearly every case you run it all the time, else its not very useful. There is precious little, if any, elasticity.
You may well buy a more energy efficient fridge to reduce your energy consumption, but you'll not find many people who own a fridge and then run it 'every other tuesday' because the cost of electricity is so high.
Either exchange is impossible to administer well or just very, very hard. Until recently you couldn't restore single users mailboxes
This is simply untrue. Using ( for example ) BackupExec you can restore the whole database, a single mailbox, a single folder in that mailbox, or even a single message in a particular folder in that mailbox.
First time we had to use it, we were down for a day, it didn't come up.
Perhaps you should try configuring it, and then testing next time ?
In my experience, for upto around 500 users Exchange works perfectly well, with almost no maintenance overhead, and when used with Outlook ( as it nearly always is ) the integrated scheduling, calendering, address books, etc, etc, make it extremely simple and powerful to use.

Sort of like how Christianity was a bastardised form of Judaism ?
Or how Judaiam was based upon more pagan-like polytheistic ( eg, worshipping a wife of Yahweh ) religions that came before it.
btw, look up the etymology for the word 'zealot'...

I've not seen that one, but they often play the Strokes/Aguilera mix.
Also, Sugababes are at number one having done a similar thing with Are Friends Electric and Freak Like Me
They made laws so that they were the ones who controlled this.
Not exactly. You are free to make up your own currency. These could take the form of promises of your time in return for the services of others. Or your goats. Or your grain.

At a stroke you've got a service you can sell, thus generating more of your beloved GDP, you employ people and you cut pollution.
