Well I have seen that particular form of representation hundreds of times. In 1996 a friend did a Java applet with the same representational view. I agree the underlying data structure is far more important. What I find annoying is the visual representation of the relationships. It adds nothing to my knowledge of the subject. This particular form of visual interface is just plain not very useful.
What if your waiting cost the lives of thousands of people? Your approach wouldn't work at all btw. Random rumors about a product without hard evidence just won't float with the FDA. You would leak it so someone else to take the career hit. What company do you work for so I know to never use their products?
Karl Rove was involved. He confirmed Valerie Plame's identity. This came out after MONTHS of denials that he had nothing at all to do with it. Whether he committed a crime or not is up to the special prosecutor.
Well it's still losing money my friend. Look at Microsoft's financials - MSN search is a BIG money loser. Google isn't trying to "kill" MSN search, just make irrelevant.
Every version of IE since 5.0 has defaulted to the MS search engine. Has it helped MSN Search's market search? No. Office? Why do I need my word processor or spreadsheet to go to a search engine. Changing your default search engine will always be easy - largely because the anti-trust settlement requires it.
The constant refrain of (IE will default to it) doesn't change the fact that this strategy has already failed.
I mean other recent acquistions such as Shopping.com have made sense. Ebay is not a teleco. It doesn't fit with any other business lines. Ebay is about getting the best price on goods as Shopping.com, Half have proved. Why Skype?
Black living here for centuries have faced centuries of discrimination and slavery. So after 40 years of saying "ok blacks, you can vote now and not get lynched," everything is fine in your mind? What an isolated little life you lead.
" FOX News last night that the government is setting up desks/stations in the refugee camps so the poor blacks can pick up their welfare checks."
First off - When I look at the TV I see many retired elderly people who need to pick up their Social security checks. I see a lot of old folks in the refugees. Please provide a link or some other evidence other than Fox News told me.
Who cares about whether he was fired or resigned? He has spent the last twelve years running horse shows. That certainly doesn't qualify you to run the Federal Emergency Management Agency. He had ZERO experience but all the political connections. He should resign.
" continueing concept amongst blacks that they are "victims" of something that happened centuries ago."
Perhaps you are not aware that until the voting rights act of 1965, black were largely disenfranchised and segregated. Hardly centuries ago.
"What we are seeing in N.O. is the result of socialism in America. I can't count the number of times on T.V. I've seen the poor black people complaining about "what is the government going to do", "where is the government to take care of us", "why has the government let us down." Instead of taking personal responsibility for their actions, they have been conditioned by receiving welfare checks and other government handouts, mainly from the Democratic Party, to not think for themselves."
A vast and very child like generalization. Many of these people are working poor who pay taxes. Many of them don't own vehicles. By call them "welfare recipients" you simply reveal your ignorance. What data is this based on? Knowing what I know about the difficulty of receiving welfare after the welfare reform act I doubt that many of them are welfare recipients.
Take a look at the reponse the government had in regards to Hurricane Andrew - it was much better.
As far as your immigrant success stories - yeah sure people come here and are successful. Usually because they have a great deal of money to begin with. Your quote
some literally "off the boat" at Ellis Island in N.Y.
is quite telling. Ellis Island hasn't been used as an immigration facility for 51 years.
I assume this is a joke as disaster recovery is one of things the government is good at. Look at the previous hurricanes in Florida and the response they had. Joe Scarborough with MS NBC who went through several hurricanes is Florida was aghast at the ineffectiveness of the response. Please tell me about the free market disaster response alternatives.
What is the mechanism by which genes fade? I suggest that you take a basic biology class. Mitochrondrial DNA tests indicate that Neanderthals were an entirely seperate species with no interbreeding.Here's more on MtDNA highlight the discovery of Eve who lived 200,000 years ago.
I am but your post portrays a tremendous lack of knowledge about what science is.
There is consensus on the theory of evolution. It's the best theory for the data. Yet here we are debating things that the scientific community settled a while ago. And no you don't get consensus from the religious right - that's why they developed ID - creationism in sheep's clothing.
"even if you _hate_ the the ID proponents, and beleive they are flatly wrong and that macroevolution is the endpoint of human understanding of lifes origins, you still need to be able to competantly address their arguments.... steel sharpens steel, if you like."
Competently address their arguments? What are their scientific arguments? What papers have they published explaining this idea and providing support for it? Why they haven't. More like steel cuts mustard. Why aren't they doing research, and finding evidence to support their position? The ID supporters seem to spend a lot of time getting their ideas in the classroom without a single shred of scientific evidence.
ID isn't a theory. It cannot be proven false, it cannot be subject to experimentation. That's the method of science. If you are going to teach ID, you should probably teach Intelligent Falling
If 40 % of the market is deleting their cookies (no doubt as part of a regular anti spyware cleaning) that's a problem no matter what spin you put on it.
Zero Point Energy? Why Zero Point Modules are what power the lost city of Atlantis in Stargate Atlantis. They are widely recognized as on the most powerful energy sources in television science fiction.
That's the point of the article - If Google had negotiated "the appropriate" contract terms, when it came to time to renegotiate - WHAM! Here comes the Microsoft hammer. Don't think so? Why not? They would have had Google by the balls. You cannot put your ball in the MS vice and not expect them to squeeze.
Your last comment got modded down for good reason. Nothing is stopping you from putting out your own distribution/torrent/. What's the matter with you? Tons of independent content producers use bittorrent to distribute their content.

I have never found that view on the data very usedul. It's a solution in search of a problem to my mind.

Let's not forget Quicken and Quickbooks. MS has been after that market for nearly 13 years and has never de throned Intuit.
Yeah sure all we need is a deep space antenna and we will total own it. Oh yeah I don't have one of those.
What theory are talking about? Clearly you no Nothing about evolutionary biology. What is your theory my friend?

Really - What holes exactly are you talking about? Oh that's right you have no idea of what you talking about.

This post is quite wrong on MANY MANY levels.

Ok - Now how does this scale to 50,000 poor people? The people who could afford to hire buses to leave, left NO.

How is the story partisan? Many of the posts are partisan.

It looks to me as though Firefox's natural marketshare has stabilized. It's just not a large as we hoped.

Great idea. It legitimizes BitTorrent as a protocol and it makes find some great content easy. Torrents On!
