So, what about Belize, Costa Rica, Cuba, the Bahamas, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Panama, etc.?
Why does everyone seem to think that there are only 3 countries in North America? You know all those great tourist destinations? They're countries too!

2. expectations for the future, especially for the way a particular situation will develop
Hm. That sounds exactly what Outlook is supposed to do. It's groupware (not just a MUA). Outlook Express, being the stripped down version of Outlook, provides a quicker/express way of accessing the same types of information Outlook would normally give.

This gives the same connotation Internet Explorer gives. Surfing the net is like a journey (at least to the marketing/pr people).
Well, really, it would be only when he distributes his genes. And unless he's doing something radically different from the rest of us, he "reliquishes the source of his genes" every time he gets lucky:)
Unless, of course, the grandparent is a girl, and I'm not sure how that works. Mommy hasn't told me that part yet.
Rubbish. I use Hotmail, a friend of mine uses gmail. I've not had any problems getting his mails, and I've not even had to whitelist him for the spam filter.
Well, if you had read the fscking post, you'd realize that there is no mention of normal mail between hotmail and gmail: it's referring specifically to gmail invites.
Everywhere, except on and aruond college campases [sic], music sales are as strong as ever.
This brings up an interesting point for the RIAA. Isn't their target demographic for the vast majority of artists who are featured on labels part of the RIAA the lucrative 18-25 year olds? So you can talk about how music sales aren't down across all demographics, or how there really isn't any link to the increase of P2P programs to the decrease of music sales overall, but the one group that the RIAA really cares about is the one that shows the correlation the RIAA has been stating for quite some time.
Isn't this a contradiction? The whole point of a frozen release is that nothing changes. It's what allows Debian to say its system is remarkably stable.
If you change packages or change the kernel, it isn't Woody (the reknowned stable version) anymore, and instead becomes Sid (the more up-to-date, but labeled unstable version).
I wonder what the Debian overlords are going to do with this...
In the real world, yes, 100% does exist. Several of our systems here at work are guarenteed to be up 100% of the time, and 100% of our data backed up for a rollback period of a month (meaning we can roll back the server to any day in the past month in case of a disaster)
So how is this possible? Easy; have a competent IT staff. A monkey can administer a properly working backup system, and if you want to stay in the managed hosting business, a working backup system is absolutely essential. Obviously there's no way those systems can be up 100% of the time, but that's not the point. The point is that 100% of the time, you are getting the maximum utilization and productivity off of the service.
What happens when a server goes down? Well, the same things that happen in unguarenteed services, but with one exception: we get compensated. As per our contract, we get paid a flat fee for every minute we cannot use our system in its normal capacity. This is the essence of any business guarentee: they aren't saying they'll be up all the time, they are saying that if the off chance of a downtime does occur, you will be properly compensated.
It did, and still does to some extent, with respect to digital video (i.e. most every DVD out there). However, parent is generally mistaken. DVD doesn't stand for anything anymore.
Grandparent is mistaken. Dark energy is just normal energy: it gets its name from a problem that astrophysicists have had since Einstein; if the Universe is expanding, and there is only so much matter and energy that we've accounted for (which, by itself, would cause a "big crunch"), what is causing the expansion?
Astrophysicists call the energy required for such an expansion "dark energy" not because its "evil", but because they can't see it (in the figurative sense).
If it's a Windows PC, I suggest using Symantec Norton Ghost. They can do whatever they like to the computer, but when it reboots, it goes back to its original condition. It's perfect for applications like these.
By that same logic, if someone at the airport , picks up my luggage from the belt (hey it was in a public place, finders-keepers right ?), and then guesses the lock combination, which happens to be 12345 (space balls ?), then that shouldn't be a crime right ?
In this case, you own the luggage. The carmakers do not own your car: you do. A proper analogy would be this:
A luggage company sells you a piece of luggage, but the lock on the front pocket is locked, and they refuse to give you the combination for whatever reason. If you guess the correct one, and open the lock, there was no crime.
I'm sorry, you conclusions do NOT follow from your premises. You have instead chosen an arbitrary standard that you happen to agree with and more or less declare this to be 'obvious' when it in fact is not.
There is an inductive fallacy for what you're trying to show. It's called a false analogy.
However, I think the grandparent was trying to make an implicit a fortiori argument; programs should be modularized and decentralized, and browsers, being ideallistically an HTML viewer/parser, a fortiori should show a modularity and deccentricity only exhibited in a stable, secure, and configurable program.
So what you're saying is... reading is bad?
That's the type of fuel I need to get out of this week's reading assignment; I knew my teachers were wrong! Thanks guy!
Oooh, so close. What you're describing would be more analogous to "Metaformat qua format." A metaformat does not need to be a format; it can be a specification, an idea, or a shoe as long as it deals with those fundamentals required for making formats.
There are similar things: HBO has a system that does this (albeit at the server level); if the return-path is spoofed, the e-mail gets dropped at the MTA. The users never even know they were e-mailed.
Clear Channel Communications, Inc. is one of the largest radio station corporations in the world. They have something like 2000+ affiliates under them. Interesting side note: they're the ones for most of the latest bouts of censoring on the radio.
Learn where they can fit with a hands-on introduction to using Hibernate and Spring to build a transactional persistence tier for your enterprise applications.
Will it bring synergy to our on-demand world too? Jeez, save the buzz words for the boss.

I believe the colloquial name is "sticker bush".
This means that you can now run your favourite PowerPC-OS on x86: Mandrake Linux (9.1),
Why not just run it natively on the x86 architecture?
