the N-gage... although I guess no matter who wins, it'll be the "Big N", hehe
Since it is possible to tell everything about a person from a single/. post, I'd like to point out that your counting skills are actually quite good for a neo-nazi cannibal soccer mom... who votes Republican.
Win2K and XP do in fact have their own special BSOD's, they're just hidden behind what I've come to call pseudostability. Right click "my computer",properties, Advanced tab, click "startup and recovery..." and note that the default setting for 2K and XP is to reboot on bluescreening, a behavior slightly better than doing nothing, but not nearly as nice as preventing it to begin with.
Sounds like a problem that should be solved through software, not hardware. Not everyone wants a "record macro" button on their keyboard (or, for that matter, a volume control, a "connect to the internet" button, or a "go shopping" button, to name other common and superfluous keys.)
I agree wholeheartedly. I encourage everyone to use my definition of "two", which is "three". Oh wait, I forgot. The only reason language works is because there is consensus on what words mean. You don't know what people mean when they misuse the word ironic, it just doesn't matter because they don't either, or they would've used the correct word.

"Random" gets used a lot in a similar fashion. Irritates me profusely.
Musician's have more shit to haul around and it's generally a lot heavier. That's about it.
Don't forget that many fewer people read for pleasure than listen to music, so the audience is smaller.
Try this question: Is it possible to win a presidential election without corporate sponsorship? I think Bill Hicks said it best when he compared the Democrats and Republicans to a pair of puppets, sharing a puppeteer.
The FBI persuing the LAW, which coincendintly equates to persuing the interests of RIAA...
'tis no coincidence, my friend. Those laws were paid for by RIAA.
For one, churches don't pay taxes, for another, there is the immeasurable burden of having to slip innovation past the "If god had wanted us to walk around with no clothes on, we would've been born naked." mentality, which has opposed virtually all new technology since before there was a printing press to record it...
As long as there are people hunting for a free lunch, this wishful thinking will continue to propogate. Riddle me this though: What kind of evolution favors organisms operating at 10% efficiency?
I also dont believe millions of people would lie.
On the other hand, I have no trouble at all believing that millions of people could be wrong. Once the number of people who hold an erroneous belief hits a critical mass, that belief becomes self-perpetuating (much like peer-to-peer networks, oddly enough...), and that's why we have religions today.
Nowhere in the bible does it specifically mention the exact number of years since the Earth was created, yet hard-line literalists have added the ages in the "begat" section to get the ridiculous age of 6,000 years. If it is fair for them to do that, surely it is fair to take the other authors of the Bible at their literal word, and determine that a)the Earth is flat. b)the value of pi is three. If you are not one of the fools who believes that every word in the bible is literal, concrete truth, then it shouldn't bother you that the Bible contains these questionable statements.
Here is a list of quotes from the bible regarding the shape of the earth. Admittedly, it's from infidels.org, but surely the host doesn't matter, since they're quoting infallible scripture...
Since "refined" and "sophisticated" are both intangible and subjective, they can only be quantified by comparison. In comparison with the results of the scientific method, I would say that Christianity is less refined and sophisticated by about, oh... 3 units of refinement and sophistication.;)
I believe you are incorrect. The Catholic church is considered a part of Christianity, but all Christians are not Catholics. Likewise, a few Christians might be wonderful scientists in spite of themselves, but Christianity and scientists are not mutually inclusive.
One of the definitions of civilized is refined and sophisticated. Since the Catholic church only recognized that the earth orbits the sun (instead of vice-versa) within my lifetime, and it is a more sophisticated and refined description of our solar system, that is an example of uncivilized behavior from Christianity within our time (especially considering that people were put to death for claiming the Earth orbited the sun...)

Wow, how nice of them to retroactively extend time.

The big example is macros. Much harder to script mouse movement.

The latter would go a long way towards accomplishing the former.
