No, it doesn't. Being multilingual doesn't mean that you can ignore the fact that something has already happened.
If he's saying that it's already been scaled back, then what's he ranting about? It would be like people from New Orleans screaming about how Bush needs to start giving federal assistance, then acknowleding that he started doing it last week.
A country where an individual can't spend their own money, after taxes, to save their own life, is barbaric.
Yes, because people in Canada who try to go to the US for treatment get stopped by Canadian officials who arrest them, right?
A country who's Supreme Court agrees that to prevent someone from spending their own money for healthcare is unconstitutional, but can be overruled by the government's application of a constitutional "notwithstanding" clause is doubly barbaric.
Show me where the government HAS used the notwithstanding clause to do this, and then you might have a valid point.
But first you'd have to show where the federal government HAS EVER used the notwithstanding clause.
Cowards, definately.
The only coward I see here is you, using your father's death as an excuse to flame people who are sticking up for their beliefs.
I suggest you get professional help with your grief. The level of substitution you're showing isn't healthy.
The GIMP has none of the important features that Photoshop has.
OK, as you mentioned the word features, please list them.
It can't do CMYK
OK, that's one.
it doesn't work with the millions of Photoshop plugins
Sorry, but this is just saying "it's not photoshop" - which is not a feature. A feature is something a piece of software can do, not something it is.
If you insist on claiming this is a "feature", then as Photoshop doesn't work with GIMP plugins, that means that GIMP is better than Photoshop then (by your own standard.)
an industry standard
Please list the RFC or standards body which has formally approved Photoshop as a standard for an industry.
I think it's because he doesn't "get" tabs, and thinks it's just another way to combine separate windows.
I think that he's used to Windows, and expects it to work the same way. It doesn't, and so rather than trying to understand it, he think's it's a shortcoming.
Here's what (I think) is his process: He's on a page, and wants to open a link on that page without disturbing his current session, so (in IE land) he would go "open new", and have the web page in a new window/tab, so that he can then click the link he wants to view. (Note this is a two-step process.)
What he doesn't realize is that if he went "open link in new tab/window", then he'd get the same result, with less effort (one step rather than two.)
Firefox even makes this easier by assigning this to the middle-mouse button by default - want to follow a link, use left button; want to follow a link in a new session, use the middle button.
The point isn't that the shortcomings can't be fixed - it's that they shouldn't be shortcomings in the first place.
And most of them aren't shortcomings at all.
Find is at the bottom of the screen for a reason (and a good one). However, it should be positionable by the user.
Tabs opening blank is the *CORRECT WAY* to do it - as another poster pointed out. "I'm opening a new tab, I'm not cloning an existing one." New means *NEW*, not "clone of what I'm vewing now." When I open a *NEW* tab, it's because I want to go somewhere else, not see the exact same thing I'm already looking at. If you want to visit a link in the page, use middle-click, which will open a new tab, and load the link (which is more user-friendly than cloning the tab and forcing the user to click on the link - one action rather than two.)
I've never used the Go menu, but some of the responses are interesting - it holds a global list of sites visited, shared between tabs. In a non-tabbed browser it's pretty useless, but combined with tabs, it becomes pretty cool.
No. That's what VLAN does - a separate, virtual network using the same infrastructure.
One of the most basic (although not the coolest) functions of VLAN is to create two (or more) networks on the same switch - you can group ports on your switch so that the devices can't see or talk to each other (so if you want separate networks, there's no need to buy a separate switch for each one.)
Society has decided, for example, that people under age 18 are not capable of knowing what love is and expressing that emotion through sex--at least with another individual who is over age 18.
Umm, I think you mean "Society IN THE USA has decided.."
The age of consent varies dramatically in other countries. Of course, these countries don't go into a tizzy when a nipple gets shown on television, either.
The One Tank Challenge demonstrated that on a 62L gas tank it's possible to drive Toronto city traffic for 972 KMs getting better than 5.9L/100KM (or roughly 50MPG).
While that's interesting, it doesn't quite match up with what othershavereported. Seeing as the people touting the 50MPG are Ford themselves, I'd have to take their numbers with a grain of salt.

Not only that, but he's comparing the US, which had the national equivalent of a seizure when one nipple was shown in the media, with the UK, where one of the national newspapers (umm, for lack of a better word:o) has a full-page color photo of a girl showing both nipples, each and every day - and nobody much cares.
We sell high-end scanners (as in SCSI sheet-fed units designed to run all day) here at work. We got a new Fujitsu unit in, and the techs were setting it up in Windows 2000 (which is what the client was using.)
It took them about an hour of putzing with SCSI drivers and trying different settings to get it to work 100% (getting the document feeder to work properly).
When they were done, I stuck my Knoppix 3.7 CD in the machine and started it up. I opened XSANE, and just started scanning. Knoppix saw the scanner, recognized that it had a document feeder, and I was able to start scanning with it immediately.

The files should have been checked for viruses when uploaded onto the Mozilla site.
Uploaded by *whom*?
The files weren't on the Mozilla site, they were on a third-party site that Mozilla neither owns nor controls.
To truly understand the changes here, you must learn what the titles were before they were announced:
CELarry,
CECurly,
and CEMoe.
Umm.. OK, that sounded funnier in my head.
Canada is like the U.S. except for the fact that Christian evangelicals are completely ignored politically.
:o)
Nope - in the last election, they won 98 seats.
But it's not so great acting as a client to Windows servers, and/or operating as a server with other Windows severs.
Bullshit.
I've been using Samba in exactly this way for almost 9 years - it works flawlessly, and was trivial to set up.
It makes perfect sense if you're multilingual.
No, it doesn't. Being multilingual doesn't mean that you can ignore the fact that something has already happened.

doesn't a normal lawnmower produce like 30x the pollution of a late model car? If so, why not make a better lawn mower?
Because people don't drive their lawnmower back and forth to work every single day.
That's a whopping $375/pound.
:o)
When did the exchange rate between the UK and the USA get so skewed?
Actually, they're talking Canadian dollars.
But that still doesn't make any sense..
Perhaps me meant "to some extent, the claims should be scaled back"? If they are already scaled back, then what's he ranting about?
More to the point, why should you care about the opinions of someone who would write this:
My advise: but the losses. To some extend, I think, the claims a scaled back meanwhile, if I understood Art correctly.
To quote Lisa Simpson, "I know those words, but that sentence makes no sense to me!"
Can someone.... anyone convert that into English?
If Fujitsu produce crappy drivers for their scanners then sack the person responsible for buying it, and stop blaming Microsoft.
You missed the entire point.
MS is supposed to be "easier". In reality, it really, really isn't, unless you're dealing with extremely limited circumstances.
The fact that they eventually got everything working (and the fact that it's stable) proves that it's not a "diver" problem, it's an OS problem.

I don't know whether they had one before that.
They did - 3.9/4.0 was bootable (it's the oldest version I have handy) and it even came with a live CD (way before Knoppix thought of it.)
You're forgetting about putting a sock on its head.
Ahh.. my favourite proof that dogs are smarter than cats.
A dog will use his paws to remove the sock. A cat will walk around backwards.
How about the cost to actually *design* the chip.
Or do you think that Intel should foot the multi-million-dollar bill out of the goodness of their hearts?

The one that most people will be familiar with is "When Harry met Sally" - the four-way split conversation between Harry, Jess, Marie and Sally.
