That is a great idea, and very amusing. I did it for a while with the local Shaw's, until a Victory supermarket opened up the same distance away. Shaw's doesn't get any more of my money, which is best.
I assumed it was because Anakin wasn't well educated and came from a backwater planet, and he would pick up some refinement through association with the Emperor and the rest of the higher imperial society.
>> Bush got more votes than any American in history.
>Yes, but that doesn't mean anything, your comment is biased:
Yeah, it's all in the bias. I haven't checked the numbers, but it's also possible that Bush is the president with the largest number of voters having voting against him, too.
At least my vote (first time ever) helped win NH, though to no avail:-(.
I think a lot of people are missing the point here. I don't have time to personally verify whether the author's claims are correct; let's assume they are. The type of errors he saw are potentially the type that could be exploited via the tried-and-true buffer overflow method. This is the kind of thing that leads to "execution of arbitrary code", in other words, 0wnage. If Bad Guys craft a apecial web page, they could target those of us who use these non-IE browsers.
In other words, the people who have been defending IE (and Microsoft in general) by saying "your Mozillas and Operas have been safe from security problems only because nobody uses them" will not only have a field day, but now the clock is ticking. There's proof that there are promising means of attack against these browsers. Someone is surely going to research this. I really hope the good guys developing these browsers rise to the challenge and tighten up the code before we (the people who have been recommending them for years) start losing credibility. I'm inspired to look into helping them out.
Sorry if this seems incoherent, I keep getting interrupted as I type this. Stupid work...
What you mention about lack of courtesy does not apply only to Wal-Mart, nor is it a recent phenomenom.
I worked at K-Mart in the mid-80's (highschool and college years) and saw things that just destroyed any sympathy I had for the human race. I'd watch idiots take item A off the shelf, read the label or whatever, then place it back on the shelf a foot away in front of a bunch of item B.
I watched idiots take throw rugs off the rack, put them on the floor, then push their shopping cart over the rug as they walked away, not bothering to put the rug back. By he end of a bad day (weekend) frigging rugs would be stacked 5-6 deep in the aisle.
There are about 5 other things I could write about but don't want to get too worked up:-).
I've been using WingIDE 2.0 (an IDE for Python under OS X) under X11, and it looks just like an Aqua application. Not sure how they did it or why other people haven't done the same. Their 1.x product doesn't have the Aqua L&F, though.
Burial?!!? In my day a good horse carcass would feed the familiy for 6 months, and we were glad to get it, because we lived on broken glass for the other 6 months.

Bah, you could do the same with 2 lines of Perl and be 10e8 times more obfuscated :-).
But seriously that is very impressive.
Wow, someone who hates marketing/advertising as much as I do. I salute you.

I think of those, only "Cheetah" and "Cougar" haven't been German armored vehicles, during and post-WW2.

:-(.
But it wouldn't solve the SUV problem plaguing the United States

Could this be a viable source of energy? Just set up collector panels in their communes.
Obviously that was on purpose, to get past the spam filter.

"By far not all of them are suitable for space expedition."

What an odd thing to call one's wang.
Darn. If it had been assembled by Steve Wozniak, you'd have yourself a buyer! :-)
Thank you, thank you, always glad to meet a fan :-).
This sounds like an invitation to start a viagra vs. emacsagra flame war.

Curse these researchers, now black hats will be using this technique to let exploit code escape from chroot prisons!
I bet he dreams of being showered in that new IP gold, too.

Or "uncular" as he would say.
He was a "gentist" for COORS. Put 2+2 together :-).
