He was American propaganda pushing the ownership of guns to kids who would grow up into responsible gun owning adults....but in the meantime, they must first mature from manic, gun-toting adolescents;) You don't hear about many Canadian teachers being shredded with igloo block slicers now do ya?
Yup, because she's a cute little blonde-haired white girl whose parents have footage of her up on stage doing something cute a la Jon Benet Ramsay (q.v.)
If, on the other hand, Smart were a homely little black girl with crooked teeth and a left eye that just kinda pointed out into space, a band of wandering perverts could abduct, violate and dismember her, and get only a small fine for littering when they disposed of the corpse.
Kids go missing every day. The cute ones get press.
As opposed to all of those *wired* balloons floating around out there, entangling birds and electrocuting poor innocent workers during lightning storms.
I can just see him coming back with a gun and capping me, only he'll decide a few years after the fact that I really should've shot at him first & edit the security camera tape to make it look that way.
A Talmudic scholar is one who studies the Talmud;)
OK, OK, OK... without going into too much detail, the Jews believe that god gave Moses a written teaching and a verbal explanation of that teaching, collectively referred to as the Torah. The Torah Shebiksav is the written text, and consists of several of the books of the Old Testament, and a few books unique to the Torah.
The Torah Shebalpeh was god's verbal explanation of the laws and the reasons behind them, intended to be passed down orally from one generation to the next. The gist of the explanations was put to paper in a text called the Mishna, but the real details are in the gemara; the Mishna is more like a thousand year-old cue card.
The Talmud consists of the Mishna and the gemara. A Talmudic scholar is one who has studied the Talmud in great detail, and is familiar with Jewish religious laws and customs.
We're forced to use Mozilla at work 'cause IE has more holes than a Peter North fan club. On a Win32 platform it's unstable with many instances running (I suspect they're all the same process), crashes for no apparent reason, takes forever to load and is fugly.
I can't blame it for crashing when it tries to load certain sites, since many people are obviously using Bill's Malformed HTML to generate IE-friendly (read "IE-Only) web pages.
Even with the kind of vulnerabilities that made me want to dump IE in the first place and flaky Javascript support, I'd still use Opera if I could.
Unfortunately, MS is the VHS to everyone else's Beta. Inferior technology, bloody annoying to use, but way better market permeation. Bleh.
If software engineers become a trade, they'll eventually get their own union. This union would control the engineers' work by setting standards for education, and defining how certain jobs will be done.
I'll give a cookie to the first person who names a company that would be quite happy to control the board overseeing this as-yet imaginary union.
In the binary number system there are two digits: zero and one. The ternary number system has three digits: 0, 1, 2. Imagine a hypothetical "decinary" system: How many digits would it have?
The way these digits are represented in the computer is unimportant, and shouldn't be confused with the way we represent them on paper.
That seems to be a common theme among entertainment imported from Japan. Compared to the video games they sell in Japan, the N. American releases are for children and the elderly.
Apparently they believe we Engarish-spikkuus are too stupid even for television. What scares me most is that they're probably right.
Instead of working to properly synchronize the actor's lips with the dialogue, just dig up an actor who couldn't do it when he was alive. Real clever:)
(Yes, yes, I know the sound was recorded separately from the video for cost-cutting reasons, and yet somehow most real Chinese martial arts movies still take longer to watch than they did to make)
The trailer's on Apple's site. Apple owns QT, and they'll do anything they can to sell a copy (or at least encourage us to go find a stolen one that was bought & paid for). It's their way of compensating for not crippling the free version of QT.
And what if that rural area doesn't happen to have DSL? Trusting my counterstrike stats in the face of latency is one thing, but can you picture a doctor fighting with it?
"DOOD, wtf? You just p4wned that guy's aorta!"
"Bah, lag"
"Lag schmag joo sux0r"
That may not be such a bad idea... I rather like the idea of a calendar that can't keep track of time. My appointment in January? Sorry that was last week. Christmas holidays in August? Why not:)?
Now if you'll excuse me, my computer tells me it's already 5 PM. Time to go home.
Games come out finished? Maybe, but when they're broke, they're broke bad.
Midnight Club Racing frequently forgets to put champions on the map, SSX Tricky has unsmoothed polygons you can just trip over for no reason and places where you can fall off the edge of the earth & continue falling forever, and the bug list for Zelda 5 runs on for pages. These bugs will always be there.
At least if your system has a hard drive and internet access, *MAYBE* if the bug is serious enough you could download a patch from the developer.

Defining Globalism

Excellent point, lousy example.
Globalization is primarily a commercial movement, powered by the world's strongest economy. It makes sense that the country hosting that economy should be leading the charge towards globalization.
Unfortunately, embracing their goal means embracing their ideals. Let's face it: The American culture is very pervasive. Not everyone wants to become Americanized, which is something they would have to do if they lived in a truly "globalized" planet organized by the 'states.
I'm not saying there's anything necessarily wrong with the way you southerners do things, only that your way is not always right, and that your pied piper's flute is quite loud enough as it is thank you.
The UN may be a toothless gaggle of squabbling children run by a third-world potentate, but it's also the only chance third world nations have of getting cash out of the west. Concentrating all of the economic power and focus on the 'States would mean the poorer countries would only get cash when the American desire for excess has been sated.

You are, no doubt, referring to the war3z'd release of Windows XP, right?
Still no cure for cancer, but man do them hobbits move smoooothly! Look at the hair on his face! Kinda brings a tear to your eye don't it Uncle Bob?
Huh? Oh, you're crying because your morphine drip doesn't numb the pain. Never mind then.

Why not get the African countries to prosecute Microsoft for anticompetitive practices and force MS to just give them the software to pay penalties?

Since this new compiler is forcing you to make moves you may not want to make, perhaps C checkers is more appropriate?
People jumping in the air, then travelling horizontally, before landing vertically down again.
Actors walking and talking in a strange, unrealistic manner.
A plot which doesnt make sense, and which can be completely ignored and not effect the enjoyment value at all.
And exactly what do you have against Keanu Reeves? I happened to think The Matrix was... um...
dammit I hate it when you're right.
