Mac is like a high maintenance mistress, Windows is like a pricey Girlfriend, Ubuntu is like a wife.
So the Mac costs more but will do whatever I want, Windows might do what I want sometimes but I have to work really hard at it, and Ubuntu won't do what I want and doesn't even pretend to care?
It's still interesting to me that this sounds patently anti-scientific. Science is founded on the idea that our universe is predictable and that we can understand it. Saying "we might not be able to find this out because it's fate" seems closer to "We can never understand our own origins because a mysterious intelligent designer created us" in spirit than I would be comfortable with if I were the scientist who said it.
On the other hand, this theory, unlike ID, can be disproven, making it very scientific.
I don't worry about the launch, I worry about the landing. A camera from space crashing into a house, person, car, etc. would be a bad thing (think parachute failure).
Wait. The executives want a sysadmin to perform an upgrade but the sysadmin refuses? Who is running this company? I don't think it's who you think it is.
However, the solution isn't to leave it up to a jury but to filter information to such an extent that they're forced to come up with the "right" decision.
Great idea! However, since there are two sides to every story (which is why there's a trial going on in the first place, right?), there should be a person doing filtering for each side. Yeah, and we could call those people doing the filtering LAWYERS.
Congratulations, you just argued that to change the system we should leave it the way it is. Fantastic work.
There are plenty of places with private fire departments. You pay their annual fee, then they'll put your house fire out. If you haven't paid, they come out to your house but they don't put out the fire unless it threatens the neighbors who paid.
Apples and oranges.
Now imagine a family trying to get some of that insurance but being denied because the wife lived in an apartment building a few years ago that had a fire somewhere in the complex.
In my experience, I'd go to every single parent teacher conference, and not once did the teacher ever listen to anything at all I'd have to say. I'd ask, for instance, to make sure I saw the homework and make sure I saw the tests, but not once did it happen. And I'm not talking about one bad teacher here, it was almost all of them.
I'm not trying to be an ass but I don't understand what you're saying here. Are you asking the teacher to make sure you see your child's homework instead of having your child show you their homework?
Don't forget having to say to yourself over and over: "Dontlookathertits. Dontlookathertits. Dontlookathertits. Dontlookathertits..." You spend so much time trying to not get slapped that you miss out on half the conversation.
What I said is that you can't call it mature code once someone has been grafting new functionality onto it...
No, what you said was, "When you change mature code, it's not mature any more." I see neither "graft" nor "functionality" there. Sorry for not divining your true intentions with my mystic powers. Garbage in, garbage out.
When you change mature code, it's not mature any more.
So by your really interesting way of thinking, Apple shouldn't patch the bug at all because modifying the code would make it not mature and mature (i.e. old) code is always better than immature code. Which is great if you're working on VMS every day, I suppose.

No woman who's been married for 10 years still has sex with her husband.
That's my wife you're making fun of, you insensitive clod!
I'm going to miss Jesux, the born-again Linux.
Its just that APPLE does not know how to right compliant software...
Thanks for the example of how not to use compliant words.
I mean theoretical results...
Lots of theoretical results, you just can't see them. Hello, they're theoretical!
That's your wife to you?
Fixed that for you.

...there are far more probable ways of averting the fatal collision...
And you are measuring this probability how?

Maybe next time you should provide a link to your "fact" so it can be verified as such, since, at first glance, it appears to be just a statistic.
An OS X party is the closest thing to a Mac religion you can get.
Mac users don't throw parties. We stand in lines.
Looks like television. I haven't watched television since some time in the previous century. There's a reason for that.
Ah, but the 21st century has television only dreamt of in the previous century: Nigella Lawson's cooking shows.
In other words, you've sent away for your party pack.
Thank you for taking the time to share that insight, Justice Scalia.
I am sad that my mod points expired yesterday instead of today. A virtual "+1 Insightful" to you.

No, they don't. The secret recipes of McDonalds and KFC are trade secrets.

Yes, but they seem to ignore a simple fact...
You're new to this whole "marketing" thing, aren't you? :-)

But she knew what a "Facebook wall" was so she's not completely above it all, is she?
