Okay, but when the FIRST POST in the comments is pro-nuke, and has nothing to do with the article, are you really going to give them the benefit of the doubt?
So if a program doesn't respect the way an OS behaves... it's the OS's fault?
And it's not just Windows -- Gimp on the Mac is borderline unusable due to the way floating windows behave. Other programs on the Mac make floating windows work fine, but Gimp never bothered to fix that issue.
I'm all set to give someone my money, but nobody seems too eager to sell me something.
I hate to be the guy who makes the car analogy, but if you walked into a dealership and said you wouldn't buy anything that wasn't a V8 that got 45MPG, came with an XM radio, had a sunroof, four doors, included the schematics, and cost $16k or less, I imagine they'd politely tell you to take a hike.
Don't get me wrong, it's great when you can get exactly what you want. But that's often the exception to the rule.
That's where you're wrong. Using "fake" numbers is shooting yourself in the foot, because students eventually learn that all numbers on their tests are setup so that they'll never get decimals, huge fractions, or whatever.
Such nicely behaving numbers rarely appear in the real world, and math evolved from the need to solve real-world problems, not to waste graphite and paper on meaningless drivel.
I'd argue that using "setup" numbers is giving students an impression about math that isn't true, and a way to verify their answers -- neither of which has a basis in the real world.
Actually, since Propecia works by disrupting some kind of testosterone-related hormone -- which is presumably why it causes impotence in the long run -- baldness might very well be an indicator of virility.
The only people who hate on SQL are the people who don't understand databases.
That's a lot like saying people who don't like washing their clothes by hand don't like wearing clean clothes. Just because you enjoy doing something in a painful way doesn't mean that it's the best way to do it.

Yes, the US government did install a backdoor. It's not an AV though; it's called Windows.
Queue the nuclear industry PR folks!
China taxes imports -- heavily, in some cases. But we can't seem to do that in the USA.
China: if Microsoft was a country.
Just like photos never get removed on paid Flickr accounts, or Microsoft never loses Sidekick data. Right?
Oh wait...
This horse only holds 12 people. The original Trojan horse held 30 people, according to Wikipedia.
So it doesn't exactly sound "life-sized" to me.
That's missing the point though, which is that other programs don't have this problem. Photoshop, Flash, Illustrator, etc. all work fine on Windows.

Twitter has stood up against government requests, so has Google, hell even SBC/AT&T. Not every company has a policy of caving.
I think HE-MAN is better than HE-ACC.
...could possibly go wrong?

KDE Kan't Do Everything.
We already have a Java killer; his name is Larry Ellison.
...that the Flip was a flop?
And then Stalin disposes of the doctors.
"...if the proper setup numbers are used."

...with a grain of salt.
(But watch out, that grain of salt might be a tiny camera.)
No, but they still have to pay their employees, therefore they must pay a payroll tax.
What sparked this is their impending IPO, since stock options would have been taxed.

Self-confidence, social ability, and how you dress are more important than your hair.
Want some apple juice?
SQL is not a "system." It's a language.
