It's a poor craftsman that blames his tools.... If I am able to handle working in different 3d platforms, why is it that 'normal' office users can't do the stupid TPS report in whatever is placed in front of them.
But why bother when FireBird (now FireFox)/Galeon/Mozilla is just as good (better)?
Because they're _not_ as good (better). Opera is better than all of them, I've tried them all. If you disagree with me, you must be an idiot or a moron, at least; worst case, a terrorist.
I too have bought it. I tried Foxfire, it doesn't cut it (although it is a fine browser). I like being able to disable images and switch between author and user mode quickly. I like how I can click on the current tab and it goes to the previous one, and then back again (nice for when I'm in tab 5, and the new one is tab 8, and it makes it easy to go back to tab 5 without having to know 'this is tab 5 I need to come back to'). I like being able to close the browser and it saves my current state, so I get back to that state quickly (I can even save sessions). I like page zooming. I hate not being able to view certificates. I very rarely have any problems rendering pages, posting, etc. I like how it feels light and fast. I like how I can delete all private data in one fell swoop, cookies, cache, passwords. It doesn't crash anymore, early version 7 was pretty bad for me that way. I like how they implemented Google ads on the ad bar (I use the free one at work).

Considering the GW Bush has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, can you really take many awards seriously?
Reminds me of when Gorbachev won it, after he violently put down a small uprising in Lithuania. Then, I think, Andrei Sakharov's widow returned his Nobel Peace Prize. It's already been cheapened to mean nothing.
The U.S. government is becoming increasingly militarized. If you are an American taxpayer, and you don't want to pay to kill people whose country you can't find on a map, I suggest you vote for Howard Dean, or the intelligent, non-violent candidate of your choice.
You're right on the first, but wrong about Dean. He's just another Government-loving Statist. Don't tell me about anything he has said, because he's a flack for the State, and thus probably a bald-faced liar. War is the health of the State, so he'll be a warmonger just like all Statists are. And this is why Bush is no limited-gov't conservative--he loves the State, and promotes its wars.
I had to call some tech-support guys in Swanwick (you don't pronounce the second 'w') to re-load some data I accidentally RM'd- and I know he was speaking the Queens english but I'll be DAMNED if I understood a word of it. Mind you, I find Scottish brogue to be charming and sometimes understandable, but this fellow made Cockney sound like the AT&T computer operator voice.
It's easier to understand Germans speaking English than it is to understand many Britons.
And here is Comcast's AUP. Notice how vague it is? And the key section:
Network, Bandwidth, Data Storage and Other Limitations
You must comply with all current bandwidth, data storage, and other limitations on the Service established by Comcast and its suppliers. In addition, you may only access and use the Service with a dynamic Internet Protocol ("IP") address that adheres to the dynamic host configuration protocol ("DHCP"). You may not access or use the Service with a static IP address or using any protocol other than DHCP unless you are subject to a Service plan that expressly permits otherwise.
You must ensure that your activity (including, but not limited to, use made by you or others of any Personal Web Features) does not improperly restrict, inhibit, or degrade any other user's use of the Service, nor represent (in the sole judgment of Comcast) an unusually large burden on the network. In addition, you must ensure that your activities do not improperly restrict, inhibit, disrupt, degrade or impede Comcast's ability to deliver the Service and monitor the Service, backbone, network nodes, and/or other network Services.

Thank you, we will now go dedicate our lives to understanding this, so we will never make an inaccurate joke about TS again.
Because they're not crafstmen, they're drones.
Well, theoretically.
Because they're _not_ as good (better). Opera is better than all of them, I've tried them all. If you disagree with me, you must be an idiot or a moron, at least; worst case, a terrorist.
Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it's a stupid idea.
The two moderators from Norway thanked you.

If the data don't match the hypothesis, change the data. If the study doesn't say what we want, do another study.

Yeah, if you look at population trends, it's pretty clear the Germans are committed to dying off without offspring. They're already culturally dead.
Ha ha ha, very funny.
That Straw Man is bigger than the Sta-Puft Marshmallow Man.
One sequel that didn't suck was _Slashdot II: Revenge of the Humorless Nerds_.
It _is_ a real word. Check it out right here.

The XBox will be a PC. Except like with Apple, all proprietary hardware/OS.

Sorry, there are other reasons, too: Do Re Mi, Boodle, and Benjamins.
No, not everyone is into the money. But it's counterculture to be so.

No, they're finite but unlimited.
Because it was funny. If we have to _explain_ the joke, it's not funny anymore. Then you wonder, why was this modded funny?
What? TiVo has Intellectual Property? All together now, slashdotters (kneejerkers): "TiVo must die!"
Might try: The story of America is the story of noble aspirations overtaken by a hard-core huckster reality.
You're an emaciated-looking slob?
