Wikipedia has pretty much adhered in the past to freezing pages where the neutrality of the subject is disputed. The pages are frozen to the edit before the dispute. Being open source, it only has to be based on what the people using it think, not everyone, everywhere.
It's very hard to write the news without bias because you lose the human aspect. To me, the most important part of the news is how people react to it, which is why I like, and think most people like, Slashdot so much.
I love Wikipedia and regularly read it and often contribute. I hope this goes over.
Of course you're only familiar with the subculture that's violent. You've proven my point most exquisitely. No, really, you don't keep having to tell me I'm right.
The Japanese cultural phenomenon of "cute" is the same cultural phenomenon of "tough" that America has. We put blood and gore and screaming and machismo into everything, and they put bright colours and funny songs and talking animals in everything.
I find it a refreshing alternative. Frankly I find the "Grand Theft Auto" mindset dull and primitive.
But I think you'll find that in terms of percentage by class that are infected with HIV, the rich and poor share a similar proportion.
Whooooooooa, where, exactly, are you getting this total bullshit. I mean, it stinks just like your ass where you pulled it from. The largest majority of people with HIV is most certainly people below what the US determines as the Federal Poverty Level.
"If you can afford it" is not tacked onto "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
I concede, you're right. But their rants really do sound the same you have to agree. Andy Hertzfeld is the only one who has even TRIED to do anything since then.
it's impossible for any human to memorize hundreds of usernames and passwords
A Secure Keychain
To make it easy to manage the daunting number of passwords and permissions intrinsic to network computing, Mac OS X includes a Keychain. The Keychain stores all your information to log onto file servers, ftp servers and Web servers and to use encrypted disk images. Mac OS X automatically adds your.Mac account information to your Keychain. When you log in to Mac OS X, the system opens your Keychain. You don't have to enter your user name and passwords to access this data. You can set Mac OS X to lock your Keychain when the system sleeps or is inactive for a time. The system will ask you for your password the next time you try to access secure data. Other users on the system cannot access your Keychain or its data.
This comes from a guy who believes that *mice are evil*. His idea of a perfect interface is tons of keyboard keys.
Issue Seven: Disk Drive Nazi
I think there's some old wounds there for him on this. Removable drives are something Windows has never handled elegantly.
Bruce Tognazzi is a has been. Not so much a has been, more like a never was. "Hey I was important at one time!" Yes, as a group. Including Andy Hertzfeld (sp?) and Susan Kare and the Steves. You didn't do it alone. You haven't done shit since. If Bruce Tognazzi is so great, and he has such awesome ideas, why hasn't he commissioned some programmers to create the Ultimate Linux Desktop. All he cares about is the interface, seems like a natural.
Andy Hertzfeld found out the same thing this guy found out. You ain't that great. Eazl was not revolutionary and it wasn't all that useful. So you peaked in your 20's. It happens. So Steve Jobs is still making you look like a tard. It happens. Bill Gates got over it, you should, too.
$150 is really expensive for a cell phone? Are you buying the creme de la merd when you buy your phone? The $50 five-year-old piece of junk they throw in? Really, I'm interested to know why a $150 phone is "really expensive". I got my T616 last year at $150 when I signed up for a plan and that was $150 off. I thought it was a good price.
I was referring to the western concept of "If I make a decision, it becomes an intrinsic truth". With past posts touting benefits of following the herd, I have no interest in your opinions. Don't bother to reply.
Don't force people to buy songs they don't want (by bundling them (aka album-filler) with a few good songs
I've been interested for a while to see how music will change in the future when downloads start to come on par with record sales. I've always wondered how this affects artists (or producers or whoever) writing the material when they realise that only the singles are selling.
Even great bands like U2 have better albums than others by varying standards where I wouldn't want the whole album (realised this when I was browsing the Complete U2 on iTunes).
They make it sound like everyone's going to drop their cable services and rely on the downloading and recording of one lone pirate with an eye patch and a

Why buy them when you could download them? Did you choose to support the show, or are you rich enough that it didn't make any difference whether you downloaded them or bought them?
Because, no matter what anyone says, computer CODECS stink rotten tampons when it comes to quality. Bulky media CODECS are always better. I downloaded most of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force season one episodes and except for a few XviD AVI's, the quality is not as good as an MPEG2 encoded DVD, which is why I own the DVDs.
I don't watch television in general. I don't have cable and get no reception on my TV, it's for games and movies. I happened to see an episode of ATHF at a friend's house and was hooked. I never would have bought the DVDs if I hadn't downloaded the shows first. I bought the second season without downloading any episodes. I didn't need to at that point. I was confident in the product.
I would pay per show to watch TV shows without commercials. When do I get that choice?
There are over-riding themes throughout all his films:
-Strong Female Character
-Use and misuse of technology
-The strength of human spirit in adversity
-Self sacrafice for the greater good
-The struggle of technology subsuming humanity
-The hubris of man who think (and usually a he) they have nature and technology under control
So basically Every Sci-Fi Movie Ever. Sounds more like a template than a resume. You could say the same thing about Lucas or Spielberg.
I have moved cities once every 3 years since graduating high school 10 years ago. I travel a lot for my work now. I keep in contact with past friends over internet and phone. If you have to be in the same city as your friends to stay friends, well, I feel bad for you.
It's a great vacation to go see my friends or meet them in other vacation destinations. I have some friends who I chat with daily online and have only met them in person the first time we met.
It seems we have different ideas of what "roots" and "friendship" are, I just suppose mine are less superficial.

Cute waste of bandwidth and if I were deaf using the internet or had my sound muted it would be completely useless.

You seem to have the attitude that just because some people believe that IP is real and there are laws, that everyone should hold that view.

Yes, because everyone knows you just have to harass people to get them to spend their money on your product.
You mean they've stopped crapflooding the stores/airways with teenage one-hit wonders?
TiVOs come in red?
Oh, you must be on AOL. THE WEB IS NOT THE INTERNET. I don't get ads in my e-mail, FTP, P2P, or IM.
