What You Can't Say

Now feminist dogma is that men are evil, that every "macho" characteristic are bad. And it both enforces unrealistic feminisation of men and masculinisation of women.
Thank you. Most women (or men) that I know or have interacted with saying they are feminists are actually female emasculinists. Basically it is the idea that women can act like men, instead of the concept that women can enjoy their gender and sexuality. Strippers, porn actresses and Madonna fall into my book of women who enjoy thier gender and sexuality and are not stifled by men. Feminists would say different, but if a woman feels free enough to express and enjoy her femininity and still maintain a healthy self image, I think that's a true feminist.
It's the amount of melodies and counter-melodies being played by different instruments. It's tha harmonic version of cacophony. A drum playing a beat is not a full sound. Add a tambourine, snare, guitar, bass guitar, keyboard, playing integrated melodies/percussion and you have "fullness of sound".
Nobody wants to pay the price of a good used car for an electric scooter, no matter how hard it is to tip over. You can buy a bike for a whole lot less.
Plus, ya know, "Hey, that's my Segway!" does not elicit the same response as, "Hey, that's my bike!" when someone rides by on your stolen kit.
The first, and possibly most important, has been the lack of anything like MS Outlook for the Linux platform.
Lotus Notes couldn't save OS/2, I doubt an "Outlook" style application is causing a holdup in switching to Linux.
Make something easy for your run-of-the-mill Joe to code halfway useful applications in
Yup, you're right, anything Joe Sixpack will make with VB is only halfway useful. I took an MS VB course when VB 5 came out. The bulk of the course was how to write applications that accessed databases. Apparently that's all MS's VB customers were doing. Well, that and creating AOHell.
Better yet, provide easy ways of migrating legacy VB/VBA code to it
Visual Basic for Applications is what has caused the worst security issues in anything Microsoft has done. I doubt anyone making a Linux application has any interest in recreating that nightmare. The bulk of useful features that VBA has can be replicated in a web browser with JAVA Script.
He says Linux on the desktop is the only part he cares about
Yeah, and Mr. Torvalds also had a little rant about Linux being the kernel and nothing else. I think he's running out of VC money. X11 needs to be replaced. Linus or someone with as much influence needs to standardise a desktop API. Gnome and KDE need to lock out using window managers with their enviornments and just allow "skins" (widgets stay in the same place with same general shape, just colour/texture changes).
The biggest problem with Linux period is that there are no standards, and the ones that are there are causing problems moving forward (X11). That's great if you're doing anything specialised, then Linux really just IS the kernel. People do not want to go to a Linux box at work and have it work differently than the Linux box at the library, school, home, etc.
I wish Linux developers would start trying to rip off the Mac instead of POS Windows. For chrissakes, just read Apple's Human Interface Guidelines.
So as long as I get an anonymous shopping card, who cares if the store wants to track purchasing trends, if it's going to make the shopping experience better (and I loath supermarkets - mainly because I can never find what I'm looking for without having to traverse half the store)?
Customers who purchased Crispy Chips also purchased: Creamy Brand Dip, Zesty Salsa.
70% of customers who purchased Crispy Chips say they didn't like them.
50% of cutomers who didn't like Crispy Chips say they like Crunchy Brand Chips better.
Sounds great to me, same way I was all for how Amazon.com does it.
It occurred to me, as I was reading this article, that in the Shopping Experience of the Future(TM), we're moving increasingly towards a society where we don't have to interact with any other people.
No, we're moving towards a society where we don't have to have mundane interactions with people. I'm all for that.
lease post again when it's your job that has been automated away
It's unskilled labor, and no one said any of those people had to take jobs that anyone (and obviously even a computer) can do. Get a different unskilled labor job. Next you'll tell me how vending machines are evil because they destroyed the corner drugstore.
Go to school, get a loan or grant or scholarship and go to college, and stop crying to me because you're not intelligent enough or too lazy to have a job that requires skill.
That hurts a bit, but my reaction is to say that AOL doesn't need my mail. But what happens when ISPs start to enforce no-server limitations?
Then we have a glorious return to mom and pop ISPs and a sectioned off part of the internet where there's only people intelligent enough to get to it, just like when the internet started.
I'm all for the average Joe being able to use the internet, I just don't want to have to deal with all the pop-ups, spam, and such that are directed at that lowest common denominator.
HFS+ is "case-aware" in that it understands the difference between capital and lowercase letters. It is not, however, case-sensitive. You cannot name a file "MyFile" and "myfile" in the same folder. This makes sense. Apple never intentionally confuses users. A folder full of "MyFile, Myfile, myFile, myfile" is nothing but a disaster from usability standpoint.
So my question is, is gene therapy dangerous? If it is, then it probably should be banned. But if not, then why not allow it? At some point, doesn't it seem kind of arbitrary which things are allowed and which are not?
It all boils down to doing things that religious persons consider to be the things only "God" can do. It really frightens these people that maybe "God" doesn't exist or doesn't exist in the capacity that that know it to be.
Religious protesters trying to ban in vitro fertilization used to say in vitro babies would be born without souls.
You obviously have never seen heterosexual porn which is basically devoid of anything resembling an attractive man, lest some "straight" guy find himself turned on by a good-looking guy and have a homo moment.
How often do you need to break the 4GB memory barrier? Sure, years down the road these limitations (especially the memory) will be problems... but for right now, why get all hyped over 64-bit when it will do nothing but double the size of everything?
Of course if I was used to using a PC anymore I would probably think something similar. However since I use, and have more and more friends that use, Macs I have a different view.
My G4 is maxed out with 1.5 GB of RAM. I have just begun playing around with MPEG2 video. When creating a 4.6 GB DVD, it's pretty average for me to completely eat up that 1.5GB and have to start using swap. Two memory manufacturers (Samsung and someone else) have announced 4GB RAM modules. With some of Apple's prime markets being digital video and effects and scientific markets, the ability to break the RAM limit alone is worthwhile enough reason to go to 64-bit.
You do know that only congress has the power to declare war right? The president can only do "police actions"
Tha ability to start a war and the ability to call it a war officially don't really matter. Vietnam was not a war. It was a police action. Desert Storm was not a war. Really? It looks like a duck and it sounds like a duck.
Hey, our troops are fighting for us across the ocean, lets not support them.
No, our troops are fighting for George Bush's ego. He said himself it was a personal vendetta because of his father.
You voted, your leader chose to go to war, what is your problem?
You could be a politician. To begin with, 64% of registered voters voted this last presidential election. It was a record. As such, Bush was not voted president by popular election, and strangely enough, the problem with the electoral vote came from none other than Florida, where Jeb Bush is. The problem is the president doesn't need any backing to declare war. It's one of only two things the president has any actual power to do, that and veto. Even if 100% of Americans were against the war, Bush could still declare war because he is commander in chief.
Also, hey, our economy is doing poorly, lets deface some corporate sites in a hope they lose millions to lots sales and extra security cost
There's no such thing as "lost sales". You cannot lose what you have yet to achieve. There is only lost opportunity. In a healthy or otherwise economy, executives eat up the largest chunk of profit of any company. You want to spur the economy? Lobby Fortune 500 companies' executives to take pay cuts instead of laying off workers.
I drive a 1995 Mercury Tracer and I get between 30 and 35 miles per gallon. 10 more miles per gallon for a "modern" hybrid car seems utterly unimpressive. Basically as long as you're not driving some god awful SUV you should get about the same. My friend's 2000 VW Jetta gets almost 40 MPG.

I went 64 bit last year. Ho hum, old news, move along.
Yes, he doesn't understand how to get the record labels on his side at all.

This one, these two, this one (and probably most of Creative's new portable adio).
I'm sure there's a lot more. AAC is an open format, it's based on MPEG4 and the licensing fees are nothing like WMA.

Mac OS does not now, nor has it ever, have a "maximize" button. It has a "zoom" button: A control that toggles a window between its standard state and its user state.

The computer provides for you and makes sure you are happy.
If you are not happy, you must not love the computer enough. That's treason. Treason is punishable by summary execution.
