No, never "not on purpose" but I have noticed it. I've spoken with many people who've had an accent and found that communication sped up tremendously when either of us did a little bit of "adopting" the other's terminology and pronounciation. In fact, I see this happen between people who have the same accent; they will both shift into a common subset of words when talking, so communication speeds up a bit. One person will say "bike" and another will say "motorcycle" and soon they will refer to the object as "motorcycle." It's just sort of something people do when speaking to others.
Windows Media hasn't taken over; it's one of many formats supported, so you can say "it's popular" but you can't say they dominate (not in the public sector). Commercial video players support DVD primarily, but some additionally support CD-R+WMV. Commercial audio players support CD (RedBook I believe) and CD-R+MP3 primarily, but some support CD-R+WMA.
Sparky will take over about as much as Windows Media has taken over. There will probably be a brief spurt of activity and it will stagnate.
Unless they support Linux, in which case I will gladly accept Flash's decline in exchange for that much more acceptance of Linux by Microsoft.

RedHat had very little quality assurance on their normal Linux distribution, so you weren't getting as much stability as you think. RedHat also had less-than-modern community involvement (especially lately), and looking at Fedora's web site, it looks like they will have MUCH more community involvement than RedHat *ever* did, so my feeling is that Fedora will be FAR more stable than RedHat *ever* was.
They're one of the few GPL-oriented companies to really hit success. This is what we should all wish for; that our efforts in the open-source world creates thriving businesses and jobs.
Excellent work. Almost makes me teary-eyed to see our baby grow up so big and strong!
Yeah, that scene was cut from the original, but some really spotty footage of it was released as a DVD extra. Scott blended it back in nicely; they must have done some digital enhancement to get it back in because on the DVD the sound was terrible and the image was sort of scratchy. It worked out great though in this release. It looks like he went with a yellow wash down below to match the yellow light hitting Ripley as she crawls back up.
You know, I don't know but I thought I noticed small differences too in this release. Of course, on the big screen, your brain focuses on different things that your eye catches, so who knows; maybe it was just the size and sound difference that makes such small things seem so changed.
It doesn't seem to make sense to me to edit "god damn" when it doesn't improve the rating, and considering the amount of gore and general horror, it really would seemed very trite. Again, who knows; I'd have to take notes and watch the DVD again hehe.
...the long-missing "cocoon" scene was edited back in brilliantly; now I know where Ripley was crawling up from when she returned to the escape pod! It fit perfectly; glad to see that scene put (back) in.
I think if you concoct it through Slashdot, it automatically becomes as uncool as can possibly be, but go ahead and sport the logo if it twists your cinnamon bun. Ignore the snickering.
...if the patent proves valuable, and they don't feel the need to compensate you directly, you should be viewed as an exceptionally good catch for some other company.
It's expensive when you have to trash your CD stock because they're unshippable, or when you have to ship CDs to all of your customers three times in two weeks after you release. Try it and I bet you will have all the empirical data you and your wallet need.
More than likely, the article had changed between the time your friend saw it and you saw it. One or both of your proxies are probably caching different versions of the web page, and now when you both go to that site, you both see two different versions of the web page.
It's highly unlikely your company has someone sitting around reading every web page requested through your proxy and quickly censoring it before allowing it to get to you.
It would be another feature for those of us who CAN use BIND properly, and yet another feature hidden away from those who cannot. Six of one, half dozen of the other; you can embed a web server into BIND and most people wouldn't notice.
Not my job. If I had time to read through every single reference posted here, I would have to change my status to "unemployed." I went off what the article poster wrote (gasp, shock at me for trusting the article poster!), and I keyed off a few things the poster said that led me astray.
But you're right, this is actually meant as a general-purpose system of identification, not an alternate way to resolve IPs.
We already have top-level domains for that sort of thing. The resource identifier system (http:, gopher:, etc.) are already in-use and they're NOT used as namespaces.
We don't need this sort of half-thought-out component to the domain name system. If you're going to do anything with resource identifiers, make a change to BIND to allow DN servers to map them to A records.
You know what's going to happen. People are going to register these namespaces and use them instead of domain names. Then we're going to have two parallel systems: the name.dom style and the space:name style.

How do you know this WASN'T an Apple commercial?
It's not about logic. This was a post about human behavior and tendencies. WHY people do it can't be explained away, especially not over slashdot.

...that explains the whole Graham Norton thing.
The slashdot crowd is probably far more knowledgable about prefabricated cakes and pies than prefabricated homes.

As if cell phone weren't bad enough, now I have to listen to some asshole trying to save a Word document as HTML.
Not to mention that governors don't stop fires. They're not even close to having god-like powers.

Fix bugs early; it's less expensive that way. =)
I prefer instability to inaction in circumstances such as arose with Verisign.
