One day Jesus and Moses are out on the heavenly golf course. Moses hits a wicked slice, right into a water hazard. He parts the water, retrieves his ball, and hits a great shot right onto the green. Jesus tees up, and hits into the same water hazard. Jesus confidently walks out onto the water, but sinks like a rock. Moses helps him out of the water, coughing and spluttering. "What happened?" says Moses. Jesus replies, "I didn't have these damn holes in my feet last time."
That's because the stock market's dirty little secret is that it's just a huge gambling house. "Negative news" means it's time to sell short and "positive news" means it's time to buy. Go check out any of the daytrader boards and you'll see it.
So, you and the article seem to credit the invention of the 3.5" floppy to Apple. It was another company that "invented" the technology, Apple just shipped it. And, I remember at the time, the floppy prices were way more expensive than standard floppies. Typical Apple.
I was referring to professional environments, not companies that have a group of hackers maintaining a homogeneous grab bag of servers where only the man who installed it understands it.
The corporate world isn't geeks and freaks installing linux. You buy a whole system that includes hardware, software, and support. When the machine breaks, you don't start playing with.conf files and testing it, you call the manufacturer and they fix it, or tell you how. You wank with the machine, and it'll void your warranty.
I know, it's a long way from downloading ISO's from bittorrent. But the business world does things differently (surprise).
And when American soldiers go nuts and abuse prisoners, it's an indictment of the entire American way of life, instead of the actions of "a few soldiers".
Actually, the UN keeps no troops of its own. Member nations contribute troops. The militaries of the respective nations should prosecute their soldiers for these sex crimes.
If I gave my little brother cash for his birthday, he'd spend it on drugs. If I give him a gift card for somewhere, he has to buy whatever the store sells.
They're great to give away as prizes. Lots of states have laws regarding cash. If you were having a raffle for cash, it would be gambling, but as long as you give away those walmarts, it's OK.
It's pretty tacky. It's the thought that counts, not the gift. Giving cash requires, as you say, no thought.
Also, cash is typically the gift of a senior to a junior. If my little brother tried to give me cash for my birthday, I'd just laugh at him, return it, and tell him to get a real gift or don't even try. I'd also be a bit offended for him not knowing this already.
In America, you can just push aside any "security" check and exit the store. If the store personnel want to stop you, that's false arrest and you can sue their asses off. Assuming you're not actually stealing anything, of course.
Ah, the classic open source fallacy. "Hey, I noticed there's a problem with XXX." "Well, fix it yourself, dumbass." "I'm not a [programmer|developer|professional writer]!" "Well then STFU."

I don't really care about this thread, I just thought it would be wrong if I didn't post anything here.

Let's keep art away from the commoners - I don't want my opening parties spoiled by mouth-breathers.
Wow...you're reloading the page way too often, man. I think we have a Mac zealot among us, people! Don't panic, stay calm.
Making bootable CDs is a pain. Not exactly as easy as "format a: /s".

It's an equality. It would be like saying you're biracial if your dad is Chinese and your mom is ABC (american-born chinese).
*Sigh*

Did OBL sign the Geneva convention? Why should he be subject to it?
Where's the oil in Bosnia?

I can't quite parse the two sentences above. It sounds like you're arguing against your own point. And losing.
His "crimes" were not against humanity, they were against Americans. Big difference there.
Your ideas are intriguing, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
Really. I don't see a single one that doesn't relate to this theme. Wait...there's one...#23. How'd that sneak in?
Seriously...radio?
A few appear to be missing, notably, "UN nations opposing overthrow of Saddam found to have taken bribes from same".

Strikes again.
