Yahoo has a bunch of interesting features, like free email and games.yahoo.com. But Google has froogle.google.com, which is a pricewatch-like item price search, and answers.google.com, in which you can pay to have your question answered by expert researchers, or if you're an expert at websearching you can make some money for yourself. Not to mention news.google.com, the robotic news delivery agent.
Come on, people. He's a member of a terrorist sleeper cell. I love how people think that merely holding up your hand and reciting a federal poem makes someone into an above-reproach icon of innocentness.
Let's be real, who do you think people have more loyalty to, their religion or their adopted land of citizenship?
Who cares? The entire idea of an objective media is completely at odds with reality, and incidents like these merely serve to trumpet the media's own idea of itself. What the photographer did was entirely reasonable, however the media likes to pretend that they'd never show a doctored photograph, with the ridiculous conclusion that if photodoctoring was done often they'd eventually show a picture of George Bush shaking hands with Hitler someday.
Look, either you trust your media outlet, or you don't. If you trust them, it's OK to retouch meaningless pictures with a bit of photoshop. If you don't, photo doctoring doesn't make a bit of a difference. This whole story just makes everyone briefly question their trust of the media, and of course the media uses its powers to immediately crush any question by firing the footsoldier who pulled the trigger.
Oh, boring old chlorine. Too bad it "works", as those boring old engineers like to say. They should invest in an unproven, tricky technique to treat the water. That way, you could have "total" alternate energy, instead of just "partial". Totally tubular, dude!
Switzerland...hahaha...good luck. You have a better chance of getting Japanese citizenship, than Swiss. Especially being American...I don't know if you've heard, but in Europe it's very fashionable to automatically reject anything American these days. Americans can expect to face public ridicule and private scorn from Europeans, due to no other reason than their nationality.
"the original Castle Wolfenstien"? The original Castle Wolfenstein was created eight years before iD Software existed. The original Castle Wolfenstein was created by Silas Warner.
No, you're not alone, that's what most people think. Movies for movie watchers, and anime for anime watchers. The rest of us could really care less about what makes people in these two narrow interest fields excited.
Crap. And would you believe I spent the last five months or so teaching English? I know (or perhaps the correct tense should be 'knew') the whole less/fewer thing by heart.
The world should have a common language. Why is it of concern if old, decrepit languages are put out of their misery? I'm sure scholars, academics, and other out-of-touch people who have never shed sweat in their lives are interested in such things, but the less languages on Earth, the better.
How rich, for developers to lecture ME on how to properly toady to them. It doesn't matter how politely I submit my bug report, it still gets ignored with the classic phrase, "we are concentrating our resources in other directions", which is programmer-ese for "can't you see we have better (i.e. more fulfilling for the developer) things to do than fix our tiny bugs!"
It's as if the entire world is against the U.S. It's not, France alone thwarted the U.S. from getting U.N. coverage. And now the French want to have their cake and eat it too, by saying they'll enter the war if Iraq uses WMD? I THOUGHT SADDAM DIDN'T HAVE WMD, FRANCE!
It's really, really odd how so much breath is expended on how the U.S. is ignoring the U.N. and NOT ONE WORD ABOUT IRAQ'S VIOLATIONS.
GPS is a system for guiding U.S. military weapons to their targets. Nothing more. Gold medal for ignorance, huh? SA degrades accuracy so that it's useless for weapon targeting. Civilian users will hardly notice a difference.
I'm surprised a non-American can be so ungrateful. No wonder they're so hated inside America.
You know, GPS is a military technology. It's used to guide weapons to their targets. To bury your head in the sand to the military used for this technology, in return for the spiteful satisfaction of telling the US gov to "get lost" is simply foolish.
You are aware, of course, that GPS is first and foremost a targeting system for cruise missiles? Developed for one reason and one reason only, to turn the Soviet military into liquid green glass? The civilian applications are an afterthought.
This, as in so many things provided by America, is taken for granted by Europeans. "Oh, dear...they can't reintroduce Selective Availibility...let's pass a UN resolution against it! Oh, wait, I forgot, we Europeans decided it's OK to flagrantly violate UN resolutions you don't agree with."
What the hell are you talking about? DirecTV is the only company involved. Obviously you have no idea how the DirecTV descrambler works, Mr. "STB". And yes, it is victimless. Like I said, you can have 100 channels of PPV and there's still nothing worth watching.
Cable descramblers are great! My friend has one for DirecTV. He gets every single channel, all the pornos, all the pay-per-views. There's still nothing on.
I thought it was strange that the story submitter said, "I know my company has been waiting for a long time for this because our customers absolutely refused to use beta releases of this product." It's as if he's surprised that customers don't have the same standards as his personal linux box. Sure, they released a new tiny rev today, let's compile it and put it into production!

I thought yahoo already used google's search in their site.

It's a good thing that Bush contrived to start the war on 9/11. Otherwise he'd have to have been content being an anonymous caretaker president.

I still hate them for installing into \SIERRA without giving you any options. I want the thing in my directory, dammit!
Tell me, how does the U.S. tell the difference between an Iraqi general's satellite phone transmissions, and a reporter's?
You had me going for a minute, until you quoted Noam Chomsky.
Crap. And would you believe I spent the last five months or so teaching English? I know (or perhaps the correct tense should be 'knew') the whole less/fewer thing by heart.
Why are you using a guidance system for military weapons, to make money with your taxi?

Man, I never had the thought that one day, 24-bit color would be called "crappy".
