How much would others even WANT to know about me when it becomes a historical archive? Does anyone REALLY need to see that incident in the elevator after Taco Bells?
I'm not sure I'd call them "newsrooms". To my knowledge, they've never hidden the fact that they are biased. I don't see O'Reilly, Hannity, and Rush as newspeople. I see them as very famous and well funded bloggers who spout on TV and radio as well as the Internet.
I agree, it sure looks to me like McCain is going to be our next president. Obama's preacher is a racist, a white person voting for him would be like a black person voting for a white man whose preacher is a Klansman
Agreed! There is no way in hell I would vote for Obama's preacher for President.
Agreed! Simplicity has nothing to do with language success. A couple thousand years ago, Latin was the dominant language, and nobody ever called Latin simple. It ruled because of the military/economic clout of the Roman Empire.
Complaining about how engineering is hard work is like someone studying to be a proctologist and coming home from the first day at work and complaining about all the assholes
What REALLY sucks is when you're complaining about all the assholes and you're NOT a proctologist!
Unless the public thinks that it WON'T stop, and they are fighting for their very survival, and the only way to stop it is to kill every last Palestinian.
In my youth, I jumped on new stuff more quickly, and I often regretted it. Often the only thing good about a new product is the marketing. It's often easier to use something that's outdated than to use something buggy. And even if my outdated product is also buggy, at least I know where the bugs are.
3. As for "I see god in my children": hey, nice for you. That doesn't even rise to the level of an argument (which one would have hoped you could recognize, since you're all old and mature and wise and stuff). There's no difference between this magical thinking and the "I don't understand it so it must be magic" that children engage in when they observe magicians. (Apologies, of course, if you merely meant that the sex was so good that you "saw god"--you know, like Cheech and Chong did when they got high and played Sabbath on 78.)
I don't know about about the OP's children, but my GF's nieces made me a believer. After all, if God exists, so does Satan.
For daily use, Fedora is just as easy as Windows (I don't know about SuSe). The problems are the initial install (the simple act of having to partition your HD will scare off 90% of people), the apps (gnucash is no Quicken), and the drivers (my stuff works under Linux, but who knows about the new webcam that Aunt Tilly got at WorstBuy).
Some people stay because of Office. Some stay because of some oddball Visual Basic app they can't live without. I stay because of Quicken. All it takes is ONE must-have feature to keep one on Windows.
Why do they need to be comparable to Windows or OSX? A few years ago, I used Xfce on my old machine. Maybe it wasn't as pretty as KDE/Gnome. Maybe it wasn't suitable for MOST users. But it sure ran fast on my box with 64M RAM. Try running XP/Vista on THAT dinosaur!
And to be fair, it would be really hard to let people customize as deeply as they need to without letting them muck with the deep details of your OS.
Only because of how MS made its OS. Some OS's *cough*Linux*cough*BSD*cough* let you choose among dozens of different UI's without messing with the kernel.
One: China is just too damn big for us to pick on. If we would cut them off they wouldn't care. It wouldn't hurt them enough.
Not true. It would hurt them plenty. But it would also hurt us. Financially, we are in a MAD situation with China. Either of us could blow the other's economy, but at a prohibitive cost.
Ask yourself, WHY is it neccesary to be at the office 12 hours a day? Why do you have a 3 hour commute?? Something is very wrong with modern society if THAT is the "norm".

I would trust a Wiki researcher to operate on my brain. Is that a sign that I NEED brain surgery?

Especially with that cape. We saw how dangerous capes are in The Incredibles.
That implies that it's worth coming to the other 364 days.

Actually, it does. Only, instead of distracting 10 year old students, they would distract double-digit IQ administrators.

Yes.
Well, they could always link again in the dupe.

"Hi, Cro! I have some V!aGra for you for only $9.95. And for an extra $4.99, I'll throw in some hygine products for Mrs. Magnon"
Not if you keep in mind that Earth is only 6,000 years old.
Is she hawt? If so, is she willing to date an overweight, pale-skinned geek who hasn't been outside his parents basement in years?
If she meets those criteria, who cares what she believes? I say go for it!
But Microsoft's new user interfaces are WHY Moore's law is needed. Without faster hardware, how could MS come up with such winners as Vista and Bob?

OTOH, we can do without good cigars.

Or until they figure out WHY those women are virgins with nothing better to do than to wait for some loser to blow himself up.
