IE on Mac OS X is not the same program as IE on Windows. If anything, it shares the name and that's about it. I dropped that abortion of a web browser into my trash can after trying it out on my company's web mail (Outlook Web Access). The Windows version of IE gives you all the little features that make OWA usable. The Mac version of IE gives me the same vanilla interface to OWA that you get when using Safari or Firefox (Firefox on Windows or Mac).
"the Jehovah's Witness thing may or may not be true; I haven't tried to seriously research it. but it's irrelevant because PJ has the ability (desire? need?) to separate her personal and professional lives."
I think a JW (based upon the ones I know personally) would have trouble with the following words being uttered in a courtroom: "All rise for the Honorable Judge Smith."
I just tried that out on a 12 page letter in Word...what does it do exactly? I saw the bold formatting disappear from the cover page, but couldn't see any other changes.
Apple didn't invent podcasting and has no control over it. It is named after the most popular audio player out there so that the masses will immediately get a general idea of what it's about.
"What's with all the censorship? If you have raised your child properly it should be able to distinguish what is good and what isn't."
Let me know when a child is finally raised "properly." I don't even have kids and know that that's bullshit. Kids are not perfect. You can only teach them so much, the rest comes down to life experience. Parents should be their primary influence, but they must interact with other kids at times, some of which might not be angels.
The fact that David "Snow White" Caruso doesn't get burned to a crisp in the Floridian sun will forever secure CSI:Miami's position in the world of science fiction.
"It is the nature of a publicly traded corporation to have full-disclosure to shareholders and potential shareholders. And since it is impossible for a company to share information with millions of shareholders at a time, the press (among others) serve as a proxy."
Even as a public company, Google does not have to talk to the media ("press"...how quaint). As long as they submit all their major announcements (Form 8-K), insider sales (Form 4) and financial statements (Forms 10-K and 10-Q) to the SEC, which you can then download from www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml, they're fulfilling their obligations to disclose information.
Breeders are contributing to the supply of dogs when there is already an egregious surplus out in the streets. They are part of the problem. Aside from legitimate work dogs (ie bomb sniffers & seeing-eye), *very few* selections of purebreds are not driven by the buyer's ego, IMO.
"The good effect of cloning is that by advancements in the procedures it may be possible to eliminate some defects that show up in various types of animals thereby improving the breeds."
The only way to get rid of problems like hip dysplacia (sp?) in hounds and respiratory problems found in some bulldog varieties is to eliminate the breed by interbreeding to introduce more genetic variety.
"Lets be frank they eat Dogs there, and they LIKE them, we have a fellow here where I work that says the White or lighter ones tasted better than Darker ones, black being the least tasty, and you have to kill them right (cats also) otherwise the blood taints the meat."
From what I've read on the parallel thread on Fark, the eating of dogs is a dying tradition that young people are avoiding./notice how I cleverly worded my post to avoid saying "In South Korea, only old people...":)
I hold nothing but extreme vitriol towards people that breed dogs when there are so many cats and dogs that are out on the streets and in shelters needing good homes. Same goes towards any pet store that sells cats and dogs.
People, please spay or neuter your pets and don't allow your ego to perpetuate the suffering of homeless cats and dogs.
"I don't understand people who refuse to socialize with co-workers."
Because if the shit hits the fan, I don't want the tidal wave from one side to hit the other. I think it's largely an American thing for co-workers wanting to be up one another's ass when it comes to personal life. I don't mind if people tell me about their lives and ask me questions, but I certainly will never volunteer any info.
"It's kinda like making a business selling air...."
Bullshit. A bunch of people went to a studio one day and put in a day's work. You're paying for that specific work. However, you are free to make your own music or get it from people who want to spread their music for free.
I imagine that Bittorrent would work best economically where you pay some fixed amount to be a member of a closed Bittorrent network with exclusive content. The service could then easily track who is downloading what, then portion out your (say) monthly fee among the content producers.
I followed the link...fascinating little device. The article shows a picture of the device saying "Door closed 45 mins. ago." After getting one of those little monitors, I think you'll certainly be making a run for the border if you're not already there.
Let's get the obligatory Family Guy quote out of the way:
Auctioneer: Our first item, the golden bikini that Carrie Fischer wore in Return of the Jedi Quagmire: $50! Auctioneer: She had 9 STD`s Quagmire: $45 Auctioneer: And when we found her she wet herself. Quagmire: $50!!!

Yeah, have fun trying to squeeze $$$ out of white trash.

"As far as I know, no arcologies have been built."
I think the John Hancock Tower in Chicago comes pretty close...living quarters, offices, grocery stores, but I'm not saying it's cheap.
And the award for most pedantic statement of the day goes to....

"Yeah Drew Barrymore won't speak to me either despite all the flowers, postcards, and pictures I send."
There was a guy in a similar situation with Jodie Foster. Why don't you try what he did? It made him famous!

Now I've got this funny picture in my head of a guy being beaten with a single whale sperm. Thanks :)
"First of all there are a lot of moral and religious objections to cloning a human."
Wow, they had issues with cloning back when all the major relgions were getting started thousands of years ago?
"I cant get my kids to eat it at all, deer, squirrel or rabbit neither."
Mmmmm...venison (deer meat) is freaking delicious no matter how it's prepared! I get a little queezy about rodents, though.

That or her scheduling a rendezvous with the pool boy...and I'm not talking about the peer discovery protocol aka zeroconf ;-)

Bullshit. A bunch of people went to a studio one day and put in a day's work. You're paying for that specific work. However, you are free to make your own music or get it from people who want to spread their music for free.
In fact, you can find some really powerful magnets right in your hard drive to erase data...oh, wait.
