Possibly, but how much can the difference be? Are the stats for IE actually 83%? 80%? Are they as low as 75%? I don't think it matters whether the final numbers are 75% or 85%, the vast majority still use IE. I'm forced to at work, but luckily I can go home and use Galeon.
Well said. You just described my brother's marriage. Married a doctor's daughter, had a crappy marriage, then his wife talked him into having a baby, thinking this would keep him in the marriage. I really feel sorry for my nephew sometimes, because I know he is a very bright kid, but he had to wait an extra year before starting school, because he just couldn't pay attention - the result of being raised by TV and toys.
she was distancing herself from Earth Final Conflict because it was godawful and was nothing like Gene's notes and outline anymore, and that she was also stepping back from Andromeda because things were going well, and she had asked Sorbo (who is taking on some producer responsibilities) to keep an eye on the show and keep her informed. That was several months ago. I wonder what she would say now.

Sorry...couldn't resist: I'm sure you meant to say lambast.
But you do have a point, to an extent, that the design is going to influence future consoles from Sony and Nintendo. Nintendo has already reactively defended their decision not to support playing movie DVD's.
That's not necessarily wierd. People tend to think that if a two-engine plane loses one engine, it can just use the other to get to safety. One engine is a huge loss, especially on takeoff. The airplane won't be able to gain altitude (at least not quickly), and the plane will tend to veer in one direction. Depending on what point in the takeoff and climb-out the engine failed or fell off, the plane may have stalled (lost lift) and been too close to the ground to recover. NPR reported that this plane was in a 60 degree dive when it hit, so that is entirely possible.
It's amazing how fluid facts are at this stage in a story. I just got an email from my site director saying the same thing, that the plane was an Airbus A300 outbound to the DR. Everywhere else is reporting it as an inbound 767.
"and the fact that it is anti-establishment does not say anything about ir's correctness."
Had you read the book, or at least the foreword, you would know that Adams does say something about it's correctness - he says it ain't. He specifically says he isn't purporting anything in the book to be true.
Why is it that when someone says "Imagine if..." someone else has to say "That's false!"? Duh...it's imaginary.
That's okay. Adams says that what is written in the book is not meant to be put forward as though it were true, or that it is even what he believes to be true. The book is simply a thought experiment designed to make you think about things that are generally accepted unquestioningly.

The lamest toys for 2001.
Think Joke.
Sorry, I guess the Funny Bone is turned off.
Or you can't figure jokes out without smileys.
Dude - lighten up. It's a joke.
God forbid someone should make a joke about the French language.
I'm tired.
What's up people? This was supposed to be a lighthearted joke. Now everyone's twatting and shitting all over the place!
I'll leave the mop and bucket right here.
Ugh, I'm tired.
Silly Europeans, can't come up with a decent acronym.
Oh sure, someone will probably say it means something in another language...
Ugh, I'm tired.
"KPMG/We're strong as can be/A dream of power and energy/We go for the goal/Together we hold/On to our vision of global strategy..."

You. Are. An. Idiot.

Are you a certified member of "Generation D"?
Maybe, but Amtrak is broke. And neither the French nor Japanese have ever tried the equivalent of running high-speed trains from New York to L.A.

Well, maybe. But eyewitnesses have been known to say anything if it will get them on the radio/TV/newspaper.
I'm going to wait and see if any other news outlets have any info on this.

Not necessarily.
In fact, any kind of misanthropic behavior will do.
And pizza, sushi, and Chipotle burritos are viable substitutes for those that don't like curry.

No, that WAS a troll.
