... OS I've ever been able to install and use out of the box. People act like Windows does this.. but I've -never- had Windows detect my hardware.
And Windows comes with practically no software.
Geospacial networking is a neat and very human concept.
One of the things I love about Facebook is I can keep up with friends and acquantances that in the pre-Facebook world I would have simply lost touch with because of distance.
Anything to make distance a non-issue is fantastic.
Most large organizations accept electronic fund transfers. I pay all my bills online (apartment, car, electric, cable, dsl, and college loans (i have 4)) and only one of my college loans doesn't accept the transfer electronically. That one is mailed as a check instead.
Terminology is always subjective by it's very nature. We're arguing over what we CALL something. However, despite your ranting to the contrary, they did provide some objective limits to their subjective qualifications.;)
It doesn't have to just be kind of big, it has to be big enough to hold it's mass into a spherical shape. This is a very distinctive requirement, one that the vast majority of bodies can't pass.
The last one was added because the first two qualifications clearly added bodies that were not considered planets in the traditional sense to the list. It also shows a bit of stableness to the body's orbit which is arguable important to a star system.
The Chinese government can shut down their oeprations in China completely. The US government have given them a close eye and are considering putting requirements on companies that do business in China.
Read your quote again. Yahoo is saying that they cannot change Chinese policy. It is ridiculous that we expect a company to force the Chinese government to change. This is the dominion of national governments and the UN, not private industry.
Yahoo CEO Terry Semel... went on to say that Yahoo cannot change Chinese policy and that it needs help from the US government to do so.
He is completely right here. We are expecting private companies to fight a battle that Chinese citizens and/or the US government should be fighting. Yahoo has to play by the rules China sets up and it is absurd for any of us to expect otherwise. Their only other choice is to go home.
I fly all the time. It's not nearly as bad as people whine about. I can be through security and boarded within about 15mins in most cases. Of course, my name isn't Muhammad.
I routinely wear clothing anti-Bush slogans... this has the effect of rocketing me though EU security (and giving people a little smile)
If this is true, then I have alot less respect for the EU and their ability to effectively manage their own security.
I do remember once going to the US and the Germans were putting Americans through the full security kit and the rest of EU members through the standard security screening and then putting them on the same plane.)
A bit amusing, although I doubt this happens all the time.
1. You use Windows. Or at least you would have to in order to use uTorrent anyway. So anyone who was able to use the client has no problems running closed-source code.
2. uTorrent is plenty full-featured enough for most users or even power users. I would imagine only about 1-5% of Azureus' users would find that they were lacking a feature if they switched to uTorrent. It's ridiculous to think that buying ram for a bloated app is acceptable. Especially when you consider that it uses 10s to 100s of times the cpu and memory resources. That's insane.
I used Azureus forever and I have no qualms with it as a client. But I do have problems with the FUD (and yes I do mean FUD) that is spread by Azureus users about uTorrent.
On the upside, Windows has needed a major rewrite since about 1995, so things are looking up.
NT was the major rewrite you are referring to. It, was again, nearly completely revamped with Windows 2000. Despite popular disinformation to the contrary, Windows XP = Windows 2000 + new GUI + SP2 security changes. I believe Vista runs on a heavily.NET server kernel, but at the very least it is a derivative of NT and -not- 9X.
In any case, With this major of a rewrite, I'm expecting Vista to be the kind of fiasco that ME was. I'd strongly suggest that people wait at least until the first service pack before they put this thing in production.
ME was a roadbump more than anything. People were supposed to switch to Windows 2k, but uptake was slow and a decision was made to not market it to home consumers, hence Windows ME. There are far more expectations of Vista although it is beginning to look like it will contain little more than a new GUI.
This also does not address the difference between Commonwealth English and American English. American English speakers will get tripped up over "Apple are thinking of introducing a new iMac." while Commonwealth English speakers will get tripped up over "Apple is thinking of introducing a new iMac." Which are we to use? Because they are both opposing, and we can only select one. We will piss of one group of perscriptionists, it's guarenteed.
Silly argument. It's not a question of grammar, but of whether you consider a company to be a single entity or a collection. Do you say England are a great nation?
This article is awful. What the law really did was required retailers to post ratings about the content of the game, despite that games ALREADY have the ESRB ratings listed.
The reason it was struck down wasn't because the judge felt kids should be getting Playboy. He felt it is already being addressed by the industry without unneeded legislation.

If those are live credit cards, they would want to ensure as few people as possible would try to use them.

... don't you think everyone else is too? Is it really all that surprising that they are backlogged?
In the future, we'd all be watching you in the shower as you had this remarkable epiphany!
Windows Vista doesn't even ship with telnet.exe.
'telnet' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
It wasn't this at all. e360insight won by default because Spamhaus didn't show up.

That was probably your ISP actually. Try cutting back on the number of concurrent connections.
Heh Heh, he said "seperates".
I think I failed the test in high school where they described irony.
I can't help but have some grudging respect for his stance.
Let's also keep priorities in mind. He also wants to impeach Bush.
