A rock musician from noplace near Utah has invented a perpetual motion machine. Don't believe him? Well he's had it checked out. Not by MIT, Honda, or Tokyo Gas and Electric, but by an unnamed Japanese discount store. How can you not trust unnamed Japanese people?

Question begging is circular reasoning, but leaving important questions unanswered. If you don't understand this, just stop using the expression. Another usage hint, when properly used, the phrase "begs the question" is almost always followed immediately by a period.
If you think you need a Segway, then you should not have one. This is a device for the dexterous, not the handicapped. On it, the handicapped are dangerous to everyone around them.
My point was that Apple had copied the alt-tab from Windows, and that I was not aware of any other copies from Windows nor any other Windows features that call out for copying. Not that they introduced the copy in 10 or 10.2. Since you've explained that it was Amiga that invented alt-tab, I am now unaware of any positive contributions from Microsoft to GUI design.
OSX borrows alt-tab (as apple-tab), Microsoft's one positive contribution to computing. The NYT article says that it borrows anti-aliasing, but that's not correct.
It's Socrates, not Dewey, who popularized the method of teachers asking students questions. The idea is to use the proding of the questions to get the student to formulate the right answer (the teacher's answer) on his own. (Or to get the student to remember the right answer, since he is timeless and eternal and already knows everything. See Meno.)
The idea that it's important to get students to ask the right question to the all-knowing teacher is most attributable to... Google? I don't think this is a respected notion of how to teach.
GWB used cocaine. He does not deny this. Nobody denies this. He denies that he's taken cocaine since sometime in the first Regan administration (I forget if it's 1982 or 1984). Check your facts.
I'm not sure how important this is. Certainly Hitler was hateful and dangerous before he took cocaine.
I have to agree with Zeinfeld. In the long run, we all have to compete on the world level. We can let lots of people from all over the world join us here in the States to keep our tech sector competitive (H1B approach). Or we can watch US companies outsource and companies located in other countries become more competitive. I would much rather have to compete for jobs in the US with Indians on H1B visas, and work in companies kept competitive partially by the talent from India, than to have to move to India to find a job, after our tech sector becomes uncompetitive. If don't like the H1B program, start studying Hindi now.
Equifax is a huge profitable multinational. Certificate mananagement could not have accounted for 1% of its revenue. For GeoTrust to buy out Equifax would be like WorldCom to buy out MCI. Wait,... bad example, but EFX has not been bought out. If they dropped out of the certificates business, that was not important enough to make it to their press releases.
No I don't work for EFX.
Ask any chemist. .5 rounds to nearest even.

First week of chemistry 101 you learn that 0.5 rounds to the nearest even. This is a rule from lab measurements; it predates CS. The CS folks were correct to follow the standard already in place.
Maybe the human brain is what Windows is modeled after. It does most things right most of the time. But sometimes it will fail to perform a task it has performed right 100 times before. It is sometimes impossible to figure out what has caused it to fail. It failed just because. "Oops, sorry."
On a related note. The relationship between A/UX and System 7 was similar to that of OSX and classic. System 7 ran as a process in A/UX. It was also possible to run System 7 on Macintosh Application Environment (MAE) on HPUX and Solaris. I wish Apple had kept A/UX and MAE up all along instead of dropping A/UX with the PPC, onlyto bring it back now.
Yes. Almost. A "lot" can be a piece of land, but it can also be a measure of quantity, as in we bought 2 lots of whatevers. A more parallel construct would be a thimbleful.
It really is time that we all take up arms against a sea of mixed metaphors.
Spitzer made NY's decision to join the DOJ settlement . I could understand an accusation that he is in MSFT's pocket. But AOLTW? What has he done for them lately?
Great point. The author meant to work with data that was skewed and truncated to include only the most sucsessful projects, but that's not what he got. Rather it's only those projects small enough to rely on the services of SF but not dead. An interesting middle, but not the top 100.
OT, I think you mean false premise, not false positive.
Taiwan and the PRC agree that there is one China and that it includes Taiwan. (They largely also agree that it includes Tibet, of all things.) But they are temporarily divided and will eventually merge. Of course, the PRC sometimes seem to think it can merge with Taiwan in the same way as Tibet or Hing Kong, and this is not going to happen as Taiwan has a formidable defense (even without the US).

Joe Newman has been saying for years that a Japanese motor company stole his motor designs.

I prefer impact because it's spelled the same way for the noun and verb, unlike affect and effect. It's affected to complain too much about impact.

Me too.

It's darkest in the middle of the night. It's coldest just before the dawn. Don't know how that got confused in popular speach.
Yes. Almost. A "lot" can be a piece of land, but it can also be a measure of quantity, as in we bought 2 lots of whatevers. A more parallel construct would be a thimbleful.
