You can be as angry as you'd like. Others, in response, have cited the wiki article on the topic. The fact that Coulrophobia is widespread isn't news to anyone. I don't need reams of hard scientific research to make a prediction of behaviour based on previous experience. Finally, I don't need stacks of journals to justify making an offhand simplification of well known principles that your brain reacts negatively to situations that it perceives as a threat.
I don't know the particulars of your vision, but a tower painted blue to match the sky when looking UP is going to be a bright blue streak against a dark background when above it and looking DOWN.
I think they'll find that it's not a matter of familiarity. It's a survival reflex and it's pretty deep. Your brain flags "almost human" things as grotesque and something to be avoided. It's why many people are afraid of clowns and wax figures. They look almost human, but still look wrong.
People would be far more comfortable with Bender-like robots than with "I, Robot" style robots because they don't try to be human, just humanoid. If it looks sufficiently non-human to avoid triggering that reflex, they'll be alright. Other than that it'd have to be completely perfect, like Data.
Considering the basis of your argument doesn't mean anything (same program/channel/time) I'm fairly sure you either didn't do the test, or you did it very poorly.
It's not a matter of popping in different hardware and comparing results. Since Tivo records at in high quality (assuming you don't mean high def, in which case the comparison is out of context for a PVR350) 544x480 at 5.8 Mbps and MythTV allows your PVR350 to record at 720x480 at 6 Mbps, I'd say your assesment of image quality applies more to the fact that you apparently found MythTV too difficult to set up properly (most likely using default settings that could be adjusted upwards for a dramatically better picture).
The gloves, like many things in a hospital, should be disposed of after touching something unclean. The process should go:
Put on gloves Touch keyboard Dispose of gloves
Anything else is excessive. The keyboards could have steaming piles of dog poo on them; it doesn't matter. The keyboard should be treated as "tainted" no matter what. Throwing a glove away after using the keyboard is faster and cheaper than sterilizing a cover before and after using the keyboard each time.
From muddling through the crypto link above, it seems what would happen is I'd go ahead and set up my DNS and lie to it.
For example, I'd tell my DNS (correctly) that I'm suchandsuch.com. Then I'd lie to it and tell it that I'm also mandriva.com (Like anyone would use a stupid name like that). I'd then go to another machine on the internet and ask for something to resolve to suchandsuch.com, maybe emailing or http. When that machine looks up suchandsuch.com, apparently it'll see my devious lies about mandriva.com and it'll believe them. From then on anyone who hit that machine and was vulnerable would think I was mandriva.com
That's my limited understanding at least, because no one is being more clear to laymen.
The original poster was more accurate based on how it was orignally used by Yakov. The meme is simply to reverse the words, Yakov used it more extensively than that.
For example, the "classic meme" type example:
In America you can always find a party. In Russia, the party finds you.
However, he also used it in other sytles:
In America you can meet women on the bus. In Russia, the women are the bus.
I think the original poster probably could get away with arguing he used in the less strict, "What a country" sense, but then I'm killing time before a meeting and have nothing better to do.
Not really, it isn't google that's doing the prefetching, your browser is. The correct thing to do is to have Firefox put the prefetching config in an obvious place in Advanced preferences.
Morals are at best loosely associated with dogma, as it's everyone (possible except: mentally disturbed) has a sense of right and wrong without being educated specifically. (Feel free to begin the nature v. nurture debate, but that's still not a dogma argument).
Laws against murder have absolutely nothing to do with philosophy because there is no rational framework to explain value judgements, such as the benefit of one action over another. Philosophy can't even explain that you exist, let alone prove to me your life has value outside of what value I grant it.
Morals and religion are not interchangeable, try not to confuse them.
You're letting your desire not to be harmed interfere with my natural ability to bash your skull in. If the law agrees with you, that's a moral decision.
Don't allow yourself to be so brainwashed that you think there is anything unnatural about morals or that there is anything particularly inherint about any "rights".
Clinically speaking, the only right we've ever managed to conclusively demonstrate is that all living things eventually have the right to die. When we perfect anti-aging, perhaps that one will need a hard look as well. The rest are just moral values; more accurately the rest are social mores.
They may be reported, but nothing will happen. Why? Because in their agreement with VISA it says that they will not ask for identification beyond what is on the card. I asked VISA about this a while back because I'm one of the people that HATE having my ID checked. The VISA representative I dealt with confirmed I could report a store that demanded ID to their bank, and their bank could levy a fine against them for violating the terms of their agreement if they chose to do so.
This sentence would fit into what my wife, an editor, would call "Can be corrected, but needs rewrite".
Correctly rendered as written, it ought to be:
The ruling stems from a former UN employee who successfully sued the Washington Post in Ontario for libel, arguing that, because the Post's Web site carried the story, his reputation had been "damaged" in that province.
Better:

Why bother with all the trouble of randomness? If this relies on a degree of accuracy in the information being sent over and above what the protocal requires, just truncate.

I read it as "Man dree vuh" and thought it sounded like a small Eastern bloc country occupied by the Soviets after World War II.

Most likely use MIME. Post your email and I'll drop you a note and you can see for yourself.

Is why we've set up a system where it's a problem that you SSN is known?
Your SSN is your taxpayer identification number. Giving you my SSN should enable you to pay my taxes.
Why have we set up a system where a nonsecure number has so much of a strangle hold over our financial lives?
