They are to the Left and Right of the centre aisle in the French National Assembly of 1789. Of course, right-wingers these days don't support an explicit monarchy quite as much, but the labels have stuck.
In Soviet Russia, soviet.russia.slashdot.org creates you. The capitalists.slashdot.org will give us the webspace to hang them with. revolution.slashdot.org is inevitable!:D
Entertainment moguls keeping rights to things? What rights? They don't have any rights, save for the might equals right one. The MPAA is stealing our collective human property from us and then having the nerve to charge us for access.
There is still no way to have a vertical tab bar, quickly toggle on/off all formatting, or quickly cycle between All Images/No Images/Loaded Images.
Also, Opera still has a magical interface. If I misclose a window, I can hit Ctrl+Z/Ctrl+Alt+Z and it is magically restored. I don't need to install extensions to get tabs to behave sensically.
Newton was a crackpot because he stood on the shoulders of greater crackpots than himself. We stand on his shoulders and therefore ought to be less crackpotty than he. Learning from the mistakes of those who came before us is an integral part of science. Newton came before us.
Personally, I read LotR and the Silmarillion umpteen times as a teenager. At some point, I just became tired of the world and the flaws that I glanced over in my initial readings started glaring.
Fantasy-wise, I am enamoured with the traditional high fantasy of Steven Erikson (Gardens of the Moon, Deadhouse Gates, etc.) and the inventive steampunky fantasy of China Mieville (Perdido Street Station, The Scar, etc.). Both Erikson and Mieville have anthropologist backgrounds and it shows.
As a philologist, Tolkien just had an odd retro-way of playing with words, but an anthropologist is much better at fleshing out actual worlds.
I checked one the international feeds -- the UK one -- and it's much less fugly. Still nowhere near as good as Google News Canada, but at least it's not eye-tearingly bad.
NBC appears to be source of the horrifying bad taste.
It should be noted that em and strong are not 100% equivalent to i and b . Specifically, you should also be using cite, var, dfn, and a few others when you are actually dealing with a book title, a variable name, or a word that's defined in the sentence it's in.;)
I will bet you any amount of money that there are more actual XHTML sites on the internet than there are actual HTML ones. Because browsers render absolute HTML shit soup when given it fine, people write HTML shit soup and think they know HTML.
In fact, if you want to code XHTML shit soup, you can as long as you send it as text/html. It won't be XHTML, but neither are most webpages HTML.
It is much easier to write proper XHTML than it is to write proper HTML, so people who care about propriety and validity write XHTML.

s/the Bank of Toronto/Toronto Dominion Bank/;
Most people just call it TD. I've never heard it called Bank of Toronto in my life.^-^

Since when do economic calculations have anything to do with rationality?
I, for one, enjoy Fuck the Mods by the classic 80s UK punk band Exploited from the perspective of it being about internet discussion site moderators.
Heh. Love you guys. Heck, I mod all the time.;)
This quote is yet more proof that people who hypertask and get actual work done don't vote for Bush.
The works of Greg Egan are mostly impeccable at not breaking the laws of physics while still playing with them a lot.
Bad analogy. God has never existed, does not exist, and will never exist whereas the SCO has existed, does exist, and will soon no longer exist.^-^
You are, of course, assuming that all the extra letters in 'rendezvous' were silent in Norman times.
The German system. The New Zealand system. Inertia.
Why not use Opera instead? It doesn't suffer from that problem.^-^

Thank you very much.:)

Dib: Three Apps? I LIKE IT.
Zim: No, Dib, Three Apps is bad. BAD.
Dib: I like it.
* Dib runs into Ballmer and falls over
Dib: The angry monkey hurt me. I LIKE IT.
Zim: Ugh. That monkey.

And so on.
You people are confusing me and each other. The Federal Communications Commission is very different from the Federal Trade Commission.
What's your objection to time travel? Hawking's speculations appear valid to me.

Surely you mean: Spetzialnaya Russkaya Tehnologiya, Tovarisch. (c) SSSR 1985.

David Brin does a good job of ripping LotR as far as I am concerned.

It works on a slightly different level from most jokes, but it is brilliant on that level. Bummer about the downmod.;)
