How can he justify reviewing an unreleased version of Opera M2, but then review an older version of Outlook because most Windows users don't have it yet?
The unreleased version of Opera M2 is free (with two small Google ads) while Outlook 2003 costs a few hundred dead prime ministers. I very much doubt that the budget of this review had several hundred dead prime ministers in it.;)
This still compares favourably with countries like France and Spain that did the same thing and didn't become sucessful:-)
By what standard is Britain successful and France strictly unsuccessful?
Not to mention the Germans who didn't even manage to colonise anyone at the time.
Other than Cameroons (Kamerun), Caroline Islands (Karolinen), German East Africa, German New Guinea, German South West Africa, Kiautschou, Mariana Islands (Marianen), Marshall Islands, Samoa, and Togo.
'twas a nod to A Clockwork Orange, in which they use a slang that borrows heavily on Russian. Actually, I imagine that's how many of these languages will survive to some extent - "fossilized" as idioms or slang words in more dominant languages...
In Soviet Russia, more dominant languages "fossilize" in idioms or slang words.;)
China Mieville's The Tain is now published as part of the Cities anthology from Gollancz edited by Peter Crowther along with stories by Michael Moorcock, Paul de Fillipo, and Geoff Ryman.
Actually, it's on the Northern Southern border of Ontario, not the Southern Southern border of Ontario. As such, it is obviously Northern to any versed in Torontonian geophysicography as well as I am.:)
Why are there no nominations for Kill Bill Pt1? Are they waiting for this year's Pt2? It was my fav of 2003 and its cinematography, music, and even acting are top notch.:)
Copying files is ethical when the person uploading the file to you knows about it. For example, it's okay to copy The Hunger by Distillers because the uploader intends to share that, but it's not okay to copy resume.rtf because they probably don't.;)
Excuse my skepticism, but I don't believe for a minute that WalMart is selling at a loss. The bandwidth certainly does not cost $0.88 and pretty much everything else is in imaginary costs that can be adjusted to any value between zero and infinity.
I read their Slashdot journals. That's good enough for me.
How do you know there is a table in front of you? Are the photons that bounce off of it a good enough source of information? It is conceivable that we are all deluding ourselves.:P
Couldn't this service theoretically set up a sister site that sells the papers that were submitted into the anti-cheating service? This has the added benefit of increasing true positives as people start submitting the essays they had bought from the same company.:P
It can't be a question of the companies just overcharging, if they were someone could undercut everyone else and drive them out of business.
Nah, corporations tend to dislike undercutting each other these days. Why try driving someone else out of business when you can make more money coexisting by jointly skinning your customers?
An interesting use for *.ogg is as music for computer games. You can't really use *.mp3 because of the $50k royalty charge, so games like Warlords IV come bundled with music in *.ogg format.:)

Quimby: For decimating our giant robot pigeon population, and making Springfield a less oppressive place to while away our worthless lives, I present you with this scented candle.
% Away from the speech, Skinner and Lisa talk. Skinner: Well, I was wrong. The giant robot lizards are a godsend. Lisa: But isn't that a bit short-sighted? What happens when we're overrun by giant robot lizards? Skinner: No problem. We simply release wave after wave of giant robot Chinese needle snakes. They'll wipe out the giant robot lizards. Lisa: But aren't the giant robot snakes even worse? Skinner: Yes, but we're prepared for that. We've lined up a fabulous type of giant robot gorilla that thrives on giant robot snake meat. Lisa: But then we're stuck with giant robot gorillas! Skinner: No, that's the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around, the giant robot gorillas simply freeze to death.
It's slang for the round option widgets you see these days. I guess High Definition is marketspeak for the switch to vector-based graphics for them. That means they will look the same size on your monitor no matter what resolution you are using.:)

Oh, fine, that was lame.^-^
Horrow show, plow whore, it doesn't really matter. Unless you speak Russian, toe war rich.;)
Well, I've just finished part three, and both bullet time and The Architect made me think of the Matrix series.:)

If your resume and cover letter were written in a similar fashion, I am not surprised.:)

Some of us are women . While I am sure there are Saudi female geeks, I doubt they are free to pursue geekhood.
(and I say that as someone who finds even modern Hollywood blockbusters distractingly artifact-ridden on most DVD releases)
I think you need a smaller tv set.;)

If you want to use the original maps, why not just download jDoom, 3d Models, and Textures?
No, it won't be exactly cutting edge, but it will look pretty sweet compared to staticly lit 320x240.;)

I think that the next time you see that creep who leers from your mirror, you should punch him. That ought to make the ipod's DJ more fun.;)
