In these days, common sense, choosing not to rape and kill every child you see, is so rare that kudos may be called for.
This shows, how unacceptable giving kudos for such things is.
I think Chris Rock also had a critique about this in his program. Went something along the lines of: Guy 1 (proud): I care for my children. And I don't steal no shit. Chris Rock: Do you think you deserve credit for this?? NO! You are SUPPOSED to do these things!! (Sorry, can't recite it properly. But you get the drift.)
I remember that we used an online service that did this in 2003. We also had Photoshop overlay scripts. A layer for every version, colorize them, and then substract them from each other. Or something like that.
As always, Microsoft tries to sell us something as their great new "invention", that was already old before they found it in the products of their concurrents.
(Mind you, that I am no Microsoft basher, and give credit where credit is deserved. As with having the most successful OS in history (by being the most talented in handling stupid people ^^).)
I suggest a name change from the UN Human Rights Council to "MiniRight". Fits nicely into the NewSpeak pattern with MiniLuv.

It's actually pretty simple.
Q: How much power has the UN? A: As much as the nations in it will hurt you with embargos and "prevertive attacks".
In the end, it always comes down to the rule of force. And I don't think this will ever change.
I could only imagine a very strong self-sustaining fortress that everybody needs somehow, to survive this. But expect to fend off traitors and spies left and right.
Why not register one of the conficker domains yourself, before the actual owner can do it, and then load you own windows-by-linux-replacer into it. Oh, and add a conficker remover too. Done right, it should result in an "epic pwn" as they say.
Hmm... I never used Windows XP with more than 512 MB ram. With a fat firewall software, antivirus, a fat messenger software, winamp and Firefox running. And I never felt it to be slow. My current machine, running Linux/GNU/Gentoo/KDE/Compiz with 2 GB ram and a on-board Geforce 7050PV (with shared mem) actually feels slower.
So I wonder if you had some botnet client running in the background......or if it simply is the graphics card...
But 512 MB definitely was enough to work well with XP SP3.
Not exactly true. You never got viruses, that you knew of.
Under Windows, with IE, this is no hard thing to achieve. Think of the Sony rootkit. Or about the tons of trash that average people get on their systems, despite having a anti-virus and a firewall software running. I know of many people who completely turn them both off, when they play games. For performance reasons. Even when the games allow the usage of browsers while running.
Wrong. There always is Infinite. (The symbol is on my keyboard, but not actually displayable trough/.'s retardedly outdated ASCII(?) character set)
Sadly, zero and infinity are completely misunderstood in mathematics, for they have a temporal property to distinguish different infinites (and zeroes).
If you think about it, what if you would point something like a modern hubble at the earth instead of the stars? I bet you would see *much* more than just license plates.
On a more serious note, you and GP are right. I am somewhat experienced in psychology, and small (and sometimes big) lies are an essential part of a working society. Take away the lies, and it completely breaks down. It is a kind of flexibility. To cope with the imperfection of humans. Same thing with parents and children. Or with any other relationship.
Small lies -- as you may know -- can even save a relationship for a very long and happy time. (Or destroy it. ^^)
Unfortunately there is a vast conspiracy. And it has nothing to do with any "wing".
It has to do with germany being a company, not a country. A protoype so to speak. The US are the owners. And our parliament is the management. The EU is the board of directors. And the germans are the employees.
Don't believe me? (Sure you don't:) Then read the German "Grundgesetz" (basic constitutional law). I kid you not.
Why do you think our passports are in fact employee cards? (They are literally called "Personalausweis". Which means exactly that.)
And of course the whole bullshitting with money not being backed by anything anymore and every dollar out there being in fact a money storage voucher. Not the real thing. And this money being the debt of someone else. and so on. I guess you know the story.
...how people so easily swallow, that "it leaked". Like it did it itself. Or like some guy secretively uploaded it.
You have to ask yourself: Who profits from this? And you will realize that this is a viral marketing scheme, engineered to create a hype.
So basically it's just a very advanced advertisement, that your adblocker could not detect.
I should program a small Firefox add-in that displays a large "who profits from this?" area next to the article. And when you would click on it, you would get to a site where you could read and edit who profited from it.
Have you actually tried something that is not centuries old? Try the sancho frontend for mldonkey. Or the ThinkingRock life organization software? They are a bit slow, but they look better than most apps I've seen and run nicely here on Windows and Linux.
So stop talking out of your old ass. ^^
The only problem I have with Swing, is that it tries to have all features imaginable. Thereby adding to the GUI slowness of Java. (Because in raw processing power, Java is actually the most performant VM, if you do not want to use something like OCaml, but still want to be compile-once-run-on-many-platforms.)
Oh my... And I thought Eclipse would suck very hard. How horrible is Visual Studio then? Like developing for the IE... by using MS Word for layouting... with a large portion of Radeon driver quality... on a Windows ME / VMS mutant... running on a retro Edsel in-car original Pentium/VAX hybrid?

No. Let me make an analog sentence:

Angry? Yes.
Facts? ALSO YES.
Flamebait? No. :)
Moderator was a Troll? Definitely.

That fourth "definition" is made-up bogus fearmongering bullshit, straight from the **AA headquarters. Which was exactly my point.
Appealing to authority (the dictionary) does not change anything.
Isn't that what school is for? ^^

so far, the only movies i've pirated...
Yarr matey! You too?
These modern iron ships are so hard to conquer. But we arr harrderr! Rrright? ARRRR!
P.S.: You got infected with **AA bullshit. Please disinfect yourself. And hand over your geek card too. Just to be sure.
Oh.. ohh.. let me solve:

Sadly you most likely do not understand German, or you would be able to understand this lecture, that an ex- stock expert gave in Swizerland, about this. With proper hard numbers and references behind it
But I heard there are audio translations from the live translators present there.
Good luck getting compressed to half your size down there, and *then* freezing to death. :P
And of course: Playmobil professional 7. :P

That would quite change the game. ^^
It has one huge problem though. It only works on Playmobil OSes. ^^

Nah. If i would try to insult you, I would try to come up with something that is not true.

Ok, start screaming if you notice what part I got totally wrong. ^^

Do chairmen count? They are a bit sloppy and slippery in the summer, but they make wonderful noises when thrown far enough.
