Good list, but for the bit of hand waving in step 5.:-)
Mozillia.org is not defaulted as a trusted site because it could be comprimised when you install. Given that the home page defaults to mozilla.org, this would be unacceptable for a parinoid security policy.
Although, given that the senario being discussed is migrating from IE to Moz, that doesn't make much sense.....
This page has a look at some of the reasons why. Basicly, no (known) combonation of a common element, a solvent, and temperature range display the chemical flexibility of H20 + C + (0 - 100 degrees).
Of course, life could probably exist in a totally different paradigm, but it's kind of hard to design space probes or experiments to test for the unknown.
Well, yeah/. likes free (and cheap), and 'sharing', you make it sound like a bad thing. Had you read the site before you signed up? Congrats on your 'real world' job. Is it new? I too work in the 'real world', like most people I know, but not in game development. I'm guessing if you were not working in the game industry, you wouldn't be working with $$$ engines, either.
I've never had the chance to work with a modern commercial engine, so I don't know how they compare, but I'm grateful for things like Torque3D and Irricht.
You don't pay $250,000 for the right to sell a mod to UT. What you get is the source code, free for you to do anything you want with it except sell it. This is far more flexible than UnrealScript could ever be.
Are you pissed of at strategic voters, or the fact that the system is broken? People who vote for the lesser of two evils are trying to get _some_ power out of their vote. True, if every one of these folks followed their heart, they could change the system, but they probably did that once or twice already, and have seen the results.
I'm glad you can find the moral backbone to vote for an 'alternative', but strategic voters are not your enemy, apathatic non-voters and the powers that feed them are.
For myself, I think the system is fundementaly flawed, and probably unfixable from within. The revolution will be televised.
I agree that the country is ridiculosly over-armed, and run by sycophants to the Great Leader, a loonie who loves powers.
But NK has had a very different history than Australia (of course). The FAS has a lot of good info about the Korean war period and some of the aftermath. NK's isolation (IMO) is a direct result of that.
My original point got taken as 'flamebait', even though I was trying to be subtle. Here it is in plain english; NK is not the unreasonable political pariah that the powers that be (the U.S.) would like us to belive. We made tham as they made themselves. Nobody, even loonie despots, want's to use nukes, and if any country in the world has thier back to the wall it's North Korea. Like every other nuclear nation, it's a bargining chip.
Well, 'do something about this' doesn't have to mean 'bomb the shit out of them'.
I read NK's stance as pretty much defensive. If you were suddenly part of 'The Axis of Evil', and you just watched one of your axis members get invaded, you'ld probably want some detterent also. This implies that they can probably be negotiated with.
I think it's more apples and oranges than that. Windows is much more than a kernel, it's a kernel intergrated with a huge mess of applications (like explorer), APIs (like D3D), and god knows what else. Linux is simply a kernel.
If MS needs to add a feature _now_, they just stick hooks into right into the kernel to support it. Linux doesn't work that way. Linux might be 'monolithic' in a CS sense, but windows is something else altogether.
By the time it becomes possible to standardize on Longhorn, the bigger threat will come from the giant mutant roaches/rising sea levels/dying sun kind of senario.
I've always found that people confuse atheisism with agnostism, ie;that I'm somehow still searching for the answer.
That's why I've taken to describing myself as a 'millitant atheist'.
What the hell is your problem? The OP said his opinion, that relegion or politics should not be taught in schools. Simple. You start spewing shit about how he should be modded down for getting it wrong. And then you say; So get it right, will you?!? The author said "school is a religion", not "school has too much Christianity".
Who mentioned Christianity? Something hitting too close to home here, or what? You seem incapable of even understanding the topic. Here's some advice to posting on/.
Try to understand what the OP fucking said in the first place.
Instead of whining for someone else to mod him down (several times), reply with your own opinion.
I downloaded a whack of ROMS and emulators, cause I wanted to wallow in nostalgia. Guess what. All those games really suck compared to online-multiplayer-3d-actionfests. Some do have great gameplay, it's true, but I'm still amazed I spent so much time on them.

The article notes that many industrial products, including pop cans, are speced to similar tolerances.
POWER ain't PPC.
Russia ratified Kyoto. today.
Generally speaking, less than in a cup of drip coffee.
UWBALS you mean?
On SGI machines there is a '/dev/opengl', that one can pipe openGL bytecode to.

Uh, no, he quite clearly said GPL. It's in his post, about 4 inches up.

The only other reasonable option is the Torque3D engine.

Wikipedia gives 330,000,000 kg for the Empire State building, for an answer of 163,636,364 ESB's.

Chill.
How, out of all the views expressed in this thread, did someone pick this one as 'Troll'?

Heck, my SGI Indy from '93 can boot off a TFTP partition on the net. Very handy for a diskless workstation. AFAIK, the Mac can do this also.
I'm joking, but you're still an idiot.
