I wish the 4 or 5 people that still use that Limbaugh-favoured term would stop doing so.
To me, a 'critter' is a fuzzy little (possibly annoying) animal or pest. Are vultures, sharks, sloths and blood-sucking leeches also called 'critters' in your vernacular?
It's a typical sports-oriented marketing term that the advertisers and buzzword junkies are so fond of. "ICUP" (internet, cable, usenet, phone) service does not sound nearly as exciting or sexy.
Of course, the Brits, if they ever get this, will make up some cutesy-sounding shorthand for it. Something like "pee-pee", probably.
International politics is convoluted and mysterious and the post cold war era hasn't really changed much. It's still a game of favours, inside deals, secrecy and private agreements.
If NK tests, you can be sure that something else is happening in the background. We might find out what/really/ happened in 2030.
Perhaps it is politically useful to announce that you've been hacked when, in fact, you havent. Or if you *have*, in fact been hacked, it might be useful to "leak" to the press that you've been hacked, but you secretly know that the hacking occurred at a non-vulnerable point. Or, if you haven't been hacked by hackers, it could be hacky if the hackees hacked the hackiest hack node and then made it appear that hackers had [writer's brain explodes, end of post]
Personally, I didn't care for Firefly or Serenity. This is because I'm a two-dimensional, shallow person who just wants simple entertainment on TV and in movies.
If I want to think and be mentally challenged, I read.
I find it amusing that so many fans of "intelligent" science fiction seem to fall into the soap opera-type trap wherein they apparently vicariously get emotionally involved. Firefly and the new Battlestar Galactica slots nicely into the soap opera category but with the occasional lasers, aliens, robots and spaceships.
I fully expect Vista to break existing customized AutoCAD installations, but that's OK these days as engineering is now all about pushing buttons and making stuff look good with 3D models and perfect laser prints. You know you're in trouble when management defers to CAD support and tells you to design what the software is capable of simulating.
Criminal behaviour is anything society deems so unaceptable that an organised form of punishment needs to be set up to discourage people from acting that way.
Harassing grieving families with threatning comments falls in that category.
I have to agree. Even if this sort of thing is not strictly illegal in some venues, it needs to be addressed seriously.
What type of callous, unfeeling, hateful individual would say stuff like this (given the circumstances, it's even worse)? It indicates no empathy and compassion, lack of which are key psychological components of violent people and dangerous psychopaths, AFAIK. I am not a mental health professional, however.
America is seen as a strange, nutty, violent backwater by the rest of the world
"These people are social outcasts whose career or class ambitions haven't been fulfilled," he explains. "They blame their failure on a particular group that they feel is responsible for excluding them from their proper place in society. They begin fantasizing about a campaign of vengeance against the group -- which in a tiny proportion of cases -- ends, tragically, in actual violence."

no one told me I didn't need to get all these tubes.
Just use piping instead like I do - tubes have thinner walls, so stuff leaks out.
Brilliant!
That was quite a powerful set of paragraphs.
Libya is a huge thinly populated country with oil.
Like Canada?
My mind has to adjust to a different space for the tools, which are often accessed quickly and repetedly.
The software you use doesn't have keyboard shortcuts?
22" Acers?
just love this new development. Warning, PDF.
However, SLI doesn't function with two monitors. I assume it would with one large 30", 2560 x 1600 monitor, but I'm not certain.
"Sadly, Mike Muuss was killed in an automobile accident on November 20, 2000. His work lives on in testament to his intellect and indomitable spirit."
Even with a large flat screen TV you need something deep enough to contain a DVD/VHS/cable box/TIVO.

It probably also breaks a lot of extensions that users have become used to. That's not the fault of the developers though.

Observe parent's username. Too funny!
Analysts Think About Vista & Retire to the Bathroom to Lay Some Cable.
Is that like a pinch off the daily log?
I'm drunk, too, prost!
Wasn't Compuserve also big at the time? I jumped from them to a real ISP as soon as I found out about you guys.
This is for a tank made of very thick steel
Usually Sch. 40 carbon steel pipe + pipe caps, buttwelded.
Sometimes, when your imagination wants to take you for a ride, just say no.
But that's exactly what you just did, and it was hilarious.
