If they're anything like RIAA, they'll be hacked pretty quickly...
The RIAA website used to have an unpassword protected administration page at riaa.org/admin/ - helpfully pointed out by robots.txt!
The link got posted on FARK and Slashdot and several hundred fake news items got posted (including everyone's favorite goatse man) until they finally took it down.
Whoops!
And these are the people some Congressmen want to trust to hack filesharer's computers to remove copywritten works? Heh heh heh...
Most Windows-only games have Linux servers - the added stability is beneficial for a server (and most rent-a-server places have Linux, anyways) but not necessary for just the game client.
I imagine it's substantially easier to code a cross-platform server than it is to code a similar client.
Everyone should eventually use Mozilla Firebird, but I still come across sites that are either 1) coded specifically to work in IE, or 2) Just plain crash the browser.
Certainly... but it's getting better. I've only encountered two or three sites that were completely unusable in Firebird... woohoo!
If you see 150 people doing a robot dance outside of a Sony store (as was seen in the Mall of America flash mob), it's fairly safe to assume that the guy in front of you doing a robot dance is involved in it.
How are they supposed to know how productive the other employees would be if you weren't taking so many breaks? "Please, don't take any breaks this week so we can see if everyone else works more, so we can fire you for being a problem?" Honestly...
Like it or not, discipline has its place in the workforce. People being pains in the ass can be disruptive, and the company is free to say "not taking half hour potty breaks is a condition of your continual employment."
I read the affadavit. I also read the judge's decision throwing out the attempt to have the case reheard.
The Supreme Court decided that there was a right to privacy. The fact that Roe was manipulated doesn't change the fact that they decided that there's a right to privacy, and that abortion's covered by it.
a law that flew in the face of well over 300 years of American legal precedent (going back to colonial governments) that outlawed the willful killing of an innocent human being
Embryos/fetuses have never been legally declared the equivalent of a human being. Their legal status remains a gray area, until there's a proper decision on it.
contradicted thousands of federal, state, and local laws of every municipality in the country, and likewise, contradicted the majority beliefs and will of both the citizens and their elected representative legislators
Desegregating the South did the same thing, but no one claims that was a bad thing.
There is empirical scientific proof très beaucoup that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that abortion is the destruction of a living human being.
False, because science has no definition for "human being". The term is embryo or fetus - opinions vary as to what time it gains the rights of a "human being".
The HIV virus has been isolated and much research has been done on it. Do a quick search on PubMed and you'll find plenty of abstracts.
How about this: why don't you start taking the standard dosage of AZT that many "AIDS sufferers" took? How long do you think you will live? What side effects do you think you will encounter.
If I had HIV/AIDS, the virus replication would be slowed. Side effects would include not dying as quickly as people before AZT was used.
If I may generalize on one issue: Republicans speak for people who are in business, who employ people.. Democrats speak for people who are the recipients of their income-redistribution, vote-buying schemes.
I prefer "Republicans speak for employers, Democrats speak for employees."
As for your sig - go inject yourself with some HIV and see what happens.
it turned out these fucks from HR were tracking employees who would take excessive breaks
Why shouldn't they be? If you take, say, 15 minutes of bathroom breaks every hour, shouldn't you get fired?

Bush trounced Gore pretty badly in the 2000 election, too. It seems counter intutive that Republicans would have more popular support, but most hyper wealthy people lean toward the left (Gates, Ellison, actors, lawyers)
Oh? Gore won the popular vote, and it took a month to decide who won the electoral vote. I wouldn't call that getting "trounced pretty badly." If you're going to include hyper wealthy leftists, makes sure you include the hyper wealthy rightists too - most of big business goes Republican.
Looking at this year's race, GWB has 6996 contributors under the $2000 limit, compared to Dean at 8662. A difference of less than 1700 contributors isn't really that ground breaking, especially seeing as the campaign cycle hasn't gone into full swing yet.
It is when you consider Bush is the only Republican (and has phenomenal name recognition, a list of people who donated last election, etc.), but Dean's one of many potential Democratic candidates. If Dean becomes the party's official candidate, donations will increase dramatically.

When do they decide who gets the nomination? Is it at the national convention? Or is it similar to the electiorial college, you weigh each states votes?
The candidates win delegates in each state primary, and the results are tallied at the national convention. Delegates can vote contrary to how their state voted, but it's unusual.
It's not to hard to get 40,000 people who like you to give $20. Granted it's only $800,000 and not the 100+ mil or whatever obscene about the retard currently in office spent.
Try 60,000+ people giving an average of over $60... the Dean campaign collected something like 7 million in the last quarter. Bush, of course, has about 200 million... but once the Democratic lineup thins out, it'll be easier to raise funds.
According to a post higher up in this article, Buy.com says they need IE because they use an ActiveX control to enable your access to the encrypted file... so they do have a good reason for it.

Err... and why exactly should we care about Salon's advertising rates?
Because the original question was "how do you make enough to pay the writers"?
It's a hell of a lot more steps than just one, and slippery slope is a logical fallacy.

What about all the historical cases of UFO sightings?
What about all the cases of people seeing images of Jesus in condensation on windows, or stuff like that? People will see what they want to believe.

Do you use IE like most people do? You can only block all cookies (and lose the use of your netbank, for instance) or allow all cookies.
:-p That said, everyone should use Moz Firebird.
Uh, false?
You can accept, deny, or have IE prompt you for cookies. You can also diferentiate between third-party cookies and cookies from the originating site.
Not only that, but you can override the cookie handling for individual sites - just put your netbank on "Always Allow" and you're set.
People who haven't used IE for years shouldn't go talking about it's features or lack thereof.

The virus has never been isolated?
Bullshit.
The virus was isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC),cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)and lymph nodes of 3 AIDS patients by coculture with PBMC stimulated by PHA for 72 hours from uninfected donor.
we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the replication properties of nine drug-resistant and nine drug-susceptible viral isolates derived from patients with primary HIV-1 infection
etc. etc. etc.
The HIV virus has been isolated and much research has been done on it. Do a quick search on PubMed and you'll find plenty of abstracts.

No, but they can give donations, and that's more important than voting nowadays.
Someone who has to burn a couple hundred CDs certainly cares.

Jane Roe: Roe v. Wade was a fraud
Judge: I don't give a shit if your opinion on the matter changed when you became a fundie, the legal basis for the decision remains. STFU.

"everyone" being the couple thousand who read the article on Slashdot and cared enough to do it?
:-p
Anyways, I personally just put it on "prompt" - if I trusted the site, I let it install, otherwise no.
Mozilla Firebird's better, though.
Read it backwards...

I suppose you failed reading comprehension skills in grade school...
It said you have to troll through several pages of results before you find something not related to Apple...
Or search for "apple -computer"
