It's a perfectly natural progression. It happens in everything from government to businesses. It's called freedom of speech and it's what makes this country great. The tossing of ideas into the idea pool and fishing out the good ones.
People around here seem to think Bill runs things at MS which is far from the truth, not only is he not CEO anymore but the decision makers are the shareholders and board of directors. Of course if the mindless drones around here didn't have a target like Bill they wouldn't know what to do with themselves.
No kidding, I'm so sick of these altruistic nimrods it's amazing. Yes businesses try to make money, yes thats what this country was founded upon. Don't like it? Take a hike, go to China where everyone works for the government and struggles for food from day to day.
No its because the region of the brain that stores long term memories hasn't developed yet and the hormones and chemicals needed to store them aren't being produced. Like pubic hair, some develope faster than others. I started shaving when I was 13 but my first memory is at age 4. It's all relative and has nothing to do with "trauma".
I met my first best friend in my drive way when I was 4, that my earliest memory and strangely enoug it's in black and white.
Some people remember further back, for instance the Dali Lama remembers vividly the day the monks first visited him at age 2. I seriously doubt anyone could remember anything before then.
Start menu, windowing toolkit, API's, the fact that you start in a GUI rather than DOS and then switch to a GUI.
I fail to see how you can't see win 3.1 to win95 as major. Did you even use 3.1?

In python it's nice because of the forced syntax, IDE's can remove some of the fuss for you by auto indenting etc.
My perl scripts are always so short that it's faster and easier to just start up vi in a working terminal than to load any IDE.

I think history has proved the opposite. Win 3.1 to Win95 was a major UI change. Mac OS9 to OSX has been a major UI change. CDE to GNOME is a major UI change.
It seems to me the only people making incremental improvements is Microsoft (winNT-win2k-winXP). We all just love the Windows GUI right?
Most vegetarians are so because of animal rights. This is particularly clear in Buddhism a primarily vegetarian religion. They don't eat meat because it could have been someone they knew (rebirth etc).
The thing is most people don't care about animal rights, food chain and all of that, so they bring up the health benefits which most people do care about.

Honestly, it will never happen. The potential for dropping missiles on enemy heads is to great for casual commercial/private space travel. Just about every mission that goes up is tracked heavily by the worlds super powers and often documented for their review to make sure nukes aren't being aimed at them.
Perhaps thousands of years from now when we have evolved into a more compassionate race, capable of getting past such things. You wont see it any time soon however. People are far to paranoid.
It's Japanese, I don't care what Everything2 says. It's wrong. It's base is in Japanese Buddhism and has been for over a thousand years. If the cantonese picked it up, great, but Feng Shui is Japanese.
How do you know it's a new chipset? The article as far as I can tell is non-specific on the subject. It could very well be an x86 processor, or in the same family.
"Yes, indeed. Better stay away from all that stuff, because choice is confusing, and confusing is bad. Makes people have to use their brains, and all that. "
You are forgetting this is COMMUNIST China. Yes for them, choice is bad, so is speech and freedom.
I think it was an "all or nothing" solution. MS wants to include a broken Java, SUN says no, they have to carry a real Java VM.
I think what the decision means is that if MS is going to include Java in it's OS's they have to include the OFFICIAL Java from SUN and not the broken one they released.
Ok first Roarke invented a new product (this is fiction you do realize?) marketed it and out did his competitors on fair market terms. How in the sam hell do you derive RMS from this? RMS didn't invent anything, he copied very old ideas from AT&T and made some slight improvements on them. The community took it from there. Perhaps you should actually read Atlas Shrugged before spouting off at the mouth as if you understood it. Oh and Roarke was never labeled crazy, he was labeled evil for not giving everything to charity. RMS is the OPPOSITE of Roarke you moron.
Stallman hasn't contributed anything nearly as great as you seem to think. RMS isn't the entire FSF movement, there are MILLIONS more people contributing a great deal EVERYDAY. You Stallman worshipers really astound me with your ignorance and blind devotion to a man who has proved time and time again to be nothing more than a school yard bully to other developers. The only other FSF figure head even remotely as looney as RMS is Theo from OpenBSD.
History wont even blink at RMS, nor Linus. This is just software, not some great political movement like you seem to think. 10 years from now OS's as we know them wont even be a blip on the radar screen.
What free software do I use? What the hell does that matter? Is this the part where I'm supposed to whip out my dick and measure it along side yours to see who's the bigger man?
Could your response have been any more idiotic? Do you use screwdrivers at work? I guess we better make the inventor of the screw driver a hero then. Well actually we should make the guy who invented the tip of the screw driver a hero since metaphoricly speaking that's all Linus did. His contributions pale in comparrsion to those of the rest of the community.
RMS is a froathing at the mouth loon who does more to hurt free software than to help it. And BTW yes I do think my contributions outweigh his however that is irrelevant to the conversation since I'm not nominated in the award. Nor would I think my efforts on this rock make me a hero.

You're joking right? By your definition Sadam is a hero because he's brought some economic relief to his people, nevermind the ones he's killed and tortured.

Bush's approval rating is still in the high 60's. Try backing up your claim.
Not only that but Bush was recently named Americas most admired man:

You Bush haters fucking astound me with your ignorance. Why would you bring Bush up in this thread? Just fucking astounding.

Its a type of interior design, Japanese in origin. there is a world outside of California you know.
Yeah great, 75% of the people don't have food or access to medication for the growing AIDs epidemic but hell, at least they have Linux computers.
"Feng Shui" is Japanase, not Chinese.

I'm not disagreeing with you but honestly it's not like China had to start from scratch like Intel did. The chips are slow, but they are just a start.
Transmeta did better with it's initial chips if I'm not mistaken.
But it wasn't. The ruling wasn't indispute, as I said. It was only the punishment, whether or not MS was guilty never came up in the appeal.
Gotcha, that does make more sense.
Actually the appeal wasn't "held up". The only thing disputed in the appeal was the punishment, not the actual conviction.
