You gotta give those poor cubicle folk some credit for trying... at least they aren't putting Wite-Out on the screen, right?
Seriously though, if the government gets TOO embarrassed about this sort of thing, they'll do something even more stupid, and mandate all official documents to use some proprietary DRM/TPM/HDCP/BVD format that only Windows Vista can display.
You mean the wingnut who claims that heterosexual transmission of AIDS is a myth? What a fucking joke. (hint: Africa? Asia? etc?) You may as well cite NewsMax or National Enquirer for expert science advice.
Bullshit. Yeah, your personal views are rightly irrelevant if you're a faceless IT guy at EvilCo. They're EXTREMELY important if you're Vice President at a LOBBYING organization. You don't get or keep a job like that if you don't believe what you're saying.
But I suppose your post is right on par for someone who DOESN'T say what he actually believes. Come on, just spit it out already: "I personally support both the BSA and the Bush administration, so I think this guy is a great choice."
perhaps you should try a mobile phone made in the current millennium.
perhaps you should stop clenching your butt about the sound quality of a freaking phone call.
perhaps you should stop watching so many stupid TV commercials and try any of the dozens of unlimited calling options from the various phone companies these days.
It's a crime to shoot someone while hunting if you're drunk. Good thing the police didn't get to question him until 14 hours later, guess we'll never know.
Idiot. Read his whole fucking quote: "you could solve the airline threat by simply keeping guns off the planes (was already done) and fortifying the cockpit door."
9/11 happened because the hijackers were able to get into the cockpit. Sturdy locked doors, plus the pre-existing no guns rule, are sufficient to prevent this.
The Democratic Party is incompetent, spineless, and worse than useless. Besides, everyone knows that a vote for Democrats is a vote for gay terrorists.
Complaining that Firefox doesn't support a couple minor CSS2 features is like saying "You can still die in a car with crumple zones and air bags, so you may as well drive a 1972 Ford Pinto".
Bah. Daschle wasn't chairman of anything, except maybe the "royal order of waffling weenies with big red Ls stamped on their foreheads". I, for one, was thoroughly glad to see his political career end abruptly.
Actually, the folks of Utah have the "rightest" (aka Reddest) minds in America. Their last Democratic Senator was Ted Moss, defeated by Orrin Hatch in 1976, and the only reason they have one Democrat (out of 3) in the House is that Rep. Matheson proudly proclaims he's "more independent than [his party] may like".
And party affiliation aside, ranking incumbents with important chairmanships do not lose reelection. Too much pork is at stake. Wiki is a cute gimmick to drum up some buzz, but in the end he'll go down in flames just like the famously Internet-based campaign of Howard Dean.
Ah yes Bali, let's see... an 80+% Hindu city, full of western tourists, in an 80+% muslim country with lax borders and a corrupt US-friendly government. Nope, can't think of ANY reason why bombers would decide to attack there, not at all.
Speaking of Indonesia, did you know that they, Egypt, and other muslim nations offered to send lots of peacekeeping troops to Iraq, allowing US forces to withdraw? The only condition was that they would be under the authority of the Iraqi government rather than ours. Guess who vetoed them?
Yep, we're spending a billion a week over there just to stroke King George's ego. I think a few billion for science isn't unreasonable.
...and with the explosive growth in blogs and other peer communication, standard advertising and payola soon won't enough to control popularity. The music labels are dinosaurs that really don't need to exist any more. Musicians are gaining the ability to sell their albums worldwide, online, independently, and if a critical mass of popular artists ever do so, it's game over. This is simple survival tactics.
mom, who's in her 60s, wishes we could go back to those days because it was so much simpler than having all these different companies
... and I suppose we can guess who she voted for last year... Always scares the bejeebus out of me how many of "my fellow Americans" not-so-secretly long for a comforting authority figure to tell them what to do. Perhaps someone like a watchful older brother, if you will.
Notice that those foggy shapes are actually semi-transparent, and the Google background logo shines through. It's as if the Earth itself fades away at those points. The conclusion is inescapable: those are HOLES IN THE SPACE-TIME CONTINUUM.
One little temporal tremor and your neighborhood could blink out of existense. Nosiree, I wouldn't want to live near one of those.

Dude, don't knock Italian porn! It's the ONLY country in the world where a member of parliament was also a hardcore actress. Yes, at the same time!
... if you DARE.
C'mon, imagine YOUR region's federal legislator as a porn star. Imagine it

You see, this is an example of where the article goes wrong. Daniel Lyons didn't realize they were talking about this kind of impaction.
Provide a link or somethin'?
... at least SEVEN MONTHS NOW.
Damn, you are one slow motherfucker. Slashdot (and every Apple fan site in the world, FWIW) has only been going apeshit about the Intel Core chips for what

Yeah, like Tang!
Sorry, but ALL of you in this thread are wrong. The REAL Orange Book is FDA's list of approved drugs. Even Google agrees.
