As a Koine Greek major (the language from which evangelist and zealot and their cognates originate), I would like to clear some things up about the word usage here.
An evangelist is someone who delivers good news. It is not an explicitly Christian word, though it has come to have heavy Christian connotations. The good news that Christian evangelists deliver is the gospel (lit. good news). So it seems that this discussion deals more with the negative connotations of "evangelism" as is it perceived from the twenty-first century western world. Therefore if you read the basic definition of "evangelism" into the title "Is Apple & Community Evangelizing Into Uncoolness," it makes absolutely no sense.
A zealot is "jealous" or "zealous" person. It does not necessarily mean that the person is irrational, just passionate. This is another case of people confusing connotation with denotation.
I just wanted to clear the air in this confusing semantic discussion of "Evangelists v. Zealots." How to apply this term to Apple users is another issue!
I have noticed that it is en vogue to bash the acting of Star Wars episodes I-III. However, after watching III, I watched IV-VI, and discovered that bad acting is something which plagues the entire series.
Also of note is how much Lucas' writing and directing style have changed. Episode IV is very slow paced compared to III. There is only one light-sabre battle, and it consists of Obi-Wan and Darth walking around calmly while being careful not to break a sweat. Contrast that to III, which has tons of sabre (and other) battles, and it quite fast paced.
Now if he just customized some 4 color LED fans he could combine this case with the USB-controlled LED dance floor we saw a while back, he would really have something going on.
In my opinion, the most formulaic sitcom in the United States in recent years was Home Improvement.
1. Tim wants to make some sort of souped-up home improvement.
2. Tim makes fun of Al.
3. Tim has a hillarious accident on Tool Time.
4. Tim offends someone close to him.
5. Tim seeks advice from Wilson.
6. Tim misquotes Wilson when making ammends.
7. Everyone is happy!
It was totally mindless yet entertaining.

In other words, just because you were the first person to invent a device, it doesn't mean that you can rightfully own a patent for it. So if some young inventor creates something and some other company swipes it, it is a race to the patent office. I am guessing that a big company's lawyers know a shortcut or two.
Incidentally, a fun game, if you're ever bored, is to imagine what would happen to the human body if one were to hold and fire a rail gun (even a wimpy one that shot at a mere 1,600m/s and not at "near the speed of light"), and the law of conservation of momentum actually worked. Really! Try at parties!
Yeah, but he is the Terminator! He is living flesh over a metal endoskeleton. That means he is heavy and strong enough to compensate for the kick on one of those rail-guns.
Normally I have some sort of mnemonic device connected with my passwords. If I can think of the key, say "rootbeer," I can remember my password "r00|b3eR." So if you write down the key of a mnemonic device, someone else who reads it will not likely be able to extrapolate the password from the key (if they even realize it is a mnemonic key), though you will.
With LG products I believe you can use BitPim to synchronize with iSync. At the very least it is a nice cross-platform app for managing the data on your LG phone.
I think you'll find that true communism in the spirit of Marx doesn't have anything to do with censorship . ..
. . . but it does call for state-run media. The internet clearly fits into the category of "media" and therefore should come under the control of a Marxist government.
Of course, this is a moot point because not many/.ers doubt that China will use this control to censor the internet.
I am shocked that the results of an election can change so much between recounts. Here we are in the information/computer age, and a swing of several hundred among 2.9 million in a simple count is unacceptable. Where else is that sort of margin of error acceptable?
Why can't we develop a more accurate system for counting votes? With our current resources, the court contest in Washington should have been a moot point: we should have known the exact vote totals without room for doubt.
It seems to me that it is technically impossible to emulate an analog system (our brain) on a digital system (the computer) with total accuracy. Correct my logic if it is fallicious.

How does TFA bear on the debate between Darwin's Origin of Specieis and the so-called pseudo-science of Intelligent Design?

Indeed, I believe that the greatest irony of this story is that Armstrong committed suicide thinking that his invention was a failure.

Sounds funny, but it is not far from the truth.
Too bad it wasn't "fuzzy math."

Worst . . . casemod . . . ever!
. . . Halliburton has won a no-bid contract from the Bush administration to fix the "$1 billion" of damages.
Perhaps it has taken the top spot in the area of telecommunications or some other category. Obviously IBM and Walmart are worth more than Google.
Well, it couldn't make the gaming situation for Mac any worse because, well, you get the idea.

I can imagine Apple users accepting Intel processors, but a two button mouse? Never.

I believe that the "vegetable oil" they use to make french fries at McDonalds could qualify as "beefy acid."
Do we really need computers taking over the arts too?
