It's a real treat when you find a site that is static html. It's fast, clean, and refreshing. Flash and Ajax have their place, but more often than not they just irritate me. I'm tired of sites that peg my CPU and crash my browser.
Maybe I'm just getting old and cynical, but I'm sure Moonlight will only contribute to web bloat and add to my frustrations. And that is being generous and not bring up that MS is part of the equation.
I just hope this fails to catch on and people forget about it.
The CC numbers are probably sold through various layers of various criminal organizations. If they made arrests it would probably just be people at the end of the chain. Granted they could try to them to turn states evidence if they had any info that would lead back up the chain.
What is MORE interesting is similar but older research cited in TFA:
Positive personality traits associated with liberalism (self-reliant, resilient, dominating and energetic) and negative ones attributed to conservatism (easily victimized or offended, indecisive, fearful and rigid) appear as young as nursery schoolâ"age kidsâ"and correlate with those children's political beliefs in adulthood, according to a 20-year study published in 2006 in the Journal of Research in Personality. More recently, scientists linked the strength of a person's startle response to their political leanings: conservatives tended to scare easier, blinking harder than liberals when they heard a loud noise.
When HUGE taxpayer expenditures like this are voted through and signed into law in less than a week, despite 3 out of 4 Americans being strongly against them - it's clear we no longer live in a Democracy at all! This seems like as good a reason for an overthrow of our government as what we dealt with back around 1776!
Be careful there, you might find yourself on the no fly list.:)
Seriously tho, well said. Our government is out of control.
If I have things to do I'll use as much free software as possible to get it done, even if that requires a little extra hassle. But I'm not going to reorder my life just to be "pure".
Additionally, I figure it's better if people are using OS'es that are 95% free than not using a free system at all.
What is important is for the community to continue pushing, requesting, pleading and working towards the goal of 100% purity.
his is a disingenuous argument put forth by people who want the corrupt two-party system to continue If you want end the "currupt two-party system then you have to change our electoral system, in particular winner take all congressional seats. See Duverger's law
Until that changes, a vote for a 3rd party is a wasted vote.
If getting rid of the AM band gets rid of all those fundie talk shows, I say nuke it NOW! From orbit! With sharks with frigging lazers stapped to their heads!
I wish it were that simple. The problem is they are like cockroaches, when you try to kill them they just come back stronger. They thrive on persecution.
I've been in the same situation several times and I've come to the conclusion that it's best just to hire some one to do the design. If you you don't have an artistic sensibility you will just end up wasting a lot time, getting frustrated, and making something that looks like shit. Find a designer that does work that you like and have them just make the mockup image. Then you can take the image and slice it up and make the html/xhtml/css to your exact standards compliant specifications.
Python is a very large porn company. And they have the domain name python.com. It's not just a SEO'ed page. So if your query is just "Python" id expect it to be a relevant result.

Agreed! I just hope that if at the last minute if they decide to become "the good guys" that the collective voice of humanity calls BS. They have gone way to far, far to long. The only justice at this point is for their entire empire to crumble into tens of thousands of pieces to be picked up by true innovators and artists.
the FTC's decision appears to be thought out and a message to remind people to not let the subject of Net Neutrality be abandoned by the general public so corporations could undermine the interest of consumers. Can we please stop referring to ourselves as just consumers. Citizens have rights and responsibilities. Consumers are like cattle to be taken care of by their corporate overlords.
I wish Google would fix their increasing problem with all the spam and junnk pages that clutter up search results before launching a thousand random projects: Orkut, Gmail, IM, tool bar, dark fiber, Gkitchen sink...

I'd really like to read about this from a source other than Fox news.

What I want to see is a Google Mars with all the images of the probes/rovers organized in some way.
As a Charter customer I guess now is the time for > ssh -D 9999 me@myserver.com
How can I get in on this?
$19.5 billion, Sounds like such a small number these days... What is that, a few weeks in Iraq? Or, 1/10 the amount it cost to bail out Bear Sterns?

Well, he is.
This is old news - didn't Newsweek have this guy on the front cover like 8 years ago? I think Wired did a write up as well back in the day.

Isn't FreeBSD developed by a committee? It seems to do ok.

LMAO
I have serious doubts of Sun's business model.
Sure - but your network would only be as good/big as the people use it. Some guy tried a while back http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AlterNIC

I guess it's rational for me to become a hit man.
