And here we have the triumph of the capitalists in microcosm. If even those who call themselves Socialists will lie and cheat to avoid contributing to the common good, what hope then for Socialism?
Just because there are flaws in socialism doesn't mean capitalism is the answer. Given two extremes, the middle ground is general the best direction to go.
They're just playing it safe. Since each new release (beta or not) contains some changes, there's always a chance that one of those changes will negatively affect a particular extension. All the extension author needs to do is check that it's working and increment the version number. I realize this is inconvenient (especially when new releases come out every few weeks at this point in the cycle), but it's the only way to be sure that things work. If you don't care about being sure (as I don't), go ahead and use this hack.
At least they allow authors to use future version numbers once Firefox is stable -- an extension can be ready for 2.0.0.* so that every little security fix that Mozilla issues (which is not supposed to change the API or features) won't break the extension.
Collect your online work into your own portfolio and put that online (with the URL on your resume). That way many employers will see your work without all the crap that might show up in a Google search. If they want to Google you anyway then they will and you can't control that, but putting your best work forward might satisfy their curiosity or at least draw a line between what you're serious about and what you've put on the web as part of your personal life.
If you give your employer enough information to get a good picture of you, they likely won't look much further. And a portfolio gives you control over what they'll see.
Actually, those who are smart enough not to waste their lives working 60+ hours/week with laughable vacation time for a company who will fire them at the drop of a hat when profits dip.0025% for the quarter and provide lousy benefits are the ones who choose to work for the government instead.
I agree with most of your post, but as education varies by state, your "special ed" section doesn't always apply. My fiancée is a special ed teacher in New York State and she works in the same classroom as the rest of the students. There is a main, "regular ed" teacher who conducts the class while she works individually with the special ed students to keep them up to speed. They all take the same tests and have the same amount of work to do, and many of them do better (probably due to the personal attention that all students could benefit from). Granted these kids have learning disabilities, ADD, Asperger's, and other 'milder' disabilies; those with Down Syndrome, non-mild Autism, and mental retardation are in a different class governed by different rules.
running does little or nothing for building up muscle bulk, and it's a high impact exercise (as opposed to something like swimming or cycling, where you're not pounding the pavement the whole time).
Sounds like you're not swimming the right way.
Now, does anyone have any Lava soap? This hot asphalt is a bitch to clean off.
I was thinking of the beginning of another movie, when the boy plugs a device into an ATM to scan for a card number and/or PIN so he can finagle some cash out of it.

Trebuchet comes with Windows and is quite nice-looking for web browsing. It shows a little curl at the bottom of lowercase Ls and the pipe is thinner and slightly subset, so those three characters look different.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that a 12", $100 dish doesn't perform the same in the rain as the 100', multi-million dollar dishes Comcast uses.
Exactly. All (or nearly all) ISPs and cable TV providers, as well as local network affiliates, use big satellites to receive signals from the networks. ESPN is not going to run dedicated cables from Bristol, CT to every single provider in the country, that would be ridiculous. If you have a huge satellite dish on your house and you regularly maintain it (clean it, check the insulation for leaks, brush off the snow and ice) then you'll get a fantastic signal as well. But the only way you could afford that is to sell access to your signal via wires to people in your neighborhood, which would make you a cable provider.
You mean a system like this. The basic idea is that a central system knows where all the cars are and can re-route them to prevent traffic jams and to minimize the travel time (even if it means adding distance). Just jump into one, punch in your destination, and go.
I would love it if Google just banned some sites from appearing on their search results, like about.com. This would improve there service.
This wouldn't make any sense. PageRank determines the popularity and usefulness of a page, so the reason you find a lot of about.com pages in your results is because people generally like them and find them useful. It's the web users' faults, not Google's.
Except for the fact Australia is generally one of the countries where police use their discretion to let common sense prevail, rather than haul people away for breaching the letter of the law.
You're right. Other countries haul people away for breaching the letter of the law, then dump them in Australia.

I know a little German. He's sitting right over there.

Trekking is often done best by yourself (or at least I prefer it that way) - you can spend days without meeting another sole
Barefoot marathon running is another way to exercise without meeting a sole.
Get outside - there are less people around than you might expect and it's good for the sole.
So is... aw, never mind.

Right-click? I know OSX supports two-button mice, but it doesn't come with them, right?
Sounds familiar.

What is 'LTS'? I tried google and wikipedia.
For those at don't get it, it's a reference to Lost (and actually the first thing I thought of before laser beams).
