What do you mean, in the situation of true polygamy with multiple husbands and wives the children have multiple mothers and fathers -- everyone lives together. Parents don't have to be biological parents.
As humans, we have to rise above this non-commitment, because regardless of a specific gene, societies in which commitments are made and upheld are inherently more stable and peaceful than those in which no one can trust anyone's word. As humans, our goal should be to form stable societies that are best for us, not to follow our genetic dispositions.
Except that we're talking about monogamy, not commitment. It is possible to be in a committed relationship, have sexual relations with more than one person and not be dishonest about it. Since we're talking about logic, reason and whatnot. It is also quite possible to have a stable and trusting society where this behaviour is not taboo.
My birthday isn't based on when my mother wrote to my father telling her she was going to go off and get pregnant by a cab driver called Terry.
I've always thought it would make more sense to celebrate one's conception day rather than birthday as that is one's true age. The biggest problem for most people with this is being put in mind of their parents having sex.
Oh god, why am I feeding this troll? V8 kicks every other JS implementation in the pants. I'm going to see if I can use it for server-side stuff a la jaxer.
Who said anything about competing by making by hand. These guys are designing an open-spec device that could be mass-manufactured cheaply by our friends in China for everyone.
Are you saying that community hardware design can not be as good as "industry" design?
Google didn't forget Poland but If you look at the Time Zone tab of the Windows Date and Time Properties Poland has sunk to the bottom of the Baltic Sea. I don't know if they fixed this in Vista but it's been there for many versions.
But people are easily confused, and probably too used to the URL field being at the top, so it might be better to place the tabs at the bottom (or the sides).
The "normal" people I have observed using the Interwebs use Google to search for the address they want and don't even seem to be aware of the address bar at all.
They're not competing with Mozilla, Opera, Apple OR KDE; They're competing with Microsoft. Supporting the "alternate" browsers makes business sense -- It also makes the web a better place. It's a mutual arrangement too remember, Google gets linked to from the browsers it supports.
At least in Scotland, bloody and cunt are everyday words -- unlikely to offend. Fanny, however is just about the most offensive thing you could call someone.
"The rules seemed to change, and they told me it had to be one word, so I tried 'censorship', but they didn't like that, and then said it had to be no more than six letters long."
I would have then asked for it to be changed to bollox and then proceeded with increasingly vulgar suggestions. Fanny would be a good choice.
The same thought occurred to me, however would you trust an operator not to make a typo or know e.g. the difference between its and it's; would you even trust their internal system to be safe from an SQL injection?
If it's teh exact same file then a simple hash will do the trick. I'd be interested to see an automated way of detecting the same photo at different resolutions/compression levels/crops.
I don't give Google a cookie so that wouldn't work for me.
If you're using Firefox, you could however set up a "quick search" bookmark with your preferences. My Google QS is currently http://google.com/search?q=%s with a keyword of g. So I type "g something" in the address bar and am taken to http://google.com/search?q=something. You could add a bookmark for http://google.com.au/search?q=%s+-patent.

Polygamy does not necessarily imply polygyny, some cultures have relationships with multiple husbands and wives.

I'm put in mind of mirror neurons which fire sympathetically and seem to account for the ability of animals to mimic and thus learn novel behaviour.

There is nothing innovative in Chrome.

I prefer the results of Gecko to WebKit but it's just a mater of taste/personal preference.

Tree-sytle tabs is a nice UI concept, I haven't seen it done well yet but give it some time.
Tab is a separate process is a very good idea -- Mozilla guys, can we please have this soon.

Cannabis is only one of those things.
I believe that Pencil (2D drawing and animation) and the Pencil Firefox add-on (GUI prototyping tool) are different applications. Both seem pretty cool though.
That's so dumb though:
Honey, what's this "Porn Mode" option in your browser?
As if you wouldn't call it something boring and geeky like "Advanced Options".
When I read that I totally heard it in Jon Heder's voice.
Read Taco's response to this.
Then, humbly I make this suggestion (context).

Let's petition CmdrTaco to banish samzenpus to Idle, where his delusions of adequacy will better fit in.
Let us start tagging idleispants.

Proposal: make every web-design student use a text-only browser (like lynx) for the first 2 years of school.
Web-design school... LOL, that's a good one.
Seriously though, using a screen reader is a good learning experience.
I wish more people would jump on the "Works Anyhow" bandwagon.
I think we're talking about the Palaeolithic era, not the stoned age.
