I understand your sentiment here, but I think that instead of stepping up and realizing that it's their own fault, they'll just happily blame Nader instead.
It's always easier to blame someone else than to modify one's behaviour.
Interesting. While working from home earlier this week, I needed to copy a big.tgz from my work computer to my home box. I was connected w/ CiscoVPN, and it seemed every time I tried moving a large file, it would lock up, and I'd be unable to reconnect for a few minutes.
I had initially attributed the problem to the fact that it had just gotten done storming, and perhaps there were connectivity issues (Thanks, Comcast), but now, like you, I am wondering if it's part of this filtering.
Perhaps because for all his saying he'd be happy to be searched, he conveniently left out any personally identifiable information, ensuring that he wouldn't be.
I don't have as much of a problem with someone saying "google it", as I do with someone saying they sent a "gmail". That to me is like someone saying they saw something on mIRC. It's the protocol vs a specific service.
Can I ever truly understand what you meant if I have to guess whether you meant there instead of their? If you're already making that mistake, perhaps you're leaving out what was theirs, or where whatever it was is.
"It's their..."
Does that mean it is over 'there', and the writer was too lazy to use the right word? Were they too lazy to say "It's their car"? Either way it's being left to me to determine which mistake they made and how to correct it. As a somewhat intelligent person I can make an educated guess, but what if I am wrong? What if they meant to tell me something else?
It's enough that we spend so much time reading what other people write without having to spend more time correcting their mistakes, even if we're only mentally correcting their mistakes.
Furthmore, we're playing games that deal in futuristic or past worlds that have little or no bearing to current events or technology.
Now we're complaining about wooden crates?
It makes no sense at all to compare what happens in fantasy to what exists in reality. Yes, wooden crates do exist in reality, so do packing peanuts. I haven't seen packing peanuts in a game either, so does someone want to submit a story here regarding the lack thereof?

Check out the huge DFLs on that one...
A murderer?

Can I finish? Can I finish?
Of course not! Quicktime disabled our vision.
I call BS. It would take less time to develop dynamic websites that conform to standards than to have to code around existing browser inconsistencies.
Thank you for providing me with the first laugh of the day!

Don't forget about Logic Pro!
So does that mean any OS that supports a hosts file is immediately banned?
"You seriously think that Apple drops Mac OS X after millions of dollars have been spent developing it"
I sure as hell hope you're right, but remember the Newton?
From the article:
"An aircraft carrier must fight, and find the enemy, and do a lot of other stuff."
Brilliant writing there. Very eloquent. No, really, I mean it, and other stuff.
You meant "friendly note", right?
Perhaps because for all his saying he'd be happy to be searched, he conveniently left out any personally identifiable information, ensuring that he wouldn't be.
What?
As a guy that wants to get laid again, let me just say that this study is completely inaccurate.
I don't have as much of a problem with someone saying "google it", as I do with someone saying they sent a "gmail". That to me is like someone saying they saw something on mIRC. It's the protocol vs a specific service.

I sit corrected. But still. She probably gazes at the stars, accomplishing the same thing.
Doesn't this bloody astronomer realize that she is also changing the natural order of the universe by the mere fact that she's observing these events?

If you're interested in that sort of thing, you may want to read more about semiotics, if you haven't already.
If they can't stop the bleeding, they're not going to be able to stop the saline from leaking out either.
