Of course, in addition to being 100% compliant with all the standards, the browser should be able to render pages that already exist, many of which do not follow the standards.
Absolutely. Congrats should go out to MSFT that their new OS is more secure than their previous OS.

The point isn't to successfully send a group to Mars and back. The point is to develop the technology to send a group to Mars and back. That technology can obviously be used to further other deep space exploration/settlement projects in the future.
The idea is that: You feel sad because you lost a leg. You have yourself cloned to create a new leg. You transplant the leg from the clone to yourself so you don't feel sad anymore. Providing, of course, that you can convince the clone to give up a leg for you.
In real life there are more issues (not withstanding the moral issues if the clone is allowed to develop a brain). For instance, we are not purely a product of our genes. Otherwise identical twins would look identical until the moment they both suffered a heart attack and died. If you need a solid organ, it needs to be grown in a viable host. It's likely impossible using current (or near-future) technology to create a viable host that does not have brain activity.
Please correct me if I am wrong: From what I understand, the major danger from trips to Mars is poor shielding from cosmic rays and other forms of radiation during the trip. Any progress on that?
I've religiously paid my credit card in full every month for 7-8 years. Not only do I have a decent credit rating but with a call to the credit card company I have on a number of occasions increased the limit on my credit card. It's someone uncomfortably high right now (I think it's something like $12000), and I may decrease it in the near future.
Credit card companies make money because I am the exception to the rule. Most of the country (U.S.) lives with credit card debt (even if they have the means to pay it off).
Problem is when you "talk trash" with them and get arrested for something regarding child pornography.
Having a special icon when you are under the age of consent (A lovely debate on what *that* should be) is not just to protect the juvenile, but also everyone who interacts with them.
Actually, (If I recall correctly) Ubuntu has something similar in it's applications menu. It lists a number of popular applications by type and lets you install them with a single click (and typing in the administrator password, of course).
How about a phone that morphs like the Terminator from T2? Has a keyboard when you need it and turns into a non-descript piece of metal when you don't.
Just because it's not possible now doesn't mean it's impossible.
I had a genealogy site up a few years ago. I eventually took it down due to complaints from my (extended) family regarding privacy concerns. I had people emailing me asking to remove their mothers' maiden names from the database.
God only knows how something like ancestry.com manages to keep afloat with all the privacy concerns.
P.S. I would try to put my database back up and require registration for searching, but there is no way for me to validate any registration (to avoid identity theives), so the point is probably moot.
Yeah. I almost downloaded it just because I was curious of how Safari would look on Windows. (I stopped the download when I started reading about how this was a real Beta and not a release candidate build that we (as of late) have called Beta.)
Perhaps Apple will make Safari an optional download when people download quicktime or iTunes. If so, they will likely get a lot of IE converts.
While a couple years ago I would have said that they would not get a lot of Firefox users. But since Firefox is now mainstream, they will likely get a lot of converts from people that think the Firefox icon is for the internet and have no idea what an application really is.
Not just that, but the fact that his medical findings were made public was an invasion of his privacy. Not such a big deal for him, but maybe a big enough deal for the next person who is depressed and considering suicide to not want medical attention because of the extra attention it may bring on them if they fail.
Watch a snuff movie that came via a AT&T subscribed line? Blame them. ("Well, I knew that AT&T blocks illegal content. And I was allowed to download it. Therefore it must be legal.")
I am certainly not pro-microsoft, but I can't figure out what this guy is trying to say either. MS Office makes them millions. Why should they change anything? (I mean, from the point of view of a MSFT stockholder, not the point of view of someone/somegovernment who uses their products.) Sure, they may be force to open up some APIs to avoid fines in Europe, but that is the burden of being effectively a monopoly.
As mentioned earlier, for them to be forced to open up their source code is something that (to the best of my knowledge) has not being done to any software company in any jurisdiction so far. It basically means they lose their copyright and forced into the public domain.
Frankly, I don't think there is a single website and isn't multi-located that can survive an overt/. challenge. Because you *know* that a bunch of us will put the site on autorefresh every second until it goes down.
Could you imagine having Linus Torvalds in your advanced OS design class? **Shudder** He would likely heckle the instructor over every point and then ruin the curve on the exams (Or fail every project and final because of differing viewpoints.)
Considering the wide variety in his song writing career, it would be surprising (to me, at least), to find someone that listens to music in English but doesn't like anything that McCartney had a hand in writing.
Now, I'm sure that a bunch of people will come over and say they really don't like anything he wrote, just to make a point. But, heck, a guy that was part of the duo with 25 platinum singles on the Beatles alone ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Beatles_hit_s ingles#Singles_sales_figures ) probably knows how to write a good tune.

I said a lot of silly things back in the late 80's/early 90's in usenet (under another name), and it's still indexed in google.
