"Nuclear proliferation will never be tolerated. If you sell those bombs on the black market, expect your nuclear reprocessing plants to be obliterated. And if you're lucky, we will spare your regime too."
And should you tell this to a regime that has nothing left to lose..?
Feel free to file a complaint. Seriously, we as a people don't seem to have much of an impact on this decision making process. At least with Iraq (which was of course inferred) we got off our high horse after a while; we stopped pretending they were a threat and adopted an oil-for-food program. Damn, pretty blunt to me. And we wonder why there are "pockets of resistance" scattered throughout the region.
North Korea at the very least? Lots of places, sheesh. And there are a lot of old Soviet scientist with nothing in their wallets but nuclear warhead schematics. Come on, open your eyes a little bit.
Because, you know, there's never any social engineering on eBay before this acquisition. Some of the more elaborate scams I've ever seen have been on eBay; this explains their 24-hour fraud team.
"In my experience, the combination of an Oracle database, Windows operating system, Unix hardware and an Apache webserver is a bad combination."
Windows on Unix hardware indeed. Most people wouldn't survive that experience.
Actually, and don't flame me, I'm trying to learn, what's so bad about Windows + Oracle + Apache? It's not perfect but hell, it doesn't sound terrible either. Oracle makes anything better.
You make a good point. But I've got faith that the Firefox guys will put up a more solid patch soon, to get IDN working as it should. For many people this will be a "good enough" fix. Many other people won't be satisfied with it, as you said. The important thing is the flaw's identified and a tentative fix is in place. Now they can just elaborate on it. That's how I would do it, anyway.
From what I read in yesterday's article it was more than a little serious. Going from broken to patched in a day is a damn good turnaround.
Or it could just be, you know, breathlessly delivered news. This is possible.:) Either way, thank you Firefox team. The local high school is going to be transitioning over to Firefox within a few weeks, to coincide with moving in to a newly built school. I can't say I'm not more surprised about Firefox than the new school.
Honestly that movie looked iffy to me when I was working at the local Cinemark, I'd have to watch the trailer between 15 and 20 times a day (all the trailers really). But I can assure you that, if I had decided to watch it, I'd have been far too busy staring at Scarlett Johannson to notice this.
It was rather poorly worded on second viewing, I was implying the kind of product Google can come out with to rival it in a fairly short time. Google Talk isn't much to look at yet, but you can be sure it's going to improve. Hell, even Gmail forced all the competing websites to "put up or shut up".
As far as the average end user is concerned, Microsoft may very well have made the internet. This only stands to exacerbate that view. It's kind of like AOL. AOL is not, in fact, it's own internet, but shame on should you try and explain this to someone that uses it.
"Two months later Overture filed a second lawsuit, charging Google with patent infringement in its pay-for-performance ad system."
No, god forbid some other company decides to make you pay for services. It's obvious that Overture was the first to come up with that idea, dag nabbit!
In other news, I make 3 cents in royalties for every fork ever produced for the next 3000 years. =)
"[B]ut this also uses a laser to ignite the propellant, has multiple barrels and incorporates a minicam to record as evidence what you are shooting at. It's a very different gun design, and one that depends on electronics to make it work."
Same premise as any other gun, this just...makes it easier to be arrested for murder?
So, the solution would be...to find some way to neutralize these other reactions to restore the equilibrium? Bear with me, I'm not too bright with this stuff.

A preemptive nukular strike, sir.

It was more in the nature of amused sarcasm, but it's kind of hard to articulate. :) Neat extentions, btw. I like LeetKey. :)

All links are verified safe by Stephen Hawking. And Microsoft. And Starbucks Coffee.
This coming from the author of a Firefox extension?

This is true I suppose. I do have one of the old AOL diskettes that say "Join the hundreds of people on the internet!". Ah, it makes me smile. :)

This is talking about a new web platform for developers. So why couldn't Google utilize this as well and remain on top of the heap?
Personally, I'm a big fan of Google for their honesty.
"How do you get listed on top, Google?"
"Pay up, bitch."
Fine with me, and the amount of revenue it pulls in gives us end users a LOT of cool stuff to play with (Virtual Earth, anyone?)
"Now(or very soon) I shall be windows free."
"You'll need an installed Windows version of the game to start the binary."
You're not Windows-free yet, son.

Hmm, here I thought it was the sun after day 493 of comparing projector deterioration for 8 hours.
The LCD isn't deteriorating after 4000 hours, your eyes are.
If Dubya can fire one bullet and it hits every evildoer in Iraq...well, I want me one of those is all I can say. =)

For the love of god, put a picture on that page! My buttcheeks are clenching with suspense!

bluesoul88 would like to apologize for that last comment. =)
