I don't SMB2. It's like a totally different Super Mario Bros. game. I hear SMB3 is going to totally rock, though! Rumors are that it will be featured in that "Wizard" movie that's coming out!
That's called a straw man. Most people don't commit generally acknowledged crimes such as rape and murder because of the legal penalties, at least. Also, there is a spiritual element in the Christian attitude that suggests a believer doesn't do evil because it makes you feel bad, not that you actually fear punishment. See 1st Corinthians, chapter 6.
Every year, it sounds like a collection of trolls interspersed with a few insightful individuals. Some of these trolls use this annual interview as a platform for their beliefs, usually anti-faith. Yes, we realize that most scientists and "thinkers" are agnostics or atheists, and they are every year. How is this a change? We have David Bodanis calling the Bible "inane" based on an belief about the city of Jericho that is actually still subject to debate. We have Patrick Bateson begging questions about alleged biblical inconsistencies. And what is Alan Alda doing in there? I suppose they wanted a celebrity affirmation of their attitudes. It really doesn't make any sense; as the only person that doesn't seem to know that Alan Alda is, has been, and probably always will be agnostic, is Alan Alda. This isn't news.
You're no better than the gun-control fanatics who want to ban all firearms because some people use them irresponsibly. Fine the people who don't pick up their dog's poop, and it will stop.
You shouldn't use an apostrophe with plural nouns ("1700s"). It's just best to avoid such terminology if it has a history of being misinterpreted. Make the terms fit humans, not the other way around. A perfectly good alternative is "the 18th century."
- Misuse of apostrophes is not new - Jesus was performing miracles much greater than the lame "appearing in toast and half-eaten fruit" tricks he does now.
ABS doesn't kick in until you've already hit your brakes. So why are you claiming that if "left to your own devices" you would not have used the brakes at all? I've never been spun around by ABS. In fact, the opposite is true: ABS may actually lengthen your stopping distance, but it helps you maintain control.
His point is that if you criticize his method of obtaining power (coal, nuclear) and provide an unworkable alternative (solar), you're wasting his time. Telling someone to move because they live in New Freakin Hampshire (Live Free or Die) is preposterous.

Err... doesn't the article say that SP1 DOES solve some performance issues?

What makes you think "puritans" are behind this?

Plasma will match, if not exceed, the quality of a CRT. Unfortunately, plasma is also daggone heavy.
We're talking about people who watch movies, not people like you.
It's a shame that your post doesn't say anything "new" or "insightful", or offer any "solutions" to the "problems" you "suggest".

They didn't have U160 SCSI ten years ago, and the standard sizes for SCSI disks don't include 32 GB (I assume you mean UW SCSI at 40 MB/s and 36 GB).
Just wait until the Democrats outlaw sarcasm!
It's not nearly enterprisey enough. Where's the AJAX?

And here I thought a masterbaiter was a skilled fisherman. You learn something new every day!
So they did pump and dump scams back then, too?
I just learned two things about the 18th century:
- Misuse of apostrophes is not new
- Jesus was performing miracles much greater than the lame "appearing in toast and half-eaten fruit" tricks he does now.
Try not buying bacon at the dollar store next time, troll.
You are being far too polite to that belligerent jackass. I commend you.

That's a really huge straw man you've constructed there.
You're wrong. And have you ever heard of the Autobahn? Germans aren't necessarily better drivers.
Try lowering your idle speed!

Apparently, not many have.
