Most recently, when Microsoft found itself behind the 8-ball and lacking a browser, Internet Explorer was quickly developer and in time, surpassed the capability of Netscape Navigator.
... by licensing Spyglass's technology (and ripping them off in the process).
Once managers find out about this, we'll be working 18 hour days. The phrase, "It's not like I have to sleep or anything," will become ironic rather than sarcastic.
The problem with the whiny brats on Slashdot is that most of them are too young to have gone through this already with OS/2 in the 1990s. Hopefully, the struggle with the ISVs doesn't end the same way (I don't expect it to with the protection afforded by the OSS model).
Your "logbook" is our "title". Your "purchasing tax" (holy crap, everything is a tax in the UK isn't it?) is our registration, I imagine. Americans have to reregister the car periodically (this varies from state to state) and this involves a license plate sticker and sometimes a window sticker.
I don't see how requiring proof that you are a licensed motor vehicle operator while operating a motor vehicle is a gestapo tactic. Requiring proof of identification when you are not operating a dangerous, fast moving piece of metal, certainly could be.
"The Creation Museum -- motto: 'Prepare to Believe!' -- will be the first institution in the world whose contents, with the exception of a few turtles swimming in an artificial pond, are entirely fake.
As opposed to museums of natural history, in which the contents are mostly fake (entire skeletons assembled from a handful of fossils) or wax museums (which are 100% fake).
The founding fathers were Deists, not Christian fundamentalists.
This is not a fact. Many of them are what modern leftists would call "Christian fundamentalists," and nearly all were of some sort of Protestant denomination. Your statement ignores the facts and appears to be based on the faulty logic that only non-Christians could found a nation based on the principle of separation of church and state. This is known as the circumstantial ah hominem fallacy.
The whole chrisitian religion is as full of logical holes as any other one. For example:
fornicators are to be shunned Mary was Joseph's wife, not God's God is a fornicator and Jesus a bastard
You're not much of a theologian. Don't quit your day job.
Obviously, a virgin birth via the Holy Spirit is not the same as sexual relations. God didn't come down and have sex with Mary like pagan gods often did in mythology (Zeus is a notorious example).
And don't bring out the "God didn't have sex with that woman!" line. It didn't wash with Clinton and his blow job, it doesn't wash with God knocking up some teen-ager. Or is oral sex now not classified as sex in the New New New Revised King James Version For Pedophile Preachers?
This doesn't even make any sense. Mary gave God a blow-job?
I read somewhere that Windows Vista includes applications with 5 different UIs because not everything was upgraded to work with the new Vista UI, and some of it hasn't been upgraded since 3.1.
Windows 3.1 was 16-bit. I don't think they're lazy enough to thunk their own OS tools through wowexec. I'm going to need a source for that. I mean, I read somewhere that Steve Ballmer is the mortal enemy of chairs and underarm deodorant. That sounds a lot more plausible.
Paris Hilton and Daryl Hannah! That's a big "LOL" good buddy!
I don't think this article does much to dispel the notion that female geeks are as rare as attractive Slashdotters. Would you consider Patrick Stewart a geek just because he was in ST:TNG and "Dune"?
Actually, the second quote, "you can't understand it unless you are a climatologist," would be a circumstantial ad hominem.

We are talking about ONE HUNDRED MILLION cars blowing CO2, polluting gasses, and particulates into the air every day. How is that amount of chemicals going to disappear ?
Err... chemical reactions and photosynthesis? I hear trees really like CO2.
The world cannot sustain 3 ton SUVs, Airbus jumbo jets, and lavish cruise ship vacations forever.
If you can explain to me how to fit eight passengers into a Honda insight, a hundred passengers into a Piper Cub, and five hundred passengers onto a rowboat, I'll agree with you. Until then, I'll say it's ridiculous to criticize conveyances that transport large numbers of people or freight. When properly utilized, they are far more efficient than an army of little hybrid cars. Or did you mean to suggest that, when the revolution comes, the proletariat will not be allowed to travel on vacation and have to stay in their little cubicles working 18 hours a day?
You do realize that 64-bit, 66 MHz PCI cards are readily available and nearly universally supported in enterprise hardware? And that PCI-X cards running at 133 MHz are not exotic? Oh yeah... and there's PCI-Express.
You're not even correct about the crossover. Automatic crossover is supported on all kinds of 100baseT gear, although it is not required as it is in the 1000baseT standard (because the Fast Ethernet standard predates the tech).

You equated pedophiles and terrorists with jaywalkers. I'm not sure how that qualifies as "Insightful."
I take it you know from personal experience, AC. And apparently you also know how to "google".
Wax museums don't even have the turtles!

The ability to regenerate limbs is a great advantage. Why would birds and mammals have lost this ability via evolution?
