If 50 heart attacks had been caused deliberately (e.g. by poisoning) then people would sit up and take notice.
I live in London and whilst I think it panders to the terrorists to make the news so prominent, it is a very significant event, particularly as the final number of casualties is as yet unknown. I think it would be a disservice to the families and friends of those victims to try and hush up the news.
On the other hand, the reporting, and response to the attack in London has been very restrained, and I think helps give the lie to the baseless terrorist assertion that Britain is in now "quivering in fear". Many people I know were using the tube again the next day, and would probably have gone home by tube the same afternoon if they had been able to - they certainly used the bus service.
If the media coverage of the event is telling us anything, it is that the terrorist attacks were mostly ineffective and that our resolve to oppose them is increased by this atrocity.
Yes, what you've typed does sound exactly what you typed earlier but if you were to read TFA you would note that it isn't occam's razor. If you're too stupid to understand what the article says then I can't be bothered to explain it to you.
"If the guy who discovers his biology determines his behavior, and he's sophisticated enough to change the biology... what does it mean when he chooses to do that?"
That he was predetermined to make the choice to change it, and furthermore, that his/her choice of what to change it to was also predetermined.
"And the freeddom to use the code in closed commercial applications makes it *even more free* than restricting it to only other open source projets."
It's only "*even more free*" in the short term. As soon as some punk improves it and closes the source the whole thing becomes much less free.
Which I imagine would be particularly irritating if they took something you'd written, added a function that you really wanted but didn't have the time / ability to code, and then deprived you of the right to use their modifications of *your* work without paying them a fee.
Just fyi command.com is a legacy application. The windows 2k shell is cmd.exe which is much better, it may not be bash but it has tab auto-complete and various other useful things.
As far as I'm aware IE does not directly run the shell: protocol but provides a dialogue offering the option to run / save / etc.
And yes, Mozilla is cross-platform, but Firesomething is designed for windows (with ports being a secondary consideration) - it doesn't seem unreasonable to expect some security protocol changes in light of that fact.
Gentoo is also a good way to learn linux because it has comprehensive documentation and the online forums are generally very helpful but...
Don't believe that Gentoo is teaching you about how linux actually works. Portage and rc-update hide away a lot of the nuts and bolts that you would need to learn using a standard linux system.
If you are keen to learn everything have a try with linux from scratch - it left me begging for mercy;-)
I know the poster goes on to say that he excludes franchises as well as sequels but GTA3 was a ground-breaking and original game - it seems a bit harsh to exclude it on the basis that it shares its name with a top-down 2d crime game....

There is another way around this. From what I have read so far it would be for Apple to license of their fairplay encryption scheme.

I want you to think long and hard about your reply; and then maybe you'll realise why you're a fuckwit.

That's not really what Occam's razor means. Look here for more guidance:

True enough. Do you ever wonder if the trolls post as an AC and then reply to it as themselves - you know, to sort of get the ball rolling?

Or you could just google for it again, to save having to mirror the entire internet (or at least, every page you've ever visited in error).

Also no problem with Win NT or Win 9X. So arguably the reason behind the fault is something Microsoft did in Win 2000
I hate to be picky but isn't Firefox designed for XP / 2k - so you'd think the devs might consider security flaws in them to be an important issue.
