That's true, he usually backs up every point he makes, even if once in a blue moon his reason is just "I don't like it". By far most of the time, his reasons are well-thought out and make sense (and that's whether you agree or not). He does seem to be softening a bit on it, I recall his earlier reviews being a lot less favorable in the UI department.
I myself haven't gotten the chance to try out 10.5 yet, but as soon as my parents get it, I'll go visit and see what it's like with my own eyes.
If you read the other reviews Siracusa did for Ars Technica, you'll see that he has a long and difficult history with the OS X GUI. If I were you I'd try out 10.5 myself and see if it is a worthwhile update or not. All in all, I got the impression from his interview that while there were some changes that he absolutely loathes (rounded menus etc), there are many as well which he have been longing for (disabling the "are you sure" check when changing extensions for instance) or which really impressed him with their usability (quicklook).

Care to give a bit more details on how you do this? I wouldn't want to accidentally delete all my mails and have to look through backups.
Well now there's a theory that can be disproven if crime does not decrease in coutries with later date lead regulation. It sounds a bit farfetched as stated in the summary, but I can imagine lead as one of many many factors that cause a person to become likely to commit a crime.
I did not call you a liar. Read my post again. Yes, I said I'm not inclined to believe you, but that does not equate me calling you a liar. Basically, I'm saying you may well be right, but your claim is pretty outlandish. As I mentioned, these claims always come up in wikipedia discussions on slashdot, and I've yet to see evidence for them. Naturally, my inclination to believe these claims decerese for every time I see them without any evidence to back them up.
Have a pint and a smoke and don't take the internet so seriouslyl.
It's cool. Sorry you had a shit experience, but that's not what I've seen happen. I'm not saying it didn't happen, but I'm not inclined to believe it. Everytime a Slashdot discussion about wikipedia comes up, 100s of people come outta the woodwork with one story worse than the next. Guy Number One had his anonymous contributious deleted. Guy Number Two had his mother raped. Guy Number Three had his ancestors' graves desecrated, Et cetera.
It gets old at length though.
In 4 years on wikipedia I've seen exactly one instance of revert-warring, and no instances of indiscriminate reversion of anonymous edits. Gimme some edit histories (nah, they've probably been deleted too).;:)
1. Look at the edit summary
2. Find the name of the bot that reverted you & click it
3. Find the user who runs the but and go to his page
4. Talk with him.
You're way too angry for way too little reason. I'd understand if you got angrty if someone shot your or something, but getting angry over a minor misunderstanding is... a bit much.
I was tempted to reply with "rv or" but seriously your post is a wild claim. I have 200+ pages on my watchlist, and while I cannot speak for other pages, I can tell you that anonymous edits do not get reverted by default. I've personally reverted some edits, and others have reverted others, but by far most edits have stayed in one form or another.
I'd say all companies have rabid fans and any perceived loudness of apple fans is probably due to their small size. Who gives a shit. All this Skub sucks/rules business is really boring and older than time.
Heh, I remember my teacher used to take my book when class started cause I usually didn't pay attention to what she was saying, instead opting to work ahead in the book. Now I'm lazy and don't do shit.

Yes, the summary pretty much says it's always the case :)

I'd say the conjugation has become quite regular.

Is there a company that does give a shit about how they treat their customers provided said pay up?
He's right you know. I'm atheist and I've killed myself already because I didn't have any reason to live in a world without meaning.
nipple? Anyway, the new iPod has a completely new interface so your complaints are kindof moot.
Don't be too careless. Apparently the URI Browser can be tricked into sending malicious data to Firefox!!

Nah the summary states that Microsoft and Windows will form a duopoly. Sounds about right. :(
But what if you have QT continually open a series of URLs with the VOIP data encoded in the request headers!? That won't be laggy at all :D
Or until it gets sold in Europe where cell companies are required to let users unlock the SIM block.
