Definitely reduce. Next time somebody is confused about what Free Software is, you just point to this web-site and say "See? If a beer was Free-like-in-Free-Software this is how it would be Free"
Sure, now that you're born, _you_ aren't going to feel sorry and neither are those who know you cause they love you. But that also means that you're looking at this from a skewed perspective.
Because by that logic, isn't a person justified in say having five hundred children? And wouldn't birth control be kind of wrong, because "think of all those unborn children"
Fonts can grow or shrink. Tables can add or lose lines. Colors can change. Although none of these capabilities are new to programmers accustomed to building client applications -- or, for that matter, Java applets -- they are novelties to Web designers who would otherwise be forced to rely on Macromedia (Profile, Products, Articles) Flash.
All of this was possible long before xmlhttprequest/ajax came along. The difference now is requests can be made to the server while this shit happens.
I was always bothered about how absolutely mind-bogglingly idiotic that "fossils were put here to test our faith" shit was. In fact, it's so idiotic that I never knew how to succinctly counter it (..a limitation of my intelligence, I know).....
The Parent comment is simply fucking beautiful, damn!
But it's too early to worry about that. Let Google achieve some semblance of power before we start wishing for more competitors. Google is nowhere near monopolising the industry. More competitors right now is a bad thing for Google which is a good thing for MS.
Patrick Peak (co-author of Hibernate Quickly) has made a comparision of Hibernate and Active Revord based on factors other than performance. Very informative.
However it is devoid of any insight or meaning. Listen to George Carlin use the same tactic, but providing a lot more insight:
You know where the sanctity of life came from? We made it up. You know why? 'Cuz we're alive. Self-interest. Living people have a strong interest in promoting the idea that somehow life is sacred. You don't see Abbott and Costello running around, talking about this shit, do you? We're not hearing a whole lot from Musolini on the subject. What's the latest from JFK? Not a goddamn thing. 'Cuz JFK, Musolini and Abbott and Costello are fucking dead. They're fucking dead. And dead people give less than a shit about the sanctity of life. Only living people care about it so the whole thing grows out of a completely biased point of view. It's a self serving, man-made bullshit story.
It's one of these things we tell ourselves so we'll feel noble. Life is sacred. Makes you feel noble. Well let me ask you this: if everything that ever lived is dead, and everything alive is gonna die, where does the sacred part come in? I'm having trouble with that.'Cuz, I mean, even with all this stuff we preach about the sanctity of life, we don't practice it. We don't practice it. Look at what we'd kill: Mosquitos and flies. 'Cuz they're pests. Lions and tigers. 'Cuz it's fun! Chickens and pigs. 'Cuz we're hungry. Pheasants and quails. 'Cuz it's fun. And we're hungry. And people. We kill people... 'Cuz they're pests. And it's fun!

Oooooooooooooooooookay!
I sometimes wonder, 'Does Gates ever read comments to stories about Windows on Slashdot?' And if so, does he find them funny and laugh?

They just wanna have fun
This should be +10 (+5 Funny and +5 Insightful)
Grandparent is being sarcastic
...about how one-third of all Slashdot stories are dupes.
This bullshit gets modded +5?
Damn! That Comet Probe is screwing everything up!
So what should the mods do when I express one of my legitimate views, but I do it for the sole purpose of flamebaiting?
Do intentions matter?
Firing her ensures everybody else double-checks what they do. Worth it.
You almost forgot Poland!
Ha ha ha! Oh gosh that's funny! That's really funny! Do you write your own material? Do you? Because that is so fresh. You are the weakest link goodbye. You know, I've, I've never heard anyone make that joke before. Hmm. You're the first. I've never heard anyone reference, reference that outside the program before. Because that's what she says on the show right? Isn't it? You are the weakest link goodbye. And, and yet you've taken that and used it out of context to insult me in this everyday situation. God what a clever, smart girl you must be, to come up with a joke like that all by yourself. That's so fresh too. Any, any Titanic jokes you want to throw at me too as long as we're hitting these phenomena at the height of their popularity. God you're so funny!
I always have to laugh when I hear "Land of the Free" in reference to America. How's that Slave system working out for you?

(a) isn't irony. It's just plain weird.
Get the Beta book http://pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/rails/index. html
If you're interested in Rails at all, this book is all you need.

The moderation to the parent post was sarcastic sarcastic-sarcasm.

The pages linked from ads aren't pre-fetched
But I think I'll polish it up over the weekend and post in for the next dupe
It's going to be fun when Google's IFL link changes in 5 years. More likely too.
