...why not abolish the corporation as a legal construct? Why should those who run a business not be responsible for what it does, like everyone and everything else? Let them get insurance like the rest of us!
(And I urge everyone here to watch The Corporation to see why corporations are Bad(tm).)
Either someone doesn't know how to make a proper trademark symbol, or else the Air Force has a wierder marketing department that one would imagine ("'ALONtm'? Alontum? With odd capitalization? Wha? Is this like that whole Sony Wega/Vega nonsense?").

It's possible for something to be "virtually scratch resistant" -- practically, but not technically, offering some resistance to being scratched
A quick look shows they've donated over $28B and over $1B each year.
Uh, no. It says their endowment -- the amount in the bank -- is currently $28B. They are required to donate at least 5% of their assets per year, which, therefore, is currently over $1B/yr.
Still a boatload of cheddar. Hey Bill! Care to give to the "Atario Solvency Fund"?
Right. Your browser pretends to do something you can do yourself by filling in a form or clicking a link or whatever. Then it's done. "Infect your browser" implies there's something changed about your browser, rather than just your MySpace settings.
It does no such thing. It changes settings in a website. Assuming he's not using some actual exploit, and just doing the kind of thing he explains about (it's really an interesting read, I suggest you have a look), the "worst that could happen" would be that he gets you to spew a bunch of requests at his own site.
At least there's not an infinite number of IE users. From TFA:
Internet Explorer's market share as of Friday, Sept. 23, said WebSideStory, was 88.46 percent
So we know that not more than 88.46% of people take whatever is put in front of them. My worry is that it's not much less than that. Which might explain a lot of recent election results.
(usually stupid Americans) bitch about the Indian people's names being hard to pronounce. So, to you Mr. or Mrs. or Ms. backslashdot, here's a little clue: every language but English is phonetic. No other language has stupid rules where Y is 'sometimes' a vowel - where C is sometimes K - where "tongue" is pronounced "tung"
English is just as phonetic as all those others -- mainly because its spellings and pronunciations are derived from all those others. Your confusion arises because you don't know how (that?) different words in English come from different languages, and you need to treat each word with the rules of the language it came from for it to make sense.
Furthermore, your "{Americans|The English Language} sucks" argument is pretty much based on the very stupidity you claim to decry -- ignorance of pronunciation rules in different languages.
In short, educate yourself before you tell people you're smarter than them.

Yeah. 'Cuz being a geek involves no, say, effort or anything.
Being a geek is hard. Pretending to be one is somewhat easier.

Clearly we need more history-of-computing classes. Knitting, weaving, all that sort of stuff, are closely bound to modern computing. Behold:
The Jacquard Loom, precursor to computer programming itself (you may find the punch cards oddly familiar...)
"Knitting was one of the first applications of computer programming"
Ever notice how needlepoint is very pixely?
And finally, on more general principles:
Geek: A person with a devotion to something in a way that places him or her outside the mainstream. This could be due to the intensity, depth, or subject of their interest.
Meaning, you can be a geek about anything. Even knitting.
Loosen up those buttoned-down minds, folks.
Is that anything like a number #2 pencil? Or a 10% percent raise?
