I wonder if Google obey American Laws... Are they yielding to political pressure?
Following your own logic, it's a two-steps until you agree with child pornography on Youtube. Sorry dude, Japan has very good reason to make those laws, and of course they should enforce it on their country.
You should at least have posted that anonymously... Now I cannot read a post of yours without thinking that you came upon this page and think "mmh, this will go well in my bookmarks". Low ID or not!
Despite what the ranting morons around here think, Microsoft is not going away, IIS is not an insecure mess and it's actually a really good platform for web applications. YMBNH.
What's wrong with Casino Royale? It was pure genius, from someone who watched the Bond series going down lately. Air Force One is another matter, but hey, could've been worse, could have been Air Force Two instead of Casino.
Maybe this part of the galaxy isn't that great of a place to be. I know of a place near M-627. Nice place, really. The grocery is right around the next solar system and there is a Supernova movie starting in 3,000 years, ideal for the kids. For those who want more action, I suggest P35, right accross the Black Hole. Life there is too fast for me though.
Good kings are slaves, and their people are free. As long as I'm going to see a government with more freedom than me in their pockets, I'm not going to believe what they say, as they are themselves proof that they don't protect the citizens, but merely the interests of a minority (which they include themselves in).
Is -1, interesting really interesting or just too long and somewhat non-opinional but if you've got time to lose read it? Because that's long and I don't know if I should or should not read your opinion based on the moderation. -1, interesting should not exist...
Standards is somewhat an antipod of the freedom to choose. We do not remove your freedom, but we do not provide you any serious compliant alternatives, and thus you don't have a real choice. See modern democracy as well. Reminds me of a certain Ford car, which you could choose the color.
Conversation going nowhere... check!
Misunderstanding of each other points and subtile but flawed rebutals... check!
Dialogues based on some premises that a PC is not a portable device... check!
Man this is slashdot at its best! I would mod you both up, but I'll just reply.
You forgot the magnificient brown colored zune, which, I may say, I was almost happy to see was changed to a pink one... nah just kidding, I'm happy with m'iPod.
Oh sorry. Is your mother a whore? Just asking. Would people who pay to have sex with her would disagree with this?
But I'm sure your users input dates using 64-bit timestamps, so there must be no problem. And no doubt your output routines are Y10K tested and ready.
Don't be such a prick; UIs can be changed way before the problem comes. Maybe you should learn to separate interface, logic and data (search MVC in wikipedia, instruct yourself), then you'd see why Y2K would have been a 1000 time less problematic without the data storing dates as 2 numbers and logic treating it as such.
Bottom line, UI change: 2 lines, 3 mouse clicks, Logic or Data change: thousands of lines, scripts and testing, and you suck? (see the question mark)
Oops, sorry, is that 64-bit timestamp going to last X**Y million years? Is it costing me a single line of code? If you answered yes and no, respectively, you may reconsider your statement.
I do not PLAN my software to live that long, but supporting it without even changing anything (when coding right), that's what libraries are for.

Hope we don't "slashdottitted" the site.

I certainly fail to see what Patrick Moore has to do with this issue... Nice Markov though.

slash what, you say?
As long as he doesn't eat quiche, he's man enough.
How is that different from what he said?

We need bigger values of 17 and/or 21 for that. Otherwise, it's not over till it's not over.
Except most yankees do it to watch foossball.

I think I saw Mr. Shroedinger put it in a box...

Well that would fit the definition of habeas corpus, though, wouldn't it. Oh sorry I'll get back to topic before it turns out politics.

I didn't make a statement; I asked a question.
