I think in both cases you're transposing the elements of a character string. I don't think it's worthy of changing what you call it based on whether the characters involved were alphanumeric.
That's only half-correct. Apple purchased Emagic (makers of Logic, a professional audio editing program) in 2002 and GarageBand was shipped as an Apple product in 2005. So they did purchase the personnel and maybe even some of the code used in GarageBand, but the product itself was first developed and sold by Apple.
That's not actually true. Any film can be recut and resubmitted after rating, so films aren't "buried" so much as altered (to avoid an NC-17 or to bump it up from a G). Also, though no hard and fast rules are published, it isn't difficult to predict a film's rating based upon its content by extrapolating from the ratings of other films. For instance, frontal nudity usually merits an R (Titanic is a counterexample, it got a PG-13), using the word "fuck" once, in an exclamatory way, merits a PG-13 whereas anything more merits an R, and so forth.
So the Euro lost value as well? As did every other currency you could make the same comparison to? I suppose this also means that all US prices doubled?
I'll believe it when I see it. They may have hit the mark with 09 but the FCC has proven themselves too unreliable in the past about setting this deadline and keeping it.
Pistols? I can't think of a single situation where I wouldn't rather have a bigger, more accurate gun. The only thing they're good for is carrying concealed, and I don't believe in carrying concealed. If you're armed, it should be right out there in the open, none of this sneaky ass concealed crap
I actually know someone who openly carries a handgun. They're quite portable.
What if 51% of the people vote for the totalitarian? I'm sure many totalitarian dictators, at the time they originally became dictators, would have been elected dictator had they run. Apparently some of them *do* run.
Maybe, statistically, all other things being equal, the average guy might be marginally better at math than the average woman, and the average woman better at visual and verbal skills than the average guy: but that margin is slim enough that it should only show up as a slight difference in the field, not as a 2:1 or worse ratio.
I think your main problem is acting as if war and web browsers are both the same kind of important, even if they're important in different degrees. Clearly, that's bonkers. People care more about their choice of music and peanut butter than about the Iraq war because they're apathetic about social and political issues, not because they're apathetic about absolutely everything in the world. Apathy about web browsers is more like not caring about brands of peanut butter than it is like not caring about Iraq.
I agree with you. Trying to connect this to apathy about the war in Iraq and the threats to our civil liberties, however, implies that Firefox is a social or ideological cause instead of a product.
Firefox is a web browser. Most people, Americans or not, have more important things to worry about in their lives, even if they want to become social activists. To most people, choosing a web browser for ideological reasons is like choosing a brand of peanut butter for ideological reasons--it's possible but no one really cares enough to do it. I guess it turns out more people care about web browsers than peanut butter.
How on earth did you jump to that suspicion? Come on, what stereotypical opinions do you attribute to me from saying DVI has been around since about the turn of the century?
USB has been the "hot new technology to have" for a while now, and the average user wants it. As long as USB support isn't 99.9999% perfect, it's gonna be a huge problem.
Man. I just had to check the date to make sure it wasn't 1998. USB moved beyond "hot new technology to have" to "standard peripheral interface" by around 2000-2001. It's 2007 now, right?
If being gay were on some level not bad in North American culture, "gay" would no longer hold force as pejorative.
And if being a Gypsy was on some level not bad in North American culture, we would no longer complain oof being "gypped" when we got ripped off. Hey, wait a minute!
You joke, but the reason a lot of kid's shows have diverse casts of muppets and monsters of all shapes, colors, and sizes is to encourage kids to adopt non-prejudicial worldviews from the start. If you take the Warcraft idea that some people are people and other people are inhuman monsters (based on superficial appearance) and internalize it too young, you might be more prone to see real life that way too.
Well, some people just make me nervous... like people who wear black pants and leather jackets, walk into the plane, sit down, and have this tense forehead and just look downright antisocial. AFAIK it's just etiquette to at least say a simple "hi" or nod politely before you take your seat next to someone. Most people do. It makes people comfortable. Others just stare at you, stare at random parts of the aircraft, and have the tense wrinkles on their forehead. They just look sketchy.
Yeah, those darn kids with their black pants and leather jackets, not saying hi to strangers on the plane and staring at random parts of the aircraft. It's even worse when they wear dark glasses on the plane and listen to music on their "I-Pod". You know, I actually sat on a plane next to nice people who said hi and smiled at me and let me past them to go use the bathroom. Bastards stole my phone.
All men were created. Since we are Christians that means that all men were created by God. Since we acknowledge creation as told in the Bible we also acknowledge pretty much everything that comes eith it (creation, not the Bible).
Jefferson was a Deist, not a Christian.
They declare certain principles to be obviously and universally true, which is incompatible with letting other people have their opinions.
You know, accepting SOME undeniable principles is pretty much necessary for society to work. The principle "you don't get to kill people at random" is incompatible with letting people kill each other at random, but if you don't hold it universally and enforce it, you're pretty screwed.

And the number of inaccurate articles on the Brittanica or Encarta DVD is...?

"Anachronism" doesn't mean "inaccurate". It means "belonging to a different period of time"--in this case, the time before PS3 was released.
You just tell yourself that. The deadline's been pushed back over and over again for years.
Fuck that. Cho wrote a couple plays that expressed his anger just as clearly as the shooting did. We must ban drama.

Yeah, I'm not that fanatical about Kelsey Grammer either. Or did you mean grammar?

Men are hunters. Women are gatherers. Makes sense, right?

That's because there's nothing more gay than complaining about petty shit like that when there's real problems in the world.
