Well, I was wondering... why are all those free first-person shooters in the "arena" subgenre? How about a story-driven, single-player game, for a change?
Why can't they just buy a new 747? I'm not saying it's the best choice if they need a bigger plane, but it is a solution.
I'd ask the opposite: why do they need a 747 in the first place? It sure looks impressive (maybe that's the answer), but does the president really have to take five hundred people along anywhere he goes?
Piracy would be theft if copyright was a natural right. IT IS NOT. It is a temporary monopoly granted by the government, with a specific purpose:
To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.
Copyright extensions raped the spirit and purpose of the law. What's the incentive to create in copyrights that last 70 years after the author's death? Make it something sensible - say, a decade from publishing date - and we're talking.
nearly every Jew I've met is strongly in favor of the Jewish state. Maybe there is something to that.
"Consider how many years it took before American Jews gathered the nerve to criticize Israeli policies in the occupied territories. They were afraid of being labelled "Jewish anti-Semites," a wonderfully designed phrase - designed to make Jews who criticize their own people feel particularly guilty. And even now, a non-Jew who dares to criticize the policies of Israel or of any official Jewish body can expect to be attacked with the "anti-Semite" label. And it works. Who can forget the Six Million? Who can forget the Holocaust? (You can't, because we won't let you!) Criticize anything Jewish, and we'll link you to the Nazis. And you'll run for cover. If you write anti-religious essays, you probably already limit yourself to anti-Christian rhetoric and leave the Jews and their religion alone; that is to say, you avoid even the risk of being labelled an anti-Semite. Thus, the effectiveness of the label in stifling criticism is precisely why Jews are so overly quick to use it." -- David Dvorkin, "Why I Am Not a Jew"
Yeah, "Digital Rights Management" is not wrong. It manages your right to use your computer, just like a prison cell manages your right to go wherever you want to.
Renaming a file requires an imprecisely measured long button press on the mouse button (which if you miss ends up opening the file), or clicking the "get info" option in the pop-up menu. There's no simple "rename" option!
Select the file to be renamed. PRESS THE "ENTER" KEY. Type the new name. Press the enter key again, or click anywhere else.
It's the interface. Opera looks foreign and confusing in every operating system. It just doesn't feel like it belongs.
Also, I tried to download a torrent file, but instead, Opera started running it by itself; and the only workaround, I quickly found, was a hidden configuration panel that must be invoked with a special command in the address bar. Seriously, what the hell? That was so ridiculous, I uninstalled it right away.
Here's my guess... as you said, a minivan is great for carrying a whole family. Then, if you have a minivan, you are a family man. Wife and kids, solid and responsible. So it won't give a "rebel" or "macho" image. You realize, SUVs are subjectively better because they are objectively worse!
Funny how the Wii became the "casual gamer" system. When they revealed it, I thought it would be the most immersive machine - using that controller as a gun or sword, for example. I wonder, maybe The Conduit will at last deliver the "hardcore" to the Wii.
And one of the best known stories ever, in the bible, was Egypt falling to it's slaves.
"In Exodus we have an account of the manner in which Jehovah delivered the Jews from Egyptian bondage. We now know that the Jews were never enslaved by the Egyptians; that the entire story is a fiction. We know this, because there is not found in Hebrew a word of Egyptian origin, and there is not found in the language of the Egyptians a word of Hebrew origin. This being so, we know that the Hebrews and Egyptians could not have lived together for hundreds of years." -- Ingersoll.
The lad was being disruptive, but that wasn't mentioned. Neither was the obvious fact that when she saw a gaggle of giggling 8th grade boys gathered around a laptop, the last thing she expected to see on that screen was a spinning cube. She didn't know what was on those disks he was handing out. It could have been porn, viral.exe's...any number of things for all she knew. When she heard that an adult had given him some of the disks to hand out, her spidey-senses started tingling. Coupled with the fact that she truly was ignorant of honest-to-goodness Free Software, and you have some fairly impressive conclusion-jumping.
Because kids can not be genuinely excited about anything but the illegal or vulgar; they are never curious about the world, about technology, after all they don't give a damn about learning. If they make any noise, that can only mean trouble. Kids are stupid, after all. And a teacher's duty is to shove knowledge into their heads, whether they like it or not.
The guy was trying to defend the dumb teacher, but damned her far worse than before.

I'm just the opposite: I love how Mac OS separates window and application. It's just LOGICAL!
There is an application running; but not handling any document right now. Therefore, it does not have to show a window.
There is an application running; and it is handling a document right now. Therefore, it displays the document in a window.
Because the window is the document.
Fixed.
Indeed! A boss, act rationally according to the information presented, rather than act according to ranks in the ape troop hierarchy? INCONCEIVABLE!
Viola is not voila.
You must mean Sosumi.
It has taken off.

I had a Microsoft keyboard. Trust me, I will not be getting another one.

If I were a teacher, I would accept no homework or assignment that is not hand-written.

Don't forget AC/DC and Midnight Oil.
Half a litre? Five hundred ml?
No, he is country. Like, you know, a cowboy.

The DualShock was never much good in the first place.

These are not the jokes you are looking for.
