How do you think colour blind people deal with traffic lights?
Traffic signals encode their messages by color and position -- even if you can't tell the colors apart, you can see whether it's the top or bottom light.
by late 2007/early 2008, McCain voted against the same thing he had previously championed.
By which you of course mean he voted against a large intelligence appropriation bill, which had a provision against torture buried in its voluminous text.
This is exactly why Congresscritters rarely get elected President -- they vote on so many bills crammed with bloatware that you can cherry-pick their record -- "ZOMFG he voted to serve dog vindaloo in public schools" (which happened to be an amendment to the Protect Our Children From Devious Pederasts bill), or "ZOMFG, he voted against the Protect Our Children from Devious Pederasts bill" (which happened to contain an amendment to serve dog vindaloo in public schools).
Over in the discussion about Time Warner doing away with their Usenet service, someone told me, "Why would you pay to access non-binary newsgroups. Just use Google Groups." Seriously people, Google's online services may be convenient, but they aren't a replacement for a local application.
Not to put to fine a point on it, but Google Groups sucks. The UI has steadily deteriorated, making it harder and harder to find messages in the archive, it messes up the formatting of quoted messages, and it encourages n00bs to wander into Usenet groups thinking they're message boards provided by Google.
Any long term Usenet poster will gladly pay for a decent news server, even if they don't muck about with binaries.
I recommend all newsgroup denizens with TW, Sprint, and Verizon sign up for news.individual.net. It's 10 euros per year (about $15) and there are no binary groups, but they do a better job of spam and sporge filtering than any ISP I've seen.
Who would've thought the day would come when you'd have to use a German news server to ensure freedom of speech.
The problem here is that the ISPs are going after Usenet, which is a type of decentralized message board. The downside of decentralization is that there's no one with standing to sue -- so what if you can't access rec.arts.sf.written through the ISP? It's just a service they discontinued.
I like bigger autos. I'm 6'3" with a family history of back problems.
I'm 6'4 and I have no problem fitting comfortably in a modern sedan with an adjustable steering wheel.
I like being able to see OVER traffic.
And the problem with SUVs is that you get to see over traffic, but in doing so you block the view of people lower down. If I'm driving behind a regular car I can see straight through the cabin watch for problems two cars ahead of me. If I'm behind an SUV I can only see an exhaust pipe and inane bumper stickers.
It's not clear. "Requires" could mean that if you want to use it as a phone, you need an AT&T plan like the previous models, or it could mean that if you want to buy the phone you have to get a plan.
That's if you want the iPhone as a phone. But the iPhone without a contract is the same as a Touch, but a hundred bucks less. Unless Apple is imposing a restriction that you can't buy the new iPhone without signing up for a contract.
Deciding to solely exploit the Star Wars franchise instead of the incredible IP they had built up over the last decade was probably the worst decision they could have made.
Yeah, where's "Howard the Duck Solves the Radioland Murders" and "Willow XXVII: The Pooping Pigeons of Pelyndrin"?
Because most people just want to visit a site and view the cool scripted content without having to figure out which of the twenty scripts on the page will make the game work or the video play.
Even if you could explain to an average user what NoScript does, they'd probably just enable scripts for every page they visit without caring what the script does.
Don't forget that certain Adobe programs, including Photoshop and Premiere, place DRM in the master boot record, which makes it impossible to run TrueCrypt boot-time encryption and have the Adobe programs work.
NoScript and FlashBlock aren't adblockers. Running them is no different from browsing the web with JavaScript disabled and Flash not installed, except you can selectively enable them. What's the admin going to do, declare that blind users browsing in Lynx aren't allowed to use his site?
If you want to look something up on IMDB, it can be fun to see if you can use the links on the front page to reach the article you want within seven degrees. I normally count actors but not movies as a degree, but you could try per-click.
Model number doesn't really matter -- go into the router configuration, assign his computer a permanent IP on the LAN, then block the common P2P ports for his IP. Then password lock the router and stuff some gum in the reset button.
Who cares if the information in a chain letter is accurate or not? What makes them egregious isn't the fact that people are forwarding you inaccurate information -- it's that they're filling your mailbox with crap you don't care about. The fact that it's a chain letter makes the sender an idiot. If you want to compare the conservative agenda to the Bible, get a blog so people can choose whether to read it or not -- don't spam your friends.
Because we all know, liberals never spam their friends with chain letters with lists of stupid things Bush has said, or comparing the conservative agenda to things Jesus said in the Bible, or asking you to sign petitions to impeach Bush.

Is it any worse that Obama supporters digging every vacuous pro-Obama story so that the front page of Digg looks like a paid advertisement by the DNC?

Um, because not everyone wants to use webmail?
How about driving a vehicle that doesn't have an insanely high center of gravity and thus needs extra weight to stay upright?

Come on, if you want a Star Wars fighter sim, it's Tie Fighter all the way -- blow the crap outta whiney rebel scum!

If Hinduism is true, wouldn't the guy who profaned a saint be evil, and thus Google doing good by helping the Indians punish him?
