I thought that at first, but I remember reading something on the starwars website to say there were only two. If that's true it's kind of idiotic, the Sith survived by limiting their numbers to TWO? In a galaxy of a few trillion? A group's pretty much not surviving anymore when there only two of them. That's like saying "we figured out how to keep our army from vanishing--we're going to whittle the number of soldiers down to two and have those two guys spend their lives in hiding."
That's actually the whole point. The ultimate goal of a Sith is to be the single biggest badass in the galaxy. It's not about sharing power and Dark Side knowledge with a legion of potential assassins. There are always two. No more, no less. A master and an apprentice. Eventually, the apprentice will feel he is ready to take down his master. (Darth Sidious killed his master, Darth Plagious.) But this is no easy task. An apprentice will often try to recruit a potential acolyte to help him accomplish this (Tyrannus tried pulling in Obi-wan. Vader tempted Luke). In turn, the Sith Master may have someone take down an overly ambitious (read: dangerous) apprentice (Sidious had Anakin kill Tyranus and tried to make Luke kill Vader).
This "rule of two" is what allowed Sidious to take over the Galaxy. The Sith were able to slip into the highest levels of the Republic, right under the Jedis' noses. They didn't need an army of Sith to do this, but an army of blindly loyal droids and clones.
I've found that it's not the browser that causes frequent crashes, but the plugins (or themes). My home install uses the default theme, and only about 1/2 dozen "must have" plugins. My browser seldom, if ever crashes. However, there was a certain theme I installed some time ago that apparently caused a crash at least twice a day. Once I deleted the theme, I was stable again.
I have yet to find someone who can understand what it does and how it does it. Its voodoo to everyone.
If you told me this in an interview, I'd have security escort you out of the building. I'd probably slip them a twenty to hear about how you "tripped" on the stairs on your way out, too.
While I agree with you, I have to point out that scientists themselves are often guilty of this. By definition, physics shouldn't have "String Theory", but the "String Hypothesis".
But you forgot the most important details about the "recognizing" part. If they seem puzzled by the idea of interacting with people - especially people who don't program or otherwise spend most of their day with computers - then you're on right track. If they interact easily and are comfortable conversing on a wide variety of topics look elsewhere.
I have to call 'bullshit' on that one. I've found the exact opposite to be true. I've worked with a couple of the antisocial "all I do is code" types before, and given the opportunity, I'd *never* work with them (or hire them)again. They are generally prima donnas who insist on reinventing the wheel and breaking best-practices because they keep rationalizing "*my* way is better" - even if "my" way is in direct contradiction with the business requirements.
The best programmers I've worked with are the ones with a diversity of interests, are very capable of interacting with others. Our field demands that we can translate back and forth between business-speak and code. If all I wanted was a code monkey, I'd pick one up from Bangalore.
Also, if ISP's start "sniffing" for copyrighted traffic, wouldn't that nullify their Common Carrier status? IANAL, but wouldn't this then make them liable for the content of *all* the traffic that flows over their network?

Apply the same to the 18th century definition of "regulated" as well.

And then there was AOL buying out Netscape, but keeping all of their trillion users on IE.

IANAB, but I believe the frequency of mutation is directly tied to the frequency of reproduction.
Oh, really?
Why on Earth would it?
Evolution has been accepted by the Catholic church for decades. It's the Evangelical Protestants who are raising a stink.

Blasphemer! Cheese be upon him!!
I'll book next year. This year I'm spending dead for tax reasons.
Well he's had at least one proposal that no-one else in Congress has had the guts to initiate. You've gotta give some credit there.
