Because I am stick of hearing the "how can something come from nothing" argument from creationists. Whether or not something could come from nothing has nothing to do if there is a god or not and proving it can does not prove there is a god. Any rational person can see this, but I would never accuse a creationist of being rational.
I don't give two squirts about what Card does in his personal time nor what he does with money he earns from writing books or making movies. I give him money when I'm entertained by his books...the transaction is completed at that time and I no longer want to have a say in how he spends said money. We'd have a pretty exhausting existence if everyone who paid money to someone for a service or product wanted to dictate how it was spent.
I loved the book and I will most likely love the movie.

They don't try because they say the userbase is too small. But it just hit 300million users. It's also one of the most popular mobile browsers out there...it was tops in May of 2011 iirc.
Sidenote: The organizer of pwn2own, Aaron Portnoy, supposedly uses the Opera Browser. Go figure.
They're switching to a modified version of webkit for rendering and using the V8 javascript engine. A browser is much more than just a tool for rendering and a javascript engine and this is the only thing they're sucking in from Chrome.
Just the same, the current version uses Presto...and that's the one that pwn2own could check out right now...and they haven't every tried Opera in the history of pwn2own. It'd be great if they gave it a parting shot.
Once again, pwn2own ignores the Opera web browser. This makes me sad...I recently switched exclusively to Opera after toying around with it for almost 10 years now. I've been completely happy since. I will say this, Opera takes security more seriously than any other browser out there...just an example is when the Certificate Authority hack came into play in 2011...All other browsers were twisting their knickers but Opera just yawned and said:
Browsers that do not have protection against blocked revocation lists will need to rapidly issue an update to fix any new certificate abuse. In Opera, users are protected automatically when the certificate is revoked. If the CA has a general problem, or a CA is no longer being used, we can remove it from our list of trusted CAs behind the scenes, and the user will also be secure, without needing to change anything in her browser.
This was the default setting in opera.
In my opinion, Opera has my interests at the forefront when it comes to security. Whether or not that would translate to being more resistant to hacking attempts at pwn2own, I have no idea...but I really wish they'd give it a go one of these years just to see.
The reason is very simple...you're spending close to 500 bucks when you get a plan, pre pay for a month, buy a touchstone, a case, add in the insurance, etc.
So, it makes complete sense.
I gladly provided mine to pick up my Pre.

Why? Because it's encrypted and even spideroak can't decrypt your data.
That makes all my stuff safe from prying eyes. No one else can do that.
Spideroak is the only company I know of that DOESN'T HOLD THE KEYS to your encrypted data. Even if they wanted to 'see' your data, they couldn't.

Agreed.
And the summary says BCE which is impossible...Mark or the author(s) of Mark weren't around during the 4th century BCE. It should be 4th Century CE (or AD)...or even plain old fourth century.
So we drop OLPC on it's head. Abandon it completely and see how far it gets without a community behind it. Let Microsoft have what it bought and paid for.
Actually, Linux is ready now. This guy just didn't look for himself. The distros that he looked at all have companies backing them and are the most popular because of this fact. Instead of doing that, he should have invested some time to checking out some others more suited to new users. The distros that come to mind are SimplyMEPIS, PCLinuxOS, and Kanotix. All his Ipod and multimedia problems would have been solved if he'd have chosen these.
I keep telling people that Mandriva, Fedora, Ubuntu, SuSe, and Linspire...while pretty nicely rounded distros...are not a drop in solution for windows. The closest thing Linux has to that are the three distros mentioned in the paragraph above.

Just because it doesn't work for you in your situation doesn't mean it doesn't work for Ken where he is. That's an ignorant view of things.

Sounds like you need some cheese....
I guess doctors that PRESCRIBE prenatal vitamins are just doing it because it does nothing medically for anyone.

Yes I read the book, I thought it was garbage pulp fantasy for those of limited breadth and imagination.
yeah, I guess that's why it won the 1985 Nebula award...it totally lacked so much.

The EU strictly regulates any and all GMO's and many are outright banned. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulation_of_genetically_modified_organisms_in_the_European_Union
it looks like they got it right. And it's one of the main reasons why I don't want to live in the US.

So...they're hoping to make a 'Quantum Leap' http://instantrimshot.com/
They become a full nuclear power. Do we sit down and talk, then play nice with them?
I don't think any country will allow it to get that far unfortunately :/

Ooma is a voip solution that uses your existing phone line inside the house for each "scout".

Well...Evolution be damned. Or maybe, only when it fits perfectly for evolutionists to quote. In this instance, it looks like creationists win.
you know another thing that's been linking terrorists together for the past 50+ years right? *cue hitchcock-like music* THE TELEPHONE!!!!! *end music*

Too bad they don't get the deserved attention.
I started collecting links on this subject a few hours before this hit slashdot... http://linux-blog.org/index.php?/archives/134-The- Dirt-on-Suspicious-Digging-at-Digg.com.html
Just FYI for everyone...if you have another link, comment it and I'll update it.
