Nah, it's three: One to hold the bulb, one to write "house.merry_go_round() = function() {...};", and one to scold the second developer for not putting that method in House.prototype in the first place.
An interesting feature of Sinfest is the development of the characters. In most comics the characters have some basic features from the beginning and are gradually shaped during the years. In Sinfest, on the other hand, some of the characters (e.g. Lil' Devil) undergo life-changing experiences.
Hehe, I first watched Forgotten Silver on TV and missed the start, so I didn't get any hints that it was a hoax, and like many other people I did not pay proper attention to the comical or unreliable parts. Years later I saw a certain DVD on the shelf in a store and thought: "Hey, great, a Peter Jackson movie... wait a minute, that story seems familiar..."
IE7 is an economical burden on the company because they have to spend developing time on making the site work in that particular browser. Can you say the same of, e.g., Firefox 3.6, which is the latest version of Firefox that Tiger users can upgrade to?
Which btw is somewhat interesting: Some scriptwriter for CSI wanted to come up with a technical sounding sentence which contains a reference to some programming language, but how many programming languages were part of his vocabulary? At least we can say that VB was.
The booth babe is paid to get your attention ("We work to promote products") and yes, she gets your attention by being dressed sexually. Even so, she is still a fellow human being and deserves respect as such – like the nun or cop with whose religion or ticket (respectively) you disagree. Your attention does not necessarily include your comments.
I do not know of any church that adopts new translations as they release; the vast majority of Christian churches adopt one translation and stick with it for years and years.
In the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Denmark this is partly true. The latest "authorized version" is adopted almost as soon as it is released, yet, the latest is from 1992 and replaced the 1931 version. Very few people stick the the old one, including the wording of The Lords Prayer (however, the new version merely updated a few archaic words).
As for the memorization, I believe you should make a distinction between memorizing and remembering due to frequent repetition. While memorization does occur in Christianity, I believe most of your list belongs to the latter. You may also may make a distinction between remembering and recognizing. For example, people who attend church will recognize the blessing, but few of them will be able to repeat it, and it's certainly not something that is expected of them.
That is not true. If you search for apache, you have to click "Show 493 technical items" afterwards, which is reasonable for a desktop system. What is not reasonable is the sorting; the apache2 package is obviously what the user is searching for, but it is way down in the list.
As I understand the article, the game has nothing to do with the alphabet. They assume your layout is an ordinary numpad-layout and let the user play an icon matching game: In a 3x4 icon grid, "tap to pick up paired icons". So the game will not work with a physical keyboard and will not detect non-standard layout.
I think it depends on the language. E.g. in Denmark we have a common joke that "written Norwegian [that is, Bokmål] is just Danish with spelling errors" because Norwegian words generally are spelled more in line with the phonetics of the language than it's the case in Danish. Furthermore, the vowels and consonants are flattened in the language of my generation which makes the connection to the "official spelling" of words less obvious. I don't see how the phonetic spelling creativity of text messaging is going to help then.

The article IS for the layman. The quote is not really representative for its general style.

Good ol' M-x cook-turkey
I was going to write a similar comment, but you already said it.

(The answer is of course: 4. A smartphone with a head-or-tails app.)
The logic of survival of the fittest can (logically) not in itself explain progression in evolution, only why regression doesn't happen.
I never thought I would see a FP modded 5 o_O
Okay, but at least the summary writer got a quite interesting idea then.

Because you can make a GUI using Visual Basic and see if you can track an IP address.

This one (from the Danish television show So Ein Ding) looks a bit complicated to build, but the flying is quite impressive: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPtXaSlEYgw
Yet, the only reason I clicked the headline was because I read it as: "[Software] Drivers Blamed "
Didn't we have this story a few months ago?
Yes, but it was a PacMan clone, this is Tetris, it's a totally diff ... no, you're right.
True. But, seriously, why rate this "5, Informative"?

Certainly, as any human invention, printing was also used for producing "adult" materials.
Including the steam engine? ... no, please don't answer that!
