What is the big deal about flash everyone is yammering about?
I don't even install it. If a site _needs_ flash then I go to their competitor. Why would you want some random vendors' marketing department to run unaudited code on your machine? The fact that they choose flash already identifies them as security illiterates and I don't want their slapped together coding experiments anywhere near me.
Doesn't take a Nostradamus to see he is a POLITICIAN. You can tell when he is lying, his mouth is moving. He has already proven that he fails to stand on principals (witness his votes on forgiving ATT of their complicity in the violation of our constitutional rights and the economic bailout bill with it's massive earmarks that should have been stripped before it passed, but instead the same gud ol' boy backscratching was allowed to prevail. It doesn't take 4 years to know that American and its people are going to get same the shitty end of the stick, the only change is who dipped the stick. Wont be all his his fault, but his inability to take a stand will result in the same ol' same ol' of a Chicago machine politician and his corporate masters. It may be a different butt, but the same hands are going to be shoved up it making Milli-Vanilli the same refrains to the pre-recorded soundtrack. (I voted, but it wasn't for either of the schmucks rammed down our throats).
Of course there is the small matter of, wait for it... licensing. The whole MSTS licensing is a royal PITA, separate and distinct from their other PITA licensing "innovations".
Doesn't that fish have a long pointy snout?
I wonder which bodily orifice they intend to ram that into, if they don't just create their own.
"Sony the Impaler", why does that have a familiar ring to it?
Better yet, have the video of the inspections complete with current and next 9 in line claim tickets live in the lounges instead of CNN so you can actually observe YOUR bags in the process.

How does keyboarding linden dollars help establish tolerance for erroneous data?
I have a washer/dryer over 25, stove/oven even older and a microwave that is probably over 30 that I replaced the membrane keypad just after the 1yr warranty expired. All in all, not too scruffy, I doubt t would get that kind of longevity from a replacement purchased today.
Crappy flash based home page, if they make such moronic decisions in marketing, I shudder to think how they butcher their development technical decisions.
Well not everyone. There are those of us that refuse to contribute to the coffers of badly behaved corporations.
Never used dieTunes and probably never will.
At our office there is an expensive reverse osmosis filter hooked up inline with the conventional carbon filter on the water dispenser of the refrigerator and there are still people bringing in bottled water.
Sorry, the observation of idiocy still stands.

appreciate ... humor ... I own every season of Family Guy that's available on DVD
Now THAT is humorous.
Other franchises like Star Trek and Star Wars have continuity departments and even they can't get it right 100% of the time.
Or like...3% of the time.
or as Spock would estimate "one to the tenth power" percent.

"Vista: people with small hands and lactose intolerance Edition"?
It's hard to digest dairy products with 5 centimeter fingers you insensitive clod.
You have obviously never worked in marketing.
NOBODY in marketing actually works.

I'd tell ya, but then you'd die of exhaustion.
photographing your intellectual property in the nude.
I'm a nude photographer, you insensitive clod.
I'm not sure why.
I'm guessing incompetence, greed and a total lack of ethics are major factors. They have no incentive for this not to happen.
we have George Dubya "The Decider"

Fixed that for ya.

Why would I need a client if the server is generating appropriate HTML?
