The geek Jim
goes to the election booth. Jim touches the opening screen. Jim watches while the screen BSoDs. Computer reboots. Jim is presented with the XP interface. Jim, finds the voting system back end. Jim "adjusts" the result:
Bush 15%
Kerry 15%
Nader 70%
Jim set's all Bush and Kerry votes to go to Nader.
Jim runs the voting system front end. Sets it to full screen.
Jim leaves.
Nader wins
Russia sent the first man into space.* Americans didn't.
Russians still send humans into space. Americans don't.
And you really believe that NASA sent people to the moon? Then you might as well believe in Alien Abductions, Santa Clause and the Tooth Fairy Russians are the true Space pioneers. They boldly went where no American has gone before;) Give them a chance. NASA should swallow the bitter pill.
Russians, having had more budgetry constraints that the Americans, always had to do things more efficiently than the Americans. And, believe it or not, they have a better safety record.
Out of the 14 people who have been killed inflight in Spacecraft, all 14 died in Shuttle accidents.
The shuttle program is expensive. And, with Mars missions also on the horizon, it is high time we considered a replacement for both the Shuttle and the Soyuz. Otherwise, space may just become the final frontier, in more than one way.
Instead of including paid listings within search results, which critics say results in misleading search results, MSN said it will display paid listings separately at the top and to the right of search results generated by its search engine.
If this is true, though I don't trust Microsoft, I would try this instead of google, because I am sick of getting paid results mixed with relevant ones on Google.
1:15million, this brings the distance between the Sun (positioned in Cheshire at the Jodrell Bank Telescope site) and the Earth to 15km
The (average)distance from Sun to Earth is 149 million km.
15 * 15million km = 225 million km != the distance from Sun to earth
I would've expected an outcry over the amount of money these visually impaired people have to pay for a screen reader. Instead, they mod me down as a Troll!
Quite a few of the./ers are developers. And if they don't give a fine f*** about accessibility, then there's not much hope for disabled people.
However, most blind people can get assistance from organizations and the government for buying this sort of thing.
And the money ends up in the coffers of MS...
So I had to get my dose of profanity from the TV. And soon that will be gone to. Reminds me of the Southpark episode, where they say "shit" on television.
If government can block profanity, what will they block next? Are they going to censor all instances where lords name is used in vain?
Jesus man! What's wrong with a little profanity, as long as it is not gratuitous?And fucking and shitting aren't unnatural things you know? A lot of people in the world do it.
Music Labels are there to CREATE musicians, not to find true talent. Hopefully, electronic music delivery, getting rid of the middlemen, should enable good artists to come out.
In case you've forgotten, the record Labels are evil, because:
From the article:
The Super Bowl looked tremendous in HD, movies are amazing, and in May, when ESPN begins broadcasting SportsCenter in HD, the contest will be over
In a statement released to the journalists, the Martian defence secretary Zcumtlweld said that Mars is considering invading the United States to seek and destroy weapons of mass destruction.
"You have polluted your air, poisoned your seas, and turned your landmass into a nuclear waste dump." the statement read. "Leave us in peace, although, I am aware that you don't even know the meaning of the word peace. And stop calling us little green men."

Who went there on Russian spacecraft. I am not talking about who is in space. I am talking about who sends them there. Now who's the troll?

Shows how much /. moderators care about blind people, or any people for that matters. Long live herd mentality.
I am glad Apple is making a step in the right direction.
