then maybe they would work in firefox, as it is most of the corp web apps i sue HAVE to be run in IE or they barf:-/ (like oracle) I would see that as the major drawback.
or even more better, our "elected" representatives have been replaced by pod people from alpha centauri and all the additional attention focused on the candidates is a test to see if we can detect the dopplegangers.
"Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity"
that statement is a cop out, if it was "don't always attribute" then maybe i could feel better about it... but nothing is ever that black and white.
I also feel that saying 0 votes instead of writing 30/32 shows more than stupidity but actual malice.. with some votes (1 in this case) Ron would get at least 1 delegate(?)
With 0 that delegate would go to someone else.
How many candidates got 0 votes? oh yah, none of them... kinda of hard to justify this as incompetence as everyone got _some_ votes.. wouldn't marking a 0 for one candidate where everyone else got votes raise an immediate red flag to the person writing it down? Unless the vote tabulators recently had head trauma?
"If I owned a business and I really didn't like democrats, why should I be forced to employ them indifferently with republicans? I should be allowed to employ whoever I want for my own business, that's right within free-association if you ask me."
I agree 100%, but would add something along the lines of fags, blacks, muslims, women, and those ineffectual cripples.
I often think about the requests for proof, like divine intervention.. I mean if god came down today and parted the ocean, wouldn't this just be a "legend/myth" in 2000 years time?
"It's probably in large part that there just won't be any return on investment."
That's just a cop out, with the multitude of FPS games over the years, standard keyboard and mouse controls should be a simple feature to implement, considering that most FPS games that start as consoles are ported to PCs, there really is no excuse.
"I'm also not sure how a keyboard/mouse setup in Halo would be welcomed by the competitive online community. Maybe well, maybe not well at all. If PC FPS fans are correct in considering the mouse/keyboard superior, it will certainly lead to a strong reaction and not necessarily a good one. I guess it just makes more sense for Microsoft and others to stick to what's been working."
This is also a cop out, that's like saying top PC competitors should all have to use ball mice because laser mice are too precise?
"After all, by far most console gamers are happy enough with their controllers (even if they're rubbish, like with the PS3, haha)."
I don't see how you could say this either since they don't have a choice.. it's a controller or.. nothing. and the point seems to contradict your earlier point as you said if there was a KB/Mouse everyone would prefer that over a controller.
Anywho not trying to bash you're reasoning, but it really doesn't hold up...
"it should be possible to make simulation crash itself! "
I think they refer this to death.. most people struggle with the problem of why were are here and what our purpose is, trouble with that is once you finally figure it out the resulting answer is so astonishing you die (from heart attack, brain hemmorage, drive off the road, never wake up, etc).
that's a good process, if someone doesn't conform to what you believe then they are crazy, throw them in a mental institution, this way anyone who is in a mental institution can be easily dismissed.
"comfy controller then I think the PC doesn't quite deliver while something like Gears or Halo 3 does."
I hate controllers for FPS games (actually one of my thumbs doesn't bend so it's near impossiblt to use dual stick controls for me:(), I just got an xbox360 for christmas and haven't even opened the box yet because of this (waiting to get band hero), i would love to frag people in halo or whatever, so why the hell don't they support a keyboard/mouse setup for the xbox?
The PS3 actually has a keyboard you can buy, but it's for websurfing, not game playing.. WTFH is the disconnect here? I just don't get it...
Until this happens i will still be mainly a PC gamer.
"the risk of addiction is too high for cocaine, heroin, and meth. therefore, in the name of freedom (of the nonaddicts), it is illegal to zombify yourself and become a slave of a chemical"
Hmm, funny because the use of all three are common practice in medical care.. what you seem to have a problem with is the burden an "addict" is to a society that bans the use of drugs. correct?
I was told by a police officer before that the difference between saying i will beat you up with my hands at my sides and raising my hands while saying it is assault, it all has to do with the perceived danger at the time?
Well it looks like the blocking of older formats is done by a registry check office does on start, the admin values would be something you could set as a group policy... pretty standard stuff.
But blocking compatibility via the registry? nothing to worry about then i suppose...
There HAS to be a better way of dealing with this than instant registering of possibly wanted domains. We know there is a problem with domain squatting for 5-7 years now, we have tried somethings to alleviate the problem (like the ability to sue to get a squatter to release brand names) but there should be some solution we can come up with that would eradicate the problem once and for all.
sheesh, come on people, we are the techies who make this stuff work, can't we find a more elegant solution than trying to out squat the squatters?
actually it's not a dupe, i went to submit this article but then checked two days later this was posted by someone else. I think i got article tasted:(

unless i get a description of the author's prowess in martial arts and ability to kick my ass in a general time frame (10 seconds? 2 minutes?).
"You would say I was wrong to do this because an employer shouldn't be allowed to choose his employees based on race?"
Nope, i would say you wanted a white actor to portray a white historical figure.
But that wasn't your point in the first comment either.

Why restrict it to political leanings?
well to be fair i think he was sick during the week the taught election counting procedures: standards and practices in today's electoral process.
"ruby is the geh"
You forgot to list your martial art skills and the many ways you would hurt him, in a ring of your renting.
"Same way pushing buttons equates to playing guitar, methinks?"
No! Guitar hero very realistically equates to real quitar playing!!! YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH DAMMIT!!! *sobs*
"Security by arrogance. That's a new one."
Obviously you haven't heard of Apple computers?
I often think about the requests for proof, like divine intervention.. I mean if god came down today and parted the ocean, wouldn't this just be a "legend/myth" in 2000 years time?
Because they often are dismissed as "there is no proof that these things happened"?

"I concur, we really IS knowledgible in this sort of stuff."
Your sarcasm are not appreciated. and you spelled knowledgeable wrong.
"like suggesting people drive tanks to cut down on highway casualties."
I like the cut of your jib sailor.. this would solve a lot of accidents wouldn't it tho?
