"Having everyone code for firefox isn't really that much better to having everyone code to IE"
It's actually much better because firefox is available to all your customers no matter what operating system they use. Granted firefox on mac is not all that great but at least it's available.
This guy was just another hacker. If you want homeland security to go after him you need to paint him as a liberal who protests the war or Bush. If he was an arab you would not have to do that but he is a white guy so that's your best bet.
How did this guy get a +5? I have news for you shillboy. Nobody has more respect for developers then the open source community. Mainly that's because it is being run by the developers themselves.
In most corporate development environments you are limited just one language no matter what your problem is. Most often the choice of language is made by an accountant/CIO who has never written a line of code in his life.
How is that any better?

"Dan Rather on the other hand is presenting himself, being represented by CBS and has (largely) been accepted as an objective, dispassionate reporter."
And fox news represents itself as being fair and balanced.
What CBS did was to publish a story. The story was bought to them by another person. They did some due diligence but obviously not enough. Why is this Dan Rathers fault?
Finally all the facts in the memo are true. The memo may be fake but the facts it alleges have been backed up by both the secratary who would have written the memo and the commaning officer who would have dictated it. Probably the original memo is missing so it was recreated. The memo itself is fake but Bush really did go AWOL and he really was a fuckup.

He didn't do the fabrication.
I know this fact will find it very hard to penetrate your republitard brain but...
None of the principles denied that the memo was an accurate reflection of the facts. Both the secratary and the Bush's commander said that the contents of the memo were accurate. Bush really was a fuckup and he really did go AWOL.
"Not to start a war here, but ASP.Net is a pretty damned nice environment to work under."
Compared to what? Compared to coding php from scratch maybe, compared to using xoops probably not, compared to plone definatley not, compared to ROR or Django it's ot even in the same league. Compared to webobjects it's a bicycle with training wheels racing with a ferrari.
ASP.NET is just another web framework and it shows it's age. While the OSS community has been working and innovating ASP.NET has just aged and not very gracefully at that.
Personally I think the whole component based web design paradigm is stupid but that's just me.

Why? How come people making fun of this corporation makes you so upset? Do you feel this way about all corporations or only Ms?
I am honestly interested in knowing why anybody would waste three nanoseconds coming to the defense of any corporation when other people state their dislike. It seems like a bizaare thing. I know I would never do such a thing. If somebody told me nissan cars suck I don't think I would waste time trying to change their minds. If somebody said "I bought rockport shoes but they were not comfortable and they sucked" I wouldn't call them zealots.
How come you felt the need to post such a long post defending poor little defenseless Ms agains the all mighty powerful hordes of/.? Are you worried the corporations feelings will get hurt? I can assure you that it has no feelings, it's not a human being, it has no soul or feelings.
"WIW, I've found VS2005 to be much better than any development studio I've tried for linux."
I havent used 2005 yet but 2003 was a piece of shit compared to eclipse, it was a piece of shit compared to Jedit for that matter. My guess is that 2005 probably closes the gap a bit. Too bad eclipse development isn't stopping though, it will leave it in the dust again soon enough.

ZDNET in Australia did a study in which they found that a typical unix sysadmin administered significaly more machines then a typical windows admin. If I can remember correctly it was something like a third more servers per admin. But I get your point. One windows server easier to admin for a monkey then unix server is.

Windows back up is a joke. Unless you are prepared to spend some serious money you can't have real practical bare metal recovery. Your choices are to shut down the machine once in a while to image it or spend tens of thousands of dollars for veritas. Everything else is lame and only half works.

"What distinguishes FOX News is that it reports both the Left and Right sides of issues."
Yes for example it examines whether liberals hate america or whether they are merely terrorists.
I have also heard heated debate on fox news as to whether Hillary Clinton was "pure evil" or merely "very evil".
Finally I don't think anybody could argue that fox news gives both sides of the important debates on science such as "theory" of evolution vs creationism, the contrversy over global warming and such. Both sides of those issues are to be treated with the same amount of respect.
Don't worry soon you will be forced to watch ads. They still won't be able to actually tie you down and tape your eyelids or anything (yet) but you won't be able to skip them soon enough.
Also the ads will be in the content itself with product placement and the characters raving about a product. Remember the junior mint episode of seinfeld? Just like that.
While I agree about the house bit I have never bought a car on credit. There is no rule that says you have to drive the latest BMW 740IL.

Sure the hot chicks don't throw themselves at you but then again I am married so that wouldn't really be good anyway.
It's one to make the extension the most important part of a file and another to hide them by default on the GUI.

"1972: Nixon defeated H. Humphrey. Easily one of the least charismatic presidents ever"
That was before the era of televised debates. He then lost to kennedy who was younger, better looking and more charismatic because nixon looked aweful on TV.
"1980: Reagan defeats Carter at the age of 69."
Reagan was an actor, he was much better looking and certainly more charismatic. He also looked younger because he had dyed his hair and carters hair was greying.
"As someone who has followed this issue very closely, and has voted both Dem, GOP and other, yes, yes I do."
Bullshit. There is no such thing as a pro lifer who votes democratic.
"Civil debate is key. The major media outlets have been no help at all in these past few years."
Civil debate will always lose your the election. Look at the swift boat veterans, look at rush limbaugh, bill o'relly, sean hannity, ann coulter, david horowitz and fox news. Civil and intelligent discourse will lose you the election. You need to be like the evil fucks who run fox news and the evil fucks like the people I mentioned. You can't give an inch or you will lose. Democrats are too civil, they want to discuss facts, they want a thoughful dialog and the republican always beat them to a pulp because they are evil fucks who recognize no boundries and go for the jugular.
"That's why people don't require an absolute proof for things like intent. You look at circumstances and make a judgment call. "
Right. There is an occupation going on. CItizens of one country want to repell the occupiers and live in freedom. The occupying force is fighting a insurrection. The occupying force kills tens of thousands of innocent people. The occupying force tortures people. The occupying foce arrests people without charges or trials (thousands of them). The occupying force bombs villages, wedding parties, buildings known to house human beings. The occupying force destroys 75% of fallujiah (twice). The occupying force uses phosphorus bombs. The occupying force confiscates cell phones of doctors so they can't report what they see. The occupying force coerces the morgue to file incorrect cause of death.
So I would say that US intends to kill civillians and therefore is committing terrorism against the iraqis. It's also practicing terrorism agains the syrians, iranians, and the north koreans by threatening to do to them what it's doing to Iraq.
