Objective - Adj - A viewpoint which is closer to your own
Granted, I totally agree that a nanny state is a Very Bad Thing (tm), but it seems disingenuous to say that because the report doesn't glorify a nanny state, it is therefore more objective.
On the other hand, it also provides you a convenient defense. "I swear I don't even know what an MP3 is, Mr. RIAA lawyer! It must have been one of those hackers using my unsecured wifi!"
I almost wonder if piracy might actually be part of Adobe's strategy... I mean, if you're going to pirate software, it doesn't matter how much it costs. So instead of pirating the more affordable Paint Shop Pro, you might as well go for the gold standard of Photoshop.
Then, since you're learning and used to photoshop, if at some point in the future you're in a position to make a decision (or help make a decision) about purchasing a graphics suite, you'll naturally want to go with what you already know.
On the other hand, Photoshop's such an industry standard it probably doesn't matter...
Our media is dying because people don't trust it. Care to back that up?
I don't trust mainstream media. You obviously don't either. My 60-year-old father, though, certainly does. And, as a 23-year-old college student in the honors program (i.e. I'm surrounded by the supposed cream of the crop of my peers), the vast majority of them don't seem to have any real issues with the mainstream media. At best, some of them prefer CNN and dislike Faux News.
What's that mean? Nothing, really, it's totally anecdotal. But so is your argument.
Newspapers are failing because few people want to read them (I don't think I've ever seen anyone my own age buy a paper). I don't know what the situation is with TV news, financially, but the vast majority of it that I've seen is now more of an entertainment program than a news program so its moot.
Yeah, I agree that they have the capability. Like I said, I didn't think you were trying to badmouth 'em. I just have a reflexive need to defend pitbulls whenever anyone says anything that's not completely flattering about them.:) They're my favorite kind of dog.
This actually seems to be a recurring pattern... There have been many instances where an idea was discovered by multiple mathematicians in a relatively short time frame, and only one gets the credit... Usually not the first, either.
I'm too lazy to do the research, but off the top of my head I think that Galois and Euler were both beaten to the punch in certain theorems by contemporaries, but ultimately they (Galois & Euler) got the credit.
If Scrabulous sets a bad precedent... What about BrettSpielWelt, a German program (available in English) which allows you to play dozens and dozens of the best board games to come out of that unlikely mecca of gaming.
It would only be "near-perfect" if we forced all adult content to use a.xxx domain, which I think borders on censorship.
What it is is a good way for responsible operators to say "This stuff ain't for kids." and for less responsible operators, they might still go for it to cover their asses.
But it's also a lot easier to filter on the client side. Just blacklist *.xxx.
It won't solve the problem, but the point here is not to make it impossible for children to access porn. The point is to make it simple for responsible producers of adult content to say "Hey, my stuff isn't for children.".xxx does this because it won't deter people looking for porn (if you don't mind going to to donkeymidgetgangbang.com, I can't see donkeymidgetgangbang.xxx being especially onerous) but it will allow for people that want to to filter out that content easily. They weren't going to spend any money on the adult businesses anyways.
Hell, if.xxx were approved, I'd be surprised if Internet Explorer, Firefox, et. al. didn't include a new feature specifically to lock out all.xxx domains unless a password is entered, much like the parental controls available on consoles, DVD players and televisions.
Points of Light is a design ethos, not a campaign setting.. All the proper names and histories mentioned in the book are like menu items for you to pick and choose. There are no maps, no geographies, no time lines. They're all just things to inspire you, detailed vaguely enough for you to run with or ignore as you desire.
They, Microsoft, are still missing the cause. They are under threat because of who and what they are. Buying Yahoo will not fix things. It will make things even worse for them. If this happens, people will leave Yahoo services in droves because the big bully monopolist, aka Evil Empire, bought them out. Are you really that deluded that you think the average person dislikes Microsoft on a moral level? Some people may be annoyed with Windows or other MS products, but most people wouldn't have any objection to using a Microsoft project based solely on the fact that it's a Microsoft product.
Remember, what is a self-evident truth to you is not to everyone. The anti-Microsoft sentiment is almost exclusive to the geek crowd, which is a teeny tiny minority, and it's hardly universal among even us.
I first heard of John McCain back when all that torture stuff was breaking news and he was taking a strong stance against it.
That is probably the single reason I endorse John McCain so heartily. I don't like everything he says, but he's obviously got a good head on him, a good sense of morals, and he's not afraid to stand up for what's right.
Needless to say, as a resident of Massachusetts, there's no way in hell I'd vote for Romney. If my life hung in the balance and I had to choose between Romney and Bush, I'd choose death.
No, but instead, if you have arcade titles you bought on a different Xbox which you've since had to replace, you'll be unable to play those titles if Live isn't up.
It's actually not hard when you know how, but there is a definite art to it.
The secret is to squish the bottom so that the the straw hole is facing vertically. Cover the end of the straw and jam it in-- don't worry about leaking or anything, it forms a remarkably airtight seal (after you drink it, try blowing the thing up with the straw. I blow as hard as I can and can't get any air to leak out around the straw)
Wouldn't a Capri Sun work just fine? Just a packet of liquid with no rigid structure which contracts to always contain the liquid...
Reminds me of that old (and false) joke about Americans spending a million dollars to invent a pen that can write in space, while the Russians used a pencil.
Now, let's watermark that sentence for a few different people.
j498fn894The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. j89g5m6-0The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. iebciemgtThe quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
By comparing each of those sentences, you see the first few characters are different in each, thus you can assume that's where the watermark is.

What you should have said was powers of two, not base 2.

Like in the 1950s, when all the white people were oppressing the corporate special interests called "black people."

Just erase the C and write a W in to turn it into a WOM-BAT.
Too obscure?
Well, they're both solid shells within which is contained compressed air.
Much like a patent troll.
Good for you! Would you like a cookie or a nice pat on the back?

I don't think it was your intention to badmouth pit-bulls, but all the same [insert whole spiel about how Pit Bulls are wonderful pets here].
Will it have a little AIBO dog with a ring around one eye?

Because domain tasting is not evil.
Wal-Mart is evil. Hitler was evil. Bush is evil. Domain tasting is annoying and inconveniencing, but to call it evil is to mollify the term evil.
That was my initial thought as well.

No...
Let's take a sentence as an example:
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
Now, let's watermark that sentence for a few different people.
