WHY did you choose 0.9.3? I love FF, and I've used 0.9.3 for a while, but I upgraded to 1.0 as soon as it was here. I understand that 1.0 just came out, but wouldn't an older version have been better than using 0.9.3 for this? Not that I was going to touch it anyway, but why did AOL make such a stupid choice?
It's a reference to a recent/. article that said that in Korea, email is mostly a senior-citizen thing, 'cuz youngsters generally use blogs/SMS/IM to communicate.
Perhaps. But that's how most of the drugs on the market got there - government funding to get the field started long enough for corporations to say, "hey, making a drug/treatment out of this might be profitable". Which, of course, is a good thing (free enterprise, private market, blah blah blah), as you mention ("our healthcare... isn't socialized (and I'm friggin happy it ain't!)"). Most new technologies like stem cell research are too long-term for corporations to get involved; they'd be irresponsible to do so. So government help is needed.
Think about it, if this were in fact true (which it is not) then homosexuality would eventually become extinct through natural selection. (over billions and billions of years, of course) Unless you assume that this is a common occuring mutation that occurs regularly.
This fallacy is disproved in at least two ways that are covered in several sources; google for "Hardy-Weinberg" and for "genetics of malaria and sickle-cell anemia".
They do harvest organs from comatose humans. And frankly, if not for the fact that I have a disability that makes my body useless for research (because it's not a standard-issue body), I'd donate it to science when I'm dead.
Because much of this research won't happen unless it's government funded (its long-term, not a quick buck). If there was no gov't funding, you'd have 10^6 aspirin knockoffs and no real treatments. A lot of commercial drugs never would've been developed w/o gov't assistance.
Pre-existing lines that are contaminated with pathogens and mouse cells, many of which have reached the end of their useful lifespans. It's effectively a ban on federal funding, period.
How about this then: they're not dead yet, but they will be. Why not allow federal funding for research on "surplus" embryos taken from IVF facilities (i.e., embryos that are not going to be implanted, but that are going to be flushed down the drain?)
Blame the Brits? Unfortunately, this bar game is around in the States, too. The problem is not just that most dwarfs (we call ourselves "dwarfs", or "short-statured") see this as degrading, but that it is dangerous. Not that we're particularly worried about the dwarfs that subject themselves to this - they are probably aware of the risks, even if they are ignoring them - but the fact that this is seen as "acceptable" creates a danger for Joe Dwarf walking down the street, in that some day, some drunk asshole will think, "oh, hey, there's one of them guys I can throw!" and try it.
That would be my problem, then. My "middle button" is my scroll wheel, so it's stiff, and I hate clicking R+L at the same time. Maybe I should buy a mouse so I can try it... or not.
Anyway, the point of my post was, although I hate this feature in Windows, it'd be nice to have it pop up "do you need a tutorial" with a "show this again y/n" box, simply because it is radically different from the vast majority of desktop environments out there.
People generally don't like tinyURL. No knowing if it links to cnn.com/foo or goatse.cx (or whatever the current mirror is, since that site is offline). There's a negative reaction in general to the freeipod crap, but getting rid of that tinyURL would probably help you.
In science, "theory" means something radically different than in standard English. Check your facts - and oh, you're not half of America. BTW, which is the "real" creation story - there are two in the Bible, y'know?
Wrong. It doesn't stop punishing people for believing it's morally correct to carry them out, it begins punishing people who don't believe it's immoral.

My advice: install FF and x (Paranoia plugin) for 'em and tell the kids what it is.

Since he's talking about a batch conversion ... is there anyway to automate it? I didn't think so.
I think you mean that you would "except this confusion on /.".

I think the subject says it all.
Forgot this in my other reply ... I love the way Maya does menus (the hotbox - hit and hold space to open it); is that similar to how it works in E?

Stupid question, for which I expect a stupid answer ... having downloaded e16 a while back, and tried it a bit ... how the fuck do I learn to use it?
You might have protests from the "government money going to what?" crowd. They'd be idiots in this case, but when has that ever stopped protests?

I'd say that linus is the JFK of "executives" in comparison.
Really? When's the video game coming out? </excited-gamer>
OS X: Windows-like GUI, Unix-y command line.
You do. Please send that money to Bungie, c/o Magefile at ... ah, screw it. This isn't the place to try a phishing scam.
Like he said ... *legitimate* scientists.

Holonomically?
