    Most of the books I read weren't hand-written by the author. They're still good, though.

    It does encourage stupid design flaws like shell:// though.

    The same goes for being fat. Of course, there are people stupid enough to start doing things like suing McDonald's. Some cities are contemplating placing "sin" taxes on fast food.

    All I'm saying is, when the fat police come and go Shylock on your ass (or whatever part of the body they prefer), don't say you didn't see it coming.

    There is only one authority for Christianity--the Bible.

    Well then, it's a good thing the Bible was written in such clear, unambiguous terms and that everyone agrees on what the text of the Bible is and what it means, I mean, otherwise you'd have all sorts of craziness. We can't have Christians believing in things like the Holy Trinity that aren't actually in the Bible--oh, no.

    As do I, but one of the foundations of our Constitution is the Supreme Court's duty to properly interpret it, making sure the Executive and Legislative branches don't monkey around where they shouldn't. The Supreme Court is doing the job it's supposed to do. It's not required that we agree with them.

    And where is "judicial review" in the Constitution? Never mind, I'm sure they interpreted it, after all, they do have the power of judicial review :)

    I'm not saying that the Supreme Court decided without basis that they get to intrepret the Constitution; however, this power is not explicitly outlined in the Constitution.

    Being a Cocoa program, Safari can take advantage of a lot of modular things at the system level like custom keybindings and custom input methods like Cocoa Gestures. But as other people have said, there is Camino for OS X which is Cocoa.

    I wouldn't consider Wikipedia an acceptable source. Nor, frankly, would I consider the Encyclopedia Britannica an acceptable source, and none of my teachers have since junior high.

    What do you think feedback means in the 21st century, and how do we resolve conflicts between end users and the support team and developers?

    Feedback means just that, it's feedback. You're a, you've been given feedback, and you're viewed as the feedback. And therefore, the relationship between the end users and support team is one between feedbacks.

  21. Re:Don't concern yourself with this crap... on Is Microsoft Crawling Google? · · Score: 1

    Google won't spider disallowed pages (and thus can't cache them), but it will index them nonetheless. When Google returns results with no description it usually means that the bot was excluded. It will only abstain from indexing if it spiders the page and finds a noindex meta tag (which ironically requires that it not be excluded by robots.txt).

  22. Re:Fake Science episode of This American Life on How Journalists Distort Science with Balance · · Score: 1

    One of my main gripes with reporting on science is how the latest study is often hyped up: "Researchers discover that X!" Of course, the headline "Researchers find evidence that X, awaiting critique and collaborating studies" isn't nearly as glamorous, so perhaps they should stop reporting on new studies altogether.

    In English, it's perfectly acceptable to use 'they' as the pronoun for indeterminate gender. Most people don't, for whatever reason, but it fits in quite easily.

    Actually, most people do use this convention, and it isn't proper.
