That still isn't censorship. The comments are still there, readable by anyone. If you have a problem with this, which is clearly stated underneath every comment submission form, you have an overly-large stick up your arse, and you find something better to whine about. There is REAL censorship in the world about way more important shit than what gets reported on here.
um, are you talking about the very visible tags that set off the shoplifting detectors? those aren't rfids. afaik, walmart's plans for rfids were only to track inventory in warehouses.
the invention of photography allowed art to break away from merely capturing nature. it was no longer interesting to paint the natural world, so painters turned to non-objective art.
for my only college writing class, we ended up talking about what environment we all wrote in.
about half the class preferred pencil and paper or typewriters to a computer, whch was quite surprising for a class called "writing in electronic environments"
If usage is the decisive thing in the meaning of words, as your link says, then 'completist' is perfectly valid as I use it and see it used quite often.
e.g., I used to be a Smashing Pumpkins completist until their last album.
Getting the word out Ok, question - has anyone outside of wikipedia actually noticed? I added a couple geek friendly Featured articles to the main page in anticipation of a slashdotting (for the record, my submission was shot down in 2 minutes flat). Raul654 08:04, Feb 2, 2004 (UTC)
Please don't - that would kill the second hand server that we are now using. Things are slow enough as it is. We should concentrate on the project-wide 500,000 press release instead. By the time we hit that milestone, the new server farm should be up and running. --mav 08:08, 2 Feb 2004 (UTC)
I had to read the article before figuring out that extremophiles were not folks who enjoy things like base jumping on Mars, "water"skiing on the freeway, real-life Crazy Taxi, nude Antarctic beaches, etc. etc.

Wrong degree, dude.

Of course I do. This is hardly a wild claim. Ever since the moderation system came about has it been echoed through the halls of Taco.
well, calling mach-based systems Unix-like is not necessarily true. OS/2 on IBM's RS6000 architecture runs on top of a Mach microkernel, for example.

How is it censorship if you can still get access to it?
plenty of other mac mail clients do some sort of encoding because of the mac's forked filesystem, be it macbinary or whatever.
they also zip/stuff any folder, not just application packages
Oh, but look at this! MAC/Simpsons@MM is actually an AppleScript worm that uses Microsoft products to propogate!
or if you're into piercing, they already have special sites for that.
right. the shoplifting detectors aren't unique identifiers.
um, are you talking about the very visible tags that set off the shoplifting detectors? those aren't rfids. afaik, walmart's plans for rfids were only to track inventory in warehouses.
kind of like how playing 2 cd's at the same time is much less likely to get you laid than playing two vinyl records at the same time. ;)

both the sega genesis and the SNES could play their predecessors' games with an add-on. in the case of the SNES, the addon was third-party though
I'm not Spartacus!

OK, keep slashdot out.

the factor of 10 between my userid and yours doesn't clue you into anything? at all?
