7. Texas Instruments TI-99/4 (1979) [snip] The Enter key sat where a Right Shift key would normally reside on a standard layout. Also, the keyboard had a space key instead of a spacebar
Either I don't know the difference between a spacebar and a space key, or whoever wrote this article is blind. Or is that wide thing at the bottom a wrist rest?
of "USB 3.0, the upcoming version of the universal add-on standard re-engineered for the HD era, made a small appearance at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES)."
Nope.
[...] of USB 3.0, the upcoming version of the universal add-on standard re-engineered for the HD era, which made a small appearance at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES)...
or maybe
[...] of USB 3.0. The upcoming version of the universal add-on standard re-engineered for the HD era, made a small appearance at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES)...
Or, if the part in quotes really is the title of the other article (shame on whoever wrote it), then refer to it as such:
In the article titled "USB 3.0, the upcoming version of the universal add-on standard re-engineered for the HD era, made a small appearance at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES)," someone said...
Well said. The article complains about them not covering Kurt Cobain's suicide. Celebrities - people who are famous for being famous - aren't news, even when they use themselves for target practice.
'Labor makes no apologies to those that argue that any regulation of the internet is like going down the Chinese road... If people equate freedom of speech with watching child pornography, then the Rudd-Labor Government is going to disagree.'
But it is going down that road. While (I hope) only the most of extreme libertarians would agree that you should be able to watch kiddie porn, it's still a step down that road, and one step leads to another.
It should be clearly stated what is and what isn't to be censored before any bill is even presented. Any politician who says it's not intended to mean X but opposes clarifying the wording should be treated with more than the usual suspicion.
what do we have to fear from proprietary databases? It's one thing to find out your social security number was stolen. Now add your mental health and STD results to those records.
I don't see the connection here. Generally users interact with applications and the applications interact with the DBMS. So while it may be true that some are more secure than others, it's largely irrelevant. The organisation's policies anmd procedures are much more important, given that the weak point is usually the carbon units.
I know whe have to think of the children and all that, but if some country passes a law that the age of consent is 13 years, 7.2 months and 39 minutes, then what goes on inside their borders is surely none of Finland's business, isn't it?
Could a Finn who goes to England be prosecuted for driving on the wrong side of the road? Someone already mentioned different drinking ages. It just seems a bit like the thin end of the wedge to me.
The same reason why physics people look down on biology as a "lesser" science. Engaging in vehement debate using such muddled terms make you look like fools
Biology deals with living things. hence there are simply too many variables (for one, two dogs are likely to differ more than two protons). Lesser I don't accept. Messier I might.
Some moron decides that an act of violence is equivalent to 'offending someone', and no one calls him out on it?
He didn't do that. He used a metaphor - quite a common one at that - it's almost a cliché. I'm quite surprised you haven't heard it before. On second thoughts, I'm not.

If that's the delay between posts, it's more of a craptrickle.
You reckon the speed of sound decreases as air density increases? In space, nobody can hear you make a fool of yourself.
You guys crease me up!

But you'd need to be able to project your arm to use it.
I am, William, Shatner. You insensitive, clod.

So you admit you were talking shit when you said he was equating violence with something else. Good day!

Pique = a state of annoyance, or to torment/irritate someone.
He was piqued by yet another case of semi-literate, lemur-brained oafs posting lame poppycock to slashdot..
But what definition of a child applies - Finnish law's, or the one of the country where it happened?
