Um, no. How about DVDs? Many of them are cheaper and you can enjoy them as long as you want too. And on a dollar-per-hour basis, practically any video game has CDs beat too. Pretty much any form of entertainment you do at home is cheaper than CDs, but of course you decided to compare it to the wrong kinds of things to make your point.
No, because no one would be able to tell. In fact, I can't imagine WHY they wouldn't do so anyway. It seems a lot easier and less conspicuous. Of course, it wouldn't work if you search on other engines.
It's very difficult to stop the polygamy in Utah because the victims, the daughters you speak of, won't testify against anyone. From a very young age, this lifestyle, if one can call it that, is pounded into their heads. It's somewhat like battered wives who won't testify against their husbands.
Your faulty conclusion is far from the "only explanation."
So, you are implying there's a law against publishing insider information sent to you for that purpose? Silly me, I thought we enjoyed freedom of the press in this country!
Like all our freedoms, there is a limit. There IS a law against soliciting NDA-signers to reveal trade secrets.
Apple's (legitimate) complaint is that they have employees leaking secret information. They have no right to use the courts to strong-arm the press into identifying the culprits.
The one feature I particularly like about it is the ability to switch to IE rendering. As a web designer, this ability could save me having to open IE to test sites.
Of course, I'd much prefer the functionality be implemented in FF.
Why do phones suddenly need biometric security devices?? As far as I'm aware, security isn't that big of a problem concerning cell phones. None or close to none of the current generation (or previous) of phones has much of any security like that, nor do many pda's I've seen.
Most people don't keep a lot of really sensitive data on their phones, and phones aren't really remotely hackable like normal computers. Why all of a sudden do we need face recognition on them??
How could it possibly be completely unpredictable? There must be something that causes it, and therefore logically it must be in some way predictable even if we will never be able to do it. I have to think that if our best scientists think something is really unpredictable, then there's something we haven't figured out yet about it.
This layman's opinion has been brought to you by Work. Work: It's that thing I'm supposed to be doing.
While I agree with your point, I have to call you out on this statement:
While there may be physiological differences between men and women (and there are studies supporting that), no study has conclusively shown that women inherently lack the necessary skills to succeed in math, science, and engineering. Therefore, the reasons that girls choose English, Psychology, and Biology over Math, Computer Science, and Engineering (for example) are societal influences.
Come on. As a computer scientist, you must know that such a statement is a non-sequitur. "Since there is no proof of X, the opposite must be true." Furthermore, are there studies that conclusively prove that the reasons are societal? (There might be, I honestly don't know.) If not, it's not very scientific at all to say unequivically that the reasons are societal.
The W3C just confuses me. They don't allow marquees; fair enough, I don't either. They're annoying. But now they're implementing them in CSS as well. Are they suddenly not annoying in CSS?
Yeah, you're definitely confused all right. The blink tag and marquees weren't deprecated because they were annoying. The W3C is not there to make that kind of judgment call. They were deprecated because they describe presentation and not semantics.
"We, as dedicated users and supporter of your hardware and software are completely dismayed at your recent decision to discontinue standard FireWire support for the iPod music player line," the petition states, going on to note that "It is very unfortunate that you have left your faithful out in the dark on this one."
"Completely dismayed??" Seriously? Not only do these people apparently have no lives such that the discontinuing of standard firewire support would leave them completely dismayed, but APPLE ISN'T EVEN DISCONTINUING FIREWIRE SUPPORT! They're just not including a cable in the box.
These people are dedicated Mac fans, spending the substantial sums you pay for Mac quality, but they can't bear to pay a little extra to get a firewire cable? Not only that, but if they have a previous iPod with a firewire cable, I'm sure they can continue to use that cable if they upgrade.
Now, I do think it would be nice if Apple gave an option between USB and Firewire, but this is really NOT a big deal.
Hearing about this case makes me want to kill some cops! Time to sue that lawyer, the American judicial system, and of course Slashdot! I'd have included people involved with TFA, but since this IS Slashdot, no one would believe I read it....
Seriously though, the only bit of justice I see here is that Walmart is being sued for selling a game rated M to someone under 17. I think that's perfectly reasonable and since I hate Walmart anyway, all the better.

So what they've done is better than what some do, but still is the same frowned-upon, black hat tactic.
No, because no one would be able to tell. In fact, I can't imagine WHY they wouldn't do so anyway. It seems a lot easier and less conspicuous. Of course, it wouldn't work if you search on other engines.
What I really care about isn't actually the time, but the fact that I can have them both in the same window on different tabs.
But therein does not lie the how.

I get it regularly in XP.
You can easily disable the dock in OS X if you are so inclined, though to my knowledge you cannot have multiple docks.
No, he really didn't. He certainly implied that they would leverage it, but I don't see anything in there discussing how they would do so.
I assume you were being facetious, because that's definitely not insightful.
Yeah, the site was even down for a day or two recently.

Why? The truthfulness of those statements hasn't changed, nor has the fact that repeating something enough times will make some people believe you.
It's perfectly appropriate to use the possessive where I did because you are the one who used the term. :P
