Obviously you were joking, but as I understand it, the Prius has an interesting transmission that doesn't really use gears. I'm not entirely clear on how it works, but I guess it's a smooth continuum rather than the distinct steps of gears.
Actually, if they just made the image a question that you'd have to answer (an easy one), I think that would go a long way to make it harder for bots to get it right.
The problem was never really that IE was bundled with the OS. The problem was MS forcing vendors NOT to bundle Netscape with Windows, which they could get away with due to the Windows monopoly. Thus they were illegally leveraging their monopoly.
The Americans would have easily won if they'd programmed their robots to say, "Wenn ist das Nunstruck git und Slotermeyer? Ja!... Beiherhund das Oder die Flipperwaldt gersput!"
Yeah, I have an iTrip, and while the sound isn't horrible or anything, it sounds noticeably worse than a CD or the iPod by itself (and I'm not normally the type to notice these things).
Actually, you're the one being either intellectually lazy or purposely intellectually dishonest. Not trusting the mainstream media is VERY different from not trusting individual journalists -- that's really a strawman argument.
Guess what? You CAN'T trust computer people in general because of the actions of hackers and others. This is why IT security exists. A few bad computer people can do enormous damage. In the same way, a few bad journalists here and there can have a huge impact. Think about this: if someone publishes complete fabrications and never gets caught, those fabrications stand as published truths which other journalists will cite, which could then themselves be cited later, etc.
Not implicitly trusting the mainstream media is something like having a firewall in place. Most people out there aren't trying to hack your computer, but the possibility for such is great if you're not protected. Similarly, there are enough lazy, stupid, and/or malicious people out there that you should remember to keep a critical eye open with whatever you're reading.
That's why they'll call it the Protection of Open and Free Television Act or some other Orwellian name and attach it to some other feel-good or must-pass legislation.
I doubt there are too many American politicians these days who'd want to be known for voting in favor of POOFTA either...
Not really. The first says we need to seek natural answers, but not that there necessarily will be any. The second may say that science only investigates the natural, but that's true.
Similarly when trey parker and matt stone made south park bigger, longer, uncut, they managed to mess with the censors enough to keep all them naughty words without getting the R rating.
No, they managed, barely, not to get an NC-17 warning.
Christianity would be more an offshoot of Judaism than anything else
Christianity IS an offshoot of Judaism more than anything else.
Anyway, Mormons believe in God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that Jesus is God's Son, that he's a god incarnated, in Heaven, etc. The only difference is that instead of believing that the three are all one being except not one being at the same time, they believe that they are all three separate beings who are so unified in purpose as to be practically one being.
How about "Person who believes that Jesus Christ is his savior?" The only thing I've seen that says Mormons don't fit the definition of Christian is that they don't believe in the trinity. That's really a nitpick though because Mormons believe in something really similar to the trinity.
Man, am I the only one that gets that this whole thing is a joke? It's obvious that this trademark would not help Apple at all. This whole thing is a joke pointing out how dumb Tiger Direct's suit is. As a bonus it gets Redhat some free PR.

I could have sworn I had to install it. My bad.
Flash doesn't ship with Windows either.

Nerds don't like fantasy books and movies all of a sudden?

Whether it sucks or not is irrelevant. He said it wasn't going to do well.
Yes, the selling out of these theaters before the list of theaters showing it was even out is a good indication that this movie will tank.

Um, they have state-issued ID for people who don't drive.
Stating the mainstream media doesn't logically preclude other media and therefore isn't contradictory. The topic was simply the maintstream media.

That's rather insulting to marine iguanas!
Yeah, look at the word "cleave," for instance. It can mean both to separate and to stick together!
I understand the Lindows/Linspire joke, but honestly I think Winux would be a more amusing name.
Or who watches Monty Python. ;)

It's similar to how Spider-man can dodge bullets (though of course those don't move at light speed). They have "jedi-sense."

A... headless iMac? Isn't that essentially what it already is?

By the way I believe they already internally refer to the low end PowerMac as the PowerMac Mini.
