Seriously, I have been seeing this example for ages and I just realised that "flies" in the second sentence is a noun:( I was all like, "Fruit doesn't fly like a banana! Bananas don't fly!" What chance does a computer stand?:P
I think it's a bit childish to crave other people telling you how they like something you like. I like it, it's useful to me, it works for me, I'll continue to use it if I'm the last person on earth (that goes for any OS).
Hmm, not to troll or whatever, but why do we care what OS does some company use? It's not like I ever work for the company, the most that change is going to affect me is the 404 page will say IIS instead of Apache. And it doesn't mean that one OS is better than the other, just that that company decided to use one. I'm not a company, I'll go with whatever suits me.
How can you sue someone for other peoples' comments on his/her blog? Most people don't even read the comments, and are certainly not responsible for their content. That's like suing the phone company for what someone said on the phone.
Although it's quite fast it's still line-of-sight, and very short range. So, what can I do with this, transfer 12.5 MB/sec off my mobile phone? To connect my PCs I have wifi or LAN, I wouldn't use IrDA anyway for that.
...if it had 40 GB capacity would I buy this. Then I would be stuck forever with this cellphone (which, for all I know, could be crappy) and I wouldn't buy a new one even if this got old because I would already have a half-decent cellphone I'd have to carry around with me because it's also my mp3 player.
Then I'll just XOR all my disc's file's bytes with one another. Someone will surely be able to reconstitute all the files given the one bit. In fact, I'll give you access to my entire disk; the hash is 1.
Hmm, this appears to be a kind of salt applied to the picture so they can change it if the hash gets stolen. But then, why not just apply the salt to the hash (like normal md5 salts), and just change the salt when it's stolen? The salts (like the minutia points) would be stored somewhere and the attacker couldn't use the same salt if you changed yours.
I don't like this. Say that someone discovers the "password" (the hash), then you're done. You can't change it (unless you grow a moustache). Same goes with fingerprints, etc. I think a password (passphrase) is much more practical.
Employers ask for resumes for a reason, they want to see what you know. They can't see how much you know from a 30 minute interview, so they want to look at your resume. Of course, if you know more, they'll realise that while you're working for them and promote you, or, conversely, realise you don't know anything and fire you. I just hope they knew the difference between useful and useless degrees (like the ECDL).
Bah, it would be cool if they used the laser to shred the papers into tiny little confetti. Then we could begin the whole "printers with lasers on their heads" comment storm!
It's true that many times the developers that make the GUI decisions aren't fit to, because the average user doesn't have the same view of programs as a developer does. It's great that they're partnering with another site to promote usability (especially for the GIMP, which I find to be a bit overwhelming). I wish more programs did that.
You argument is very sound, because as we all know, coffee is made for drinking, and bleach is also made for drinking. Therefore, spilling coffee on you is the same thing as putting bleach in your eye. Because only dumb people spill their coffee, and they DESERVE to get 3rd degree burns for it.
That's quite a question, if you're blind. I don't think most programs/sites are easily accessible to people with disabilities (I tried a screenreader once, it was awful, but then again, what can substitute vision?). To them, voice has a much more important meaning than to you and to me.
BBC, as a publicly funded institution, much like PBS, obviously views broadcast completely different than a for-profit station.
I don't think so. At least where I live (Greece), for-profit TV stations make money by showing ads (and plenty of them, too). If they were streaming shows on the web at the same time they could include the ads, which would just give them more revenue while also being convenient for the users.

That's not the point. The point is, what do we care what they're running? It's about as useful as an article saying what OS I run.
Hmm, not to troll or whatever, but why do we care what OS does some company use? It's not like I ever work for the company, the most that change is going to affect me is the 404 page will say IIS instead of Apache.

This is the first time a UK swimmer has been saved by the £65,000 Poseidon system since it was installed in March of 2003.
Does this mean that the others weren't saved, or that that noone else came close to drowning?

This is like, the ONE article where this actually fits :p
I don't know if you included the [sic] for "posing" or for "thank", but posing a question is quite correct (unlike "beg", when you mean raise).

Although known as "1000-year-old eggs" they are rarely more than 100 days old.
:(
Pff, I want those 999+ years I paid for!

Hey, if it's free internet, I don't care if it's from SCO, sign me up!
And, more importantly, why doesn't the DoD get their files off internet-connected PCs?
Not to mention that the page layout is all screwed up in opera, it cuts the rightmost few letters :(

Actually, the McDonald's coffee case wasn't all that dumb:
