Lets say the next car you bought, came with a full wardrobe of clothes.
Once you bought the car, you'd never have to buy clothes again.
Do you think clothes manufacturers would be upset? Nobody who bought the car would buy their clothes, ever.
Now lets say that this car manufacturer made 85% of all cars in the world. 85% of people in the world would never buy clothes ever again. The clothes companies would probably go out of business.
This is not fair business practices, it's an unfair, monopolistic, anticompetitive business practice, and it's exactly what Microsoft is doing.
I didn't say you couldn't understand it. Just because you don't know what something means doesn't mean it's unreadable. Once it shows up in your web browser it's perfectly readable.
XHTML is an XML technology, and humans can read it easily. MathML is a great language to learn, if you're interested in mathematics. There's more to XML than just plain "XML", that's why it's called the Extensible Markup Language.
Hair serves as a cooling mechanism by increasing the surface area of the body part in question, thus increasing the rate at which heat is dissipated to the atmosphere.
I'm sure that's why you see so many people wearing fur coats in texas in the summer.
The comparison is on "bang-for-your-buck", which doesn't include the "form factor". A Tower is comparable to a Tower because they are both towers. Thus, you compare ANY dell tower for ANY mac tower.
Gigabit runs on CAT-6, not CAT-5, and every single node in your network (including routers, hubs, and switches) has to support gigabit for any of them to take full advantage of it.
Where's the build qualitiy? Right there.
How's the warranty? Same as the mac, if it doesn't work, you can return it or exchange it, or do the same for individual parts.
What's the battery life?Same as the mac.
How much does it weigh?Same as the mac, if not less.
I built an absolutely, top-of-the-line PC for 1900. that includes a dual core 4400+, 7800GTX, etc. Hmm. A power mac STARTS at 2,000 dollars, and thats with a slower processor (not clockspeedwise), and a much slower and less advanced graphics card (6600 LE).
It's a specific implementation of snort, not just the code. If it was just the code, the company wouldn't be selling it, and another one wouldn't be buying it.

Phones are fast, but calls arent easily accounted for.
Snail mail is easy, but the same holds true, and it can become very disorganized.
email, on the other hand, can easily be accounted for. The FBI knows when it sees an email, who sent it, and who they sent it to. Electronic signatures allow you to make relatively sure the mail wasnt forged, encryption allows the data to remain private (can you imagine transcribing encrypted text from a physical letter to a computer just to read it?) It's organized, the mail server can easily archive it and sort it.
Best of all (to the FBI), it's controllable. If the top brass wants to read any emails that may be originating from some location outside the country and destined for inside it, email can be automatically scanned, and the email in question can be forwarded to him.
Email may have it's downsides, but the advantages far outweigh them.
The evidence IS proof. You cannot discount fossils just because they don't fit in with your plan. But lets look at it this way:
How do we know evolution happened? Because as you dig deeper, fossils become less and less like humans, and more like what evolution suggests we evolved from.
How do we know this is proof? Because it's a reproducable phenomenon. If you put something on the ground, it will be covered by dirt in time. As more time passes, more dirt covers it. It is in accordance with the scientific method, and the fact that it is true, proves that evolution is true.
You see, in science, everything is inextricably connected. In pseudoscience, in intelligent design, the ideas stand alone. They are baseless, they do not follow the scientific method, and so they are NOT SCIENCE.
> Here is the difference. Germ theory is easily testible using simple experiments. Macro-evolution is not.
You fail to note that, while evolution cannot be reproduced in one person's lifetime at the moment, there is solid evidence that it did, in fact, occur.

What you said is precisely why the big bang theory is not a widely accepted theory. Just like intelligent design, and unlike evolution, there is no proof of it. Thank you for proving my point.

Whether or not they are promoting typosquatting or not
They do! google typosquats gooogle and redirects it to google! Those sneaky bastards.
Well, Apple does have the advantage in that most people who own PC's already hate them (Apple)
I couldn't agree more.
Nearly every new feature in Windows Vista is copied from Linux - the graphics accelerated desktop was done by Linux long before Microsoft.

The geneva convention established that "Just following orders" is no excuse for committing a war crime. Apparently Yahoo feels differently.
On paper, the trips might have exactly the same elements, but the experience is worlds apart.
Unfortunately the same doesn't hold true in this case.

There have been thousands, possibly millions of documented miracles.
Care to name a few that have no possible scientific explanation whatsoever, however unlikely?

And?... nothing. Crypto was removed from the munitions list years ago wan't it?
No.
Sourcefire sells snort as part of a system. See here.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA
Microsoft has partnered up with directv for a video store, and there are rumors the ps3 will do something similar.
Next?
