They probably do this because they have been burned too many times by hiring people who looked good on paper who turned out not to know what an IP address is once they started working.
despite being a comedy program The Colbert Report appears to exercise "disproportionate real world influence" -- likely due to the "elite demographic" of its audience."
More likely, it's because the vast majority of TV political coverage is more superficial and intellectually bankrupt than this comedy program.
Who exactly is terrorizing us these days? Seems like our "elected officials" just want us to be scared all the time so we won't really think about what's going on.
I really wish people would pay more attention to posting things in the appropriate groups. I hate having to wade through all that professional incest porn in the amateur porn newsgroups.
Vote against the bill, denying law enforcements precious tools
I can't believe you drank that Kool-Aid. Voting against this bill would NOT have denied law enforcement any precious tools. They would be able to operate under the old FISA rules just as they have been for decades.
Voting against this bill was the only reponsible thing to do. For someone who took an oath to defend the constitution, it was the only moral thing to do. Obama, like the rest of the senators who voted for it, betrayed that oath and the people who voted for him.
I don't understand why the poster would want to sheild pre-teens from darkness and cynicism. What a strange attitude.
But to answer the questions, I'd suggest just about anything by Andre Norton.
Mitch Kapor, founder of the Lotus Corporation, has a different view: 'Claims by Microsoft that people were buying the software because it was good are pretty self-serving'
While true, that's pretty much the Lotus pot calling the Microsoft kettle black.
But what's the "right" way? And who decides?
That was what made the developers in the ticket notes seem so arrogant: they kept talking about the "right" way for the GUI to behave, which just isn't applicable to GUIs.
ridiculous ideals of "standards" (really just your competitors ganging up and defining stuff to screw you over).
Is that really what you think standards are? Remember, Microsoft is a member of the organization that defined the standards! They aren't a secret and they weren't designed by Micrsoft's competitors. Compliance to standards would make it easier, faster and cheaper to do web development; it would be good for business.
What do you want, for Microsoft to change the rendering engine out from under people? Thousands of websites to stop working in that browser (the one that most people use) until the developers can fix the site? It's a bad situation, and it's Microsoft's fault to begin with, but what solution would you propose that wouldn't inconvenience a lot of end users (both developers and their customers, alike)?
I think there's a pretty simple solution. Have "quirks" mode render the old way, so sites written for IE6 and IE7 will render in "quirks" mode. Have "strict" mode render them according to standards. Very simple.
If you have a website written for IE6 or IE7, you don't have to rewrite the whole thing, just make sure you're using the correct doctype.
3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever
But that's from the King James version; I don't know what the Hebrew was that was translated as "tree of life".
It's an organization of people that divides labor for the purpose of maximizing the welfare of all
Of all? I don't know of any corporation that divides labor for the purpose of maximizing the welfare of all. Most are only interested in the welfare of the highest ranking executives and the owners or shareholders. From everyone else, they're trying to get as much work as possible for as little pay as possible.
Come on, this isn't a class struggle. It's Big Business trying to protect their intellectual property. DRM sucks, this is yet another way in which it degrades computer systems. But Apple's just being a company
That's actually a plot point in the unabridged "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Dumas (pere). The Count bribes a telegraph operator to let him run the equipment, and sends a fake message about Juan Carlos returning to Spain. Baron Danglars dumps all his Spanish bonds based on this false insider information.
Its my understating from reading hundreds and hundreds of/. posts that this isn't supposed to happen with FOSS. Only Micro$oft developers are supposed to have security bugs like this.
Then I question your reading comprehension.
FOSS apps, like proprietary apps, are only as good as their programmers. But with FOSS, far more programmers can review the code, and fix vulnerabilities like this when they arise.

And the "opposition" in Congress will back him up, tugging their forelocks and mumbling "Whatever you command, Mr. President."
They probably do this because they have been burned too many times by hiring people who looked good on paper who turned out not to know what an IP address is once they started working.
My former employer (Prudential Financial) actually blocked employees from browsing bugmenot at work. They put it in the category "hacking".
More likely, it's because the vast majority of TV political coverage is more superficial and intellectually bankrupt than this comedy program.
Bingo. Oldest trick in the book.
Funny, I just logged on last night.

What is so fucking difficult about spelling "led" correctly?
While true, that's pretty much the Lotus pot calling the Microsoft kettle black.
Or even better, refrain from overthrowing other governments altogether except in self-defense.
"Baaaaaaaah"
If the current crop of politicians had been in Congress 35 years ago, Nixon would have served a full second term.
But what's the "right" way? And who decides?
That was what made the developers in the ticket notes seem so arrogant: they kept talking about the "right" way for the GUI to behave, which just isn't applicable to GUIs.
There are only two possible political viewpoints, liberal and conservative.
Are you forgetting a couple skyscrapers that used to be in New York City?
Are you forgetting that it's legal to discrminate against gays and lesbians in much of the United States?
Fundamentalist Muslims and Christians have done quite a bit of direct harm.

I'm out of moderator points or I'd give you some. Why the hell is this immunity even being considered by politicians from either party?
