Might it have anything to do with herown goddamn campaign banner choices? Jesus, what a vapid, self-victimizing post! Whatever reason will martyr her in your eyes, you'll take it, I guess.
Perhaps this comment is superfluous since the only person backing you up is an Anonymous Coward, and maybe that's you attempting to vindicate yourself. However, no reply attacking your intelligence, right though they were, gave the reason why the phrase is correct. "Such as it were" is an example of the subjunctive. It's a mood. Pick up a grammar book if you want further explanation. The selfsame mood is the reason for the phrase "Were I to go out...". What?? Were I? You don't say I were. You say I was! Yes, it's the subjunctive, and it's a part of so many languages and would still be important even if it were as little used as it is in English.
It's true--Macedonia was a city state. However, from an Athenian's perspective, the Macedonians certainly were *another* people because they considered them barbarians (hence I leave out the term "civilisation"). Of course, Aristotle himself was born in Macedonia, and Alexander would go on to conquer them. Probably as much jealousy and ill-will in the Athenian sentiment as there is truth to it.
In 2004, 30 billion barrels of oil were consumed worldwide, while only eight billion barrels of new oil reserves were discovered. Huge, easily exploitable oil fields are most likely a thing of the past. In August 2005, the International Energy Agency reported annual global demand at 84.9 million barrels per day (mbd) which means over 31 billion barrels annually. This means consumption is now within 2 mbd of production. At any one time there are about 54 days of stock in the OECD system plus 37 days in emergency stockpiles.

uTorrent is working on this right now. BitComet hasn't really given any information about their implementation, so ludde, the uT developer, has to do it from scratch. However, supposedly it might be released for other clients to implement. I say "supposedly" and "might" because I can't find concrete evidence on the uT forums right now to back this up. Azureus has also been working with their own header encryption which is in CVS. Check out the Azureus wiki for more information.
This is inefficient for a number of reasons. What if my IP address changes? What if I use multiple computers from multiple locations with multiple IP addresses? What if I want to seed in two places at once to get a better ratio? What if I share an IP with hundreds of others (e.g., on a college campus) and some jerk does something to get the IP banned?
The passkey system takes care of this, and is pretty efficient at what it does. The only problem is that if someone's passkey gets out, anyone can leech with that account because it is not bound to an IP address. Simply resetting the passkey takes care of that if it happens, but if someone has the torrent already and it wasn't created with the privacy flag on then any client with DHT (mainline or Azureus's implementation) can grab the torrent without being registered with the tracker and thus reporting no stats.
This is also used if you ARE registered with the tracker and only want to leech without having your stats reported to the tracker. Though most trackers are getting wise enough to recognise this, the methods of doing so are tenuous (for example, banning someone who has downloaded 100.torrent files and has 34MB transferred in his stats--like I said, tenuous).

It doesn't really seem fair to say that they use a "non-standard box model." They read the spec and interpreted it one way, the wrong way. This can happen, and the spec isn't always so clear. The real blame is that, KNOWING this, they still haven't fixed it in 7 years.
CSS is fantastic, and easy to comprehend after an initial learning curve.
Agreed, that's all we need. We go to all the trouble of promoting a superior alternative that makes the market competitive again, and what do we do? Push for a new monopolist? No way.
No, that's EXACTLY what needs to be done. And do you know what that "monopoly" will be? Web standards. So, that doesn't promote Firefox over IE; it promotes standards-compliant browsers* over non-standards-compliant browsers.
Interesting that you bring that up. The writers of "free software" might not stop to think about it, but the Supreme Court and *AA lawyers surely do. This software is being legislated against already--isn't there a double standard if "bad things" that can be done with free software and "bad things" can be done with software companies are selling? Is copyright infringement or a human rights violation more important?
the back-end switch to open source had cost 17 percent of what a proprietary upgrade had been costed at
Similarly the Massachusetts Technology Leadership Council on the OpenDocument format mentioned the "cost of a Windows upgrade" if they wanted to upgrade to the next Office version instead of using something that supported an open format. They said that:
If we were going to go through a migration, my understand of the new Office 12 is that it will not run on Windows 2000, therefore that migration will require a change in desktop operating system, as well as the office application suite itself. We don't know what the pricing of that might be. I've also been told, although I don't have direct experience, that the interface is changing significantly with Office 12. That will obviously create training needs for us within the state. If you compare the operating system upgrading cost--and of course we can only estimate it by prior experience, the upgrade cost for Microsoft Office--we can only estimate that by prior experience, the training intensity--we can only estimate that by prior experience, and probably some necessary hardware upgrades; we believe that an upgrade for us for, to go to that migration, if that were the choice, would be on the order of about 50 million dollars. And we estimate that the cost of going--if we were to go, for example, this is ONLY hypothetical--to OpenOffice, the cost with training and everything else would be on the order of about 5 million dollars. So, there's about a ten-times differential.
Bold mine. I would like to point out for background info that they said they are running mostly Win2k and Office 2003, and that they wanted to state "vehemently" that they didn't want cost to be made into an issue.
Federal prosecutors said Albert Valente, 28, of Lakewood, took a copy of the movie from a post-production facility where he worked and gave it to a friend, Jessie Lumada, 28, of Long Beach.
So, they spent how much of that $380 million to figure out that it was an inside job, like everyone already knew? Doesn't really matter; he can afford it.
Maybe you're unfamiliar with FF's Quick Searches. They're in your bookmarks.
The standard google search through the address bar is by using "g " and hit Enter. You can use any Google search string: "g wiki site:wikipedia.org" + Enter works just like you'd expect.
And you can do this with any search you want. Wikipedia and Dictionary.com are built in already, and you can add whatever you want. I have TorrentSpy.com's search, for example. "ts " + Enter. Works like a charm. You can change the codes to whatever you want if you're unhappy with the default keywords (such as "g", "wp", and "dict") in your bookmarks.

This is clear proof that the French founded civilization.
No, but they're expecting to take care of that with a service pack to v3.
Maybe many eyes would make all dupes shallow too...

I know. By "go on to conquer them", I meant the Athenians. Hence, they'd have resentment.

What has baffled me is that Google.cn servers aren't even in China, so what's this talk about compliance with local laws? Am I wrong?

Is Avant Browser a secure browser?
Yes, Avant Browser is secure. Since it's based on Internet Explorer, Avant Browser is as secure as Internet Explorer.
Their depandable servers obviously aren't running Singularity. ;)

True enough. "Hobbyist" is just an inch from being "Lobbyist."

Glad to see this has happened, but at the moment the code isn't currently valid. Like the new subtleties of the design, particularly the reply page.
