At least, not by me. I imagine that most users will be confused by the presence of more than one "internet" on their machines, and one browser or another still has to be the default. Does MS have to make Firefox the default browser, too?
Why ban wikipedia?... I've been writing research papers for a friend the last few weeks using mostly Wikipedia + the sources linked from the pages to write the majority of them, and gotten A's on all of them so far while trashed.

Somehow I doubt that he wants to kill government attempts to change the definition of marriage, what with that being impossible and all. Guy's an asshat. He's open about his opposition to gay marriage. He does not want to overthrow the government, nor does he want to use violence, as per his direct quotes.
I read Card's non-fiction editorial stuff quite a bit, not because I agree, mind you. Whatever else Card is, he's committed to democracy. He thinks it's panacea and utopia and rainbows and bunny rabbits. He's completely opposed to any kind of protest against government authority. This comes up repeatedly in his writing. You take one quote, misinterpret it wildly, and come out screaming about "violently overthrowing the government" when his stated stance is support of the political process that exists.
He's an asshat. He's always been an asshat. He ignores much history and engages in Mormon apologia and hates "the terrorists." You had to pick one (inaccurate!) sticking point about gay marriage as your reason not to read his books?

Lord Ender, while I agree that Card's politics are... disagreeable, I'd like to point you (as someone else already has) to this article. The relevant quote, to prevent TLDR:
"At that point, what can we do? I've heard frustrated people talk about armed rebellion, about overthrowing the government. Those of you with itchy trigger fingers, put away your guns. We are committed to democracy, not to violence....
All we have to do is withdraw our support from the dictatorship. "
At my (on-campus) office, we have a few CS guys (I'm one) and a few IS guys. The IS guys tell themselves they'll be signing our paychecks, running their company, hiring CS guys and telling us what to do.
We stay quiet, write programs, and get internships.
To the nth generation of mules? No. Female mules almost always produce stallions or male donkeys, not other mules. Their offspring are usually infertile, too.
I, too, read it over and over. Every time I picked it up, though, it was retitled, and Lerris had a different name and profession. Wait, that's a series?
(I kid, I kid. They're great fun to read, seriously).
I wrote a proof for abstract algebra. My professor handed it back, with "I am unable to follow your reasoning" in the margin. I found that I couldn't for the life of me follow my own reasoning. 'Twas a clever proof, too. Can't remember what it was.
Indeed, and I've read the articles, and I've heard him speak. His legislative record does not bear out the things you're saying: his deeds match my support, not your "omg evil."
I'm still waiting for the ideological debate, folks.
You're wrong. You've heard it before, you've heard evidence against your view before, and you're attached to the idea that Ron Paul's a BIG SCARY RACIST, so you don't listen.
Just once, I'd like to see someone mount a real attack on the man's ideology, instead of ad hominem attacks based on lies.
Do you know why your inner ear has those three little bones that are so important to hearing? It has them because those were the jaw bones of reptiles, and they just happened to be in basically the right place that they were a few gamma-rays away from being detached. So... reptiles can't hear?
Everything I hear about 4e (subscription access to web content, big monster-type race, "WoWification") seems bad. This seems worse. I hope the independent publishers respond by sticking to 3.5e.
What exactly is he (or she) supposed to learn from C++? He's supposed to learn C++. Which is a widely used and marketable programming language, if I recall correctly.
As others have said, the old cellulose isn't the oldest evidence of life on earth. It's the oldest biological material on earth. Fossils are just rocks, prettily shaped.

They also dabble in dirtamancy from time to time. Naked trucker and T-Bone? Colbert and Stewart might count as thinkamancy... they've got a trimancer!

Yes. Mules cannot reproduce. The distinctions between species are based on the production of offspring which can reproduce to the nth generation.

Since INTERCAL is a spoof language, and Malbolge is a Turing tarpit, they both succeed at what they're for.

Replying to correct mismoderation
I haven't played it, you're right. However, I reiterate: everything I've heard sounds like a bad idea.
Everything I hear about 4e (subscription access to web content, big monster-type race, "WoWification") seems bad. This seems worse. I hope the independent publishers respond by sticking to 3.5e.
Didn't say it was any good. Said it was widely used. Which it is.
Java's compiler screams if you try a narrowing conversion (in which you could lose precision) without an explicit cast.
