What really marks it as a thoughtless childish outburst is this: If it was supposed to be payback for the Fort Lee mayor’s non-endorsement, how does punishing everyone trying to get over the bridge specifically punish him? Fort Lee residents represent a miniscule fraction of bridge traffic, and drivers aren’t going to blame the nearest mayor when they see some Port Authority snafu.
"Isabel Allende's The House of The Spirits. Sherman Alexie's The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. Alice Walker's The Color Purple. Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye. Ralph Ellison's The Invisible Man. What do these titles have in common?"
Wow, that was very many years ago. Try it now with Xquartz, mentioned elsewhere in these comments. I haven’t had occasion to use it as a remote yet but locally at least it seems to work exactly as it should.
In the early 20th century there was a movement encouraging people to shop early, so as to be considerate of retail and delivery employees’ health and sanity.
Core to "Shop Early" was the notion that "the crowding of the shops by late purchasers of Christmas gifts is a crude and obvious denial of the Christmas spirit," as a 1913 editorial in the The Outlook magazine put it. "It is dishonoring the day to cause thousands upon thousands of girls and women to dread its approach."
The "Shop Early" ethos was around for decades, though it faded along with the political star of the progressives who popularized it. Today, some people still try to shop early, but the ethos is dead. Every opportunity for consumer convenience is extolled.
The Pew source is linked upthread; Wikipedia and adherents.com say pretty much the same. 54 is (roughly) the percentage of the world’s population that claims adherence to an Abrahamic religion. You’re the one who pulled the 2/3rds figure from somewhere.
Even if the OT were irrelevant to only 1/3rd of the world, is that supposed to be significantly better? And you appear to have a wild hair about atheism, but I wasn’t complaining that he used a religious text, rather calling out his ignorant statement as to its universality.
'It is the foundation of most of the world's religions.... They all had that basis of the Old Testament.'
I know you can’t be a dumbass and make the astronaut corps, so I’m a little confused as to how he could be saying something so stupid. The Old Testament is the foundation of exactly three of the world’s major religions (and that’s counting Judaism as arguably major.) It’s irrelevant to half the world’s population.
That person most likely doesn't pay for software, so the developer would never get money from him.
I think that’s far more valid for a game that retails for $59.95 or a software package that’s $299 than 99c iPhone apps. I understand jailbreaking as a means to run unapproved apps, but wanting to get away with nickel-&-dime shit on your expensive phone is just weird.

I figure the majority of home users still on XP are not the sort to be assiduous about updating (When they see “Important updates are available” they just click whatever makes the annoying notification go away) and are therefore already infected.
And IT departments vigilant enough that they carefully monitor for any signs of compromise are likely the same IT departments that are not being taken by surprise (or laziness) by their OS being EOLed. The ones that have been in denial are probably not going to suddenly improve.
There’s a children’s joke about a skydiver who ignores repeated warnings from passing aircraft, blimps, helicopters, people on skyscrapers, etc., that’s it’s time to open his chute. Someone warns him one last time as he’s ten feet from the ground and he replies “It’s okay, I can jump from here.”
On the one hand, quite true, fuck ’em. They brought their problems upon themselves. But on the other, their problem becomes everyone else’s when several million corporate PCs are added to the world’s botnet population.
Licensing the material from T3 would almost certainly involve agreeing not to redistribute. You wouldn’t be violating copyright (since there isn’t any,) but you’d be in breach of contract.
All target systems were fully exposed to the threats. This means that any exploit code was allowed to run, as were other malicious files
Which suggests that every time a warning popped up, e.g. "This site would like to install MalwareToolbar, Allow/Deny?" they clicked Allow, and every time a site wanted them to download malware.exe, they did and then executed it.
On the off chance you're reading this: Wrong. Much of these data are... and is thus irreplaceable. You can argue that "is" refers to the "much" rather than the "data" -- it's ambiguous due to the inconsistency -- but "much" definitely refers to the "data," and "much" is singular.
Much of these data are unique to a time and place, and is thus irreplaceable, and many other data sets are expensive to regenerate.
Whichever side of the "data is" vs. "data are" argument one falls on, I hope we can all agree that mixing both forms within the same sentence is definitely wrong.
Mavericks Server has Caching Server 2, which I haven't personally used but their blurb for it sounds like exactly what you want, at least as far as Apple devices.

What the hell is wrong with taking a kid to a titty bar? The strippers love them.
None of the authors are white?

When was the last time you checked?
Problem is that the only yardstick you’re using to measure quality is profit. Things can be valuable yet unprofitable.

Oh, and != means “not equal to.”

We atheists and antitheists know that 54% != 2/3.

Your company doesn’t consider security updates necessary?

No you can't grab your neighbor's wife and sodomize her in front of the dog.
Uh-oh.
Having an OS installed that is not getting any more security updates is not a "future cost?"
How about the guy who wants to give you better instead of less?
(Not that I know who that is, but it's not impossible. "Less" just seems like a lazy facile overarching non-solution.)
