You're using old diction to make an invalid point. The point is that all those sites out there that operate for free won't be able to do so because they're no longer pulling in Ad revenue. When that happens, they'll either drop off the web or start charging admission.
From Parent: "What Google needs to do to successfully compete with MSN is to release their own messenger program that's tied in with GMail, only then will it be easier to switch your friends over to another free email service."
From sibling poster: "Personally, I don't know a single person who uses MSN Messenger. AIM, yes, lots. Yahoo messenger, a few. ICQ, a few."
Instead of writing their own messenger program, GMail could write a plug-in for Gaim http://gaim.sourceforge.net/, then push for its users to switch from over from AIM, MSN Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, ICQ. Gaim supports all of these and more in one awesome interface.
You've got it 100% right. My family is all about outdoor activities: camping, hiking, fishing, and hunting. Every summer, my entire family would take a week-long camping trip, and my dad would bring a few guns and go hunting at least twice. They were always locked up, never loaded, and stored separately from the ammunition.
We'd sit around the campfire at night and my dad would clean his guns from that day's use. As a child is naturally curious, I wanted to know what that thing dad had was. He didn't pull it away and say, "No! Bad!" He showed me what it was, described how it worked, and let me hold it (obviously unloaded and extremely supervised).
For as long as I can remember, gun safety has been ground into me, so I have no problem with anyone owning a gun, as long as they're responsible with it (locked up, unloaded, and stored separately from the ammunition). It's the ass-hat that leaves a loaded pistol in his unlocked nightstand drawer that everyone needs to worry about.
Guns don't decide how they're used. Guns don't choose to be stored in a drawer where a child can get to them. Dumbass people do. "Guns! Bad!" is the cry of the ignorant.
Moral of the story: Guns don't kill people, idiots and assholes do.
"...perhaps Mozilla should just take the lead on this and remove frame support entirely."
As much as I hate frames (oh GOD do I hate frames!), this would be a step back for FireFox and its proponents. One of the largest arguments for using non-IE browsers is compatibility with standards. Frames are in the HTML 4.01 standard, and therefore, removing support would be incredibly hypocritical.
Speaking for myself, my hatred of these things comes not from a blind prejudice, but from experience. Like many things, the idea of The Union is a great one, in theory, but when I (a co-op/intern, getting my first "real-world" experience) has to teach the union laborers how to do their jobs, or worse do it for them because they're lazy/don't care, and have undo job security, one tends to see the light.
Unions provide a security blanket that allows people to get by with a minimalist attitude. In the environmental department of a power plant, that is most definitely a bad thing.
Next, unions give bargaining power to laborers; I'm all for that. When the workers abuse this power to force unfair conditions on the business/plant/etc, however, it's the same abuse of power that existed before unions, only in the opposite direction.
I'm fully aware that my exerience is limited, but it's easy to find more than a few instances where such abuse of power exists/has existed.
Chill. It was a joke, an obscure reference and nothing more. I got it, and I'm sure a lot of other people do too. In fact, the first person to respond to this with the allusion source wins...
On XP (and perhaps earlier versions, don't have any to check), you can go into Control Panel -> Add/Remove Software -> Add/Remove Windows Components (side panel). Uncheck Internet Explorer and follow the instructions.

Exactly! Remember the movie Tommy Boy where Zolinski wanted to buy Callahan Auto just so it could use their name? Same thing, except AOL succeeded where Zolinski failed.
If you've got a problem with the Drinking Age, attack the drinking age laws. Don't support a system whose WEAKNESS allows a currently illegal activity to go on.
It's not officially vaporware until the project has died and gone to hell. Or at least, know one knows if it's vaporware until then. If there is still a pending release, which all the developer backlash would suggest, then it's just delayed, not dead and buried.
Physical theft/distribution is much less widespread, therefore, they have more to lose from file sharing, hence the harsher sentence. Or something like that.

Switching to one shared library means there's only one place for vulnerabilities to arise in this respect...
The problem with this is that now, that one place is in the kernel of your operating system.We apologise again for the fault in the subtitles. Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked, have been sacked.

That's just the point... It wouldn't have been possible for me to get to them. What part of LOCKED UP, UNLOADED, WITH NO AMMO don't you uderstand?

Does that sound like what a good democratic nation should be doing?
Perhaps not, but it sounds like the least of what these people deserve, and a lot less than what I'd do them if I got anywhere near them.Line-item veto is a really bad idea, especially considering who's currently holding the pen.
I don't see how this makes a difference. Anything on his desk has already passed through Congress. He can't add shit.
Why should the president have authority to change the bill without it going back to congress?
Who said anything about changing it? Veto = no, not "No, but we'll do this..."
What would stop him from leaving in the stupid attachments and vetoing everything else
- Housing budget proposal - VETO
- Emergency Relief - VETO
- Death penalty for violating leash laws - APROVE
Somehow, I don't see it happening. And if it does, Congress can always override it. Problem solved.Seems like that's the only intelligence in MSIE 5.
Does anyone know the root password???

Why do americans look down on unions?

Colonel ObviousIf you've got a problem with the Drinking Age, attack the drinking age laws. Don't support a system whose WEAKNESS allows a currently illegal activity to go on.
Geez, you'd need to have spent half your life on drugs and alcohol to think this is a good idea and sign it into law.
That's probably why you think it's a bad idea.It's not officially vaporware until the project has died and gone to hell. Or at least, know one knows if it's vaporware until then.

I was with it once. But now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems strange and scary to me.
It's interesting to see how everyone here is complaining how this is news, yet the site is /.'ed none-the-less. hmmmmmm...
