Seriously pal, quit masturbating every night and move out of your parent's basement already. Your paranoid-driven angst is almost painful to read.
Family Guy was never originally good with the ratings. Fox's schedule shuffling was an attempt to keep it alive (not purposely kill it like you think) by finding an audience that could compete share-wise with their other programming. Re-airing on Adult Swim saved it because it allowed it to gradually build a fan base at a pace that bigger networks (which compete with other bigger networks) can't afford. I too, originally, didn't like it but now I'm a huge fan and I'm glad it came back.
As far as why Cleveland, why not? Who are you to say what the writers feel they have more potential with? Are you a successful animation creator?
This reminds me of the time I fucked your fat mother (insert family guyish non-sequitur here).
War would be a mess, and not everyone wants it. Talks would be fruitless (or have you forgotten how useless all the talking in the 90s was?). Assassinations would incite patriotisms and go down the war path. So far, the only method that's politically doable is sanctions. It's a slow stranglehold on North Korea, and yes the poor will suffer most (they always do) but this is what happens when you have powerful yet self-absorbed leaders tyrannically ruling millions of people. Societies aren't pretty.
While it shouldn't be considered the ultimate source of knowledge on the web, I think it's ideal in many cases to use as a starting point.
That's true if your need for such knowledge is for just entertainment/casual purposes. For more critical needs, where research time needs to be low and source accountability needs to be high, beginning at a "starting point" is not an option.
Basically, your point is equivalent to: if it doesn't matter to someone whether it's crap or not, wikipedia is good enough to try first.
Opera 9.0 seems to offer a lot of decent additions to Opera's standards pool. How satisfied are you personally with the work the team has done on implementing standards
Translation: I like Opera, please give them your blessings so that I may sleep at night.
What Wikipedia should do is have an editor branch for each article. All editing would occur on the normal branch of an article by everyone (as is done now with non-locked articles). Whenever the article reaches a good stable point, as agreed on by community discussions, then an editor would be invited (if not participating already) to merge a requested version of the normal branch onto the editor branch. Editors would consist of "trusted" users, picked by some sensible criteria.
As far as the user's experience... looking up an article would bring the user to the normal-branch version (as is done now) and a link would be present if an editor version exists (with 1 million plus articles most won't have an editor version for a while). Maybe the user can specify the branch type when searching.
The main idea here is that good stable copies of an article would be archived seperately from the normal(editable) version.
it happened in 2001 to a US spy plane over an un-declared enemy (China, and that's a topic in itself).
This is offtopic, although a more interesting topic than "wiping data", but the plane itself was over international waters and never over China's territory.
Also, since when does spying require a declaration of war? The whole point of spying is to aid in deciding-the-need-for or course-of preemptive actions. Given the Chinese government's penchant for secrecy and censorship, it seems fair to want to keep an eye on them. The same point can be made about spying on any other country... everyone knowing what everyone else is doing has a stabalizing affect. All bad decisions are made in fear, which brought on by ignorance, and governments, whose decisions affect millions, need all the tools possible to make correctly informed decisions.
sorry Al, I think you're talented and love your music, but that's supply and demand, man. If iTunes means a fairer price for all involved, then I'd ask you to take it in stride.
Typical "insightful" poster not knowing what they're talking about. Wierd Al already takes it in stride, as his original comments on his website indicates...
I am extremely grateful for your support, no matter which format you choose to legally obtain my music in, so you should do whatever makes the most sense for you personally.
a huge sample of 900+ *peer reviewed* papers about climate change, 0 contested that it was occuring or that it was a result of humans

Any clown can wave around X amount of papers, but without an overall context it's statistically meaningless...and, at most, it proves that at least X papers were written to support your premise.
Normal people make a meeting... Or if failing that they write the grievance down and hand deliver it. They don't make a run at the guy, and try and get it words and then act like a victim when it doesn't work.

I would also say why complain considering/. provides a great free service, but then you say you're subscriber... which begs the question, aren't there better things you could be doing with your money? It strikes me as kind of sad that you'd value being the first to see a story as worth more than an act of charity, like donating to the poor or taking an ugly out.
If they let go too many programmers, the competition may reap a windfall....assuming those were valuable programmers. My guess is that just-as-skilled programmers as those let off by Sun can be outsourced from India for cheaper.
From a marketing standpoint, this is the only way Microsoft is going to get a lot of people to buy their new OS.
If Microsoft doesn't want to back-port their DirectX 10 to pre-Vistas and, in essence, make it a selling feature of their Vista then who are you to babble marketing advice?
If game companies choose to develop in DirectX 10, at the risk at loosing customer base, then so be it... its their choice.
With all the crying on/. about freedoms being lost on every other topic, why is that companies are not allowed to have the freedom to steer their poducts as they see fit?
As a consumer, you have the freedom of not supporting Microsoft or game companies or hardware vendors that you don't want to. So buck up cowboy, breath in the fresh air of freedom, and crank up teh tux racer!
Bit by bit, it seems, that America is changing into something quite different than I was taught in school.
It's called growing up and experiencing the real world, warts and all. Your days of nap time and nicely packaged (i.e. simple-to-teach) concepts are behind you, as should be your melodramatic 3rd grade attitude.
Id just like to congratulate Mr. Alex Bendiken on a job well done and that his design was also one of my favorite designs throughout the contest. I cant wait till the design is rolled out onto the live server.
Making a game open source brings more fame to it as more people enjoy mods on your game and your good heart for allowing it to happen, which brings fame to your company.

Think about it: he designed a gaming controller when no one knew what that even was.
Well no shit, of course no one else knew what something was that hadn't been produce yet. What 3rd grade elementary student wrote this summary?

Not only do Synfig [synfig.com]'s capabilities match Moho's, but in some areas I actually prefer it over the latter. Plus, Synfig is absolutely free.
