Given the moon hoax, why should we trust NASA on this one?
NASA is under enormous pressure to perform well; their budget depends on it. With all their screw-ups lately, they can't afford (literally) to mess up again. But they did. So what do they do? They make up fancy-schmancy alchemy that magically removes the blur in their photos. Of course the public and politicians will buy it, anyone who took an elementary optics class knows this is impossible. 'Nough said.
Somehow it seems unlikely the same rules will be applied to developing companies and poorer individuals in the United States.
Typical/. hypocrisy.
Would the beloved Apple give heavy discounts to poor people?
Even worse, I thought the prevailing/. opinion was that Microsoft sucks and that everyone should run the superior Linux. But all of a sudden, Microsoft should be giving poor people their software, because... it's so great?? Sounds to me like another reason to use open source.

Uh... I guess this guy had mammaries on the mind when he wrote this review. Personally, I've never had a problem distinguishing adjacent dark boobs from one another. To each his own!
What does finger dexterity have to do with anything? Unless you're planning on having calculator races... Fun, but I haven't done that in years, not since I gave up my TI-92 for a HP48G. Girls used to love my mad skillz!
Actually, the parent post was alluding to the scene in Revenge of the Sith where the Emperor orders the clone army commanders to 'execute order 66', i.e. kill all the Jedi. It was not a homosexual reference. Plus, I'm pretty sure that Steve Jobs isn't gay.

Does any know what the status of the non-free apps like Acrobat and Flash are? I don't know of any x86-64 versions at the moment.
So I'm kinda new here... what's BeOS, and does it run Linux?
Ummmm...
Google already does understand. I key a search and it produces the relavent results. It understands quite nicely.
