Why is it that a certain segment of the gun-owning populace immediately jumps to the conclusion that there's some grand-scale movement to try to completely ban guns every time limitations on gun ownership are brought up?
A death (of our rights to own firearms) by a thousand cuts is still a death...
Put another way. Take a personal liberty away in one swoop and people will complain. Slowly erode it over a period of decades and the 'shortsighted' among us will say "it is just a little cut, get over it". Then you wake up one day and realize that it is all gone and wonder to yourself how you got there.

I'm surprised (on some level) that a soldier listening to the station didn't call to say it was a bad idea. Having been stationed at Fort Sill during the summer months we were reminded of this lesson each day. We were under strict control about our water intake during category-5 heat. Nonetheless, this is a sad situation that was completely preventable.
The question here isn't whether we want to support those features or if we understand that web developers want them (we do), but simply prioritization. We focused on web developers' real world problems.
Huh....Real world problems you say? I think that I have to write CSS for several browsers a real world problem.
Makes me wonder what world he lives in. Those responses sound like nails on a chalkboard to me.
Google Pack will let you customize which programs are downloaded. The "Add or Remove" software link is at the very bottom-right under the "Download Google Pack" button. From there, you should be able to remove Norton or any other package you want to. I had no idea this existed. Thanks for sharing it, although I'm sure your intent was different.
I realize there is tons of software out there for Windows, but *nix systems seem to have so much more that they have to resort to unique naming schemes to differentiate their products. You can only make so many iterations of the words "Media", "Writer", "Player", "Office", etc. Can it make things difficult for consumers? Sure, but I think it's a necessary evil.
I've had a lot of success over the last 3 years developing in Visual FoxPro and West Wind Web Connection. I've created large web apps for everyone from Real Estate to Medical Clinics to Publishing. It allows me to have multiple apps running on the same server and scales very well. I've used my share of php/mysql, but this has been my dominate language for the last year or so.

The only reason I remember it so well was that I was 12 and it scared the hell out of me.

Mr. Gates, is that you? Aren't you busy taking our school district superintendent?
Did you mean: Soldier?

3dMark scores seem irrelevant when you throw out a number like that. Yikes.
P.S.: Anyone else see the humor in that this "Ask Slashdot" was posted right after the "Vista doesn't need Anti-virus" story?
