Yes, I think we should only use the original greek and hebrew text because anyone who can't read those languages fluently obviously isn't intelligent enough to have any useful ideas about God, they should shut up and leave determining God's will to those of us who are 'enlightened'. Let's not argue about which original well use because there are several discrepencies between the copies that exist today.
Oh yeah, and St. Jerome was actually the first guy to do the whole vernacular scripture thing. He compiled the Vulgate (i.e. vulgar or common) which was meant to be readable for the common people (and was until Christianity spread beyond the Roman Empire)
What happends when a country runs out robots. Do you think they will passively stand by and get taken over! I don't see how robots could bee a good thing in war and they will probably just lead to more collatoral damages.
I think there's no reason for anyone to use anything but firefox
I know Slashdot MS is teh evil and Mozilla will sit next to God Himself in heaven, but this is soooooo wrong. The whole point of Hypertext Markup on the internet is to be platform agnostic. CSS was designed so that it could be used by Free browsers and propretary browsers (and non-CSS browsers and text-browsers and screen readers and web bots like Google and just about anything else that can parse 's).
I understand (and sympathize) with your frusuration about web applications, because many javascript implementations are garbage and support for DOM is still in it's infancy, but the web is first and formost a platform for disseminating information, not building applications.
As far as I can tell, this is just another 'gold-plating' feature - it looks cool on the outside, but really doesn't do much for anything in real life. The titanium cover *might* protect the lcd screen if it fell in such-and-such a manner but it's really only there because the word 'Titanium' sounds cool.
I'm not familiar with Macs so I don't know how well they're protected, but I have a Twinhead computer that has aluminum casing and several other nice features that really help maintain longevity when your are very mobile and use your computer 12+ hours a day.
There might be some hope on the horizon with low-rights IE7. It might be that it really does manage to remove the impact of the bugs, which is really the best case scenario as things stand.
You can do this in linux. Natively. Just make yourself a different user with no rights to do certain things. Try that in Windows and see if it works for you. As to the, "Microsoft will solve everything in the end" mentality, well, I can't really argue with that.
You can do the same thing in windows as well, just create a user 'nobody' (with as few permissions as needed) and then instead of runnig firefox.exe use
You'll have to type in nobody's password though (if he has one) and you (obviously) won't be able to access the same profile that you use in your regular account, but you can just copy the stuff over and you should be fine.
Exactly, although Flash and Sparkle might compete I don't think either of them will be able to match up to SVG. Sparkle won't even be around until sometime next year (and it will quite likely be delayed). When it is available, the number of people who will be able to use it will be fairly small. If the adoption rate for Longhorn is similar to the one for windows XP, in 2010 this technology *might* be sensible for widespread adoption - that's a long time.
In the [non-computer] diseases (particularly epidemics) work the same way. The most deadly ones are usually quite infamous when they attack and kill many people, but they usually die off into obsurity rather quickly.
Take for example the common cold, which has stayed with us for many years, but is hardly as deadly as it used to be.
I'd love to say that the new firefox will fix you flash front end, but it probably won't. The issues that you have with flash are probably Macromedia's fault, and there's not much of a way that Mozilla could test it because it's all proprietary code. You'd better wait for GPLFlash if you want them to be able to do anything about it.
While I'm not is support for such a non-standard implementation unless it's absolutely nessisary, there is a big difference between being firefox only and safari. Firefox is cross-platform, it works on mac, linux, and most importantly windows. It's a lot easier for people to do a free 5mb download than get a whole new computer.
I agree that the first is more readable to the beginners, but I (personally) would find the second line a lot easier a quicker to read (and I am hardly an experienced programer).
I don't buy the arguement that we should code so that newbies can read it easier. There's a reason programers don't use BASIC anymore.
It certainly has no truth in the physical world, and hardly in the electronic world either.
IANAL, but I don't think that's the case in the physical world. If I own a house with a yard, and I keep that yard open and do not put up any signs warning trespasers, than they are not breaking the law by trespassing (however, if I as them to leave, then they have to of course).
In fact, if I have a policy of letting people on my yard (a consistently open network), than *I am (partially) liable for any damages*. In the case of an open network, if am testing viri on my network, and it is open, and someone connects and is infected *I would be liable*. It would also work the other way to an extent. If someone uses my open network to crack into another computer, I could be liable, particularly if it happens more than once.
Remember, IANAL, I'm just an amature, but I think this is as good an analogy as any.
Sex is a very natural thing. It's why were all around. Pronograpy OTOH is a buch of guys drueling over naked women. In my opinion it's similar to going to the zoo and watching the animals, except that zoo animals at least have some sense of dignity.
Saying that Linux is a form of Unix is like saying that the tap water in my glass is a form of Evian (or Perrier)
Actually it would be more like calling the 'facial tissue' in my hand, Kleenex. It's one of those things at is both a trademark and a generalized term. Just cause I ask for a kleenex doesn't mean that I care wether it's a Kleenex(R) or not.

With regards to the discussion, I couldn't care less about Marketers, but saying cookies are bad because of companies like doubleclick, is like saying images are bad, because of animated gifs. Cookies have lots of really useful applications, when you want to persistant states with out requiring regristration (which I hate).
It used to be that sites were not really customizable. Those that were, were like what netscape.com is right now, and any change required page reloads and were generally undesirable. With the advancement of a standard DOM (pretty much everyone supports level 1), you can now do lot's of really cool stuff - allowing users to change things around at light speed, making it practical and not just a bloated nuciance. The JS/UIX term is a great example of this: http://www.masswerk.at/jsuix/
However, if you want to create something that last more than just one brower session, and works well on a per user basis (particularly for people on lan's), the only real way is to use cookies. Of course you don't store any more information in there than needed.
Well, call a baby bell and we're almost there, ALMOST.
Ah yes, that has to be one of the most heinous advances in technology. I tried phoning ma bell and I couldn't get anywhere ('please restate your question'), I guess it doesn't like my accent or something. They used the same thing at my school too. Here's a bit of help for fellow viticms.
There are plenty of web programmers who have found clever ways to do popup DHTML menus (which is all that this is)
Actually it's not really DHTML because there is no javascript. It relies completely on CSS, which is why it doesn't work in IE. While it doesn't work for 80% of the market, it does degrade very nicely for any standards compliant browsers whether or not they support javascript / css. I belive it would possible to hack support in with a.htc file served to IE.

I don't blame them though

certainly not,
