I consider myself to be in-the-know, and I have tons of problems using Windows.
Your post indicates otherwise. Had you been in-the-know, you would not have had those problems. Those in-the-know know, that retail WinXP is for those outside-the-know, and that a corporate version of WinXP with the latest WGA crack is the way to go. Had you been in-the-know, you would have known that. You know?
Sacrifice was released in 2000, so I don't think preventing installation on a x64 system was high on their list of priorities, seeing as there was no such thing. The blame lies in WinXP64, it has caused nothing but trouble for me which is the reason I reinstalled the 32-bit version as soon as I could. Wait until Vista (or switch to Linux) if you want a real 64-bit OS.
If Microsoft took Apache, then viewed the source and then rewrote it to replace IIS without a clean room method and used their own license, the open source community would go nuts. This is no different. Just because you LIKE the people who are writting the code, that doesn't make it legal or right.
But if they view the source code to figure out how the HTTP works, and then write their IIS replacement, is that really a violation of the GPL? Wouldn't that pretty much mean that viewing any GPL code makes it impossible to write closed source software, i.e. if I have hacked around the Quake 2 source, I am now unable to make a closed source OpenGL engine? That sounds strange, and I must have misunderstood.
I agree, the nation as a whole is politically much different from this site. This site just has a liberal slant, and you'll shout me down for this, but the reality is that the Republicans may have some problems, but the Democrats are just as bad.
If spelling was any indicator of American citizenship, then 99% of the Americans on the internet would be under doubt.;)
But in all seriousness, he could also be a naturalized citizen, originally from England, Canada or whatever, which would not make him any less American.
If you're going back to 1860 to find an exception, then the exception pretty much proves the rule. In general, neither party has complained about elections being stolen. What's changed?
Well, doesn't it? Hoarding causes that money not to participate in the economy. At the same time, the money is still there, so the value of the money that does circulate stays the same. So, in effect, less value is participating in the economy. Isn't that a recession? I'm just asking; I'm not an economist.
If someone hoards a huge amount of money and keeps it out of circulation, then the market adjusts and starts to behave as if the money no longer exists, causing deflation, which is an increase in an individual dollar's purchasing power. Now, inflation and deflation are the opposite of each other, and both have their pros and cons.
Inflation is good at fighting unemployment, as the continual decrease in purchasing power is an effective way of circumventing minimum wage laws. E.g. if the minimum wage is 5 dollars per hour, and there was an inflation of 5% during the following year, then the real wage, i.e. the purchasing power of the 5 dollars have decreased by 5%. Thus employers are now effectively paying 5% less to their employees, even though the amount of dollars paid is the same, and this means that it now becomes profitable to employ people for less productive work, resulting in an decrease of unemployment. The downside of inflation is the reduction in PP, and the higher demands on ROI. If inflation is 5% a particular year, and a company's profits grow only 3% that year, then the real profit of the company has decreased. This also works on a individual level, i.e. I have 5000$ today, wait a year, and then I have lost 5% of my wealth, even though the amount of dollars I have is unchanged. What this results in is that any investment that has a ROI that is less than inflation, is actually making you poorer. No need to wonder why stockholders/owners/investors demand ever-increasing profits from corporations, inflation is the culprit.
Deflation is pretty much the exact opposite. If there's a deflation of 5%, then even investments with a negative ROI are profitable as long as deflation is higher. This makes having money lying on a bank account a good investment, as you'll be able to buy more stuff with that money after a year. Of course this also increases unemployment, at least unless the minimum wages are decreased at the same rate as deflation.
Another bad/good side of inflation/deflation (depending on if you have debt or have borrowed money to others) is that as the PP of a dollar increases, the real size of a debt also increases, which is bad for those who have debt. Again the opposite is true.
IANA(K)E, which could be seen as a good thing, depending on which school you follow.:)
Interesting jump of conclusion. I certainly never said that liberals aren't corrupt. You should perhaps get that knee checked, it shouldn't jerk randomly at other people.
I think it's the exact opposite, selling as much oil as possible makes more sense as there's a lot of projects around the world to get rid of oil-dependence. If you sit on your oil for too long, no one will want to buy it sooner or later.
FTA: Working inside a custom-made operating block, three surgeons, backed by two anaesthetists and a team of army parachutists, will remove a fatty tumour from the forearm of an intrepid volunteer over the course of a three-hour flight.
I don't really see the risk. He'll probably be in less danger, as the operation isn't performed in a hospital, so no need to be worried of getting an infection resistant to antibiotics from a hospital strain of bacteria. I think the biggest risk comes from the possibility of a plane crash, but I guess that's what the parachutists are for. The operation is so minor that one can almost perform it on oneself. Maybe it's illegal in the US, or something like that, but I really don't see how it's unethical. I could be wrong, maybe the Hippocrates oath states that "you must not perform operations in suboptimal conditions on willing volunteers", but I suspect not.
Indeed, and to make things worse, all four of them were displayed simultaneously. This caused me high levels of mental anxiety as I was unable to decipher what I'm supposed to think of TFA, so I tagged it fudge.
I have the same problem, my internets often get delivered to the wrong address. One time my neighbour told me that he got penis-enlargement pills in his internets, I was too embarrased to tell him I had ordered them.:/

Great incentive to shoot your favorite artist!
Also a good way to make sure your favorite artist never releases any new material. Oops...

They're also useful against American citizens.
For some reason they refuse to work on my computer as well, and I'm running XP. I even tried with iexplore and no luck. Maybe it requires Linux? :P

I think it can be summed up by one word: Diebold.

It's sad, really... their people are full of potential, but their gov't is pretty scary.
:P
Doesn't that apply to the US as well?
Replace 'voters' with 'Diebold' and I'd say you're on to something.
It was unintentional. The american two-party system is a sham, and the two parties are just two sides of the same coin.
:)
Happy now?

Aha! You have to eat the yoghurt before opening the container, thus avoiding the problem of splatter on your glasses! Squiffy, that's genious!

Because the conservatives are corrupt. I thought that was self-evident?
