Not only is it dumbing down, but certainly here in the UK it's getting sloppy too, particularly in areas like basic grammer. Stadiums instead of stadia is one common (and annoying) example.
Surely the choice between a Latin (I'm guessing) plural and an English one is just a choice to use a particular writing style. I bet you don't like split infinitives either.
Exactly. We make this loss of life to benefit judgement all the time. We sent troops overseas, knowing some will die but judging it a worthwhile sacrifice.
They're lawyers. They'd have the gall to shoot your mother, have sexual intercourse with her corpse, chop off her ears and send them to you along with an invoice for services rendered.
It appears that a member of your legal team has found their way into the server room and has damaged your service for viewers outside the United States. Might I suggest that you find the individual responsible and have them reassigned to a job role where they will not be able to cause further harm.
A good trick is to turn it down a bit lower than you need, keep it there for a minute and then turn it up half a notch. Makes the lower volume seem louder.
You wouldn't need that call in the first place. It says "equivalent layer of protection", "no protection" would be equivalent to almost all systems in current use.

For the most part, the only differences between c# and vb.net are syntax. Begin...End, For...Next control structures rather than brackets is the biggest difference.
So they've kept the worst part of the language. I remember in school the number of times I had to look at the help files just to close a loop. For..next makes some sense but While...Wend? What does wend even mean?
Having others able to act on your behalf without using your login simplifies the process of proving that you did/didn't actually do something. The information about who logged in and did what on whose behalf can easily be logged. If, on the other hand, you have a system where your login has to be used to act on your behalf then the logs can only show your username no matter who actually used your account.
The article isn't very clear about which export restrictions users had to follow; if it required users to follow the export laws of their own country them it was unnecessary. However if it said that user had to obey the export laws of a specific country (say the US or wherever SGI is based) then that would make more sense.
Are they planning to keep the free codecs (ubuntu restricted extras etc.) available? I'm not in America and I guess that a lot of people who are aren't going to be bothered about how legal the free codecs are anyway.
Yet most of the projectors I've encountered have some kind of speaker systems, naturally with the requisite preamp and power amp stages. Can somebody here tell me why?
It's so you can put a film on while you figure out the soundsystem.
The evidence available suggests that if there is a God then he/she/it is either a vindictive bastard or a bit of a retard. Going by the usual books on the subject I'd guess that it isn't stupidity.
Using a modern codec would probably break compatibility with most of their customers' systems. Windows media player doesn't even seem to come with dvd support so anything decent isn't going to work.

Who is this 'we'?
I thought I saw several foods in that list. I really need to relearn some Spanish.
Can you recommend anywhere with a sane government? I'm not in a position to move right now but getting citizenship somewhere might be an option.

How much?
They don't want the money. They just think those shows are too embarrassing.

Pound?? WTF? Pound looks like this: £.
Strange, I've always called the # symbol a hash but I have no idea where I got it from.
Top Gear isn't about cars, they're just used to give the presenters something to argue about.

As a Brit I'm tempted to ask what happened in 1929? but most of the things I can think of that would get called laying an egg are pretty horrific.
Just realised that there are several mistakes in my last post. Sorry about that. Slashdot just isn't as good without beer.

VLC comes with the proper codecs which have been freely available for years.

I recently did jury duty (in Britain), they have oaths and books for all major religions as well as a non-religious oath.

It's not comparable to the US system where Democrats have a monopoly on the right and Republicans on the far right.
