The design of the fan and canopy, which is capable of flying a car, is based on a smaller fan and canopy which was capable of allowing a person to 'fly'.

JSON isn't inherently insecure, it's just a method of delimiting data. Running JSON through an eval is insecure, but there are drafts for safer implementations (stringify and parse, as well as a native JSON type in JavaScript iirc). That said, always verify your data.
That's where the 18-year old kid is at fault. He showed a lack of hacker ethics. Good hackers may discover an exploit, but they don't do harm.
Perhaps, but it's likely because this kid did a little harm that he's captured the attention of so many people. It adds a healthy dose of sensationalism to the story which convinces people to treat security seriously better than some hypothetical 'it could have been really bad if..' would"
My second point made it clear that I understood welfare wasn't permanent. A minimum wage job could entrap a person in a vicious cycle of survival, while welfare gives a person an opportunity to better themselves and seek more empowering employment opportunities.
My final point, which you chose to quote, concerns the intentions/motivations of certain people who use the service. If even 0.1% of welfare users are drunken bums who can't be bothered to improve themselves (and I've known a few so I suspect it's at least 0.1%) then it stands that lots of people are abusing it.
I'm familiar with that point of view; it assumes that everyone is made equal, and some of us due to good choices succeed, while others due to bad choices or selfish lazy choices fall back on social safety nets. Having worked for a number of years in an institution for mentally handicap persons I can say that's flatly not how the world works. A lot of people do not have the intellect, physical, or social ability to contribute to society in a meaningful way. A lot of people do not even have the capacity to think beyond the moment. The institutions have been downsizing for years, and it is my experience that most of the individuals who are released after a couple years end up being supported by the prison system after being on welfare/disability for awhile and hurting some innocent people in the mean time.
Secondly, while a minimum wage job may be more productive than welfare in the short term, the hours which one has to put into a minimum wage job to support themselves are inhibitory to acting as a member of the community and bettering oneself.
There are certainly people - lots of them, who abuse the welfare system. But generalization is not the answer in this case - and cut throat utilitarianism doesn't lead to, what I considered, much of a utopia.
I'm going to call FUD on the whole article. IE 8 RC1 isn't due until Q1 2009, Microsoft reinforced this target late in November. Also Microsoft usually announces releases on the IE team blog http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/ but there was no mention of this. Finally, I am unable to find a link anywhere - in the article, from MS, anywhere.
I used it, and tried to like it, but just couldn't feel at home. The lates releases are awesome, and I believe that this is a real desktop for the future. A few gripes I had included buggy plasmoid implementation, and the huge and chunky panel (taskbar.) I am fond of tiny taskbars, and why in KDE4 I cannot make it slimmer as in gnome, kde3 and xfce I do not know. The built-in compositing effects (transparency is cool...) is nice, but I generally do without. In fact, KDE4 and Vista Aero feels TOO similar to me, as if the two teams had a bet among each other who could create the best interface when measured along some very strict guidelines.
So there you have it, my list of favourite desktop environments.
I've been using KDE 4 as my desktop environment of choice for a couple months now. In KDE 4.1 the 'huge chuncky panel' can be set to any desirable size - though admittedly the process for resizing and placing it still needs some work. The 4.2 beta just released adds auto-hide as well.
A lot of people used early versions of KDE 4.0 and gave up on it, but it is rapidly evolving into something much more usable, and very pretty.
How about synthesizers? Say, a class full of FM synths and one kid with an analog synth. They all look pretty similar, the keyboard portion is exactly the same, and you can immediately play the same tune on either instrument, but the way you go about generating and modifying the sounds is completely different.
So what you're saying that an FM synth and an analog synth are kinda like Windows and Linux...
No, it's like correctly predicting that you'll get stabbed 17 minutes after entering the ghetto, by 6 gang members dressed in red.
Not at all. It's much more like guessing that you will be stabbed 6.8 minutes after entering a ghetto by 8-9 gang members dressed in red, then actually being stabbed after 17 minutes by 6 gang members wearing pink.

But if the app is available on both system (eg. Firefox) then boot time is the determining factor.
My wife now boots into Ubuntu more often than Win XP on her dual boot desktop simply because it's faster.
She still boots into windows to work with her photos though.
I switched to Gentoo a couple years ago, but I'm pretty sure when I was using Ubuntu I could remove just about anything.
Arn't these economic conditions indicative that 'established industry' isn't feasible.

Almost like search.yahoo.com?
A strange place to draw the line. HTML 5 is a draft recommendation not a standard, and some parts of it are more mature than others.
Even CSS 2.1 is a 'Candidate Recommendation' and if I haven't missed anything, no browsers are 100% compliant.
So where do you draw the line? HTML 4.01 and CSS 1 are w3c recommendations, but most web developers wouldn't be happy with that.
CSS Snapshot 2007 (http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-css-beijing-20080516/) seems like a good place to start, but it's just a working draft too.

No, JSON is a notation for an 'Object' in Javascript. The JSON Object is new.
See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc836458(VS.85).aspx
There are other sources because this wasn't a MS invention but I'm having a hard time finding them at the moment.

Personally I spread Linux to increase the overall happiness in the lives of people I care about. People are by nature altruistic. [citation needed]
I feel I have been misunderstood.

My wife is completely addicted to KNetWalk, some of the others are pretty good as well and appeal to a variety of ages.
6. KDE4.
Yep, bottom of my list.

That is now one of my favorite quotes. You should write a book so it would be easier to quote you.
