If your neighbor's son had been pranking millions of doorbells every day for several years, I think years in jail would be entirely valid. Or one spank per doorbell if you're a fan of corporal punishment.
There is one significant reason to use the standalones instead of Moz suite: if you load a boggy or crashy page in Firefox, you can switch to Thunderbird and check your mail while you wait. With Mozilla, problems in one half will take down the other. If you want this fixed, please join bug 115903:
Virginia Tech paid Apple's standard educational price, which is about a 10% discount on retail (and tax exempt). The only special break from Apple was that VTech got the first 1000 G5 towers off the assembly line, before other customers and stores.
Except for the peace talks, Carter's presidential legacy is a big fat heap of failures. He set back the cause of energy conservation (among others) by huge amounts, because if Carter was for it, then it must be a bad thing. Any election reform he proposed wouldn't have stood a chance.
I'll bet you're only counting one class of error: the "hanging chads". Butterfly has the additional problem of misvotes and overvotes.
In Palm Beach County (home of Terry's Butterfly Ballot) there were 32000 errors out of 450000 votes. That's over 7% error rate. Note that typical error rate for non-butterfly punch cards is 4%, whereas optical-scan (aka pencil & bubbles) is well under 2%.
One-Click can only be defined as "innovative" if you accept the notion that taking a simple real-world noun and appending the phrase "on the internet" is a valid form of creative enterprise.
The essential concepts behind One-Click (pre-store the customer's credit information, allow them to purchase from you without hassle, then charge them later) have been in common usage worldwide for decades, if not millennia.
Persistent client interactivity, who would have thought that was possible with cookies? Apparently only the brilliant minds at Amazon (and the dim bulbs at the Patent Office).
Provide free tech support for family members exactly ONCE. Explain what you did and tell them how to maintain it. If they get hosed again after that: GET A MAC.
If she likes the big blue "e", then give it to her. Copy the icon to Firefox, and install IE Skin. I believe there's another XPI that will change the Windows titlebar string, so a casual user would be completely unaware that the browser isn't Explorer.
you would do more to help your candidate win if you did not vote on election day and instead went to a contested state and offered to provide transportation to voters
Do you understand non-monotonicity? The idea that a few people changing their vote from G to R (aka "push-overs") changes the winner from D to G? Does that eensy bit of insanity not bother you?
Among other flaws, IRV also isn't Summable: you can't count the ballots precinct-by-precinct and add it up hierarchically. You can only calculate the winner after you have ALL of the raw data (which is O(n!), BTW) in a single computer. Manual recounts would take MONTHS to collate.
Why is the Green party so fixated on IRV? It's especially bizarre that a 3rd party would intentionally pretend that there are only two choices for a voting system.
Go is such a beautiful game. The rules are simple in the extreme, but Go is exponentially more difficult for a digital computer than chess. After 25 years, the best commercial Go programs are still weaker than 5kyu (okay for an amateur but way below any pro-level player).
Barring unexpected breakthroughs in AI/quantum/parallel computing, computer Go won't threaten human dominance for decades to come.
Is there any reason other than inertia to use uncompressed TIFF? It's just a lossless color bitmap format, which PNG can do even better (lossless, compressed, alpha). Let me repeat: other than inertia, why?
ObMac: I'm still annoyed that Apple removed the ability (after Puma) to save screenshots directly to PNG.
Don't you find it at all problematic that our own pawns in one game become enemy kings in the next? Sooner or later we'll be at war with Allawi (or his successor) in Iraq. This is not a good strategy.
Yes, but here's the important part: Approval Voting doesn't violate Arrow's fairness rules, it violates his initial premise of a fully-ranked numerical "preference order". If you allow the definition to include binary lists, it passes Arrow's criteria (IIA, Pareto, etc) and many others.
Yeah, remove the dictators! Like Musharraf in Pakistan (military coup), and Fahd in Saudi (oppressive oil barons), and Karimov is Uzbekistan (boils prisoners to death), and a dozen other US allies in the war on freedom^H^H^Hterror.
2GB might not be a hard limit. Most older iMacs can actually handle more RAM than their listed maximum, by using higher-density chips than were available at time of release.
2GB really is enough for this iMac. By the time consumers are doing immersive desktop holography (or whatever future app) that requires more RAM, the limiting factor will be the 2-generations-deceased G5 CPU.
HOWEVER, 256MB is a really bad decision that will revive the Apple==slow meme. OS X is a dog with low RAM. The speed difference with 512MB or more is breathtaking.

No, in 2025 copyrights will have been re-extended to 150+ years. Thanks to Sonny Bono and friends, the public domain stopped in 1922.
if I have a character named Ferro Man, who wears an armored suit, am I infringing on Iron Man?
No, you'd be infringing on Ferro Man
if I have an Asian character with claws named "The China Wolf"? Am I infringing [on Wolverine]?
No, but you might be infringing on Lady Deathstrike.
And yes, it is becoming much more difficult to come up with fresh superhero ideas as copyright terms get longer and longer.

I agree with the AC, check the CSS but even if it's valid the interpretation may be contentious.
just wondering, what happens when you run your "new ASP.NET hosted site" through The Validator?

I made strict XHTML/1.0+CSS compliance a critical priority
Which puts you in a different category from 95% of webmasters in the world. Your views of this subject are far from the norm.

Rights-Managed HTML, yet another MS proprietary method to "embrace and extend" a known open standard.
RMH is a subformat of Microsoft's Rights Management System (tm). Yes, that's right, it's called RMS . How's that for doublespeak?

Can't you do both ( step one, step two) like the late Earl Warren ?
Isn't it funny how every election, people claim that this is not the election to vote for a third party?
Except that in 2000, it turned out to be true (at least in NH and FL). Not so funny, I think.
I'm not sure what you're worked up about

IRV is also a bad idea, albeit less bad than FPTP in some respects.

It doesn't. OSX runs ClassicStartup.app, which is a Mac equivalent to WINE. Classic runs OS9, which has 68k emulation, which runs the app.

The USA has a great history of doing just that... School of the Americas, Iran-Contra, Saddam Hussein, Efrain Rios Montt, Manuel Noriega, Augusto Pinochet, Gustavo Alvarez, Roberto D'Aubuisson, Samuel Doe, Apartheid South Africa, Osama Bin Laden. And many others.
