And the poster was talking about Explorer resembling IE7, not about using IE7 as a web browser. Not to be an ass, but try actually reading the posts of people who respond to you - especially if you are going to respond back to them.
Not quite. There should be some idea of the cost, for they have video. To use bad car analogies, it would be more like looking at a single make/model. For example, a new Ford Mustang can range from $17,000 to $45,000. Or, to be closer to what is used here, a Piper Cub ranges from $20,000 to $60,000. Still only a 3x difference, nothing like the 33x gap in the article summary.
You made a horrible assumption. I did not cheer the war. I was very against the war. I still dislike the war, but I realize the the lives of many, many Iraqis are on the line, and the best course of action is not an immediate pull-out. I have lost friends and family in the war, and frankly it is hard for me to not explode into obscenities and keep my cool during this response. Second of all, not all neocons are evil. While I do not agree with neocons, I do think there are neocons such as Robert Kagan that I don't regard as evil (through ignorance or will). And in closing, about your Ledeen quote, the U.S. has been in a position to do as that quote suggest for less than 50 years, and I would like to see the examples for each decade. In closing: Ron Paul for 2008.
You obviously don't know shit about the situation currently in Iraq. Maybe a year ago we could have left and most if Iraq would be happy, but if the United States were to pull out now (and it would take about 2 years to pull out without recklessly endangering U.S. troops and workers stationed there) we would be faced with one of the worst humanitarian crisis the world has seen to date. Forget about the Sunni vs. Shia issues, and realize all thoughout Iraq there are Tribes very close to each other that want to wipe each other out. If the U.S. pulled out there would be slaughter all over Iraq, and it is doubtful Iraq's neighbors would be willing or able to deal with the refugee flood (emphasis on the willing, Iran and Turkey are both fairly hostile to Iraqis).
I work for a company that supplies materials to companies with government contracts. One of the requirements that government contracts have is that all material is traceable (we have to trace every place its been and for how long since leaving the plant it was created in) and certifiable (we must have the sheets from the plant stating the exact specifications of material). In addition material must be 100% processed in the United States (with some material that part can be a challenge, and adds quite a bit of expense). Certification and traceability adds expense, and it also adds paperwork (which in turn also creates more expense). Add to this that any material we do processing on has to go through additional checks and paper work, causing it to take three times as much time for workers to complete as material that does not require certification. In order for us to stay profitable while meeting government requirements it causes us to charge much higher rates (the government isn't alone in this, some contractors also require certification due to insurance clauses or quality guarantees).
Check out Windows For Legacy PCs (WinFLP). They don;t offer it through retail, but if you can get it through your business or are willing to use the pirate networks I think it is by far the best version of Windows to date (you can even install it without Internet Explorer).
I remember SimCity on the Amiga, and accoring to Wikipedia its been on OS/2, MacOS, SNES, Acorn, BBC Micro, GBA, Linux, Playstation, ZX Spectrum, and many more.
At the same time baking isn't that precise - there is quite a lot of room for wiggle. This is most noticeable when it comes to heat, as VERY few ovens give you the ability to control the temperature to a single degree, let alone a fraction of one. Also noticeable in that you don't have to plug your heat and time into a formula to account for difference in air density (usually due to distance from sea-level). With that being said, it is a lot more complicated to make a good flavored bread that turns out well than it is to make pasta sauce.
The GGP simply stated Facebook was number one. He didn't specify in what regard. Saying something is number one is often used to describe quality in America.
Just because Ford may sell more cars than any other auto maker in the world does not make them the best, and it most certainly doesn't mean Ferrari should submit to standards that may hurt their performance edge.
I burned a CD through the finder for the first time the other day too, but I didn't find it any harder than in XP (I don't know how much they switched it in Vista). You can also use the "Create New Burn Folder" from Finder, which is a neat tool. But again I think the Dock is most useful if treated as a launcher and a way to get information at a quick glance. Ever since getting expose-like function (which I first encountered on Ubuntu) I have changed my work habits so I rarely, if ever, minimize a window. It is so much easier to use expose (when I used Beryl it even a button for all windows on all desktops and one for all windows on this desktop, in addition the button for all windows of this one application). I imagine that will be one thing I will think Ubuntu still does better than leopard, but I'm going to save that judgement until I finally have some time to play with Spaces.
One, that sentence made no sense. I assume you mean applications that don't use the keyboard (as you can navigate expose and alt+tab with the keyboard alone). Two, you can set expose to a mouse button, so even if you are only using the mouse you can navigate expose with ease (unless your using a puck mouse, in which case I may have to question your sanity). (By the way, the mighty mouse default setup has expose set to the side sensors).
I think they are currently laying the groundwork for it, and it will be instead of or immediately after 10.6. I think OS-11 will be when we see Quartz GL, resolution independence, ZFS, and much more enabled by default, in addition to being completely 64-bit. I think this will be after LLVM has reached maturity. But then again, OS-X may live on for a decade to come due to the marketing fondness of the big "X".
I will give you that the dock is a horrible application switcher, but who uses it as an application switcher when you have alt+tab and expose? (By the way, in OX-X you can use the mouse in the alt+tab menu). I personally like the dock a lot for iChat, e-mail, and newsfeed information. For an application launcher I use Quicksilver, but I hear the speed of spotlight in leopard has made Quicksilver pretty much obsolete. I have never found Finder broken, and don't quite get exactly what is broken when people try to explain it to me, but I find it just as useful and easy to navigate as explorer in XP.
This guys system was so his parents could moniter his speed. Even if you hacked it to report the wrong speed, you still have to deal with how you got between points it reported in the such short between the updates. This isn't your average Garman or Tomtom, this is a system designed for other people to track and monitor the driver.
But it does backup your computer. You can examine the disk from other Macs, and the first backup it makes is of your entire system so it can do a complete system restore if need be.
The King James version of the bible is only under copyright in the UK, due to its copyright being owned by the crown. In the U.S. it is under no restrictions. As for the claim the William Shakespere had anything to do with it, that is completely new to me. I'll admit it has been a while, but last time I looked into the issue I thought the translating committee largely used Tyndale's translation. I seem to recall an extremely large amount of verses being identical or extremely similar to Tyndale's work.
I believe this behavior is done for two reasons. One: so it can edit pictures non-destructively (as in none of your original data is destroyed, very important to those of us who might use the same picture multiple times and edit it differently for different occasions). Two: to avoid the issue of loss of data through compression. Almost any slashdotter can tell you of the ability of jpeg to destroy pictures after repeated compression.
I think that since all the students are part of the same society that you can, to some degree, regard them as a blanket case. As to the idea that time dressing in a suit takes time away from grading or preparation, I would ask than would you prefer a professor to not shower or dress at all, as both take time away from his work? I have never heard of someone being disrespected by someone wearing a suit, I think that is pure nonsense. As for judging that he wears the suit for himself, without personally knowing the person, I would say you are judging another by how you would act. Just because you would only wear a suit for yourself does not mean someone else has the same views and reasons.
Does it really take energy to dress in a suit? An amount that would actually lessen his teaching ability? Seriously? Since you brought it up I will flesh out a little more. The professor in question is a University Distinguished Professor in the biology/agricultural science department. In addition to his work in the lab and the agricultural field (literally and figuratively) he has also been a speaker and leader at teaching conferences around the world. This is a man who no longer has to work (has been eligible and capable of retirement for over a decade) that insists on teaching entry-level undergraduate classes he doesn't have to teach, and who has been recognized as an authority in the fields of education and plant and soil sciences. I've heard criticism of him, but not teaching thoroughly is one thing I've never heard regarding him.
I wouldn't say it is quality if clothing that shows respect as much as kind of clothing. If a speaker had on a $200 t-shirt of the highest quality I would still feel he wasn't concerned with respect. I had a professor that wore a suit to every class he taught, and explained he did so for the same reason he wears a suit when meeting with the University President: to show respect to those who he is addressing. I don't think it matters if it is a K-Mart, Armani, or custom tailored, as much as it matters that you showed effort to dress up. I wonder if people would think his choice in attire would be appropriate for a wedding or a funeral.
The other thing that shocks me that people haven't commented on yet is that maybe Facebook is looking long term. It doesn't seem to be going away anytime soon, and appears to still be growing. Sure there are only 6 billion people now, but in 100 years those 6 billion people will be replaced.

Well you could... but it would take a lot more work and you would be a lot creepier.
Crap, I think this comment just put me on a watchlist somewhere.

This should have been posted by Bad Analogy Guy. In fact, I'm kind of surprised he hasn't responded in anger for you taking over his posting duties.
