Microsoft and it's employees *are* the community. Believe it or not, real live people (often citizens) work at corporations. Microsoft employees paid the taxes that will fund the overpass. (Actually, I think the supposed overpass has already existed for about 10 years.) And don't worry about the other projects in the state of Washington that *need* it more. They wouldn't get funded anyway no matter what. They haven't yet, and there's been plenty of money in the state budget for a long time now.
CPAN doesn't need Apple's help to break. Every third time I install a package it breaks my whole install. Then occasionally, when I try and fail to install a package manually, it fixes everything automagically and becomes self aware. Over night, while tapping into an alternate power source (like on Superman 3) it manages to screw itself up again with an upgrade Bundle::CPAN.
That chart looks exactly like a "wind rose" found in pilot books for at least 100 years before that. It was a common statistical diagram on charts used by sailors to show the odds of a wind blowing from each compass point at a certain time of year.
The oil drillers actually believe in science, they have to, to find the oil, to build the rigs, and to convert it to gasoline to run in vehicles that use combustion. Completely unlike the environmentalists with their superstition and ignorance-based mythologies and hysteria induction strategies for manipulating people's emotions and fears into giving them money.
Your perception clearly shows how influenced you are by the media bias. In fact, Obama's speeches throughout the campaign *always* featured attacks on McCain, Palin, Bush, and Republicans. McCain, in his bumbling attempt at supposed superiority rarely mentioned his opponent except to group him with others in Congress (including Republicans) in his tired "insult to drunken sailors" rant.
It makes defect *discovery* drop by 95% for sure. Because everyone is worried about code coverage, writing meaningless unit tests for getters that shouldn't be there in the first place, but got added because your pattern nazi in the overlong code review insisted it and everyone else just wanted to go to lunch.
Or maybe it's because white labcoats are cheaper than celebrities. People know that getting someone in a labcoat with a clipboard (and even glasses) or someone who graduated from Harvard to endorse your product or promote your legislation is easy. Wearing a labcoat or graduating from Harvard doesn't make a person smarter or better than anyone else.
But Harrison Ford and Britney Spears have at least accomplished something, even if it's unrelated to the topic at hand. And being celebrities, they have less incentive to lie to you and damage their name.
That doesn't explain the foolish behavior, beliefs, and endorsements by celebrities from Charlie Sheen to Charlton Heston. The simple explantion for that is that celebrities are mostly morons.
3) It provide more incentive to keep the in-house IT teams going.
If someone can use a web interface or Ruby API to do your full time job in a few minutes, it's probably time you learn new skills. It sucked for manufacturing too, but when a million dollar Japanese robot can do your job better (and cheaper), I'm buying the robot. When a practically free web service can do your job better and cheaper, same thing.
I use fastmail too. And I really like their interface, especially the 1 click sort. Maybe tags would be nice. The one thing I don't like about the UI is that clicking on sender goes to reply. It's rare that you'd want to reply before reading, and with a low resolution monitor (or narrow window) you have to scroll horizontal to actually view the message. Ability to click on the left side of the screen to read a message would be nice.

We're just saying the syntax should be, you know, visible.
What about old Jewish people? Should the be allowed to retire? Or should we keep them in the salt mines and munititions factories until the day they die. Or do you have another *solution* for all the Neocons destroying our blessed fatherland?
I do notice a difference... between your description and reality. When was the last time someone who made a breakthrough in Science was treated as a heretic? There was Galileo, but what actually happened to him? He was never excommunicated. There was a house arrest (that wasn't enforced or enforceable -- the church didn't control the state then either.) His ideas weren't banned, but his publications were, which meant that they weren't published by church owned presses -- they obviously still disseminated throughout Europe during his lifetime.) As the one real act against him, his body was (initially) denied internment at the family tomb on Church grounds. So do you have any other examples of the burning of scientists?
Now let's talk about the Nobel prize? Any examples of old theories being shattered? When was the last time one was awarded for a major scientific breakthrough? Nowadays their awarded for "studies" not even "discoveries or inventions".

what makes you think it's not still just a prank?
Quoting post-wash-up lyrics from a long since irrelevant band is symbolic.

Then your non-vote was counted for whatever party rules the state you're in.
Obama was easily an 11 to most liberals, and McCain was never more than a 5 to most conservatives.
not for Perl.
Where? You mean like Norway?

For me, it's "do I have to fsck her all the time?"
A Linux article on Slashdot!?

Those are just the sort of mad-lib options a weak-minded ideologue would present.

If you keep a copy of all public DNS records in the world on 10 year old hardware with SQLite, it shouldn't be a problem.
people used to buy software on disks. Because software ran on disks. Now software runs on servers. Why not buy software on servers?

Name a more vocal alarmist than Al Gore. Or name the most vocal alarmist who isn't directly selling "carbon offset certificates" or trying to?
