I'm not sure...but how much do you want to bet the gov't will take this info and build some kind of "riot suppression" weapon? They've already got a microwave gun to fry us if we get a little rowdy during a protest...why not just get a light gun to turn all our brains off simultaneously?
... supporting (as the acticle says) 100+ different distros, different kernel versions, different package/install systems, different windowing systems... hell even different text editors.
Well, considering your average end users don't know ANYTHING about Linux/Unix...why would you expect to have to support ANY other distro/configuration than what you deployed?
How stupidly selfish do you have to be to not want more women to be vaccinated against HPV?
People grossly overestimate the link between HPV and Cervical Cancer. Yes there are a few strains that can be prevented, but the long term effects of this vaccine have not yet been proven. Pharma companies are making everything from being fat to having a very common virus a disease now. This proves that not only can they make everything a disease, but they can sell a cure.
some FACTS about HPV
1. HPV is a sexually transmitted disease.
2. HPV is the most common sexually transmitted disease.
3. The overwhelming majority of women with HPV will not develop cervical cancer. Cervical cancer is an extremely rare complication of a common infection.
4. The spontaneous resolution of HPV is common.
5. Most women who test positive for high-risk HPV will not be diagnosed with cervical cancer or a precancerous condition upon further evaluation.
6. The purpose of a Pap smear is to detect HPV-related lesions, including cervical cancer, and their precursors.
I'd say Vista is more like the stripper your brought home from the local strip joint.
Last night, she was wearing lots of makeup, the lights were low, she made you temporarily lose some of your higher brain functions when you watched her gyrate...she marketed herself well.
Not to mention you were drunk.
This morning, you wake up and she's trying to cook you breakfast, but has to ask you permission for everything...and she eventually burns the breakfast. She's sans makeup and looks like her mother on a bad day. Not to mention she has the personality of a fence post. You just wish she'd leave......or at least introduce you to her sexy cousin, Mac (short for Maxine).

"So, do you care about race in videogames? If so, how so?"
No, I don't care about race in VGs. Just like I don't care about race in real life.
If you're a prick, you're a prick. If you're cool, you're cool. If you're a loser, you're a loser. If you're tops, you're tops. If you're trash, you're trash. Race has nothing to do with it. It's common sense.
And I'm not sure if anyone should worry about race in VGs...unless it's blatant stereotyping, like in GTA:San Andreas. Hell, after playing the game, my friend made the joke that it should be called "Microsoft Ni**a Simulator 2006." I mean, seriously. You have to eat fried chicken and watermelon to regain health. That's just F'D up. Period.
The whole point is: race (to me) doesn't make a difference and *shouldn't* make a difference.
I thought this was supposed to be an enlightened society...? *shrugs*
(For the record, I'm "white"...if you call being Irish, German, Dutch, American Indian and Jew = white.)
The best part was that, in all of the major cities where this exact same publicity stunt happened, Boston was the only one that had a complete seizure over it.
Now I know to stay away from that city. F'n CRAZIES live there.
I don't think the job is gone, but perhaps the title is. "Webmaster" has been rolled into other jobs, because management of a public-facing web site is increasingly just one facade of a far more important job, management of a company's entire systems, which falls generally to the CIO, and then gets delegated from there down to a particular person or group.
You nailed it right on the head, there. The last time I had the job title "webmaster," I was working for Bluedomino.com (the former hosting arm or CoffeeCup Software). Now I work for a think tank in WaDC and, even though my duties encompass that of a webmaster, I have so much more to do (audio and video production, print design, et al). So much so that my title is now "Multimedia Producer." I'm still a webmaster...I'm just not only that.
The short explanation is that, after the dot.com bubble, companies have gone with the "many hats/renaissance man" approach of the early 90s as opposed to the super-specialized approach of the bubble.
The difference between fairplay and playsforsure is that fairplay *only* supports ipod, playsforsure is compatible with all sorts of hardware. I get the impression that Norway doesn't have a problem with the DRM itself, it's because it forces you to use specific hardware.
I'm sure I'm not the first one to say this...but SO F'KING WHAT?!? If you don't like Fairplay and you don't like DRM, DON'T BUY THEM...and DON'T buy and iPod.
Jesus, people. It's like the anti-thinking police have had a raid and you all acted casually. *squint*
"If the Canadian government really wants to promote Quebec culture, work with Google to put up a Canadian bilingual version of Youtube on Google.ca. This is a no-brainer, guys..."
You had me up until there. Yes. I spearatist version of Google is the way to go. We need one more thing that makes us less of a cohesive union.
Seriously. I'm down to my last $4 until payday (next Monday) and this story reminded me that I have $150 sitting, untouched, in my Paypal account. WOOT!

It was Long Ago, In a Galaxy Far Away...I'm pretty sure the characters are dead by now.

Literally, the risk is too low to have MANDATED innoculations.
Part of me thinks this is just another step towards allowing the gov't to inject/treat/innoculate us with whatever they want.
