No, it doesn't. It's an artificial requirement easily gotten around by ignoring their warnings. I've filled out my FAFSA online for three years using Firefox and Linux, and it's worked first time, every time.
Nor do I. After a short period of time using it, it's gotten quite good at predicting what I'm looking for. I'm not sure I'd want to go back to Firefox 2.x after getting used to it.
Here are some benchmarks right over at tomshardware that show that the "SlashDot world" in this case is accurate (amazing!).
No, those benchmarks show that the "SlashDot world" was accurate... two years ago. There's this little thing you might not be aware of called the passage of time. Now, I'm aware that this is a very difficult concept to wrap one's head around, since in that time, there have actually been improvements. I know, it shocked the hell out of me too!
Bravo, sir, I think you have just created the perfect troll.
Mods should take a look at this, as they obviously have difficulty distinguishing a troll post from an offtopic one. A troll post such as this would achieve its core goal - to use misinformation to state their point, goading people into replying to correct or admonish the original poster while the poster gets to sit back and have a good laugh at the people who didn't recognize the post for what it was. The bathroom stall posts that are here every day? Those are offtopic, maybe even a little disturbing, but they are not effective trolls.
Oh God, Incredimail. Would you believe that's the only "app" that's preventing my mother from switching to Linux? Yeah, and she wonders why her system's messed up all the time...
I've tried time and time again to show her the evils of that particular software package, I've even configured Thunderbird for her in an attempt to wean her off 3d-accelerated email. I'm hoping that she will eventually see the light, because as much as I'd like to, I can't force her to switch.
As someone who has examined the physical evidence and found that the explanation of creation provided in the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures (which collection I shall consistently refer to as the Bible) is sufficient and then some, I have cause to believe in an Intelligent Designer and almighty God.
"Creationism is the religious belief that humanity, life, the Earth, and the universe were created in their original form by a deity (often the Abrahamic God of Judaism, Christianity and Islam) or deities."
As one who believes in creationism you are, in fact, a Creationist.
Are you seriously suggesting that we should trust the word of those who are essentially the equivalent of Amway representatives for Christianity? And let's not even get into the fact that they're trying to show that the Bible is a valid factual source using quotes from the Bible. I respect people's faith, but you really should try a little bit harder if you want to be taken seriously.
"Act now and you too can get into Heaven! Only 144,000 spots, so be sure to act fast! This is a limited time offer, the rapture is coming!"
See, there's the problem, You start out with just www, but http is the gateway protocol (well, figuratively) and soon you'll be into news and ftp and god help us all if you sink deep enough to get to gopher because it's a long road back from that, son.
I'm still trying to get my hands on the old Arcade Explorers books. Interesting concept - choose your own adventure, and your choices determine the parameters of the game you type in (via different sections of code). Of course the games were simple, but still neat for their time.
You should really check out some of the Chick religious tracts surrounding gaming and witchcraft. I really don't think I've ever laughed that hard before in my life.
I think I vaguely remember The Box. Call a 900 number to request a song by number? I think it came in on UHF 45 here, and only when the conditions were right, so not very often.

Does the fact that "Nancy Reagan" was the first thought to pop into my head mean I have problems?
Nor do I. After a short period of time using it, it's gotten quite good at predicting what I'm looking for. I'm not sure I'd want to go back to Firefox 2.x after getting used to it.

Well hell, how am I ever going to count properly again?
At least he's consistant!
Information wants to be free.
Information wants to be a ballerina.
Then information needs to get her fat ass on a diet or she's never going to fit into that tutu and make Mommy proud!
It's like the original Forum of Greek polises (polisi? poli?)
Poleis, actually. That's the first time I've ever gotten to use that particular bit of useless knowledge. Thanks!

Alright then, LaTeX.

It isn't perfect yet, but this is an interesting attempt at doing just that. It's not limited to skin tones however; you can search by any colour.

The problem with that is that using a plural possessive to refer to a singular subject of unknown gender is widely accepted.
Then again, this is Slashdot...
Shouldn't that have been "a shale scripting language"?
Nonsense! Everyone knows that aliens use video games to determine the worth of a pilot.
If you have 4gb RAM and only a 10gb HDD, you have bigger problems than how much swap to use.
Of course! AC is user #666, women are evil, it all works out!
You have to do a lot of VB.net and you think MSDN is the pain? You have my pity.
Indiana remains an at-will state, and I'm also wondering: What isn't sensible about it?
