They're part of a vast international conspiracy. The Karl Rove and the Catholic Church are plotting to weaken the defenses of every nation in the world so the aliens can take over without a fight. It's called the domesday conspiracy because the conspirators are going to hide under the dome of the Sistine Chapel when the invasion happens.
And no, your tin-foil hats won't save you. Better stock up on lead.
You do have a point there, but I wouldn't expect a website designer to have to check for invalid code, especially mid-word line breaks with code embedded in the wrong place. Was this bug in IE well documented? I've never heard of it myself. Either way, it does show just how difficult it is to fully secure a website.
If they developed it on company equipment, there is no way they are going to get the copyright themselves. Whoever provides the capital used is going to get it, in this case the company. Now if they developed it at home on their own time, they can probably get it.
As others have pointed out elsewhere, it was an IE issue. MySpace apparently does filter out the word "javascript", but this guy was able to use a problem in IE to split the word across two lines, and put it inside some CSS code. For some reason, IE sees fit to execute code like that.
I saw something on TV about another scientist at the time. This guy developed a device that used steam to cause a ball to spin. The water was boiled in the base, travelled up the support rods, into the ball, and out two ejection ports on the outside of the ball. The mockup they showed spun really fast. If this guy had thought of it as more than a toy, he would have started an industrial revolution.
I agree. I remember when they sent their first guy up there, I saw a poll on cnn.com. The question was: "Do you fear that China sending someone into space will start another space race?" I wanted to answer: "No, I'm not afraid it does, I hope it does."
For things like mp3 players and cellphones, it's really useless unless you're completely lazy or hate charging wires with a passion.
That's me exactly. I absolutely hate having a power cord for my phone floating around in my car. I would love a pad built into the small holding tray (or whatever it could be called) that's in my center console. I already take my cell phone and PDA out of my pocket and place them there anyway, why not add effortless recharging to it?
Why not have a second E3, or similar show, take place on the east coast or perhaps in the Midwest?
Why not have one every week, in each state?
I've actually seen his two show idea done to great effect in the music products industry (not CDs, but instruments.) We have a huge show in January, bigger than E3. We also have a smaller show in July. This year it was in Indianapolis. I couldn't imagine not having that summer session.
I do agree with him on the sound. It's a problem out our shows too.
In the installation information for Myth, it mentions workarounds for digital cable boxes. As I remember it, you can use an IR Blaster, which is basically an IR transmitter that sends the channel changing commands to the receiver. The other option is to control it with a serial cable. Apparently, the cable companies developed that possibility for Tivo, and it's been hacked into Myth. I would think that whatever tech the cable companies use, they will make sure it works with Tivo. Then someone out there will hopefully make that work with Myth. I have no idea how well any of these work though, as I don't have digital cable.
I agree completely on that. I just recently bought a used laptop for school. $300, 600Mhz, 320MB RAM, 12GB HD. Runs Windows XP, OpenOffice, and even Visual Studio 2003 with no problem. In fact, VS runs just as fast as on the 2.8 Ghz machines at school.
So I'm trying to push my religious point of view? That's funny, considering I don't HAVE a religious point of view, since I'm an atheist. By the way, your confrontational attitude makes you look like a half-wit.
Also, building roads is directly related to regulating interstate commerce, which the constitution allows Congress to do. Funding medical research isn't listed as an authorized federal activity.
This is exactly the type of research that pro-life groups have been advocating as an alternative to embryonic stem cells for years. Remember, there are four types: embryonic, umbilical, adult, and something I don't remember right now. The pro-life arguements against stem cells are all against embryonic only, because of the abortion issue, as you seem to already know.
He's only against stem cell research that comes from the death of an embryo. Harvesting umbilical cord stem cells does not kill the child, therefore it's not a problem to the common pro-life beliefs. However, there are some uncommon pro-lifers who think ALL medical advancements are wrong, because we are playing God or some such idea.
Count me in that group. I've always found everything on the Palm to be intuitive, especially Graffiti. I even take notes in some classes on it. As for the Pocket PC stuff, I can't figure out how to use the OS on them, much less the rest of the software. Plus I've never heard of one with more than a few hours battery life to it. My Palm gets plugged into my USB port approximately whenever I remember to (read: not often,) and I've never had the battery below 75%. I guess I'm just in the minority on this.
While I've never seen the movie, my first thought was, "Maybe that movie sold horrible on DVD because no one wanted it." That statement would have been useful if they provided sales figures for both the dominant and upcoming format for both movies (VHS and DVD for AF1 vs DVD and UMD for the others.)

In this case, you could have just used "date BETWEEN 20041225 AND 20041230"

I have yet to see a professor CREATE their own material. They all use Powerpoint slides and assignments straight out of the book.
I can't imagine Blackboard being slightly less annoying that ANYTHING! I'd rather go through constant paper-cuts under my tongue.

I don't know what model your wife has, but my Zire 21 is great. It is a black and white screen, maybe the color ones are worse.

The pro-life arguements against stem cells are all against embryonic only, because of the abortion issue, as you seem to already know.
The summary states that it's umbilical cord cells, which is perfectly ethical by pro-life standards.

I thought recorded calls were illegal.
Don't feel bad about it. If enough people complain about surveys as well, maybe someone will get the hint that those calls are unwanted as well.
Not if they had an agenda to promote, like convincing people the list doesn't work.
That's exactly what he was saying wouldn't work. Basically, here's how your conversation breaks down:
AC: You can load a module even if the kernel doesn't support them.
You: Then just make your kernel not support them.
