Now Reiser says he removed the seat and put it in a dumpster because he was sleeping in the car. But an alternative explanation was that he used the car to move a body, scrubbed the blood off the bodywork and dumped the seat because he couldn't get the blood off it.
He should have tried Oxy-clean. I heard if you call in the next fifteen minutes, you get a second bottle absolutely free!
That's why you have Voir Dire, so you can reject potential jurors that might have a conflict of interest or other prejudice that hinders them from rendering an impartial verdict.
Technically, you can prove something doesn't exist by proving that it is logically impossible for it to exist (and this is possible with the Judeo-Christian God - e.g. Theodicy Paradox). The point the GP was making was that absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. That said, it doesn't really say anything of substance - the same argument can be made either way, ad infinitum. So the GP could have said just as much by saying nothing at all.
[Another] scenario could be that Microsoft requires Web pages to change the default settings by flagging that they really, really want to be rendered correctly.
So all this time, they've assumed that we don't want our pages rendered correctly? Hmmm, that actually explains a lot...
Ah, the second time I've said this today: a release candidate is JUST THAT: A FUCKING CANDIDATE FOR RELEASE.
They are not non-functioning. They are feature complete. Release candidates become releases. Sure, they're not perfect but they're supposed to be basically "we think this is ready for production use, but we're just giving it one last test to be sure".
Anyone who installs "beta", "community technology preview", or "release candidate" software on their systems and then complains about the experience and how it sucks should be branded with a big ol' "D U M B A S S" on their short-bus-riding-tuckus.
Sorry, gunna have to disagree with you there. A release candidate is just that - a candidate for release. Just because Microsoft has warped the term to mean "late beta", doesn't mean that's what it is. In many cases a release candidate becomes the final release.
RC's aren't meant to have major errors. RC's are designed to be feature-complete and stable. If a release candidate has major bugs, then it isn't release quality and thus should never have been labeled as such in the first place.
Note: I'm not condoning putting RC's on mission-critical equipment, but I fundamentally disagree that an RC should be inherently considered unstable.

I'm with you. It's both frightening and insulting that people think they can pick something like this up over a weekend. I don't understand why people have this idea that you can pick stuff like this up so quickly...I mean, would you call yourself a doctor just because you read a few medical books?
As bills get passed to erode the freedom of American's, I'm watching the US slowly descend into totalitarianism.
Actually, it's a really clever way of defeating terrorism, one that the terrorists will never catch on to! You see, since they hate us for our freedom, if we eliminate all of these pesky freedoms, the terrorists will have nothing to hate us for anymore! See, it makes perfect sense:)
Parent should be modded insightful IMO (even if unintentional). As light-hearted a jest as it may be, it really exposes a lot of what I hate about people's priorities. Just imagine what could be achieved if instead of pissing money away on lottery tickets people instead put that money into their favorite charity. Yes, I know most lottery commissions also donate large sums to charities but that's still only a fraction of the money actually generated through ticket sales. Just imagine if, say, $370M was instead invested in medical research? I know, maybe not as fun as getting your weekly high, but still.
I suspect it's mostly the collisions it refers to are mostly taxiway and tarmac incidents
Exactly - you're several (hell, maybe even dozens) times more likely to be in a collision (even fatal) on the ground than you are in the air. In fact, the most deadly airliner collision in history happened on the ground.
Because I'm certain Google realizes that a lot of these copyright holders are sittin' on a freaking gold mine here.
Yes, but now those copyright holders cannot argue that Google isn't trying its damnedest to curb copyright infringement. I mean, how much more can they reasonably be expected to do? They comply with DMCA takedown notices, and some could say by implementing this filter, if anything they're going above and beyond their obligations.
That's true, I believe. Technically, anything you create is covered under copyright, at least, that is the impression I get. This post I am writing right now is copyrighted. As such, I will be sending DMCA takedown notices to anyone who reproduces all or part of this comment.
We understand that negative information can make it hard for you to make an informed decision about how membership can meet your current and future buying needs, and we'd like to respond.
As if, somehow, only looking for positive information about something is the best way to come to an "informed" decision. If anything, I'm looking specifically for negative information when I am trying to make an informed decision before buying something.
people complained and they killed the program and tried to pull the videos when they realized that they were looking like tools.
Yeah, real professional commentary there. Anyhow, why can't we just ban these frigging ads where "real" people are supposedly testifying at just how great a product is? Everything from credit counseling to floor polish seems to have them these days. Seriously, can't they come up with something more original? I don't want to see a bunch of paid actors gushing about how fantastic a product is, I want to know what it does and why I should buy it. The most amusing one I saw was for a product that helps you store your kitchen roll by hooking a container over a door. The people were like "it's changed my life", "life is so much easier now"...I mean, what the FUCK? How messed up does your life have to be that where you store your kitchen roll has a profound impact on the quality of your life!?

If Google were being wrongly flagged, and Google ends up suing the ass off Comcast to put an end to this bullshit.
...to know why they have keywords if they state in their privacy section that they forbid search engines from indexing their page.
It's a new kind of DRM Apple is trialling.

So, you can't store people's IPs on your web server, but if you operate a TOR node, you do? Or only if you are ordered to by a court?
I think I'm confused.
