What makes you think that the DirectX people are the same as the Vista OS people? The former understand games very much (and there's not much to security in games, since even the most connected online games are walled gardens). At any one time, half of Microsoft is actively impeding or undermining the work of the other half.
No, there should be a different transition per bullet point, and they should take at least three seconds each. Make sure each level of bullet point is in a different font too.
It's the 21st century, and we now have federal-level (presidential) elections that affect all of us. Even congressional seats affect the whole country. Ergo here in my state, I would like Ohio and Florida to follow some goddam standards, even if they have to be forced on them.
Knowing how congress works though, the final form of this bill will probably require closed-source unlocked internet-connected diebold-only machines.

The skill to properly use timered abilities makes up quite a bit. Of course the folks with the superior skill also tend to accumulate superior gear.
Personally I find that all the micromanagement of DOT, stunlock, buff/debuff timers, to say nothing of the poor AI known as aggro just turns the game into a spreadsheet with colorful graphics. Fun for some, I guess, but not my cup of tea.
SRPMs are not updated with security patches or otherwise, however, and that's a good part of what Redhat charges for. I would surmise that the CentOS folks roll their own patches from upstream.

Seriously. Even if you ARE modded down, it doesn't make you some kind of martyr.

> Like building a submarine out of swiss cheese.
I suspect a submarine built out of a nice solid gruyere would probably not be terribly seaworthy either. When it comes to the structural integrity of hull materials, cheese tends to rank pretty low.
ARRRGH no we did not. Apes came from monkeys. Our ancestors came from monkeys. We are siblings to modern apes, who I guarantee are quite adapted in ways we're not.
Rene Descartes based his epistemology on the fact that he just couldn't stand that he didn't have a soul, so he decided to start over again with the assumption of a soul in mind. Being exceptionally smart just made his lame justifications all the more loquacious.
Evolution is the term given to "Macroevolution" or evolution on a large scale, involving creating new species that cannot interbreed, and that is what is disputed in the religious world.
Frankly, Evolution is the term most people give to that timeline-drawing showing a blob in the water on the left, going to fish, lizard, chimp, homo erectus, then finally homo sapiens sapiens on the right (and often, adds a guy hunched over a computer keyboard as a punchline). It's a poetic statement, but it's hardly an accurate picture.
Speciation happens through microevolution, and usually there's no clear dividing line where one species is formed that cannot interbreed with its predecessor. Only the hardcore fundies require the belief that an evolutionary line goes "pop" and there's suddenly a new species, and only so that they can deride it. Why they can't accept that "God makes 'em go pop" is sort of beyond me, but ultimately it all speaks to motives rather than honest inquiry.
> I don't believe in organized religion, but I don't have the hubris to claim that my beliefs are not faith based.
Unlike the case with religious faith, scientists are still looking for the answers to these questions as opposed to claiming they already have them (let alone making up new phenomena like "souls" to justify them)
Yesterday may be a perception to you, and the name is even pegged to the rotation of our chunk of rock, but things like carbon decay show pretty definitively that the events happened.
I'm not going to get into a George Berkeley thing with you. I refute it thus *whack*.
> You cannot prove that yesterday happened; are you calling my Big Mac imaginary?
Your assertion of a Big Mac from yesterday is irrelevant. Presumably McDonalds has sales records that could corroborate your account, and probably still hasn't overwritten its in-store surveillance recordings from that store. It's also pretty darned irrelevant.
Now about that invisible rhinoceros in your living room...

That doesn't even account for all the time in the Bible. Unless they believe Jesus was born yesterday. Are you sure it's not 6,000?

You must be a hoot when someone asks you what car to get.
Friend: "I'm not sure, should I get the hybrid or the TDI?"
You: "Walk."
Friend: "Ha ha, okay, seriously though, the TDI's got pretty similar mileage, but I have to find the diesel stations-"
You: "Walk."
Friend: "I'm shopping for a car here, I'm wondering which car-"
You: "Walk."
I'm going to see to it that the sun rises in the east tomorrow. Mark my words.

Just read the guy's posting history. Whether or not he had a valid problem a year ago, he's nothing but a troll now. Let's not feed him.
