Hubris (source: wikipedia) Hubris or hybris (Greek ), according to its modern usage, is exaggerated self pride or self-confidence (overbearing pride), often resulting in fatal retribution. In Ancient Greece, "hubris" referred to actions taken in order to shame the victim, thereby making oneself seem superior.
Hubris was a crime in classical Athens. It was considered the greatest sin of the ancient Greek world. The category of acts constituting hubris for the ancient Greeks apparently broadened from the original specific reference to molestation of a corpse, or a humiliation of a defeated foe, to molestation, or "outrageous treatment", in general. The meaning was further generalized in its modern English usage to apply to any outrageous act or exhibition of pride or disregard for basic moral law. Such an act may be referred to as an "act of hubris", or the person committing the act may be said to be hubristic. Ate, Greek for 'ruin, folly, delusion', is the action performed by the hero, usually because of his/her hubris, or great pride, that leads to his/her death or downfall.
I'm a Native American to Canada and the price of dental care is not a concern to me, as it's currently a government subsidy for my people. Am I a bad person?
No developer outside of Microsoft in their right mind would make a Vista-only game right now. It would be like releasing some PlayStation 3 games. Fixed.
There's a certain risk in that, as well as technological difficulty. This operation involves libraries of DVD quality movies. A high-capacity few HDDs would be required, and what if someone gets a hold of these couple of HDDs containing all these movies?
Money may very well sway the minimum-wage workers of Wal-Mart and BestBuy. Immediately easy access to a wide selection of DVD-quality movies could be dangerous.
If you read around the site somewhere, it mentions that they are US-only (dunno when UK is gonna get ubuntu systems, even Canada can't get their hands on this yet).
Hope this helps. I know I'm definitely saving a bit for the laptop.
Not exactly Explorer-friendly with thumbnails and all. I presume these files are "hidden" from the malicious kind of cache-pickers, rather than to inconvenience the curiously inclined.
Semper ubi sub ubi is a pun based on the English gloss of a malformed Latin phrase: "always where under where." The motto is used as a joke by Latin students and others to mean "always wear underwear."

Quite interesting.
Actually, it's MS Office 2008 for Mac. Granted, poking fun is always great, but your poking is just baseless. :P
FYI, all "MS Office for Mac" software is released a year later than "MS Office for Windows", despite MS Office origins as Mac software.

The delta wing structure was invented because it's useful/required for supersonic aircraft, and that reason alone. Please stop spreading propaganda.

Note: I hated it at first, but it sort of grew on me. Can I have the option to change it back? Please?
