Having only been familiar with the Fragile instrumental from NIN I wasn't sure what to expect. I loved the first album and spent the 5USD on the rest of the volumes.
And yes, as a designer and photographer I can honestly say that the artwork is absolutely great.
You do realize that the flat earth theory was something made up in Europe circa 15th century and that somehow made its way into (Roman) Catholic church doctrine?
In fact most civilizations prior to Dark Ages and the associated intellectual collapse viewed the world not as flat but as actually spherical.
Gee, I don't know. Because non-Americans are *gasp* humans as well?
Everyone, not just Americans, deserve basic human rights. You may think you can put a label on someone (EG "terrorist") and then they somehow become less human, so you can do whatever you damn well please.
What if, say, Japan or France or some other foreign nation decided that we were a "terrorist threat," and decided to begin wire tapping conversations going from America to Japan or France? Or originating in those countries? Wouldn't that make sense that you would be outraged that your conversations were being wire tapped by another country? What if you were French or Japanese?
Or how about another country takes you and puts you in their prison, without any kind of legal recourse. They just need to slap a label on you and call it good. Then torture you.
I thought we busted the Japanese for water-boarding in WWII...or was that the Germans? No, wait, it was both. We also busted them for slapping labels on people and locking them up without any legal recourse.
The reason these rights were instituted among men is because you are human, not because you're born in some arbitrary nation.
I don't hate your musicians, I just hate the fact that some spoiled brat can make twice as much as me with half the effort and no college degree. I hate that those brats are being taken advantage of by overgrown bullies that make more money than I can, with low level degrees from classes whose main requirements to graduate are Show Up, and Bullshit Convincingly. I hate that there are sound technicians who took years out of their lives to learn how to use complex machines to make music sound better, when I can do the same damn thing with a $500 microphone, $1000 computer, and free/second-hand software that requires a week of spare time to master ($500 mic optional, I've heard some damn good professional-quality music come from a $25 mic).
Yeah, right. Because I can get an off the shelf compiler like GCC and create an OS kernel or whatever after a week of playing around.
Whatever the hell you're smoking, I'd like some of that shit too.
Actually 6 months post-release of 8 as a web developer I plan to no longer support IE6. The two current in house websites that I have created and manage are made for a non-computer literate crowd with 80% IE on one site and 91% on the other. The breakdown is 31% IE6 on the former and 17% on the latter, and its been dropping very steadily on both.
Further, supporting IE6 is becoming more and more financially unfeasible as the design and development stage is lengthened by about 25% if IE6 needs to be supported. That's getting longer as we begin to bring in more goodies that newer browsers support while still attempting to keep the site compatible.
I love web design but I truly abhor the current nature of developing for browsers and not for standards and users. On top of that I can't always blame the browser when even the standard isn't entirely clear on certain aspects of CSS or XHTML. And frankly the current XHTML/CSS combo isn't all that great either, its too much of a kludge. Let's hope the newer versions of these standards prove more straight forward than their ancestors.
You're way too nice. Just go BOFH on their sorry luser arses and forcefully kill everything. Much more efficient, much safer* and quicker too. Plus you can wave your clue stick like it's going out of style.
*Safety can only be reasonably assumed when you don't do this to the Boss Man or any of his closer cronies.
Still, that's stupid. If you're a ticking time bomb get off the road.
You shouldn't drive under any circumstance intoxicated or otherwise in any state that would seriously impair your ability to make sane, rational judgments on the road unless your circumstances call for it and no other mode of transportation is available and the likelihood of death to you and other persons outweighs the likelihood that another event will occur because of your intoxicated driving. Most people can't drive well while sober (at least in America), if you're even remotely "shitfaced" you're even worse off. If you get stuck in traffic or something else delays you long enough for the alcohol to further enter the blood stream you won't make it home.
Now I'm no MADD dumb ass but a lot of people don't seem to understand they're piloting literally thousands of pounds of steel, plastic and aluminum at speeds ranging from 25-75 miles per hour down busy streets and highways. That's hard enough to keep your wits about you and have a perfect understanding of your surroundings and what you're piloting, but do this at night while heavily intoxicated and it's a whole 'nother ball game.
I encourage you to begin intelligently and respectfully educating those within your sphere of influence.
One of the most sane, cohesive and coherent things I've ever heard from a politician came from Ron Paul. Yet what he writes seems to be a well known fact in any culture outside the bubble that most non-power-holding neo-conservative (brainwashed lemmings*) live in.
Google/Technorati/Blogger among others have this thing called the TOS, or terms of service. They probably have an entire section dedicated to "we can pull your crap down anytime we like, without ever notifying your or giving you a reason if we did..." That TOS probably has a section about banning racist propaganda too, did you think about that?
And racist propaganda can, at times, be entirely subjective. I mean, having a website called "holocaust now" that talks about how bad the Jews are might be fine by you, but a lot of people would probably label that as borderline psycho. Google would rather cut you off than deal with the PR disaster of hosting a site called "holocaust now."
The big bad US government (which I really hate myself, mind you) didn't do a damn thing to advocate your site removal. You probably violated more than one TOS agreement with your site, and that TOS gives Google every right to shut you down. You already agreed to it.
You have freedom of speech, just don't expect a private corporation of any kind to give you a free ride to spew angry vitriol.

Like Telcos? Lest you forget, "Big-Government," put them there.
It's pronounced "Fronk - in -shteen"!
Damn Luddites.
Get off my lawn!
That depends on how they quantify their use of the word "big." Its entirely possible that "big," could mean "highly publicized."
Visual Basic isn't programming. It's a glorified scripting language.

Well. I started pushing the down key and gave you troll rating instead, since the rating field was in focus and not the thread itself. Sorry dude!

I think that answers much, for myself.
What are you trying to say? That safety tests are, in fact, a bad idea?
/. man! We already knew that!

We should nuke them. It's the only Patriotic American thing to do.

Code is pretty. Programs are beautiful.
Is Curious George anything like, say, Nookuhler George? Or Military Misadventure George? Or Read His Lips George, Sr.?
Or the companion Suck Me Off Bill? (complete with Monica Missles!)
Collect them all!
Wow. I'm sure Freud would have a field day with you!
And so we shouldn't try?
