Did you RTFS? Is your sarcasmometer calibrated incorrectly? And did you read the GP? He wasn't calling Mark Zuckerberg "inventor extraordinaire seriously.
That's a perfectly legitimate use for "begs the question" nowadays.
The only people who would argue are they same people that would say something like, "that was an ad hominem and that's a logical fallacy!!!" when discussing the weather with a co-worker...though I guess that is an accurate description of a slashdotter.
I actually saw an app that did that last week! For the first time ever. I booted up the machine and a little notification popped up that said InstallShield Updater detected updates. I had no idea wtf that meant so I clicked the notification balloon and sure enough some third-party program had an update available.
Of course, the updater promptly froze after I chose to install the update, but that's probably because it was offsite at work on a terribly old computer.
Does anybody play DDO anymore? I tried it out maybe year ago for a couple of months. It was the first time I cared enough about an MMO to go out and buy it (and a game card so I didn't have to use my Credit Card if I wasn't going to keep it) because I love D&D.
The game was actually a good deal of fun when it worked, but I just lagged so damn bad. I tried it on two different computers: one was my gaming machine (AMD 64 x2 4400+ 4gb RAM nvidia 7800gt at the time), not to mention is was on University internet connection (I don't know the actual speeds, but all other online games work great).
The overworld, and the introduction/training and stuff worked fine, but as soon as I entered an instance, whether with a party or no, it stuttered to an unusable degree.
If anyone can attest that it got better I'd be glad to dig out the disc (which I kept) and try it again.
I can't speak for wikipedia, but PG has a 4gb DVD iso that has A LOT of books, not to mention the smaller "Sci-Fi bookshelf" CD iso.
Both are torrentable at decent speeds so you won't kill PGs server. Or (unless I'm mistaken) you can get a mail-order copy the old-fashioned way.

Sadly, it passed. Happily, every single rep from my state (MA) voted nay.
"Technoliberation" != "technolibertarian"

"Uhh, cake please."
"Very well! Give him cake!"
"Oh, thanks very much. It's very nice!"
You can transfer 37GB in 3 days over tor? Wow, I have to connect to some of these fast nodes you're getting.

"the whole OS changes every six months or so"
All Ubuntus are Linuces. Some Linuces are Ubuntus. Are all Linuces Ubuntus?
Linux is constantly changing, there is no line at the six month mark that says, "Okay we are now at Linux version 8, everyone upgrade!".
That is absolutely beautiful. Welcome to my desktop, Buddhabrot.
...to me.
Please? If not me, you can probably donate them to some charity .
I don't even back up to the same Dimension!
You mean in your version you can get past the first 4 levels?

You have 10 Macbook Pro's and you can't afford your internet access? Prioritize, man!
I assume it would also let you "burn" a dual-layer DVD?

Attention all planets of the solar federation: we have assumed control.

Power and rights are different. See amendment 9, per plenty of posts in this thread.
Then we shall throttle our LAN!

So they have heard of exchange rates, but they're doing it backwards?
