What we really need are intelligent drivers. You know, the ones that don't drive 20 over the speed limit, don't tailgate, keep their cars in tune and the tires properly filled.

Or even an 'Astronaut'.
We've definitely gone from the days when our astronauts were national heroes, and space flights were major news items, to relatively anonymous folks risking their lives to put the next communications satellite in orbit for our corporate masters. Honestly, does anyone here know the name of a current astronaut off the top of their head without doing a search? We need a mission to Mars or something similar sooner rather than later.
Is there anyone, anywhere who thinks Microsoft will ever do anything that's really free, and therefore portable, cross platform and all that other stuff they would like to say about.NET? The more they hype it, the more obvious the shortfall.
Of course not, because it's not in their best interests to open source.NET. MS would lose control over their product, which is exactly not what they want to do.
It's a good thing to see another country getting into space. Pretty soon we'll have Bollywood 24/7, but I hope that the Indian government can use their own satellites to help improve the lives of the average Indian citizen.
Well, that's great that you knew all about parenting before your child was born, and had nothing to learn. You certainly should start a class for all of those lazy and bad parents out there, since they clearly need the help. I've seen enough bad kids around that a 'moral parenting' class is desperately needed.
I am. And while I agree that bad (or rather, lazy) parenting is to blame for many bad things, I find it interesting that many people who blame bad parents are not only not parents themselves, but probably wouldn't know the first thing to do should a child fall into their lap. I'm not saying that you necessarily fit this mold, but my eyes certainly have been opened about the difficulties in raising a child since my daughter was born.
Absolutely. It seems to me that the rash of pedophiles is very similar to the rash of cases of 'satanic abuse' and 'daycare abuse'. I don't doubt that there are pedophiles out there, and I agree that they need to have, at the bare minimum, psychological help. However, the hysteria around this issue is nearly unbelieveable.
The appropriate response is to shoot the lieutenant responsible for security. Then promote another ambitious, yet expendable underling to his/her place. Come on - this is Evil Overlord 101-level stuff.
I was just reading about *CENSORED* on the *CENSORED*, when all of a sudden some guys *CENSORED* into my apartment and started *CENSORED* my stuff and *CENSORED* my wife.
As a frequent editor on Wikipedia (I can indulge my need to correct grammar and spelling), I think that this is a good idea. It's ok to have the average user contribute, but people who claim academic credentials should be able to, and be required to, back them up.
At least at the time I visited the Pfeiffer site. While I'm not inclined to deny their results, it would be nice to have a little more in-depth knowledge of their methods.
And if you had bothered to look, you would have noticed that Spain was part of the coalition in Iraq, and both France and the Netherlands are in Afghanistan.

Shouldn't that be 'How to Pwn the Internet in Your Spare Time'?

I think that the Enterprise has better communicators than the iPhone already.
No thanks. I'd like to be able to use my computer without needing five top-of-the-line graphics cards just to run the OS.

One question: are you a parent yourself?
I am. And while I agree that bad (or rather, lazy) parenting is to blame for many bad things, I find it interesting that many people who blame bad parents are not only not parents themselves, but probably wouldn't know the first thing to do should a child fall into their lap.

Exactly. Doesn't an 'Innovation Suite' require, well, innovation?

I would've figured that the investigators' computers would be too slow from running Vista to investigate much of anything.
Apparently, he thinks that Dante wrote Paradise Lost. While I think that he meant The Divine Comedy, he really needs someone to check his work.
an .ANL exploit?
Spam at 10,000 feet!
More places for hives of scum and villainy!
Or even of European descent. Very nice.
What's 'RACSIM'? I see no 'RACSIM' here. Racism, on the other hand...
Seriously, though, can you give an example of a large media company whose CEO is not of European decent and is younger than about 40?

...the ob Sony bashing posts complaining that it's a failure because it didn't beat the DVD release.

Check France, Holland, or Spain recently?
