Man, I've played some tough games, but RL is the biggest pain in the ass of them all.

ABS will stop you faster slamming on the brakes on a dry surface than trying to keep from skidding without it; if the tires are skidding, they have almost zero traction, as was demonstrated in a driving course in the USAF. ABS will stop a car faster than the same car without it in any conditions. The added benefit is you can still steer with the brakes slammed on.
This is wrong. What ABS does is allow you to control the direction of your car when your tires would otherwise lose traction. In fact, the stopping distance with ABS is actually longer than without.
Dudes, this is Slashdot. Can't you just for once use a term which *doesn't* have a positive second meaning to a majority of your readers? Try one of these:
You know, it's awfully telling that a box of saltines can exploit an Adobe vulnerability.
OpenSUSE supposedly has one of the better implementations of KDE, but I've never tried it so I can't tell you how it works.
If you want the most up to date version and don't mind getting your hands dirty, Arch Linux offers a vanilla KDE experience.

1. he didn't pass a collection plate
How do you know? After all, he was human at the time, and needed food to eat and clothes on his back.
Besides, tithing is crucial to the church community, and it is found several times in scripture. See Gen 28:20-22 and Deuteronomy 14:22-29 for example. (for reference, Levite == priest.)
In a good church, that offering goes on to fund the facilities required to maintain the church, any missionaries adopted by the church, and the community surrounding the church. Certainly, it also pays the salaries of the pastor and church workers, but unlike Congress, we the members of the church get to vote on whether the church workers get raises.
2. he wasn't passing the collected money up to a king in a city-state with a trillion dollar endowment
...
4. he was Jesus, not a pedophile hypocrite in a uniform
Oh, this must be about Catholicism. But even in Catholicism, not all churches are bad.
3. he wasn't promoting a political viewpoint while he had everyone's attention
This word "political". I do not think it means what you think it means. The Law of God is policy. Christianity, in many ways, is itself a political viewpoint.
5. it was about his ideas, not his haircut, the size of his stadium, the height of his stained-glass windows, or how well he fit the audience's idea of a "good christian"
I've never been to a church that preaches about these things... At least not without a tongue planted firmly in cheek. I imagine if I had ever visited one such congregation, I wouldn't stay very long.
6. he didn't have to talk around the absurd surrealities in the bible
This seems to be an attack on scripture itself, rather than the concept of a church, so this isn't all that relevant to my question.
Supply and Demand. Make your own porn with more romance and love stories in it, and see how it sells.

Is that AMD chipsets have been buggy in my experience. Well, for the most part it seems like there haven't been actual chipsets made by AMD, they've always been third party like nVidia, VIA or ATi.
I just want to point out that ATI is wholly owned by AMD and is therefore not a third party.

Debt $6 billion, cash-on-hand $33 billion. MSFT Key Statistics
Accounting question: why not just pay off the debt if they have the cash? Or is their cash somehow not liquid?
"Evolutionary designed" = it was "designed" via evolution. This does not have to be a reference to religion.
But to further the nitpick, he could have just said "evolved" and saved six syllables (seven if he had used the slightly more correct "evolutionarily designed", or four if he had said "evolution-designed", etc...).
