Because some people have trouble letting go...

I'm sure it's a wonderful set (although a bit slow getting to the page) but there has been so much improvement in the toolkits. Why do we have to fight change every step of the way?

Maybe if he had to actually work for a living at a minimum wage job, he'd stop asking those with little to no money to give up their chance to be raised up.

I have a feeling that they're following Palm down the long winding road of obsolescence. A Unix OS that isn't compatible with either of the two main players.

But since they've inheritied 16000 from Motorola, and another 1000 from IBM and I'm sure they're bidding on others, I'm sure the Google patent portfolio will do just fine.

On it's own Google's word processor isn't the greatest. Add the rest of the Google Apps portfolio, and suddenly you have something interesting.

The front side and the back side. What were you thinking?

I'm a Rhombus fan myself, triangles are just too two-sided.

Looks like the Plaintiff's Lawyer don't care about a lot of things: "Sandwich Planning Board Member Julie C. Molloy Fined $3,000 for Improperly Representing Clients Before the Sandwich Zoning Board of Appeals"

Outside of the Star Trek series, you've had a large number of regular, one-off and recurring roles. What would be your favourite role prior to the beginnings of Star Trek and after the original ST series run? If different, what was your favourite one-off?

I read the original exchange [http://thefire.org/article/13592.html], as well as the linked article. From that I get the following:

1. The Campus Police saw a poster on a bulletin board near and removed it due the the reference to killing.
2. They notified Professor Miller that he or someone had posted it and they removed it due to the reference. They asked him to contact them with questions
3. He exploded at them about first amendment rights and called them fascists.
4. They asked to sit down with them and go over the problem and informed him of campus requirements. They also let him know that if he violated campus requirements there may be penalties.
5. He called them "card carrying members of the NRA who are wearing side arms and truncheons" and put up a poster again calling them fascists.
6. The CP contacted his boss who asked him to meet with him ASAP.
7. He went crying to the media about how his rights are being trampled by fascists.

It seems to me that if he had simply talked rationally about this from the start (after the poster was removed) this whole problem could have been avoided. While the Campus Police may have gone too far enforcing campus rules, the prof went way out in the deep end without any concern for sanity.

Nothing the CP did was a terrible fascist crime, if Professor Miller had bothered to think before screaming, this would have been a non-issue.

I want Google to buy Palm's assets so that the WebOS benefits (like the card interface) can be merged into Android. They can junk the hardware and just keep the good stuff that was part of WebOS.

With Firefox releasing betas/alphas and new releases every few weeks, why are we covering this? Can't we just have the ever six week release story and maybe another one if they do something innovative?

Chrome is on version 15 but I don't see a story here every number change.

I can see it now, a Moon Farmville that can address issues in growing things on social networks outside of earth's atmosphere! I'll be rich!

Here's a slideshow that illustrates it.:

I for one want absolute accuracy in my coffee-table books. That's why I routinely scan all my books for even the most minor error and write a letter to the Times. Coffee table or not, someone might look in it and make broad assumptions on how the world works incorrectly and then run for office!

I've been reading this site for very long time (longer than 5 digits shows, I was slow in signing up) and it was you and Hemos and Cowboy Neil and all the rest that got me to stay thorough all the changes and editors and weird and Ponies.

Watching the bunch of you slowly move away from this has been strange, and with you gone, I'll still love what you built but can't help but feel that it's no longer the homepage it's been for the past 12 or so years.

You'll be missed and I look forward to your future as ruler of all things geek.
