It's the same character for both in Chinese - you have to disambiguate if you want to be more specific. There are more goats than sheep in China, so it's usually translated as goat if not specific.

seriously if you're trying to get someone arrested/fined/sent to court just because they accidentally bumped into you on the sidewalk, then you have a much bigger issue than they do.

All Giuliani has actually achieved with this personal attack is to make himself look like even more of a wanker.

I'll have to side with Apple in this one just because I have little trust in a company that was given $249 million by the government, then stiffed the American people by going bankrupt and selling itself to China.

to go with my $10k ethernet cable that improves the sound of streaming audio.

I do, actually, wonder if anyone has run this through Excel. Consider the following scenario:
Acme TVs makes a "Smart TV", intending to monetize the information gained from viewing habits and similar. Suppose said TV retails for 400USD. Does that sticker price reflect a subsidy from the marketing data they're expecting to get? If so, then the best thing we can do is to buy these TVs, then never connect them to the internet. This way, they've spent $425 to sell me a TV for $400. Either TV prices will go up, or they'll sell 10,000 TVs with only 5,000 reporting data back...if that proportion goes low enough, is it possible that, paradoxically, voting with our wallets could mean buying things we don't want so that it stops being profitable?

This is why the statistics on this article are bogus. The banks in Europe claim C&P is foolproof, so if your money is stolen it's "the user's fault", and it's not "fraud". Kind of like how our unemployment rate in the USA is so low because they decided that people who gave up looking for work don't count, and people who are working 20-30 hours a week do.

I do the same thing. Every clients computer gets AdBlockPlus and WOT. HUGE helper.

>> Java and JavaScript are now locked in a battle of sorts for control of the programming world.

Whatever. Wake me up when you can write a (good) device driver in either then I'll take your claim a little more seriously.

I realise that the internet is a massive source of employment, but believe it or not, its not the only thing out there. There are acutally a few of us software developers left that do not do web stuff (and actually like it that way).

I'd like whatever plugin it is that keeps Firefox from ballooning to 1+ GB of RAM if I have a few tabs open.

I don't even know where you're going with 'personal liberty.' The economic system has so little to do with what you're allowed to say, which god you're allowed to worship, or how you spend your free time as to be completely orthogonal.

We have three essential freedoms: life, liberty, and property. Taxes reduce our property, so their use must be as guarded as are the limits on the other two. You almost hit on it with your last example; indeed, if I choose to spend my free time in an activity that I can no longer afford due to high taxation, that's a clear negative impact due to the economic system.

They link to this chart, which actually contradicts what they say unless you use a bizarre interpretation of it that would indicate a 230 pound man would also have a .05% BAC after one drink.

The whole point of due process is to ensure that yes, this is indeed the guilty party to be punished. Historically, the witch hunt was one popular alternative.

The "G" in "gif" stands for "graphic" - hard 'g'.
The word "gift" is pronounced with a hard 'g'.
There are no other vowels in the word to alter pronunciation to be like 'giraffe'.

The inventor of the format can say what he wants. It's a hard 'g'.
