I would think by now a Linux user would be used to ports from Windows being less reliable or capable than their Windows counterparts. (Or not existing at all.)

If every program out there isn't buggy to some extent, why do we keep getting all these annoying updates?

Clearly Linux is buggy: http://www.ubuntu.com/usn

The best thing about Flash, from a programming perspective, is that you don't have to write in a bunch of special cases for different platforms like you do when writing HTML/CSS/JS for IE/Mozilla/WebKit.

If this project catches on, it better be perfect or I'll be one of many writing a sniffer to block my apps from running on it.

Also, the 'Flash is buggy' stuff needs to stop. It makes you sound ignorant. Flash is a runtime. People can write wonderfully stable, efficient code in ActionScript or they can take down the whole process, just like they can in Java, C++, Objective C, or whatever. If flash wan't around, advertisers would hire the same half-wits to write banner ads in Java or JavaScript and your CPU fan would spin just as fast. (This is why you need adblock.)

Mine prefer Drum and Bass

When are those Earth, Wind and Fire tickets comin' in?

So, will Adobe Creative Suite and MS Office be in the same list as the slew of fart apps?

Yes, but Apple's products are shiny.

How will they keep up with all that extra monitoring?

What more do you want? Program listings in the back?

it was your cup that was poisoned. They were both poisoned. I spent the last few years building up an immunity to BPA.

Prove that any of the people who downloaded this film illegally would have purchased it legally if downloading it wasn't an option. Prove that these people who said, "well, I wasn't interested enough to see it in the theater or rent it, but I hear it won some award so maybe I'll check it out" would have been thoroughly motivated to purchase or rent the movie. Your film bombed because it was crap. Deal with it.

Please. Targeting is a piece of cake:

And terrorists seem to be less likely to target the military than they are to target civilians. (The end goal of organized terrorism is to push the government to become more restrictive, to the point that the citizens begin to turn against their government. It's worked in South America in the past. So by targeting civilians, the government is forced to clamp down by the very folks who will later decry the police state.)

Rather than an aircraft carrier, imagine a cruise missile targeting a full oil tanker in one of our more populous bays.

But, if you have a person who's ready to give up their own life, as the current crop of terrorists seems to have, you don't really need to waste your money on expensive and complicated electronics.

From now on, all of those 30 page documents that you click through can make sure you read every last word of themselves. How fantastic!

Meh.

Soon it will race the captain of the ski team to save the mountain from the giant corporation and get the fembot.
