However most of these people were on MySpace and didn't give Facebook any recognition when it was new.

Heck when I got on facebook it required a .edu email address at the time. It was designed to be MySpace for educated people.

I blame the metric system.

As compared to Facebook?

Try landing on Gilly in Kerbal Space Program... any sneeze, in the near-zero gravity of a small asteroid/comet, will send you tumbling endlessly.

To add to what Talderas said, as far as the Civil war, seven states seceded before Lincoln even took office. They seized federal properties before he even had the authority to do anything. Buchanan, a Democrat, was President at the time.

Thanks for the laugh. I needed it on Monday morning.

If the shuttle program included a "gas can with a glider strapped to it", then the Apollo program was a tin can with a stack of gas cans under it. The comparison still doesn't work, because your "glider" had main engines of its own. It just didn't need or use them in the landing. I don't understand why you think a reentry vehicle that had to drop in the ocean on parachutes is somehow better than one that can land on wheels.

I love how Russians brag about how little they value the life of their citizens. Ten million died because they were not well equipped or well led.

You know, the tax laws regarding 401Ks are quite clear. You don't have to go to a tax lawyer; any CPA, H&R Block, or tax prep software will tell you that. The firm that holds your 401K fund will tell you. Heck, Google will tell you. In a world where nothing is free, it should be obvious that something that is tax favorable like 401Ks should have limitations. I have no sympathy for someone who thought a (initially) tax-free retirement fund could be dipped into whenever he wanted without penalty.

If you think a pension fund is somehow easier, look up what it takes to borrow against it. The interest rates are nasty. At least with a 401K, you're actually paying interest back to the fund, so the real loss is in the loss of return due to the remaining principal being lower.

The laws favoring and propping up labor unions still exist! So you have to ask yourself: why aren't they serving us?

Did you see the swap occur, or was it all smoke and blue curtains?

The current Corvette is broadly considered to be the best deal in high performance... in the world. The new Cadillacs are awe-inspiring and built like they mean it. Even Ford has apparently discovered reliability. You're talking bollocks.

I'll grant you a lot of garbage is still coming from the big three, but look around the world. Everyone makes shit cars.

Most submissions I know anything about, which is to say both mine and those which submitters have commented on, have been edited.

Wow... that's something that every other operating system's service manager can handle.

OK, so exec the daemon from your script, whatever. It's not a problem for me. However, not doing this gives you a chance to do more stuff when the daemon dies...
