The article did mention that POSIX is the Nicene Creed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicene_Creed If Windows is to be considered an "Abrahamic religion" under the metaphor, then it's no surprise that they follow the POSIX creed. It may come as some surprise to the adherents of Windows how much they share in common with the shunned UNIX brethren, though.

That breaks down in that TOS was seldom considered (even by outsiders) to be evil. Crap, yes. Evil, no.

I don't think BeOS was ever a sufficiently major player to be compared to Hinduism. The place it holds when compared to other religions would rightfully bear comparison to something of a comparable age and importance to UNIX. I'm not sure what if anything fits that particular description. Possibly something from the IBM Mainframes. BeOS was very nice and very clever in the way it did things, but it is a recent development and achieved only a limited user base. Since it used some GNU tools, I think you could compare it to a small and radical offshoot of Christianity. Within the metaphor, I consider BeOS to be another "Abrahamic religion".

I'm certain that is how PIN terminals work here. Seems like in the US their reluctance to upgrade to 'chip' cards is causing issues implementing the better solution.

Ugh. Why?

Which country did you pick? Personally I'm terrified by the way things are going here. Would be good to gather information about my options.

http://gooeysoftware.com/mozaddons/ff3ff4/ You need to override the compatibility check. It's only listed as being compatible with pretty old versions, but you will actually find that it works with even the latest.

Seems that way to me. I use a theme that makes Firefox look the way it used to. Because that's what I need.

If you can figure out how to get to the rest of that universe, and survive there you're smarter than most people at NASA. The Earth is all we get, for now. Lets try to to not ruin it before we have alternatives.

It was an amount they should have already paid to secure their website. I don't condone the attack, but proper security is not a cost you only pay when attacked. I don't only attach a lock to my door after I have been the victim of a burglary.

Doesn't seem to me like the Republican party are doing a particularly good job of placing limits (or enforcing existing ones) on government power. It has only been a few years since they supplied a president, and as I recall he took more power into his own hands (or rather that of his office) than had been customary before. He said "I'm the decider", as I'm sure you know. I think that speaks volumes about his goals.

I certainly won't make the argument that the Obama administration is better than what had gone before. I merely point out that both parties are pursuing the goal of taking power for the government. To whom do you turn? It seems unlikely that a third party candidate will win the presidential elections.

You could say they were being generous, since $313.37 is the lowest amount of money which contains the string in question.

Maybe if you're conducting the "interview" with the "reluctant" witness with your fists, then you're hesitant to tell the superior officers about it.

If they did know, there would be literally nothing they could do about it. The law simply does not provide blanket protection for a trademark in the manner you appear to believe it does. In a separate field of buisness, there can be no possibility of infringement.

Very hard to believe. The case would have literally no merit at all. In order for a case like this to succeed, the two companies have to be competing in the same line of business. The conflict between Apple (computer) and Apple (records) arose because Apple (computer) moved into the music publishing biz with iTunes. Otherwise it would never have happened.
