Cave Johnson doesn't concern himself with orange anything. It's lemons, or nothing!

Came for the Portal 2 reference. Didn't leave disappointed.

Pray tell, to what domestic use would you put depleted uranium, cordite, and lead?

You don't like foreign wars, which is a fine position to have. Don't bollix it all up with falsehoods about the DoD procurement process and where those dollars actually end up.

Are you at all familiar with the defense procurement process? Do you *REALIZE* the regulations you have to comply with in order to even source parts from a foreign entity? "Export controls" are a *HUGE* headache for anyone in the DoD's procurement chain, such that the vast, VAST majority of Defense dollars stay States-side.

In fact, the net effect is such that it entirely negates your point: dollars spent on munitions manufactured by US firms are deployed in theater and used for creative destruction far from our shores. Would you rather we started carpet bombing Chicago instead?

They did "Beverley Hillbillies" at the show I attended last month. Jim West is a good guitarist, but it's easy to see why Knopfler wanted to play the riff -- it just doesn't sound right with anyone else picking away at it.

My parents had a strict No Popular Radio rule when I was a young lad yet, for some reason, had a "Weird Al" Escape Clause -- I could listen to all the "Weird Al" I wanted, but never the source material.

To this day, I can't hear "Lola", "Hey Ricky", "I Love Rock And Roll", "Ride The Pony" and countless other songs that "debuted" in Yankovic form in my life without singing the "Weird Al" version.

I saw him on the first leg of his US tour in Glenside, PA. He does "Perform This Way" in the peacock suit that shows up about 2/3 of the way through the video.

He averaged a costume change every 1.5 songs or so. And yes, it was an awesome show, though I hear he won't be doing "You're Pitiful" live anymore, which is a shame.

Their site wasn't compromised AFAICT. Three plugin developers' accounts were compromised (passwords guessed?) and SVN checkins containing backdoors were pushed into their respective (fairly popular) plugins. This was intended to push malware out to individual WordPress installs.

C'mon, trolls, y'all are falling down on the job!

...Because the Mac client is a hideously-designed UI and slow as all get-out, plus I can use Meebo to integrate all my other chat channels?

I mean allowing multiple video streams on one call, yes. Perhaps the Linux client doesn't yet allow for it. The Pro/subscriber edition on Mac and Windows does, at least in theory.

Do either of these support

1) multiple concurrent video chat streams
2) Windows, Mac & Linux with a similar UI

It's simple, though -- a Skype-replacement just needs to end up on Leo Laporte's desk. He and his TWiT network cohorts have been ragging on Skype for years, and yet they continue to use it because it

1) works on durn near every OS out there
2) is easy to acquire and install for potential collaborators

It's not just about the POTS service, though. I rarely, if ever, see folks using it for voice-only calls. People use it for (in my experience):

1) Text-only chat (which is bat-guano-insane, IMHO)
2) Video chats

#2 sees the most use in my family and company circles. If we want voice-only, we call the other person's cell phone.

Seriously, Skype has been a grudgingly-necessary eyesore for years, and yet we don't seem to have a widely-accepted and/or functionally-equivalent OSS project in the wild. How can this be?
