No doubt tons of innocent people will be searched without their consent, for one. And since the breathalyzer test has known problems, more innocents will be caught up.

Our ideals and legal system is not supposed to allow the conviction of a few innocents, even if it means allowing a few guilty to go free. This (admittedly well-intentioned) quest to prevent drunk driving is imposing some scary repercussions for the innocent swept up in the great machine.

As long as it does it in less than 12 parsecs.

Yeah, but people aren't locked into the Mac. They buy Macs (generally) because they like them. Microsoft, on the other hand, desperately needs to maintain lock-in.

Yeah, I had the same problem. IE8 can emulate IE6 well enough to get rid of it (with a little work), see:

I have no evidence. I'm married.

Oi, I tried it. I didn't like that one. In fact, I've tried every major CMS out there.

I'd suggest also looking at dotCMS -- it's fantastic. I ported a medium-sized financial site to it almost a year ago now and couldn't be happier. It's been very stable and supports multiple themes. It's based on velocity, which isn't my favorite thing, but it's easy enough.

"Pixar is adult. The iPad is adult."

Uhm, adults have sex.

Ok well, some adults have sex. This is slashdot.

"Research, when it was necessary at all, was done at the library or at home."

That's the problem, they're talking about "inequities in household income." This is about those kids who have no home computer. And the library is filtered.

Netflix rocks on the PS3...

Bah, on Linux and *every other OS besides Windows* I can upgrade my websever, test the configuration and restart just the process when I'm ready. I often do the upgrade work a few hours beforehand (when I'm awake) and reboot Apache during a slow period (usually late night).

On Windows you may have to first shutdown the webserver to upgrade, or reboot the entire server, causing a much longer outage than needed.

Or just look at the jar locking hacks Tomcat has to do because you can't replace an in-use jar. I've converted several developers from Windows because rebooting Tomcat all day long is so god awful.

Rebooting to upgrade a library because you can't replace an in-use file is 15 levels of wrong. :-)

Ah, that's why... http://heartbeat.skype.com/

Rebooting to upgrade a browser is at least five levels of wrong!

From what I can tell, most of those SEO strategies are much more successful on Bing than on Google. I have several sites that rank well in Google despite never really working on SEO. It's a competitive category and the other sites are spamming the web with all kinds of links.

On Bing, my sites rank nowhere. In fact, they're found several pages into the search, long past some really obscure sites.

Bing is pay to play. Maybe people like that, I don't know. I would rather keep the more democratic Google, who works hard to keep the spammers out.
