I am intrigued and invite you to join our Evil Overlords World Domination Club.

Our plan is evil. Man, it is so evil!
It is a bad, bad plan, that will hurt many people that are good!
I think it’s great, because it’s so bad!

Prerequisites to enter:
- An evil lair (preferably under a volcano).
- At least 100 minions (get the starter pack today!) or 10 lifeforms with super-powers.
- Super-secret secret super-weapon.
- Read the club rules.
- And most importantly: An evilness of at least 10,000 on the trough-the-roof Schwarzschild scale!

We also have a dress code. But as long as you look really evil, you’re welcome. :)

The problem with "Filthy Speech" as an absolute principle is that it is all ugly, and prickly, as a matter of fact. It is absolutely critical to the free exchange of ideas, however.

It's that to say that some random blogger likely doesn't have the tools to correctly analyze the data

On the contrary, if the raw data is available and the method used to massage it, then the tools are readily available. It's interesting to me that when Prof Mann produces a paper where he's fiddled with the data (as shown by Wegman, McIntyre/McIntrick and as verified by Dr North of the NAS in congressional testimony), the paper is not retracted, it's `defended' (mostly by use of blogs). The same is true of Briffa's Yamal chronology and Steigs choice selection of PC's in his Antarctic Warming paper. We aren't talking particle physics here; you don't need a billion dollar accelerator to reproduce this kind of analysis.

It almost seems like expectations of constant race towards put some number here times faster hardware shifted from PCs to smartphones... (since the former are good/fast enough for some time now)

Fast/high pixel count hardware doesn't make the phone "best". Where's long battery life? Sturdiness? Low price with rest of the features balanced? (yes, that includes two I mentioned previously)

Hmmm, it sounds like RMS isn't the only one wanting to have his 'own reality', but that's OK, you can have your reality, as long as I get to keep mine...

CmdrTaco, it would have meant more to me if you had waited to reach a power of 2! oh never mind..

I was initially quite put off by the way they had the character out in front and off to one side, it drove me crazy. I put the game away after about 15 minutes of running into doorways and went off to other things. Then Ghostbusters came out, and forced me to get used to that style because I just couldn't put that game down until it was done. After that, I returned to Dead Space eagerly, and found it was easy to control and that I now actually like it that way. Dead Space 2 will find its way into my computer very easily when the time comes.

The $8/hr intern position is BS, it sounds like a semi-skilled desktop support role.

Ditch both the A+ and Network+ items from your resume. You really don't want to be giving people the impression that you're a desktop support guy, as opposed to a software engineer guy.

A Java or Microsoft Developer certs will be a lot more useful.

I have been running one of the Chrome nightly builds on Leopard for several weeks and I am extremely impressed with its speed and stability. I have never had a single tab crash on me. I'm sure that people will complain about the lack of support for extensions compared to Firefox, and rightly so. But if you don't need many extensions, I highly recommend trying out Chrome.

Why is that surprising? Starcraft is a 10 year old game that is designed to be hosted on a single computer. WoW is not.

I think the users have been complaining about that longer than the developers.

I guess they better remove all the apps that have sales, as they are discounting themselves in order to gain positive reviews! Or is that somehow different because they aren't from China?

Chinese app farmers.

Microsoft will simply follow the same methods used by the carbon offset people.

You pay your money to a carbon offset company, that you yourself own.

Thanks for your answer.

I discovered this web page: How To Find Out What My DNS Servers Address Is.

For windows, it says to run

Ipconfig /all

which outputs the DNS server addresses actually being used.

There are instructions for Linux, also.
