Do you really think that? A dyed-in-the-wool fundamentalist Christian that thinks the Apocalypse is a good thing because he gets to meet his BFF Jesus that day, in charge of the second largest nuclear arsenal in the world?

Are you privy to some quirk of Santorum's eschatology that makes him more dangerous than previous theologically-conservative presidents, none of whom has yet provoked a nuclear holocaust?

I think it was meant to be read thus.

Let me know when your favorite MS Office alternative can open and flawlessly display every Office file that I have, or may receive from somebody else. I also need a guarantee that files I create with it can be sent to people using MS Office, and they'll be able to use them without incident.

In all reality, MS Office doesn't offer that kind of guarantee.

The blazon (the heraldic technical description) of the arms is what officially defines them, and it doesn't include the particular sequence of digits; it just says "in base a bar wavy Sable inscribed with zeros and ones Or."

So even if it means something, that particular sequence is just the artist's interpretation; somebody else who redrew the arms would be entitled to change it. Most likely, it's just what the artist liked visually.

Interestingly, IE 9 seems to be following the rules for CSS and ES5, perhaps better than the other browsers. I'm cautiously optimistic.

In other non-TV media there is a balance for both sides, but of course most Americans only watch TV News.

Well, newspapers often reflect the preconceptions of their reporters, which are substantially liberal (in the American sense of the word). But mainstream US newspapers at least try for balance, even if they don't always succeed, which is far more than can be said for the TV networks.

WHEN THE FUCK ARE WE GOING TO STOP TREATING SEX AS SPECIAL?

Maybe when it works the same way as the other human appetites? Which is to say, presumably never. I mean, nobody puts up videos of someone else eating a really good plate of fettuccini alfredo.

Try the Pirate dialect for setting up privacy options:

"Make ye parchment of ye mateys visible to arrrrvreyone?"

Let's see... um... "Arrrrr!" or "Walk the plank!"...

Sounds like they suck. Cablevision doesnt dump a ton of extra taxes on our bill (which is one of the things they point out in their comparisons to Verizon's extra $25-30 of taxes and fees) - nor do they charge termination fees or have contracts (unlike Verizon's 2 year contract and almost $400 termination fee), and various of my TVs do not have set-top boxes (which doesnt lose me many of the channels I actually watch). For the ones I do have set top boxes, it's only costing me an extra $5 a month (which, with a few can be talked down to as little as $2 each) and for "DVR like purposes" I have a combo DVD/VHS deck which I can auto-program to record what I want straight from either the non-cable-box signal or from the cable box (which it will tune to the correct channel and record to either DVD or VHS).

I've known people who have done that... maybe that is also part of the reason some cable companies are no longer selling (or making people jump through hoops to get) cable internet only (ie: with no cable TV package attached).
