Too bad!

Those children would fetch quite a price in New York City.

I have used Opera, and some Web sites still do not render properly

Never had a problem with Firefox , except websites that *Require* IE to work (and will work in nothing else)

It is -- nothing created in your lifetime will expire before the death of your universe.

My father-in-law ran into that, and had data blocked on his phones. Verizon is MUCH more reluctant to do this than AT&T was, but they'll still do it if you insist.

"If it's not cast it won't last"

Which version of Snow Leopard does all of that?

I've found it to be pretty good so far, on both my Mac and my wife's.

I've not heard of this other stuff. It sounds a little made-up, or at least cherry-picked.

At my college they solved that problem in the computer science and engineering building by making the entire front wall a dry erase board, from carpet to ceiling. :)

Most of the anti-AGW crowd is simply doing armchair, a-priori reasoning behind why AGW is false. "Humans are too puny to have an effect!" they say, or "The climate has changed drastically fast even without humanity being around!" Often there are political reasons for holding this position--certain arguments on how to deal with GW are certainly political in nature, and may come into conflict with one's own dogma, and thus psychologically one may be predisposed to oppose GW on that basis.

HOWEVER, that does not mean that some people that argue for AGW do not fit into the same shoes. Remember, just because you are "correct" does not mean your reasoning is. Naturally, someone that hates big business and "the man" may also psychologically have a reason to believe in AGW--another reason to rage on about the status quo.

If I was a betting man I'd bet for AGW, but really I know the science behind it is quite complicated and I know I'm nowhere near competent to make a good, solid argument on the matter, so I must approach the issue with a tempered agnosticism while leaning a bit towards the AGW side because that's the verdict by a vast majority of hard-working PhDs, and I highly doubt that climatologists consist of some dark, left-wing communist sect of economy-destroying conspirators. That is what true skepticism is, noncommitance (particularly emotionally) to a position particularly when you are not an expert on it. Many on both sides of the GW debate are not skeptics but reactionaries with their thought ruled by political underpinnings. Most of the people I know that rant about how AGW is a fraud no absolutely nothing about the mechanisms scientists go about acquiring the data on past climate conditions.

Why? Have you tried writing a dbus-aware program in C, and then in C#? There is a world of difference, in favor of the C# version.

But the problem has nothing to do with C#'s technical merits.

This irrational fear of all-things-Microsoft is out of control. There are good engineers at Microsoft, and some of them are even free software proponents.

The potential problem isn't the engineers, it's the lawyers.

Regardless all that, Mono is a GPL language, free in every sense.

No, it isn't. It's covered by patents.

The basic issue is: MS created a language, patented parts of it, but also said "We're not going to sue you for implementing this. Though we reserve the right to change our mind at any time". They also created a standard that might be safe, doesn't cover all that much, so most useful programs will go beyond that into the less certain patented territory.

You can write GPL/whatever licensed code all you want, if somebody has a patent on your algorithm that won't save you from the trouble.

That is the problem. It's not about C#'s technical merits, or MS's engineers' abilities, it's about what could possibly happen if MS decides to change their mind. And there's ample evidence of that getting involved with Microsoft too deeply is almost a guarantee for getting screwed.

I have FOI2009.zip and grep, so echo $SMOKING_GUN or shut the fuck up, bitch.

It's a good thing the kernel supports modules, so that the 0.1% of users that use this feature can still have it supported without any performance or memory usage detriment to the other 99.9% of users.

I'm a big fan of textfiles and would hate to see shit taken down. (Aside from J Random Douchebag's name, they have anarchy files with bomb instructions, etc. You shouldn't try them, but it has historical and comical value and censoring won't stop terrorism). I don't know or care what the incident was, but chances are I would think "that's cool" rather than "don't hire" given the context.

Darths & Droids makes a much better job of making sense of 1 and 2 I've long thought that TPM played like an OK RPG campaign FX the whole podracing thing happened because the GM had picked up some racing boardgame and was itching to use it.

If you look at the temperature from outer sky you might measure the heat emission from earth to outer space. The higher the temperature, the higher the heat emission. If a greenhouse effect is effective, it reduces the heat emission and thus the temperature. In this scenario there would be a lower temperature in the upper atmospheric region as long as until a new equilibrium is reached, with higher temperatures at the surface of the earth.

Reading through the comments, it stroke me the same. Van Eck phreaking can't be a problem because it provides literally the same information as exit polls.

What again is not a problem if one votes in densely populated area: emission from many voting machines would mix making it hard to differentiate a vote on a single machine.

It might be the problem with VIPs. But for the case one can really go extra mile and install proper shielding.
