Parsec is a unit of distance, not speed

Have to agree somewhat with this post. There is a lot of flamebait on this whole article. It's really tiresome. People are using it for their personal 'soapbox' on left/right views.
Yawn

I stand corrected. Google is returning similar results. It must be a widespread conspiracy :P

I conducted some other tests on Bing
'windows worse than osx' returned top results on how OSX is worse than Window$.
'windows worse than linux' returned a similar 'pro Window$' result.
'windows more vulnerable than linux' did the same
It is fairly blatently pro-M$ in M$ vs. OSx vs. Linux type searches.
Anyone surprised?

Submission + - Web citizens trying to kill Internet Explorer 6

Submitted by motherpusbucket on Thursday August 06, 2009 @10:16AM

motherpusbucket writes: Interesting story at CNN about killing IE6. Ironically, I read it while using IE6, which we are forced to use at work.
'Some Web designers are staging an online revolt against an old version of Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser, which they say is hampering the ability of the Web to move forward in a cool and interactive way.

The designers say Internet Explorer 6, which was released in 2001 and since has been updated twice by Microsoft Corp., is crippling the Internet's potential and slowing down the online experience. They also blame IE 6 for giving webmasters a collective headache, because they have to write special "hacks" into Web code to accommodate an outmoded browser.'

The only health risk I can think of is sphincter damage if you get caught and sent to jail for 10 years.

That's hilarious. It's ashame that Window$ did not take the Intel slogan 'Intel Inside'. A sticker with 'Windows Inside' would be pretty much accurate.

How can they make that sort of statement about something as subjective as beauty? If you were to take a Victorian era guy on the street and show him women today, his opinion may differ completely. I'm sure there are some dudes out there today who would find a Cro-Magnon woman attractive. As a male, I resent being lumped in with the Geico caveman.
