A obama voting welfare recipient, a tea partier, and a teacher sit down to a plate of 10 cookies. The obama voting welfare recipient takes 9, leans over to the tea partier, and says "psst, the teacher is trying to steal your cookie"
FTFY
You are Bruce Tinsley, and I claim my five pounds!
Why are you naming the Republican party?
Oh, I don't know. Perhaps because Representative Brattin, the bill's sponsor, and Representatives Koenig & Bahr, the bill's co-sponsors are all Republicans?
What's the alternative? A sound of some kind can be very useful when taking a picture - making it unique is also useful, and it doesn't really matter if kids these days don't know the etymology. Ditto saving - it's pretty much an entirely abstract concept these days, but it still needs an icon.
I've noticed a disturbing sharp turn to anachronism in the tech field lately.
There's been no "turn" - there's just nowhere else to go.
Slashdot discussed this issue earlier in the year, for those interested:

The summary leaves out the interesting part: IE8 is the latest version available for Windows XP. And there's no place that XP exists more than business, education, and government. This is Google's way to get sysadmins comfortable with Chrome in the workplace.
Having read the FA (hanging my head in shame (which is stressing my youvh yypinh dkilld) ), it looks like this is only touching upon the web-access apps.
Does anyone know if there are Google Appliance apps, similar to Google Search appliances? I know that I've run across Google search appliances on small & large scales (various gov-controlled, closed networks), but I've not seen (or recognized) any implementations of their apps on these aforementioned appliances.
It seems to me that affecting _those_ networks would really be turning the screws on XP.

"...individual German Typhoons flew against single F-22s in basic fighter maneuvers meant to simulate a close-range dogfight.
The results were a surprise to the Germans and presumably the Americans, too. “We were evenly matched,” Maj. Marc Gruene told Combat Aircraft’s Jamie Hunter. The key, Gruene said, is to get as close as possible to the F-22 and stay there. “They didn’t expect us to turn so aggressively.”"
I don't doubt this report. However, my understanding is that the point of F-22 is to conduct its engagements at long-range and avoid these close-range knife fights. If the threat gets to dog-fighting range, the F-22s have screwed up and lost their greatest advantages.

But even for those few of us who claim to be complete skeptics, belief quietly sneaks in.
Nope. Not a bit of it. In my experience, only believers believe that everyone else must secretly be a believer. The rest of us live a fact-based life.
I agree with you 100%.
I'm a rationalist, I've convinced myself that organized religions are man-made for the enrichment of their power-brokers, I know that there is no evidence for an interventionist god in the modern world, and I'm am certain beyond a shadow of a doubt that astrology, crystology, pyramidism, and their ilk are without basis in fact.
Having said that, I will move heaven (ha!) and earth to ensure that I wear my lucky jockstrap when i suit up for the game on Sunday mornings.
If you don't have time to do it right, where are you going to find the time to do it over?
