I won't use a 'browser' that doesn't have an integrated WYSIWYG html composer. It's in the tradition of Netscape for browsers to also be composers. In the early days of the WWW, the vision was that people would be creators and communicators, not just 'browsers' in the spirit of cows on a feedlot.

With Seamonkey, you can cut and paste off web pages to your local system in a fashion far more powerful than anything from Microsoft. Firefox is a gelded browser.
Heat management has ALWAYS been a Mac issue. Jobs made it a point of ideology with the Mac Plus that it would NEVER have a cooling fan. They'd identified cooling fans as an IBM (what they called non-Mac computers back then) thing. So there were expensive hardware upgrades like a muffin fan in a plastic shroud that you could shove down into the handle hole of your Mac Plus (the fan assy cost 300 bucks or so!) to keep the thing cool. It had to remain a third-party accessory because of ideology.
In the Government version of SimFarm, you don't even get out of the chair at your PC. The whole Sim involves filing for subsidies, and email exchanges with USDA clerks. There is a section with a simulation of a tractor, but you just go out there once in a spell and blow the dust off it before returning to your desktop to answer another query from the subsidy payout clerk at USDA.
'Voting for change' is like hoping that the weather will be 'temperature' outside tomorrow. The direction and magnitude were left off, for some reason.
Be careful with the insulation. Your house needs to change the air at a certain rate to remain healthy. Sealing the place up may cause health problems, mold, etc. There *is* such a thing as sealing your house too tight.
Actually, 'applying more insulation' often leads to disease and bad health. When buildings are sealed tighter and the air locked in them, things like radon gas become more of a problem. Along with formaldehyde and other pathogens. There has to be a 'building industry revolution' for energy efficient housing to work. Meaning entirely new structures and methods of shelter. It won't do to just shove tax at people to seal their current houses tighter.
I mean, you stick windmills at the major wind passages. Hmmm. Those are the bird's main flyways, too, huh?
Believe me, you can't trade off the birds for your 'alternative energy.' The birds are an integral part of the ecosystem. The electricity to heat your hot tub isn't.
And the terrible lack of understanding of physics by many of the loudest proponents of 'Global Warming' doesn't likewise cause you to throw the whole postion??
Oh, please. In spite of the right wing screeching about Obama being a far-left stealth candidate, he's a cleaner, more efficient Bill Clinton, without the personal ethical lapses to interfere with his objectives. He's headed down DLC lane.
Let me get this straight. You want Apple to port iTunes to Linux? Why not instead support third-party efforts to properly synch the iPod to open source operating systems?
The thought of a mandatory Quicktime install on a Linux box just makes me nervous.
You should see about getting a site license for XP Lite from LitePC.com. You can strip IE entirely out of any XP or W2K system using XP Lite. It's not free software, though, but you could probably get a site license and it would be worth the savings of not having to fix those IE-caused support issues.
You're all throwing around a lot of words like 'true' and 'free' here. Which is fun, don't get me wrong. But they're big words. I don't think you're handling the load very well.
True, but it looks like the tools for generating add-ons for X-Plane are free and bundled with the product (for a total price of $39.) So maybe nobody cares enough whether the Microsoft devs are paid or not.....

How could they miss Seamonkey?

You're forgetting that some of the louder proponents of 'big chang' to address global warming envision ideological side-benefits for those changes.

'nuff said?

The phones in my house have 'Bell System Property, Not For Sale' printed on the bottom. They're kinda like UNIX (of that same era) that way....
Now you're taking what started out as an ideologically motivated idea and amped the ideology up to 11.
I don't think that is the way to approach it. It works here in Advocacy discussions on Slashdot.
It isn't the approach to take with regular people.
Since I intend for my people to walk among the stars,
Gene Roddenberry is dead, man.

He probably got a big disproportionate tax incentive for buying the window. So it effects the other dudes' standards of living.
Long distance commuters aren't conspicuous consumers. At least not inherently so.
Don't liberally mix your opponents together.
Big Enterprise just cares about the bottom line.
And wind has a big impact on the birds.

Wish my ipod was encrypted.
Don't worry about that. You bought a brand-new iPod, and not some 'inferior third party player,' right?
And you always use the current version of iTunes to sync, correct?
"We're happy to say you appear to be in compliance, citizen. Please move along."

It's also quite possible that Microsoft would open-source windows but not make it Free Software.
Because Free does not mean open-source.
Software patents in a L-O-O-O-T of places are still not legal. And MS does not seem to have any real issues over it.
Believe me when I tell you that they would if every US-based customer of theirs no longer had to pay them a cent for their software.
That won't happen, of course, but if Microsoft could just airlift the whole operation to India, they would have already.

It'll be like the flood of 'battle robots' shows from the late 90s.
They have a contract that all nerds need to remain off-camera for those shows, don't they? Only the frat-boys allowed on screen.
