Everybody "recognizes that we do not err out of laziness, stupidity, or evil intent," but those are still the reasons behind most errors.
I don't think the society has imposed an "impossible burden of trying to be permanently right" on anybody; it just imposes a reasonable burden of trying not to make mistakes because they are lazy, stupid, incompetent, untrained, evil, etc...
AFAIK, that's the whole point behind trials and parliament hearings.
One more thing, we can't rule out the fact that some people are stupid. To put it in the theory's lingo: the inductive reasoning of those people generates conclusions are probabilistically false.
I know that this is/. and nobody reads tfa, so here is what every other comment missed/ignored: Egypt is not copyrighting the pyramids. They are copyrighting exact replicas of any Egyptian monument.
From tfa:
the monumental Luxor Hotel in the US gambling capital of Las Vegas... was "not an exact copy of pharaonic monuments despite the fact it's in the shape of a pyramid."
On its website, the luxury hotel describes itself as "the only pyramid shaped building in the world," but Hawass said its interior was entirely different from an ancient Egyptian setting.
Firefox keeps closed pages in memory because their studies found out that more than 25% (as far as i remember) of average page visits are pages already opened in the same session.
However, Firefox limits its memory usage to a maximum which can be changed by user. Open about:config and change browser.cache.memory.capacity to whatever you want.
You can even disable this feature by flipping browser.cache.memory.enable to false.

I hope this is not considered spamming, but MegaGames have the full story covered from all aspects. (BBFC's and Rockstar's opinions as well as related incidents).
i DO hate yahoo mail.
i am forced to use it because my college mates are stupid enough to use a yahoo group for our college related announcements and discussions.
i like to use adblock as a voting button. I unblock sites i respect and wish to support.
hotmail is a free ad paid service too , but they allow me much more freedom. they even allow me to access my "free" email account through outlook and outlook express (which is bundled in windows) , and hence i wouldn't even get near the ads area.
btw : in yahoo mail , you don't get a 15k banner unless you have blocked the swf banners.
the way i see it , they are holding my emails and email address hostage, and forcing me to see their ads in order to access them.
my emails are rightfully MINE.i should be allowed to store them anywhere and access them anyway i like. both are my rights denied by yahoo.
