How about the builders who build the building and have to cut and drill through asbestos. How about the people who work in the factories which make the asbestos sheets used for construction. The point is you can't have everything made out of asbestos and not have people who have to work with it on a daily basis.
Launch in 1 second sounds like a good idea to me. Run for years doesn't. Turn your damn computer off overnight.
The vast majority of FF users don't need their web browser to be more stable that their OS, so I can't see the run for years thing being implemented any time soon (also how do you test this?).
If you're going to correct people at least get it right:P. The majority of early Christians (1st Century AD/CE) were Jewish originally. The reason for Sunday as the day of worship has nothing to do with sun gods but its the day of the week that they believed Jesus rose from the dead.

I second used bookstores being a poor metric. I'm a fan of Terry Pratchett and I've never seen anything of his on the shelves of a used bookstore near where I live. But if you want to buy one of his books new, all stores here will have the latest couple of books in stock and a random selection of his older discworld books.
Summary: only go by availability in new book stores of all sizes when deciding if a book is hard to get or not.
The discussion was on circumcision and you start spreading misinformation about condoms not working? They worked fine for me and I'm not circumcised. In fact condoms are one of the two forms of contraception with a 100% success rate, and the only way of preventing the spread of STIs.
As for Extra Large size, I'd wager that you use normal size at best. The vast majority of men use normal size. XL is just marketing.
Tell the father of a friend of mine that SSL is 100% secure. The exact hack you're saying can't happen did.
This friend set up his laptop so it appeared to have a stronger signal than the access point his Dad was connected to. This had the effect of making his Dad's computer route through my friend's laptop. He than ran a man in the middle attack, like you describe, and stored all the info of the transaction. I can only imagine how shocked his Dad was after he had finished his banking when his son told him his bank password and all about the transactions he had just made.
The moral of this story - don't trust wireless for sensitive data. Also check the certificates.
If there are fraudulent transactions a lot of banks won't do anything if you can't show that you took steps to prevent it. So stuff like not writing down PINs, picking secure passwords and with online banking using a firewall & anti-virus are important for that reason alone.
It's cheap, small, easily mass-produced, easy to use, 100% effective... It's called a CONDOM.
How I wish the various religious groups and governments would endorse proper sex education and provision of a plentiful supply of condoms, instead of pushing the abstinence only bulls---, which has completely failed.
Why do you need to have firefox open for 3 days at a time anyway? I'm not surprised the programmers haven't tested for your particular case, as it doesn't seem like a typical use.
It seems to be a standard defence here in Australia too.
In a recent enquiry, I think it was the AWB bribery enquiry but I'm not sure, the person doing the questioning lost it at one point and said something like "How did you become the CEO if your memory is so terrible?"
Why should a concealed carry permit give you special privileges with queue jumping at the airport? Also what is to stop a terrorist getting one of these permits? In case you've forgotten the 9-11 hijackers were all training to be pilots so it isn't that unlikely terrorists could get a concealed carry permit.
I don't think guns are the answer to aeroplane security at all.
Australia uses a similar system for casting votes and counting. Ticking or numbering boxes with a pencil is way different to having a machine punch holes in a paper ballot, and avoids any hanging chads or any of that crap.
As for scalability of counting, in Australia we get the election result on the night (except for seats which are incredibly close) a few hours after polling booths close.
I don't play D&D myself any more, but some of my friends do. They have a wiki set up for each campaign world, and they reckon its the greatest tool every for D&D. Character sheets, back-story, info about quests they've done, important NPCs etc. is all linked on the one site, and they can update it at their leisure between sessions to reflect what has happened in the campaign.
I think absolute good and absolute evil are appropriate for a fantasy world and a story in the style of an ancient legend. Post-modern ideas about bias and subjectivity and moral relativism can get stuffed, they have no place in Middle Earth IMHO.
I agree with the GP about those changes to the noble character of the good guys being harmful. I'll also add that I found the Golum trying to turn Sam and Frodo against each other annoying and completely out of character with how I remember the books. Their trust for each other and friendship should have remained.
I'll also agree with earlier posters that I liked the added family tensions with Faramir in the extended version. That is one change I thought did work well.
I would say the metering makes this a problem, but Telstra broadband isn't aimed at nerds. It's aimed at the average person who, let's face it, probably hasn't heard of open office.
We can see that Telstra is aimed at the average Aussie by examining what they offer in the way of broadband. Their plans are as a rule more expensive than what the competition offers (not sure how that works considering they are the wholesaler as well as a consumer ISP) and often come with hefty "hidden" charges (usually $0.15 per Mb referece) for going over miniscule download limits. The reason they get away with this is slick marketing and plenty of muscle politically from previously being the government monopoly telco in Australia. Many normal people think Telstra BigPond IS broadband, and don't know about other ISPs.
In contrast, nerds are aware that there are many ISPs in Australia (well at least in the capital cities) and can research plans on sites such as http://whirlpool.net.au/. The nerds, who would be likely to download open office, would generally be on better plans with other ISPs where the size of the open office download isn't going to be an issue.
Not enough people are able to say "I got it wrong" and change their minds and behaviour once they get more facts in.
I've always wondered why our politicians get criticised for "flip-flopping", "back-flips", "u-turns" etc. The way I see it, if public opinion changes, or new information comes to light which shows the old decision was bad then they should change their policy. "Toeing the party line" or "staying the course" isn't always a strength.

As an Australian I've only heard of Dartmouth and Harvard out of your list of universities.

The point is you can't have everything made out of asbestos and not have people who have to work with it on a daily basis.
I think you'll find there are some very compelling reasons that asbestos is no longer used. It causes cancer would be the biggest one.
Men have already been doing that for centuries.

And I'd say its been extraordinarily high in de-capita terms.

No but it will cause me a lot of frustration when I have to copy-paste that tag across the hundreds of pages in my project directory.

Nah its more likely because they have people like Detectives Thompson and Thomson working for them.
