IANAL or a LS, but what is the EU's goal here? To shove other browsers in the faces of people who would otherwise be oblivious to their existence?

That's hard to do when people bitch and moan that the blue "e" is missing from the computer and then fidget whenever you open Firewhatever before they just ask you to just the "e" back in the upper left corner.
Those are the lost cause. Imagine trying to explain chmod or sudo to them.
Freshmen women are dumb and horny. They'll fuck anyone, all you gotta do is be a few years older, have a car, and step up to them. Just don't get your feelings hurt when you discover that you're not the only one in their dick queue. It takes 'em a year or two before they learn to be choosy, and that's when dating 'em is turns into a series of boring job interviews since they rarely have personalities or ability to discuss things other than what is happening immediately around them. Perhaps a chemical in their UGG boots causes their frontal lobes to atrophy.
Let them in, I say. The chauvinist male pigs have dominated the universities for too long. We should correct this by adjusting the admissions process so that all campus freshmeat^W freshmen are composed with a 3:1 Male-female ratio.
In a documentary for A&E Television Networks entitled 'roman polanski' (2000), Samantha Gailey Geimer stated "...he had sex with me. He wasn't hurting me and he wasn't forceful or mean or anything like that, and really I just tried to let him get it over with." She also claimed that the event had been blown "all out of proportion".
You may be right, but it's also possible that she embellished a lot of what happened to save face or for other reasons. Nobody wants to look like a whore in a "he said, she said case". Age at the time of the act means nothing, as kids are capable of lying and are even more susceptible to being "coached", especially when a lot of money is at stake.
I agree wholeheartedly. Society has become a self-hating dichotomy thanks to ceratin religions, which teache people to hate themselves and their urges which come naturally to them. Instead of recognizing them and dealing with them in a healthy manner, they end up repressing their urges and then snapping and performing acts like child rape. See also: Catholic Priests.
Much of the damage of rape comes not from the actual act (unless it was particularly violent) , but from all of the stigma and media circuses surrounding it. Parents freak out and yell, "OH, MY GOD!" and start screaming and crying, which dosen't help matters for the victim. Sex crimes are sexy - not to you and I, but to the media and to the prosecution who know they will profit from the circus, usually causing considerable anguish to the victim because rape is excessively emotionally-charged in our society.
People loved to foam at the mouth with regard to Roman Polanski, but they don't realize that things like that were widespread in funkier times. Even his so-called "victim", who consented and enjoyed the act, just wanted everybody to drop it and shut up about it. Gore Vidal dismissed the incident in an interview, saying , "Meh. That was the norm, and she was a hussy." Mick Jagger had sex with his friend's 13 year-old daughter and I don't see anybody wanting to cart him to the gallows. Pete Townshend was caught looking at boy porn and his music still graces the introductions of CSI shows! The people who love or hate Michael Jackson may not agree with what he did, but those who understand his childhood also understand why he's a weirdo.
We must end the cognitive dissonance in society and learn to see things for what they are. It makes no sense that we have a lifetime registrant list for rapists and not for murderers!
It's called climate change now. That way the dumbasses can say," We've never been at war with global warming, we've always been at war with global cooling"
If NASA flew 787's instead of the Challenger and the Columbia, we'd be on Mars by now.
If the Russian Navy operated a 787 instead of the Kursk, their sailors wouldn't be fish food.
If your mom used a 787 instead of a dildo, she'd have no more need for black men.
And the people who do love her are either horny schoolboys, clueless housewives, or dirty old men; and they all love her for the wrong reasons.
McCain should've instead picked Meryl Streep, at least her politician/MILF performance in Manchurian Candidate was much more convincing than Palin's real-life idiocy.
Having worked for a desktop/laptop repair contractor for Best Buy, I do not take even warranty service seriously (though I'm not bashing my former employer, we all were competent people who did the best we could even though people often had no resources or idea what was going on;)
Go into a BB store and look at their "no lemons" policy. If a new item has to be returned four times you get credit or a new computer. An item should have to be returned no more than once!
...And you never know when a popular chip maker will ship a bad batch out the door leaving the computer vendor's Indian or Filipino tech support to lie about it and try to blame it on the customer (ahem, HP). Meanwhile, my ancient Dell Latitude D600 still chugs along nicely after all these years, even after having been dropped, left in direct sunlight, and splashed poolside. I haven't even had to blow air through it yet.
It's a sad state of consumer affairs when older electronics outlast newer ones.

You misunderstood me, I did get it. And it was barely a step up from from, "Confucius say, man who stand on toilet is high on pot". I'm sure it appears to be "deep" to the geek who's never read any real literature. It's the Twilight of philosophy.

Zen and the art of Motorcycle Maintenance totally sucked in the same way Steppenwolf sucked, and not because it is "deep" and difficult to understand. Those books sucked because they are like Tori Amos songs - a bunch of "random" self-indulgent garbage which could be applied and interpreted and to mean anything. At least David Lynch's random self-indulgent garbage is somewhat entertaining.
Both of those books should be modded -1 overrated.
The new Star Trek was a hip prequel done right. Unlike that other "Star" franchise that ruined their legacy with wooden acting and "goo-goo ga-ga" infantilism.
That's B.S. Opioid painkillers and benzodiazepines* are where the money's at. Recreational abusers usually get their pills from their parents or from friends (I knew a healthcare worker who even took cuts from her patients' prescriptions) if not their own prescriptions -- as in, they sprained their ankle 2 years ago and still need meds for it;)
*Can't get behind the paywall to determine if benzos were considered to be antipsychotics
Antipsychotics are actually pretty lame. They kill higher-level cognition, reduce you to a slow-witted and brainless dullard, put you to sleep and make working out damn near impossible depending on the dosage. They cause reversible decrease in penis size, lack of libido, weak erections, weak orgasms -- in other words, permanent whiskeydick as long as you take the drugs. They are the perfect drugs for creating a zombie society suited to 1984 rather than Brave New World.
There's only 1 benefit to taking antipsychotics, assuming that you are not a raving lunatic who actually needs them: intense, vivid, profound, lucid dreams. YMMV.
