In particular, tabs = MDI with the internal "Window" menu expanded inside the frame.
I remember all the flak Opera users got for the MDI from Netscape and IE user back then (around ver. 2.12 which was the first I bought)... funny how things change. The main reason the Mosaic family (Netscape pre-6, IE pre-4) didn't use MDI was just that it was an X11 codebase and X11 did not use the MDI paradigm.
Plus, later Operas let you use one window per document instead, if you so desire. Or mix tabs and separate windows.
You wouldn't make soft-core porn and call it "music videos"... You wouldn't engage in deals with record store chains in order to squeeze out smaller record companies and artists not signed to the Big Four... You wouldn't send in the lawyers when an artist gets busted for using or possessing drugs so he gets three months at Betty Ford instead of the prison time mere mortals can look forward to...
Nah, to ensure the filter can be used by anyone they will mandate Windows and prohibit the sale of such "filter circumvention programs" as Linux and Mac OS X. Only goodfacts for Autralians.
Communist day-care-based societies would disagree: The State IS a good substitute for the randomness and individuality of selfish parental child-raising.
These are also keen on filters that can protect children and other citizens from non-good opinions. I mean, porn.
So? The founding fathers also thought that having a professional army was a waste of taxpayers' money and that they instead should arm Joe Public to form militias. And look where you are now: A HUGE professional army "defending" around the globe while the 2nd Amendment has been twisted into something that gives a possibility for people to "go postal" or "do a Columbine".
That's why the producers sat down with the studios and got in writing exactly how they plan to end it, and how many more episodes they are doing.
There is a danger it could end up like Babylon 5: Planned for a five-year arc, told to end it in four, then having the studio change their mind so you need a year of filler before the ending you actually wanted...
Maybe there should be a warning that installing a new version means... um... you are installing a new version.
Well-behaved upgradable software saves enough information to be able to revert - in particular if it is a TRIAL!
Maybe you like bad software instead? Maybe you even write bad software? Maybe you like driving nails into your hand as well? Don't expect others to be as forgiving.
The power of the mercantile guilds in England was so strong that a certain Scot's treatsie on free market economics was banned there because it attacked mercantilism and guilds...
Yes it's better to leave book bans to school boards and the like. "Harry Potter promotes witchcraft" and all that American jazz. George Orwell's 1984 was attacked by American pressure groups as communist propaganda. See the irony there?
Or were you really saying that the CIA, makers of the CIA World Factbook, are left-leaning? Someone tell the prez!
But since the atmosphere is heavy in CO2 without that helping much we would need stronger greenhouse gases like hydrocarbons and "coolants" like CFC. Not exactly easy to breathe in - once temperatures rose high enough that they weren't liquid.:)
So if you live in Smallville, Indiana but do all your shopping in cheap Bigmall outside town instead of more expensive local stores, should you be chased out of town for not buying local as well?
American consumers get cheap goods because they are manufactured in China. Should production be moved back to the States the prices would go up, which consumers might not like. "Buy American" is a slogan for a minoritybecause it means "buy expensive".
Maybe he thinks "America" is something that stretches form Terra Fuego in the south to the frozen wastes of Canada in the North?We are geeks: We need precise term and the popular definition of American as someone from the United States is not that.
Also, he has a point: Employers shopping for workforce in cheap countries is no different from a consumer choosing to buy cheap products at a mall store than a more expensive and smaller local store.
The dumbest persons alive are the people who think that "hire American" will work any better than the car industry "buy American" did.

I think there is an implied "as covered by the First Amendment to the Constitution" after "censorship" in the debate here.
Nah, Opera started ages ago as a research project in Norwegian telecoms company Telenor for an interface to CD-ROMs. No Gecko or Mozilla there.

Oh I agree drug use should not lead to jail time. All I am saying is that artists should be treated the same as others - whatever the punishment is.
Also add:

As countless religions keep arguing, just because you don't observe something (ie. God, unicorns) doesn't mean it does not exist.
Y'all gotta have FAITH.
Nope.

And the difference to your kinds wanking off to internet porn and you wanking off to the latest paper-and-ink Playboy magazine is WHAT exactly?

So. Which ideology won the Cold War again?
Maybe he shoulde have phrased it differently so as not to invite such comments as yours. Try this:
"The English speaking world started using it[/adopted the practice] as cure to masturbation"
You forgot to add "four-eyes" at the end there.

We need a "-1, Redmond lapdog" moderation.
And the socialist. Remember, Berthold Brecht, a socialist, wrote "Mack the Knife". Knife? See?

In the spirit of the troll starting this thread, that would be a "lesser evil" then... :)

I tried installing Silverlight on my Mac, but the install exited with a message that I needed Mac OS X 10.4.8 or higher.
I have Mac OS X 10.4.10 - like most people who installed the latest patches.
I guess the six-character string "10.4.1" is less than the string "10.4.8"...
But since the atmosphere is heavy in CO2 without that helping much we would need stronger greenhouse gases like hydrocarbons and "coolants" like CFC. Not exactly easy to breathe in - once temperatures rose high enough that they weren't liquid. :)
You should of course switch your business to a field where there are lots of American workers. Say, create a fast-food restaurant chain...
