It's "How to block Firefox" page just tells you to put simple code in your page to detect if "firefox" is in the HTTP_USER_AGENT string.
Technically, on Debian GNU/Linux, I am using "Iceweasel" rather than the official Firefox. This is my user agent string,
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070723 Iceweasel/2.0.0.6 (Debian-2.0.0.6-1)
Notice no "Firefox" in there. I have the Firefox Adblock extension installed in Iceweasel and have already escaped the trap without doing anything at all.;-)
Click here to get the latest prices on Linux distributions! Erm... free?
You can charge money to distribute free software. I am allowed to sell you a copy of the latest Unbuntu CD for a million dollars if I want. Remember that free refers to liberty, not price.
This comes right from the GNU website: "Actually we encourage people who redistribute free software to charge as much as they wish or can."
But when someone sends me a Word 2007 document, what do I do?
Ask them to send the document in a different format. Also, politely remind them that what they sent was stored in a proprietary format (yes, OOXML is proprietary), much like sending someone a document written in Latin and expecting them to be able to read it.
I make it a point to respond to every word document attachment with a request for information in a non-proprietary format, even if I don't care about reading it anyway (I get a few every week). However, you will find that 90%+ of people will completely ignore your request. I have only done this with personal e-mail, not business.
Unfortunately, fuels cells require platinum to produce. Not only is this expensive, but there is not enough known platinum on Earth to put a fuel cell in every car (not by a long shot). Until we find out a way to make fuel cells without platinum (or other rare metals), the hydrogen economy is going nowhere.
I guess its along the same lines as Cold Stone ice cream or the old Madden football games. Instead of the sensible terms small, medium, large they have "like it", "love it", "gotta have it". Madden has something like "pro", "all-pro", and "madden" difficulty settings, of which I never learned the correct order.
However, when I go into Cold Stone I am split between two difficult choices. One part of me wants to fight their manipulative size naming scheme and say "small" instead of "like it" while the other part wants to follow the clearly documented proper procedure in the customer-employee interface...
You are mistaken, the article is actually written for a merit badge by the boy scouts from the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). Those merit badges must be getting harder to earn now. Poor kids.

Or more than 128 light years.
Start wearing a helmet when going outside. I imagine pig droppings are pretty heavy.
Dude, have you even seen a globe or a map of the world? Nowhere near each other!
Source code please? If it is not available then they are a bunch of lametards.
Exactly! We are looking at a first derivative here: their current position (measured in some unit of liberty) over time, not their current position.
where k is a constant.

Humbug! All my life they have been telling me masturbation does the same exact thing.
Sorry, that should read,
Thats because /. has said that girls have trouble using them.
I think Brainfuck makes the most beautiful code of any language.
This one, er... uh... calculates Fibonacci numbers. Don't tell me that that is not the most beautiful code you have ever parsed!
I thought something like <:q!> would close all open tags. Of course, you may need a couple tags first.
/. users will also have trouble distinguishing between the and tags too.
I have never locked a bathroom door. If you really have a need to lock the bathroom door you should be looking for some new roommates.
