FF doesn't need admin privs to auto-update. What it needs is for the Users group to have read/write/modify privileges to the Firefox install directory.
The only thing that doesn't get you is updating the version number in Add/Remove Programs; the user will see the version increment, but I won't if I log on as myself.
Oh really? I'm aware of Louisiana having its own system derived from France's law code a couple centuries back, that New York law has a few remnants of Dutch civil law, and California having codified its laws (civil law style) but keeping the common law system.
I'd say it's you who are blowing smoke out your ass.
I doubt kids are really stopped from wearing "patriotic" shirts. More likely it's one of those memes from the conservative commentariat designed to keep their listeners afraid and angry, and thus more easily led.
Oh, don't get me wrong. The sort who wear the flag would probably think me unpatriotic because I don't ape the usual ways of "proving" to all and sundry that I love my country. I just expect them to walk the walk.
You're looking for "legal", not "OK". It's true that the Flag Code has no legal force (and I'm happy that it doesn't), but if one is going to be obnoxiously patriotic then one should treat the flag with respect.
This. It boggles my mind that the average loudly patriotic type is OK with utterly disrespecting his flag by wearing it as an item of (ratty) clothing, or by flying it in all weather without a spotlight, or by never replacing it once it gets torn and faded. I see that all the time in my area.
...and here in the States we have radicals who want to do away with the common-law system. They're the idiots who howl about "activist judges"; no doubt most of them don't understand what the end result of their desires would be.
It looks like most of the example applications were written by native Spanish speakers, have comments in Spanish, etc. Any good example source in English?
No they wouldn't. Bing got popular because it's the default in IE, and statistically speaking nobody bothers switching away.
Especially not now that MS had made it so hard after IE9 came out - you have to dig through a fuckton of minor search engines to find the one for Google, which they can get away with because they put them in alphabetical order.
You may argue "but idiots don't use Firefox!", except thanks to us/they do/. We've put it on our parents' computers and told them to use it instead of IE, to protect the computer.
You're laboring under the misimpression that fundies are necessarily rational. Not all fundies (probably a large majority won't) will go crazy over this 2012 doomsday prediction, but I guarantee you there will be some more mentally disordered ones who/will/, and who will be citing their Bibles the whole way.
It's not like we've never had some Christian fundies get into a mass hysteria and decide that the world would end at a certain date; it's happened many times in the USA since it was founded (at least 3 times this year), and in other parts of the world.

Why would it? FF4 and later don't support it.
Someone else is doing TenFourFox, a port: http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/

Because some powerful senator's got the benefiting private company in his district.
Nah. The right's been on a blame-Carter kick since around the end of Bush the Lesser's presidency.
*whoosh*

Body hygiene?
Of course judges can create law, and they've done so since the founding. It's called "case law".
No, I expect people who are all LOOK AT ME I'M SO PATRIOTIC to walk the walk.
Nowhere do I say so.
I say that the idiots who cry about judicial activism are asking for a system where we don't have the protections of common law.

A small tasteful patch != a T-shirt whose design is an enormous flag.
It's a bit like pornography, though; you know it when you see it.

It depends on the girl. Some of them are cautious enough (with reason) that you can't bring them to your place for the first date or two.
This is true, but the purse strings are controlled by Congress, which is where my statement comes in.
...and won't as long as the Republicans have at least 40 votes in the Senate.
That's not the Slashdot sensationalism we all know and despise, though, so your version wouldn't get posted.
My ISP and gas company charge me for paying with a credit card online, but it's still free if I pay using my bank's routing # and my bank account #.
One wonders if this is what Verizon is doing, or if they're truly dick enough to charge for bank transfers as well.
