Educating for me is not imposing any beliefs, it is exposing people to different points of view.
Religions generally doesn't allow you that, I hope you can see the difference.
I am still not convinced to religion as a placebo to all evil, look at countries with high level of atheism, they are usually better socially developed than the others. For me it is a good indication of what direction we should struggle to.
The fact that a majority of the people on Earth disagree with you demonstrates not only that it isn't obvious, but that you are probably just as irrational in your beliefs as those people are in theirs.
What are you trying to say is that the majority is always right, which is bollocks.
But at least they have the intellectual honesty to admit it's faith.
What are you trying to say? I always honestly admit that I don't care about deities, I'm an ignostic and happy about it. What's the difference?
For many people faith fills a void
You mean illusion as a cure? The same way the alcoholics find a relief in their abuse? Those people need help from other people, not from imaginary absolute power. I'm not denying them the right to belief in whatever they feel like, I'm saying that a religion is not a solution and it's better to educate people than let them spread the so called "truth".
Do you understand what the word "flamebait" means?
Now I do, apparently when someone expresses an unpopular opinion on slashdot.
Ok, but let's check the definition provided by slashdot:
"Flamebait -- Flamebait refers to comments whose sole purpose is to insult and enrage. If someone is not-so-subtly picking a fight (racial insults are a dead giveaway), it's Flamebait."

So let's all have the same opinion, Linux is great, open source rocks, Micro$oft is evil, we can download whatever we want, and it's just pirating, not stealing. Anyone disagreeing is a troll.
Bookmark keywords uses only one parameter %s, ubiquity is much more flexible.
For example, "tra[nslate] something to french"
Besides, you don't have to open a new tab for a result, just type "we[ather] madrid" and you get info in a small elegant console, it's faster.
You can change text with it. E.g., you're writing an email, and you want to change a URL to tinyurl. Select the URL, ctrl+space, type [tiny]url, enter. Voila, it's changed. I find it very useful.
What?? But ctrl+space is why I like it! it's like eclipse's content assist, handy and fast.
I love translating with ubiquity, it's just ctrl+space, tra shit to french. much easier than going to google page, focus the edit field, choose languages with a mouse, hit search, ugh.
It helps me to have two profiles of firefox at work - one for work stuff, another for private, with their own sets of bookmarks etc. I usually have them both open, and when I really need to concentrate, I close the private one.

Built-in tools in Chrome are much better than Firebug IMO. Just press F12. The layout is a bit different but after a while you won't go back.

That's the point here, the capabilities of our computers haven't scaled as fast as the hardware has.
You don't play games, do you?

Yeah mods, mod him down as flamebait because you don't agree with him, well done:/
I am not a native speaker and I learnt English watching Robin of Sherwood, thou insensitive clod!
There's a good application though, a datapad on your arm. Not necessarily flexible, just bended so it fits nicely.
Did it take you like 15 minutes to write it?
No need for censorship, if you have FOX news.

Better to use a laser cannon, an ion cannon would just disable electronics. Sir, hand over your geek card please.

I wish I lived in Belgium since they don't have a government there.
As my Belgian friend said, Belgium is the best example that a government isn't necessary.
Democracy was in Greece millennia ago, not here.
I'm sure the Greek slaves would agree with you.
The 11.5% from the link is too high. According to the wiki, the unemployment isn't that bad (7.5% in March 2008, 6.7% in August), even compared to other EU countries.
I guess some part of this percentage is working illegally, so the real number is even lower.
But it's true that Polish GDP per capita is one of the lowest in EU (not in Europe), and prices are relatively high, so it sucks.
putting your laptop on top of the charger would probably scramble the hard drive.
With SSD that won't be a problem.
Duh, does nobody recognize an obscure futurama reference anymore?
WELLLLSHIEEEEEEEEE!

And the answer is none. None more black.
