By that reasoning, we should all still be using tape drives which if I recall are like $50 for around 1 TB or more. I'll switch when I don't have to worry about SSDs fizzling out because of too many writes, which I believe is still a problem.
Or, you could just lock a whiz-kid in a room until he designs you your own made out of PCV and duct tape, just like SeaQuest's Stinger

I would hope to some heavenly being the IE/FF/Opera/Other randomly stupidly named browser consumes more resources than whatever OS it runs on. Something is seriously awry if your OS requires 200 - 300 MB. Then again, I guess they are being naive, and throwing services into that mix.
I was under the impression that was Google's strategy. Everyone gets to be Google's beta testers for free and use their "awesome" services. Companies that want to pay Google for their own hosted version of Google apps get to have a version that was forked off whatever they put out in public for free and "stabilized."
I may have no idea what I'm talking about though.
An inefficient beauracracy foisted upon us by excessive government regulations regarding privacy, Joit Commission regulations, and foolish other things. I'm all for government regulation of healthcare, but only where it makes sense, like ensuring people can cash out reasonably on insurance policies and safety standards.
but didn't you just type into the address bar of the old tab. If it remains as what you typed,it does not reflect the address of the page you typed. If it changes back after you press ctrl-t, hidden elements in the UI are changing their state. I would think neither is ideal.
ahh, but what happens when you want to open something you've typed into the address bar in a new tab. The analogy breaks down, because in theory, you now have 2 address bar's with the same address typed in, 1 hidden and one for the new page. I think it makes much more sense for there to be a single address bar that just happens to interact with the tabs.
And yet, with every new version of Pidgin, I find myself liking it more and more, and with every new version of KDE I find myself liking it less and less. Ok, I exaggerate, but most of my annoyances with KDE 4.0 persist into.1. And I have neither the time or the inclination to poke around and try and fix it myself. So I second that ubuntu experience can be much more peaceful.
That is an oversimplification. Permission was never granted to simply spy on citizens. The point is that its a bad thing when your eggheads in a dark room somewhere have to take off their headphones and turn off their recorders when the terrorist they are watching happens to call someone in the US.
Yeah, but you can only get like 1 CD now. Now if only the distributions that actually ship with tools to configure themselves (I'm looking at you, Ubuntu PulseAudio) would jump on the bandwagon.
So, I think any rational person would agree Iraq probably has not nuclear weapons, however, as for WMDSs, generally that category includes chemical and biological weapons. Saddam launched mustard gas as the Kurds regularly. Chemical weapon if I ever saw one...
Indeed, all verbs can be nouned, and all nouns can be verbed. How often have you heard someone say they are going to xerox or google something. In lieu of this fact it seems the owners of ask.com royally screwed up when they picked their name.
Believe it or not, the US is actually the largest manufacturer of goods in the world. I think it was TIME that actual ran an article about it last week. The only issues is the US produces very little in consumer products which is what everyone sees.
Yeah. I was speaking in general so I would say yes, although, I have a great deal of respect for the BBC News at least. Every so often I watch it and I am struck by the feeling (irrational or not) that they aren't trying to shock me. Then again, it could just be a different presentation style that I'm not picking up on.
I agree, although I don't think I would be particularly quick to judge any account of conditions in a prison based on any form of media, since I believe there is a tendency to sensationalize and "make mountains out of molehills."
Of course its not un-American. But its not new, or slow, its actually quite old. Lincoln suspended the right to Habeas Corpus during the civil war. Sometimes steps have to be taken, and I think we would all agree the Civil War turned out as well as a war can be expected to turn out.
Showy, dramatic and expensive are exactly what the US psyche demands. And we definitely got more than Velcro and non-stick frying pans. As the good Tom Hanks said in Apollo 13, we got computers that can fit in a single room. There was a great deal of advanced electronics and aerospace technology that was developed. Velcro is the best known item to be developed, but to suggest that's all we got is taking cheap potshots at the space program.

Yes please... I call dibs on the blue Demon that took over Fred in the last season.
Er... what is this Angel you speak of.

er... we must berate them for everything they do, no matter how logical.
Why not? The Constitution is really more like guidelines than actual rules and stuff.
Of course it is, and I'm pretty that it was designed that way.

I mean seriously, all the good KDE applications can't even port to Qt 4.
But in all seriousness, still waiting on all the good stuff like amarok and k3b to be ready for KDE 4.

McCain is a closet liberal. What you think of as republicanism, I call libertarianism.
