That's actually a good thing. Light is very distrubing at night sometimes. I always complain there's too much light around so I can't really see the stars anywhere near home.
In my memory, there is a checkbox during installation process that asks you if you want to have IE bar or not.
Unfortunately, they enabled it by default. So, read before you click next.

It doesn't affect you as much if you totally ignore ads in a way that you don't watch or read them. Or turn your head to something else when you see those.
It does have a little affect if you actually see it for a snapshot of time, but since you didn't look or listen the details, it ends up that in your mind, it's not much diff from some brand you totally don't know, except that you may have the curiosity to try it.
Well, if you talk in terms of OS, then the option is obviously dependent on what servers you have access to. UI though, including the web side, I find Java much less handy (or overly complex sometimes).
But then I haven't use Java for UI for a while now. May be usability have improved since the introduction of JavaServer Face matured, or may be they now have better development tools.
And, I never said Java is irrelevant in my last post. I use jEdit, Azureus, OpenOffice etc., and had also written some simple tools in Java. So I definitely won't say it's irrelevant. I'm only saying that I prefer.NET when programming UI, according to my own experience.
Probably another funny work done by the communists' marketing department. Even if this project promote such thing, they can just block his project instead of the whole sourceforge.
This group of people (the communists' marketing department) are well known in the Chinese community to be very backward compare to the general population and even the upper level of the communist government.
Recently, their actions in banning medias etc. are so not in line with the top government officals. One example is that this group of people try to ban a journalist/analyst from getting journalist/analyst (etc.) award in mainland China, while some top officals in government actually wrote to the journalist and express high agreement to his writing and encourage him to continue writing.
This group just do weird things that nobody understand...
Being fat or not is different from having good genes and bad genes though.
Genes is something you don't really have a control in naturally.
But being fat, smoke or not etc. is *your decision* in most cases (yes, I know there're some medicine use can get you fat easily, but that's some exception cases). It is totally not fair to make other people who choose a healthier life style to pay for your own fault. It can also stress out the public health care system for countries with better public health care system and have a lot of fat people.
Actually, the western world does interfere. You can be sued if you "insulted" somenoe when his idea is "evil" in your eyes. And you're "spreading hate" if you speak of some "hate" that's natrually a product of history even if you're not going to do anything extreme. Basically, these "sounding good" law is not only not solving any problem, but boost the hate and disagreement and let it increase over time because of the control in speech. If you believe something and "respect" someone that you see as wrong, you're just not believing in something strong enough, or it's just matter that you don't really care.
You remind me of something I experienced in university.
I was working in a group assignment in a group of 5 and 2 of them are female. They coded together, finished their components, and then left to sleep.
When us 3 males reaches our system test stage, we found something that doesn't work, checked our code for long and couldn't find any problems. Then we turned to their code and found out that they've changed the API we've agreed on earlier without notifying us. Yeah, their code works together, but not with ours...
Then a little later after we fixed our code to match their API, similar event happens. After a long time of debugging, we found them passing a string [code]"EMPTY"[/code] where we earlier had an verble agreement to use an "empty string".
Entertaining, but not that fun when you're facing a tight deadline...
Er... You really should have some confidence on yourself. Laptop should always be kept near yourself - lock it up or bring it around when you're moving to different places out of home/office. The possibility of this happening is really not that big if you care about your laptop in the first place...
Yeah. The real number really doesn't make a different. What's important is that Firefox's share is big enough to drive IE on the road of development and closer itself to support the standards more than before, whcih is definitely a good news for people who need to play with markup and stuff at work.
But for most people, they don't turn on their computer just for that anyway. They just let it run as screensaver when they're away for a while, or they let it to make use of unused CPU cycles while they're working or doing other stuff. It's not like they're using extra electricity.
You got the province and city swapped...

Earthquake In China
·
· Score: 2, Informative
The article says it's "Sichuan city of Chengdu". The fact is that "Sichuan" is the province and "Chengdu" is the provincal capital.
Luckily, the centre of earthquake is just very close to ChengDu (a hundred something kilometres from it) but not right there. Otherwise the no. of death/hurt will definitely sky rocket.
The western world, especially north America does have a trend of controlling the freedom to express your negative feeling against others just because it may hurt other's feeling, not noticing that they're already hurting the want-to-speak person's feeling and increasing the hate level at the same time. It's just controlling problems to float to the top of water and naively thinking they've solved the problem.
Though many highly educated people don't want to stay because of the current environment, Chinese culture gives Chinese people a very strong tie to their country no matter where they are, and how long they stayed in foreign country. Both People Republic of China and Republic of China (now in Taiwan) was leaded and formed by foreign Chinese.
In a short term, it'll slower down China's growth (but then one reason that those people leave is that the competition inside China was too high, they have more "chance" outside the country). But in a long term, it'll form a connection network between China and foreign countries.
Foreign countries continuously use foreign Chinese as a bridge to enter Chinese market. While China do the same thing.
I guess it's not neccessary a bad thing to have people leaving the country because the population level is already way higher than a healthy population level. China only have around 45million of population traditionally since around 2000 years ago all the way to the middle of the last dynesty. These 1.3 billion people is totally not what this land can maintain healthily.
I totally agree with you. In fact, considering the market value of OpenJDK, OpenSolaris, OpenOffice.org etc., not only you can't say they've a poor history of open sourcing softwares, instead, they've a good history of doing so.
They're a business, you can't expect them to spend huge cost developing stuff and then disclosing everything to everyone to use. It's not like they're making mySQL close source nor are they goign to stop developing mySQL, they're just adding more "advanced" closed source features for Enterprise. Who knows if they'll put more human resources into it?
Don't be purist. What's better is better. If Google doesn't do the filtering, people in China will have one less choice, and the communists have one less engine to monitor.
Even after force of gravity is "discovered", your example is still "the way things are". And gravity itself is also "the way things are". By scientific research, you just know more and more about "the way things are".
To find religions that accept "that's the way things are", look at east Asia (esp. Taoism) as religion over there is highly philosophical. Anyway, who knows if "the ways things are" are the rules created by god or not? Some people believe in it, some people don't. Both camps are religion because believe in god or not is itself purely a believe.

If you talk about developing a UI though, no matter if you're talking about light client (web) or heavy client, I personally like .NET better.
And companies are not even using IE7 yet, in general.
