The post I was responding to didn't mention desktop consumer OSes. It mentioned Microsoft's fear of FOSS, of which their lawsuit against Android demonstrates perfectly.
You must not have been paying attention to the Android lawsuits. Both Apple and Microsoft are gunning against it for that reason, because FOSS software CUTS into their profits.
And not Apple? This sounds more like a PR stunt than a serious offer, or an off-the-cuff remark he offered in an interview that some reporter's sensationalized. If Woz had intentions of returning to Apple, he'd probably phone up Jobs or another company exec, and not Reuters.
But the fact is, cars today are getting better gas mileage ergo people are buying less gallons of gas per mile traveled so in somebody's mind this means less revenue for highway maintenance since EV's aren't taxed at all and hybrids use even less fuel.
That's assuming you have a new vehicle. Those of us with older (and I mean 10+ years) vehicles can't really claim to have brilliant gas mileage.
The majority of inmates in Gitmo are there because they don't properly fall under the Geneva Conventions definition of POWs. They're not linked to nations, but extra-national organizations. So there's no precedent for what to do with them, which is why it's such a big mess.
Yes, an amendment to the Constitution could do just that. Amendments have changed portions of the Constitution before, try reading up on the ones starting after #10.;)
Can I be the first person to actually like this feature idea? I may not be interested in using it, but I can see the appeal for sure. And I don't see why websites like Facebook and Twitter wouldn't try to take the most advantage of this as they could.
It's innovation, guys. Sometimes we have to change our rigid world view to get something we never thought we would like. Even if this feature doesn't become well loved, it doesn't mean that it can't evolve into or inspire another one that will. Firefox is innovating, that's a good thing, it's something that has been lacking for a few versions now (besides their GUI refresh).
You can always turn off Firefox updates. You can run FF 0.8 if you want, if you can find it that is. There are probably still people on Firefox 2 and Firefox 3(.0), even as the current version is 3.6.
I don't think 8 year olds are allowed on Facebook. It's 13 and above, last I checked. Larry Page or Sergey Brin would be more worthy heroes, I'm sure the kid uses Google at least once a week, versus using Facebook never.

Help fund ReactOS, then.
The traditional desktop still has to go through the retarded METRO start window.
How much longer until Macs run iOS?

...in a granny's diaper. What the hell do you THINK that is?!
You have way too much time on your hands. :sagenod:

It's amazing that no one ever says that to the Jews.....
What is that, like Inverse Godwin's Law?
Radioactive travelers were discovered at O'Hare airport that same week.

If I had mod points, I would rank this up. +1 to you, sir.
Consider the headache at H&R Block if that happened.

I hope you're getting paid for that marketing pitch. Effin' fanbois.

Off topic much? Go rant about real world companies elsewhere, this is about internet browsers.
Considering Facebook changes their interface so often, I can see why this could be a problem. At least on Firefox it'd be consistent. ;)

What is this 'girl' you speak of?
I think Star Trek had a warning about his one. http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Miri_(episode)
That explains the walrus mustache. No respectable late-20th century man would wear such a thing. Oh, and the beret.
There really is.
