It's why I use Seamonkey, they don't change the UI willy-nilly, but it's Firefox under the hood.
Don't you mean it's XUL under the hood? I usually build firefox and thunderbird over xulrunner. Also, I use the ESR source, as it has all the security updates, yet is much more stable than regular releases.
I use btrfs for/home, and I'm currently in a place (high mountains) where sudden power outages are not uncommon. Besides power loss, there's a problem with fluctuations in voltage as well (this place doesn't have a UPS or even a stabilizer). So on a few occasions, the btrfs partition has refused to mount after encountering the above scenario ("parent transid verify failed on..."). But to be fair, that borked the root fs mounted on ext4 as well. I think I followed some instructions suggested on a stackoverflow thread, and was able to get full functionality back without any loss of data. I would say it has reasonably good fault tolerance. It is a bit slow compared to other more mature fs's, but still very satisfactory. Oh, and the kernel version is 3.12
And yet death row is filled with people desperate to exchange their impending deaths for life imprisonment.

I think it is the finality of it, and not being in control of one's destiny anymore that fuels such a desire. Our biological programming of survival must play a part, too.
Perhaps you need to find some real life friends and do some more outdoor activities.
It's quite annoying to see sentiments similar to this echoed whenever someone reveals they prefer an "online life" to a more traditionally held view of "a life". Why is someone's idea of fun/life inherently superior to that of another, simply because it involves close physical interaction with sentient/near-sentient biological entities? If they are satisfied with their lifestyle, and are comfortable with not going outside and enjoying themselves in the digital world, why should they be forced to confirm to others ideas? I see no reason to feel sorry for them. They adopted their way of living, it's their life. Why should that bother others?
In my country, the pharma cos have to bribe the doctors, rather than the govt. to get the sales of their medicines up. It is really convoluted, actually. If they don't pay a particular doctor, he/she will not prescribe that particular manufacturer's medicine to their patients. The doctor, after receiving payments (and this is not a one time, but recurring payment), will shove that particular company's medicines down the throats of his/her patients. After an year or so, it'll be the turn of a competing manufacturer to bribe the doctor, during whose approved period, no other manufacturer's stuff will be prescribed. And the cycle continues. This is true for private practitioners, resident doctors in hospitals and govt. funded clinics. The pharma companies have to bribe the local pharmacies as well, else they won't stock their stuff. Fucking evil, I say.
Don't know how things work in the Windows world, but in Linux, DNS records are not cached by default, are they, unless you've purposefully set up nameserver address caching? I don't think any distribution does it by default.
It's true that he is of Swedish heritage, but he was born and raised in Finland, and speaks the language fluently. The quoted bit makes no mention of ancestral stock, only that there exist human beings outside of the political boundaries of the country Finland, who may have the ability to speak Finnish.
When the technological state-of-the-art reaches a level where electronics are integrated into one's body, it'd be sefe to assume that self-driving cars will be the norm on the streets.

Just move to Japan. It will cure your condition.

How is the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act relevant in England?
Noah, you won't.
You have to be hung like a tapestry to understand fleshlights.
Blegghhh!! (as if there could be a more emphatic and appropriate response...)

HA HA HA! Indeed! I guess your overlords at the NSA supplied that bit of trivia to you, eh? Typical intimidatory tactics.

I thought there were some Finnish speakers outside of Finland
Indeed. Finland's police board must realise that the Finnish Wiki website is entirely for the benefit of Linus Torvalds.
