I started using it today, it's excellent.. good background info at http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/ I use triple monitors and ability to drag a tab out is something I have wanted a long time. Also, using separate processes for different tabs is so obviously the correct approach, if FF codebase wasnt such a pig to work with someone would have made this change already.
I cannot get to slashdot from firefox due to some fucking starwars ad, was able to access it using a windows vmware installation with IE. Great, just great guys, slashdot only useable under windows for me right now, congratulations. Anyone else experiencing this ?
There's no paradox at all. If you ask a girl out on a date she might say yes. Promising that you are not going to cut her up into little pieces and eat her raw over the next 2 weeks does not improve your chances. People are rightly suspicious when they hear someone state explicitly that they are not planning on doing something evil. Economists are always coming out with nonsense like this.
Calling it silly paranoia does not make it so. It's not paranoia, it's justifiable fear. For instance, had 9/11 attackers decided to concentrate on the holding areas of nuclear power stations, a good chunk of the eastern US could have been made uninhabitable for the next 5000 years. When I hear people say "trust me, all those things that went or nearly wrong in the past can never go wrong in the future" it doesn't give me a warm glow anything like as profound as that caused by nuclear waste.
Wow, what a cunt u r. He was talking about a personal experience. You can choose not to believe him but not all personal experiences are recorded and have a url [although a depressingly large proportion do thanks to fucking facebook etc]
Ghandi did break the law, repeatedly. Mainly "inciting unrest". I don't know anything about MLK, but I would be very surprised if he didn't too. Unjust regimes rarely allow pressure for change to be applied against them without making that pressure illegal.
To my mind your view of history and politics is astonishing. What is most astonishing is you seem to believe you have a reasonably deep knowledge. What books have you been reading ?
Being anti-pedophile doesnt give you a free pass for being a fucking moron. There's a difference between thinking about something and doing it. Actual child pornography has a direct link to child abuse [no producer without consumer] so is rightly banned. Simulated child pornography does not. Making simulated child pornography equivalent to actual child pornography means that people who currently find a harmless outlet for their sick impulses can no longer do so. They would no longer have an incentive to opt for simulated images over real images which would directly lead to more actual child abuse. So, "would someone please think of the children" goes both ways.
I don't think "slowed things down" deserves the quotes. For some types of development running AV makes a system almost unusable. Then one just sticks the developer LAN on a separate firewalled group and use common sense, backups and the power of ridicule instead of AV software.
Thanks.. I'm so sick of this story being told wrong. TFA had it wrong again of course. People's intuition told them not to switch, and if one does not specify that Monty *always* opens a bogus door after one makes initial choice one is right not to. If one played with someone on the street for money, they would only offer you the chance to switch if your inital choice was wrong. Vos Savant got it wrong. Most of her critics were also wrong, [their intuition was right, but their justifications were wrong].
I'm with you on the spying/freedom thing. Gas prices on the other hand: its good that we pay so much tax on the damn stuff, gas should be expensive. The fact that gas is so expensive means we have vaguely working public transport and fuel efficient vehicles. You're paying $4 a gallon.. good, you should be paying at least that, its just a shame you haven't been paying that much for decades. If you had your infrastructure would have developed in saner ways and you might be in a better position to face peak oil. As it is, so many people live > 20 miles from where they need to work, and food/goods distribution is so energy intensive its really going to get ugly.
Wow, it must suck to be you, but my post wasn't aimed at proper blue collar workers who if they are so strapped for time could probably find more rewarding past times than getting into flame wars on slashdot. People who genuinely cannot make ends meet unless they work 12 hours a day, eg minimum wage people with families and I have a lot of sympathy for but they are almost by definition not on slashdot.
> Ever think what would happen to the world if those who didn't take on said challenges all got up and quit?
It would contain fewer pissed off assholes, and those willing to do the work would earn more.
> If you spend twelve hours at the office and three hours a day communiting
Then you should reappraise your lifestyle. Personally I spend about 7 in office and 0 hours commuting because I work for myself and 7 hours of quality time is more productive than 12 hours from a sleep deprived zombie who would notice how degraded his performance was if only he wasn't so chronically sleep deprived. Of course, there are people who function well on very little sleep at certain tasks, but contemplative life changing choices can almost never be properly made by the sleep deprived.
> The U.S. only had to take one more step - starve the prisoners and put them in gas chambers
Um, sure, but that's a pretty significant step isnt it. "You're just the same as those guys who went round massacring the jews, except for the actual massacre bit..."
The actual text maybe copyrightable, but one still has fair use, one can excerp bits and rewrite other parts. This ruling does not stop people drawing attention to the fac that they are being bullied. It's daft but its not fatal.
Yeah, well, when I was about 8 my parents bought me an actual crossbow at a stall in Italy. The bolt had an iron tip that would embed about 1/2 inch into solid oak. Everyone was a bit upset when I fired it at my older brother causing an 8 inch bleeding scar where it grazed across his back. In my book its getting towards a nanny state when you're not supposed to buy lethal medieval weaponry for 4th graders but I guess people have their own standards.

Yeah, that was the shortest march ever.. "WHAT DO WE WANT ?"

No, for almost certain death in hick towns just wear something
which mixes the two genres..

That'll do it
wow, now next time i need pie to 7 significant figures, I only have to remember 6 numbers instead of 7
You mean yes and no
I think you mean "sacred". Don't mean to nitpick, but
if you write an article about the importance of a single
word, it helps to use the right word.
