What makes you think the ISP would allow you to plug multiple things in behind the modem? Chances are, they'll give you one address, one subnet, and expect your router to do the rest. You wouldn't be able to use a switch.
You can enable some hidden setting somewhere to show hidden files, but then it shows it shows EVERYTHING, including dot files. There's now way to get it to show/bin, etc but not.bashrc and stuff.
Your post completely ignores the fact that there is no objective evidence that this interface is better. Therefore, it becomes a change for the sake of change, something which is pointless and does nothing but confuses users. If they could make something that was actually an improvement, I could get behind it.
I'm not complaining about going 20mph to avoid hitting children. A lot of school zones have signs that say that the speed limit is 20 or 25mph when children are present. This one, however, has flashing lights to indicate when the limit is in effect, but when the lights are flashing, I never actually see children. To make matters worse, since it's photo enforced, I spend more time watching my speedometer. If it wasn't photo enforced, I could concentrate on watching the road and not worry that I'm actually going 21mph.
Two reasons why I wouldn't do that. First, the speed limit while the system is active is 20 mph. It's already painfully slow, especially if I'm already a bit late. Driving 15mph down a stretch of road is not fun at all. Second, going 15 in a 20 is sure to annoy the people behind me.
I have to drive near one of those photo-enforced school zones sometimes. I find myself looking at my speedometer more than I watch for children. The good news is that its part time (they have signs with flashing lights that indicate when its active). The only problem is that there are NEVER ANY CHILDREN when I go by.
I think its a great acronym. The RIAA, MPAA, and the other groups behind this bill are complete parasites, and I think they deserve to have a bill named after them.
It's really hit or miss. I find that when I have two homeplug endpoints on the same breaker circuit, I can get a solid 100mbps. On different circuits, I get 1-2mbps. Homeplug just varies too much between manufacturers and home wiring. If you find a homeplug product that works for you, go for it. Just don't expect it to be the best solution 100% of the time.
Because the top of the window is where the address bar should be. I expect to be able to easily drag a window around just like every other window I open up. This is especially nice on a multiple-monitor win7 system, since you can just drag a titlebar to another monitor, even on maximized windows.
The only problem is, Mozilla is like this too now. Everything they do, the community hates, yet they just won't stop making their shortsighted decisions.
And there are plenty of people who hate it but are not vocal enough to post about it. Then there are the people who will just use a different browser, or the people like me who need a new browser but now definitely won't use chrome because of not only this feature, but also the way google treats its users.
But with others (maybe not MS and Apple, but others) they give you settings. Firefox lets me have tabs above or below the location bar. You can't complain there.
Is this the same "design and artistic consideration" that has gone into Gnome 3, Windows 8, FF4, etc?
Your post also fails to explain why looking like you have 3 browsers open is a good thing. Why does that matter? Tabs have been a part of UI for years and years. Having multiple "browsers" open (even if they are in the same window) is reminiscent of the IE6 days where that was the only choice.
The whole "more than a few tabs open" is complete hyperbole. I've had over 200 tabs open in firefox and it still ran fine. Also, tabs under the location bar keeps the tabs closer to the content, making it easier to access. Chrome doesn't just put tabs on top of the address bar, it invades the title bar, making it harder to drag windows around and not letting me see the full page title.
Your post makes it sound like people didn't want features. People just disliked the new "features" because they were all terrible. Up until FF4, there was never a single feature added that I didn't like. In fact, many people ditched IE due to IE6's distinct lack of features.
Specifically, the summary says nothing about it being iphone specific, only that it requires accelerometers which are in a lot of phones and even many laptops.

Since when does iOS use a mouse?

The first thing everyone does after installing 11.X on a desktop platform is install a different Distro.

Of course that will not stop the vendors selling LED license plate frames and other gadgets destined to be busted on a myth busters episode.
I think they already did that. I don't know what the result was though.
I wish my 8MB Rage was on the list.
Many people (including me) would rather sit in traffic in a car than be on a bus for obvious reasons.

Those are the theoretical speeds. You never get anywhere near that under normal circumstances.

I can't even come up with a response to this.
Also, I only have 4gb of ram yet, as I said before, I sometimes open 200+ tabs. No crashes. And I even use some add-ons.

Exactly. Chrome violates UI design principles by refusing to have a titlebar like applications should have.
