microscopic ray guns built into every pixel that fire tiny repulsor beams into your fingertips as you type, creating the illusion of feedback.

Thanks. I'll give it a go, but the trouble is that the problem isn't so easy to replicate. I have one PC it happens on and one it doesn't- both XP - both Firefox 3 release - same ADD-ONs.
People get "bent out of shape" because something that worked well for them has been taken away and replaced with something that (for them) works less well, is less intuitive (when I'm in a URL entry box, I don't expect to have searches on titles), looks awful (that two line layout is not nice to read, despite having pretty colours) and does not allow a return to old functionality. If "awesome bar" had been an option, then there wouldn't be a fuss. But the developers seem to have decided they know what is best for the users and because they have made this great new thing it should be shoved down their users' throats. Last time I had this happen to me was Clippy - but at least you could turn that wonderful new functionality off!
As we can customise the interface, the awesome bar could exist alongside the address bar so that you could drag one or the other into your interface to use.
It also has new weird behaviour like the right mouse click sometimes deciding to select random items off the right click context menu. Still can't find a workaround for this...

When I'm driving my car and I turn the steering wheel right, I expect the car to run right, without having to think about exactly how all the rods and pinions and bearings and whatever are making the car turn right. Sure, I need to know that the more I turn the steering wheel, the tighter I turn, but that should be it. Why should a programming language force me to think about low level implementation details that are nothing to do with the algorithm I'm trying to write?
Europeans live in tiny countries and don't drive near as much or as far.
Perhaps we don't drive as much or as far because it is more expensive here to do so. It's not as though you need to drive across 15 states each day just as we don't need to drive from Italy to Finland every day.
Perhaps you guys just need to learn to live closer together so that you don't have to commute 100 miles to work each day.;-)
maybe now... but with the advances in generating life-like graphics (still and video) what happens in the (near) future when you can no longer tell the difference between a computer-generated scene and a scene filmed for real and involving actual abuse?
Or they could just release the Chinese region DVD with only chinese soundtracks and chinese subtitles... that would be a much more effective protection for most people!:-)
It used to be that only NASA or the Air Force could do such things.
WtF? It used to be that NASA and the Air Force had a strangle-hold on spaceflight. They were the only ones who could do such things. Ugh, this annoys the crap out of me.
Yeah, what about the Russia, Europe, China and India, all of whom can do "such things":-)
I've seen sites that ask for adult verification via a credit card number but how do you verify that a minor is a minor? See if they don't have a credit card?

humans have difficulties with numbers, especially larger numbers.
Yeah, lucky my phone number is just one digit long. I'd be in real trouble if it was like 7 or 8 digits or longer...

Run legacy Access databases....
The Judge also wants him to cough up $43,000 to cover the Bar costs because the whole thing was so outrageous.

It's a hell of a lot of hot coffee ! ;-)

That is what they are doing. They are defining the kilogram as X silicon atoms.
Oh God! We're back to the earlier boobies thread again...

nope - the pop-up menu doesn't even appear even with the mouse button pressed continuously. It just picks an item to execute.
It also has new weird behaviour like the right mouse click sometimes deciding to select random items off the right click context menu. Still can't find a workaround for this ...

I can't directly affect whether we go to war or not, but I sure as heck can give our soldiers the tools they need to come home alive.
Of course, one could argue that if "our soldiers" didn't have superior weaponry then they might not go to war quite so often...
c'mon guys! really!
