I've had a problem since upgrading, but it has nothing to with the quality of Firefox. Each tab has it's own button to close it now, instead of one button on the right. I find myself unconsciously moving my mouse button to the top right when I want to close a tab now. Is there an add on that brings back this functionality to those amongst us who don't like change?
Stability wise, 2.0 has been rock solid for me. It seems a bit more polished, but then again that could just be a placebo effect of seeing a shiny "2.0" on my software. So far so good!...
Dork, most astronomers who go to school learn in fine detail what a plasma is and how it works. Speaking as an astronomer, if you don't understand plasma physics then you don't have any right to call yourself an astronomer. Do you think Astronomy is just a bunch of lessons on how to use a telescope?
I was more interested in some of the real articles linked from that page, such as "Chemicals in curry, onions may shrink colon polyps". I sit so long at my computer, it really aggravates my hemmeroids. Talk about news for nerds, and stuff that matters!
By saying that, you confuse "sound scientific theory" with "just a theory" or "cockamamie theory", which is what the public thinks when you say "It's just a theory". It's strong enough of a theory that it might as well be fact for all intents and purposes. Quit giving ammo to the luddites.
Don't you know Canada is a (mostly) discrimination-free country. If he was in Winnipeg, it might have been because he's native, but otherwise, it's a crap shoot who they intimidate.
Citizen cops would be an even worse idea... They would lack training and make different, even worse mistakes. I think officers should be treated the same as some police cars. Have a camera and a microphone attached to a recording device, and have it always on. If they can't account for several hours, or arrest someone while the camera is off, they get fired. Period. That sort of scrutiny should solve most problems.
Or if I'm feeling beneficial, they tell me the problem, I have a general idea of how to fix it, so I google the problem and forward them some relevant links. It takes 30 seconds to do, and gets them off my back. I only intervene in person if it's actually a serious problem, such as impending failure of hard disk, or power supply failure.
I take family that refuses to learn, and leave them to their own devices. They were smart enough to get into this mess, they can figure their way out. At most I would give them URL's to self-help websites and the like. It's given me a lot of peace of mind, and a few relatives that now "get it".
Yes, I'm irresponsible because I became disabled and lost my ability to work at my previous profession of 10 years. The bad credit rating was ths shit hitting the fan when I couldn't work. I doubt you would do better in my shoes.
RTFA? The wikipedia article you posted about the ISO 9000 standard specifically states that software development and other creative processes do not work well with ISO 9000.
Call me a cynic, but my guess is the prof took out his old promo material, and is asking for more funding by showing what he's done so far. Either that, or they have recreated the same computing, but with more resolution or something.
I went through the videos on that site I missed. I could swear I saw the EXACT SAME videos at the 1993 conference. Especially the one that showed the gravity waves of the two merging black holes. I swear I even see the resulting black hole wink out for a frame or two. They really don't show the actual merger in very much detail at all, I think this is on purpose. I think that's why they havn't posted anything that clearly shows the merger, because I very much doubt an observer at the merger of 2 black holes would just see it wink out of existence like that. (Not that an observer would survive that kind of event, but that's neither here nor there.) For public release I guess it's bad to admit they don't have all the answers yet.
I actually went to a seminar years back by one of the individuals working on this. The equation alone filled pages, and was something he had to derive by hand. He showed us a cgi video of the results. The 2 black holes approached, snapped together, and the resulting larger black hole temporarily oscillated. The strange part was partway through the oscillation, the black hole just popped out of existence, and then reappeard several seconds later.
In the question and answer period, a student asked why this gap in the calculations. The professor explained there was no gap in the calculations, but rather, the result of the calculations was non-euclidean in nature, so it was physically impossible to display it in a 3d model. At about that time, half of the undergrad audience whispered a Keanu Reeves style "whoah..."
Don't ask me any of the details, this was years ago in a course on stellar astrophysics that I have mostly forgot. This is just something anecdotal. Astrophysicists have been working on this black hole merger thing for a very long time. The computer labs at the time had P133's running. I'd love to see what they're doing now, but that site wasn't very big on actual information.
It's obvious you can't see why they did this because their systems of morals and judgement are radically different from yours. Perhaps these Marshalls valued honesty, integrity and justice far more than they valued a good job reference. Based on your post of ways to try to weasel out of the consequences, I'm sure that idea hasn't even occurred to you.
The heroes are the ones who stand up and don't cover their ass.
"Why force false-positives like this by having quotas?"
The soviets LOVED false quotas. It instituted a system where anyone could be arbitrarily punished for anything. With that power came complete and utter control over the lives of it's people.
"It's like giving soldiers a quota of people they need to kill or something stupid like that."
Stalin loved those. The police had execution quotas too. Wait till Texas gets them.
Can you imagine if the administration actually didn't like you for some reason or other. People are being opressed now, and I don't just mean brown guys who carry a Koran. We're talking your average joes who either know too much about something, or ticked someone powerful off. This is already a police state, and the net is just slowly closing over more and more average people, until there won't be any freedom left except the freedom to obey.

I think by the time Cheney takes office, he won't have to.
Winrar gave me 44%. Not bad!
If it comes down to a war of ideas, the American people are largely unarmed.

Forget foofy speculation.

bORK!
"In America, the Government is the People."
I see you bought that corporate jingle. There's a reason they drilled that into your head since you were a child, and it's not because it's true.
More like turning off reason and common sense whenever money is involved.
"Evolution is a theory."
By saying that, you confuse "sound scientific theory" with "just a theory" or "cockamamie theory", which is what the public thinks when you say "It's just a theory". It's strong enough of a theory that it might as well be fact for all intents and purposes. Quit giving ammo to the luddites.

"Already many jobs require good credit."
As someone who recently got refused a job that I went to school for on the basis of my credit rating, I agree with you that things have gone too far.
Bork!

so the answer is to give up, and just wing it?
Cool, what U were you from? I was from U of A.
Call me a cynic, but my guess is the prof took out his old promo material, and is asking for more funding by showing what he's done so far. Either that, or they have recreated the same computing, but with more resolution or something.

News about this kind of police state BELONGS ON EVERY FRICKING BLOG, NEWSPAPER, TV AND RADIO.
Naw, nevermind. Go back to eating your cheetos and playing counterstrike.
