Considering the bandwidth costs and the fact that (most?) extensions don't make them any money
Of course, extensions generally improve the browser, by providing features the browser doesn't. Firefox is a good example, which would quite likely be forgotten by many of its users if it weren't for it's many good extensions. Quite simply: more extensions, more users, more revenue.
Of course I know how internet banking and shopping works. I didn't mean ban all encryption, that would be stupid. There'd simply be exceptions for things that can be controlled. Tor wouldn't be one of them.
Then countries will ban such encryption. If, for example, the US outlaws Tor, you wouldn't be able to (legally) encrypt traffic to machines outside the US.
Have you ever programmed something from scratch? It doesn't magically appear, you do have to type code in. And the faster the better, so you've got more time to think.
Every employer shall so plan the activities of users at work in his undertaking that their daily work on display screen equipment is periodically interrupted by such breaks or changes of activity as reduce their workload at that equipment
Having a target release date doesn't mean you continue with the plans to ship the product when it has a serious bug.
I completely agree, sometimes it is necessary to let a release slip if the problem's critical enough, it happens frequently. But there's still merit to having a release schedule in the first place (which was the point of my reply to the AC).
Without having a target release date it's likely that the devs/maintainers will relax, causing productivity to go down. Having something to aim for help's to ensure that something's completed in time.
My website's a.com, it was registered here in the UK but has since been transferred to a company in the US, and is currently hosted by an international company with servers just about everywhere. So is it a UK website, or a US one, or...?
I did a little assembly some years ago. I was writing an image processing algorithm in C which was taking something like 10ms, which just wasn't good enough. So I rewrote it in x86 assembly, and got it down to 2ms or so. But, wanting to go even further, I rewrote it using MMX and got it down to well under 1ms. Much faster than the original C code, so much more useful.
Assembly's still used of course, but most people don't even know it's there. We've just been spoiled with lazy high-level languages (C#, Java), faster hardware, and better compilers.
You're not the only one who enjoyed it, I did too, greatly:)
Enter The Matrix was somewhat unique. Unlike a typical game based on a movie, where you're basically playing the main character from the movie doing the same things in the same places, ETM was actually a precursor to The Matrix Reloaded and involved different characters and locations to set the scene for the movie. How cool was that? And how many other games have done this?!

You either appeal, or you don't. The appeal is either successful, or it isn't.
There is no try.

Who the hell modded this insightful? It's hilarious!
If they didn't like it, they could either get a proper job or stop claiming benefits.
It wouldn't be forced labour, they'd still have a choice.
Way back when I had DOS, installing Windows borked my machine. I should have given up then.
Just saying'.
Provided there are no women working in your office (bonus if they're nice-looking).
Oh wait, this is a software company...
One-dimensional, cliched characters that portray IT people as social inadequates.
Don't you work in IT?
It's actually pretty good advice:

In that case just make sure it only scans infectable file types (exe, dll, ocx, etc.), it's pointless scanning text files.

Jeez, I'm turning into my boss... :-|
Is that it? Isn't there something else OpenSolaris offers that nothing else does? Anything?!
If that's truly the case, then it's already dead and ZFS will soon/eventually get into Linux, if indeed it's actually worth it.
You pay for a copy of Ubuntu?

Jeez, who really cares?!

What would happen to Java if Sun went bust?
File sharing is also only one step away from human sharing, or human trafficking as you name it.
Either you're an idiot, or you forgot to add "...not!"
In short, speed.
