And me think they have made sure they can nail him this time.
"Oh my, we won't have to get adblock for wow! Outrage!"
Blizzard has also changed the tos for Battlenet, that they may in the future include in game advertising, and these adds will be selected an delivered while you play by "Massive" (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Microsoft Corporation)
Blizzard is restructuring their system, so that in the future a player will be required to have one battlenet login for all Blizzard games (you register new games with your battlenet account, and can later redownload them if you lose the dvd)
So perhaps they don't want addons with advertisement since it might be a competition to their own, eh?
I've hoped you've added the ability to save a file + name it + open it at the same time (like with msie)
and a way to see what password credentials are logged for a site (since i experience firefox saving the wrong login, so i always have to go and check what it actually stored, which is very annoying)
and when you bookmark the page, that you get a bigger bookmark window instead of that tiny little window
and better inbuilt tab handling so we don't have to use addons.
I have one phone, it is with me everywhere - what is the problem?
And if you still have a landline (which most don't) the phone company can just redirect calls to it when they register your cell phone is "home". If you leave it goes to the phone.
Firefox certainly has a slow url bar, it freezes the machine for seconds when you try to access it. And on something like tv.coms boards is so slow to render the boards its intolerable.
No, we didn't forget that - we ignored it since Nokia (and Erickson) have crap interfaces, and apparently will never improve on that - so the only way out are versions *we* can shape.

Everything that people watch on TV they buy on DVD... no wait... they don't? Why don't they? Because most of it is only (barely) good enough to watch on TV in the first place, but its not worth buying.
And yes, all the crap would disappear.

Slashdot Mirror
For years millions of poor crabs have been praying to the big crab god in the sky to come save them from us - and his spaceship is almost here!
Because a computer doesn't mind trying thousands of times, even hundred of thousands of times until it hits a combination that works.
How many days did it take to show that?
The first time people run it, they are required to enter a code they can find on your website? :)
Probably be considered advertising

You forgot the part where you apologized ;)
Yeah, its a really flawed system, alas.
"Face it, the average juror may not be that sharp "
Isn't that great - to be sent to prison by someone who isn't that sharp.
You were paid then, you shouldn't keep sponging of work you did then.
Except no. Its not the one thing.
Could you rephrase everything - I didn't understand the point of your post?

What have I heard?
Nothing.
But they are sure to bring one on the market eventually - just think of the many books they have already scanned!

"Ever seen the man page? Gazillions of options!"
Meaning most people won't use it. Good game *g*
"As another reader points out, FFmpeg is what makes some open source multimedia apps (like MPlayer, Xine, VLC and Kdenlive) so versatile."
Perhaps its also what makes them break at the same places...

Doesn't it?
He has not been sued, that's what zeropaid made up - the original article says they bad has threatened to sue if they don't get their money.
for their lame layout - should give people a way to avoid (or change) the styled buttons, not all of us can easily read them now.
Simple really.
