This is completely false. IO is well supported, with an almost imperative syntax. And as others have mentioned, there are hundreds of libraries available.
As an aside, functional isn't the coolest aspect of Haskell. I think its type system is much cooler (although not as cool as Agda's).
Yes, they can be used by other apps. The file is called bookmarks.html, it's a simple html file. It's not integrated into the OS, but a lot of people wouldn't want that. Someone could write an extension to allow Firefox to use IE/MS style Favorites (from the OS), but I doubt there are people lining up to write an MS-only extension.
This has been debated to death by Mozilla fans. Just give it some time, or download another theme.
Extensions will be included in 1.0, I think. But there's nothing really missing for someone switching from IE; most extensions are icing for power users.
I find Firefox settings very nice for a beginner/someone switching from IE. If you need to dig into about:config, you're not a stereotypical user.
Because they are not working right yet. Check bugzilla if you want to know the details.
This, I agree with. I'd remove all the buttons immediately, but for people coming from IE, it would be useful.
No idea, I have a keyword ('g') set up for google searching.
Here, you're just wrong. The installer asks on install if you want to import settings from IE, and I believe there's also a menu item to do it later.
That's because shift-click saves a page. Try ctrl-click.
I find it is instantanious on my 900 MHz Athlon, but this depends a lot on your computer. For me, it's the opposite: IE draws the window borders, then sits there for a few seconds before I can do anything with it. And Firefox still speeds up with each release.
In short, you don't sound like a typical user; you're more likely a power user, and as a power user, you're expected to dig for a few options. Otherwise, the options dialog would be too overwhelming.
No, I never needed to. I guess you'd have to do some low-level TeX stuff. I could learn that if I needed to, but as said, I don't. Often, a layout is supplied to people, or the standard layouts are sufficient. But I agree that it isn't for the average user; but then again, neither are most Word features.
LaTeX can also save you when writing large, structured documents, with references to figures, tables, chapters and other documents in it. Plus, it enforces a consistent layout. So it's not only useful for formula's, although that's where it really shines.
Well, you should, since you are telling us what it does and doesn't do. If I paste, for example, the page title and user name from the top of your post into MS Word from Mozilla 1.4, I get exactly the same thing as was on the web page. Bolded text, links that I can follow, an image that is also a link, and smaller text linking to your homepage.
Wow! I'm a customer of XS4ALL, but I didn't know this. I looked it up, and it's right here:
4.4 Onverminderd het in artikel 4.3 gestelde is het klanten toegestaan het systeem van XS4ALL te hacken.
De klant die als eerste erin slaagt een positie te verwerven gelijk aan de systeembeheerder van XS4ALL, krijgt van XS4ALL zes maanden gratis gebruik van het systeem aangeboden, onder voorwaarde dat de desbetreffende klant uitlegt op welke wijze hij of zij geslaagd is in het hacken, hij of zij geen schade heeft toegebracht aan het systeem en aan andere klanten en hij of zij de privacy van andere klanten heeft gerespecteerd. Iedere klant geeft bij deze toestemming aan andere klanten onder voornoemde voorwaarden te trachten het systeem te hacken.
I can't buy the beer. I can get the brandy, but either they're out of beer (before I get the brandy), or I'm cut off by the bartender because I should stop boozing. How do I get the beer?
Well, given that, according to the article, you can get 5 years in prison for sharing files, I'd say the law considers it pretty serious.
I wonder what would happen when a college student is jailed for 5 years for sharing his cd-collection over the internet. Would there be massive demonstrations, and public outrage, or would everyone still be either indifferent, or posting about it on Slashdot?
Rip a CD on two different drives and the chances that some bits will be different in the resulting files are really pretty good.
Not if you use a good ripping program like Exact Audio Copy and a reasonably good (i.e. not with multiple big scratches) cd. Of course if you then encode it, the end result will still depend on the encoder (LAME, Ogg), the version, and the settings used, so your point still stands.
Try Mozilla with the multizilla plugin. It allows you (among many, many other useful things) to turn off the referrer, fake it, or set it to the site the link points to.

Mind telling us how you had to change it?
Yeah, Holland... isn't that the capital of Brussels?
Works for me in Notepad in Win2K SP4, too. What exactly didn't work for you?
I'd give del.icio.us a try. It uses labels instead of folders, which are much more useful, and there's a Firefox plugin (and also an IE one, IIRC).

Well, msn might not be accurate, but they're fast: those search terms (yes, I had to try) now bring up this slashdot article...
Nope, you've got it backwards. Downloading is legal (say some people) and uploading is illegal. So we've got the same problem.

Better yet, copying and keeping rented or borrowed DVDs is legal in Holland, if you have the copy strictly for personal use.
It is? Do you have any references?
Nope. You only reduce its special attacks, and those are at an optimum exactly at +2. The curse absorption always works the same.

How do you read a message without downloading it? The data has to get to your computer before you can read it, right?

Try this. Digger remade to play as the original, but run on modern pc's.
Opera has an option to open popups in the background, which is essentially the same as in a new tab.
You mean this plugin?
