    I only have one complaint. The copy dialog box tends to change width when copying lots of files and then eventually settles down.

  12. Re:Would never happen to him on 27 Reported Killed In Connecticut Elementary School Shooting · · Score: 1

    We have much stricter gun laws in Australia, and without any sort of proof or statistic I am going to put it out there that America has more then 10 times the incidence of these kinds of senseless killings. So if it is not the gun laws themselves then what is it? I think it is a cultural thing. So I think it might take a generation for tighter gun laws to take affect. In Australia most gun related crimes are criminals killing criminals (like my close friend Luke http://goo.gl/RFJuV). I left out his whole name on purpose. Its almost unheard of (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Bryant) et al. Otherwise.
