PDF viewers on Linux suck, too. It amazes me, how evince starts redrawing the document for a few seconds when I zoom in / zoom out. C'mon, it's not 1982, how could this be so bad?
Really, fucking read it already. And stop posting nonsense like "but javascript is already opensource" and "FSF are lunatics".
Yes, your browser does download JS. And yes, you can view it. But you cannot legitimately re-use it. What FSF suggests is that some major web sites would release their JS code under free license, thus allowing code modifications and re-usage. What worries them is that a lot of Greasemonkey scripts for gmail are published under free licenses, but the original javascript remains copyrighted.
Yeah, like standardization really gave C++ the portability. The standard has enough vague statements to make it a headache to port the code between compilers. Two words: template metaprogramming.
Even with the mighty Google I can see the lag while using the secure version. And secure Wikipedia version stops working sometimes. Hell, I'm writing this on a website without HTTPS, maybe/. web masters could answer why is it like that, too.
Why artificially increasing number of women, gays, minors anywhere is good? What equality or fairness does this bring? Why are you treating them like disabled?
It's a whistle-blower prize, not a tower-blower. Although, if you think about it, Nobel did invent the dynamite. Guess it would be fair to have one more award...
Asked if he would characterize Mubarak as a dictator Biden responded: “Mubarak has been an ally of ours in a number of things. And he’s been very responsible on, relative to geopolitical interest in the region, the Middle East peace efforts; the actions Egypt has taken relative to normalizing relationship with – with Israel. I would not refer to him as a dictator.”
Please, try to explain this. What he is saying is "He did everything what we told him to do, so he's not the bad guy, even if he fucked up his own people. He served our country's interests, and as to the interests of Egypt people - we could not care less. "
Be around to help, as well as give my daughter freedom and independence.
But she is only seven years old! She is not a teenager to start considering about her own life, she is a kid. And what "web experience" are you talking about at this age? Is it now an essential part of a child's education?
If someone's built an antimatter container that can keep it around for, say, long enough to fly it across the atlantic, that really is a new achievement.
...yes, just across the Atlantic would be enough, but the container must not be too large for the airplane... like B-2, for example. Or we could use a rocket. If you have any information on the matter (or anti-matter), send me an e-mail: die_commie_die@mil.gov.us
- Excuse me, where can I find the art museum? - Yes-yes. Art is good. Buy this vase. Ten dorrars. Very good. - No, I don't want to buy anything, I just want to know how to get to the museum. - Yes-yes, the museum. Postcards. One dorrar. - Listen, if I buy this postcard, would you tell me where the museum is? - You want postcard? Please, choose. Also look. Good luck charm. Five dorrars.

Thanks to South Park, US rednecks are known even outside US.
They can have their own internet with the facebooks and packet shaping and the september that never ends. And we'll have ours and reset it to 1995 style...
No need to go that far. You just need a new domain -.lawn
If you have the brains to market your idea (or negotiate with someone who can) then you deserve the profits you'll make.
And guess who will be making a ton of money? The marketing managers, of course. Somehow, I don't like the idea, that only one group of people should benefit from the collaborative work.
Following your logic, script-writers for movies should not get a penny for their work. I mean, anyone can imagine a movie plot in the shower, amirite?
"Ha! I could do that, too" argument is simply invalid.

I'm not doing commerce through the website
A self-signed cert is fine for personal use, and I use it for my webmail portal, but it doesn't exactly look professional
Seems like a contradiction to me. If you're not doing commerce, why bother about professionalism?
True.

Hey, what do you mean by that "halfling" thing?! You think the Shire folk is half as good as you? They're gaylings, you hate-breeding mundane!
And they all work in the government.

like it's fun stuff, when it's actually quite sad and painful for some.
I believe, the sarcastic humiliation is is a distinctive feature of the British-American humor.
We enjoy being geeks because it isn't cool
Wait, what? Geeks become geeks to avoid being cool?! Hipsters doing something, that isn't cool?! Oh, c'mon!
I believe, what you've just experienced is called WHOOOSH!

Ok, so this is a bit off topic, but why did everyone think 7 was better. I just can't figure it out.
Even more offtopic, it's like the Obama campaign: people wanted a change so bad they actually believed in it.

You could even add yourself as a friend on Facebook. On both of them, actually.
The Internet and cell phone service providers in Russia are obliged by the law to install a wiretap for FSB. I heard the same thing about US and NSA.
chicks hate nerds
Because they're scared that some ugly four-eyed dwarf can look through all their slutty lies. Can't pretend to be a good girl after that.
...even with half of the graphic features thrown out before release.
It's like talking to a greedy Chinese shop owner.

What if every site suggested its own name?
STEP 1: google what you need
STEP 2: follow the link (technically ip address, actually a site description, like "Best cooking recipes")
STEP3: bookmark it (the site suggests a name for the bookmark which you can override)
STEP4: PROFIT!
