Of course Galactic is going to work best with IE9! It's designed by the same org!
In time, most HTML5 performance hiccups of most compatible browsers will be fixed, leaving this site pointless.
What was the "News Site"? How do we know it wasn't specifically designed with IE9 in mind, or had help from the someone close to the IE9 project? It didn't say "unaffiliated News Site", or "Independent News Site". It could just as easily be msnbc.com, which is affiliated with Microsoft, and thus will probably work best with IE9.
One more thing: Why were the browsers jumping around to different spots on each summary graph? That was really annoying to have to follow!
I thought the Free Software Foundation was that commie-pinko organization, bent on destroying the reputation of many beloved establishments which we hold near and dear to our hearts (Microsoft and Apple to name a couple. Hang in there boys! McCarthy will rise again!), thus crumbling one of the established cornerstones of Capitalism?
USA! USA!

Knife would take too long to learn how to do correctly. Remember, the goal is only worms. Poking a hole in the security layer only invites other forms of malware to intrude. The plugin needs to make use of an already available connector or API (Aperture Pervasion Interface).
It should be noted that the "study" was conducted by the advertising network Chitika (quoted, because the mentioned "study" was probably just running AWStats or Webalizer against Chitika's own access logs). The unfortunate problem with this is that most, if not all modern browsers have the ability to utilize ad blocking solutions.
When an ad is blocked, I belive that usually means your browser isn't even requesting the ad. You won't show up in their access logs. Browser-based analysis will be skewed.
That being said, my assumptions about ad blocker proliferation may be overly ambitious.
I cannot believe that I'm the first to post about hot cute the cover is. At least anyone will have to agree that the subjects would make for interesting sushi.
Let me post this disclaimer that I am as Democrat as they come.
I somehow don't see the difference between this and depicting George W. as a chimp. Must be the whole "race" thing, or something. C'mon people! Stop feeding the flames! If you're going to put this kind of energy into something so trivial as a human-less web image search aggregator, you're only going to make it worse. The Google juggernaut is only doing it's job, which is to crawl the web, and give you, based on mathematic algorithms, what -it- deems to be the most relevant results. Racism is a human condition, not a mathematical model. Google even tried to fix it, but the humans figured a way around it.
Incidently, do a Google Image search for "George Bush". I guarantee that you will see at least one comparing him to a chimp. I never heard someone put up a stink about Google displaying these on the first result page.
What everyone posting here needs to be aware of is that subverting DRM is considered -illegal- (anyone wonder why it's illegal to play DVDs using a FOSS player)?
Granted, it's easy to circumvent, and Apple has gone to great lengths project 'warm and fuzzy' to their restrictive policies. But it's still illegal.
Why should one have to do something considered illegal, just so they can play their iTunes music on the portable player of their choosing?
It should also be noted that Apple's DRM schemes are not limited to music and video. Any developer who's submitted an iPhone app to the iTunes store, and had it denied, can attest to this. I would cite references to this, but Apple has tacked on NDR's to their denial notices.
I've heard the argument time and time again that "you're only giving up a small portion of your rights." I've also heard "It's fun to use, and I don't have to think about it."
My question to these is how much are we willing to give up? What's the threshold? How long before bread and circuses are no longer sufficient? (I could easily Godwin this thread right here, but I won't. You get the picture.)
Long story short, purchasing or using technology restricted with DRM only serves to validate DRM. If you validate, you also enable. If you enable, you suggest (even passively) that it could be applied further.
What you eventually see is a slow, calculated erosion of your rights, until there's nothing left. This is what DBD is all about.

Maybe not quite yet... Someone could buy the portfolio, no?
Come on over and bid on the Humble Legal Bundle!

I know I'm going to get modded "off-topic", but this is getting too silly.
I noticed that a bit laet to trun bakc.
Unacceptable! It must be WTF5138008, if it is to be anything!
Although I suppose WTFZ80 might work as well.

Given the news, I've been reading a little more about Mandelbrot than I should, but that blew my mind!

Is there a plugin for this?
I did.
I stand by my aspirations (by all definitions. You can look 'em up in your Funk and Wagnalls.).
that gives worms to ex-girlfriends.
This thread is a stroke of genius!
I don't care how crappy the movie was!

Yet another example of how life imitates Douglas Adams.

Yeah, um, show us some photos! While you're at it, I wanna see Unnilquadium too! And if ya' got some time, how about some unobtainium?
Am I the only one who thought of this? "Synthetic Sebum Makes Slippery Sailboats", if you know what I mean. *wink* *wink*
Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman!
Next your're going to ask to have milk AND lemon in your tea!
Free will, indeed!
You can choose from quantum fears
...On an unrelated note, don't mistype 'hadron' in Wikipedia's search. Don't do it! DON'T!
And hadrons that can kill
Sorry. I had to jump on the Rush bandwagon.

But why begin by attacking apple? go after the long poll in the tent.
As far a popularity is concerned, Apple -is- the long pole in the tent.
I knew it! Science is trying to Knack^h^h^h^h^hNacre us!
Go back to art school, you posers!
