You have some serious problems with your computers.
Really.
Firefox is a lot faster than IE. It should never take 20 and 45 seconds for a window to come up. More like a second. Firefox is tiny and doesn't take up much memory - if your hard disk is chugging consider a defrag.
Firefox doesn't crash unless it starts interacting with something like java or Flash. It can go a little crazy then but that's because of incompatibilities that also crash IE.
On consideration...what you're describing is IE behaviour - so let me bequeath you the title of cleverly disguised TROLL or MS SHILL.
[I]Text messaging is not cheaper than voice calling. If you pay a hefty monthly fee (and most people do) you get a number of free / cheap texts thrown in, but a text message will generally cost about the same as a five-minute call from a landline, or a short mobile-mobile voice call.Whatever it is attacts people to SMS, it's not value for money..[/}
Absolutely wrong.
A text message generally costs a fraction (1/10-1/2) of a one-minute call from a cell phone (around 1 - 5 X more expensive than a land line), hence their popularity. Text messages are generally cheaper even than a single land line call though the information content is very limited.
The above requires a total domination of the network. By its very nature there is no way to stop a man-in-the-middle attack in which all communications can be intercepted and replaced.
A supernova from a star like those would wipe out the region of space around it and create an immense black hole. Possibly wiping out alien civilizations and lifeforms in systems distant from it.
Fernandez-Barros, who holds three doctoral degrees, said he received the whopping check from Penske Truck Leasing, deposited it in his credit-union account and later had the money wired to Nigeria -- a sequence of extraordinary events that landed him in the middle of a U.S. Secret Service investigation and a federal lawsuit over the vanished funds.
He got involved in a fraud using a check that didn't reach its original recipient.
A 419 by the current internet definition is a scam using an advance fee - "Give me money and I'll give you more."
Who cares about what makes more sense. Astronauts are mostly fighter jocks. Thse jocks have a massive lobbying power in Congress and in NASA (like a certain geriatric senator who got sent into space). Jocks want a shuttle to pilot. You can't underline your masculinity at Mach 5 by wrestling a control lever in a capsule.
1 in 450 over 100 years. Or 1 event per 45,000. Or 8 per 400,000. So homo sapiens has been wiped out eight times or has been extremely lucky. Impossibly lucky if you figure in homo sapiens ancestors.
Drawing a katana isn't a problem unless you're trying to do some ijatsu with it without knowing how to. Or if you try and handle it one handed - which anyone who has a single a single samurai film will not to do and who will buy one without having seen one?
Anybody sees you with a katana, they're going to shit themselves and run. Its probably even more scary than a gun.
"Oh shit, motherfuckers got a fucking samurai sword, he's a crazy bitch ass, mothefucker, I gotta get my ass out of here!" - stream of burglar conscious.
I once chased a guy with a gun with a big ass telescopic baton, people equate size with danger and crazy fools with even more danger.
Pull a wakizaki and you look like you've got a kitchen knife.

We're not talking about professional fighting in rooms between warriors.
In history, immigrants have been the bravest and most intelligent of their societies., dirven for whatever reasons, poverty, warfare, famine or simple lack of perspectives to immigrate.
Your example of Mexicans is a good one. Clever and brave Mexicans born into slums escape to America where they have some chance of rising in society (Mexican society is highly stratified and they would have no chance at home, no matter what). Their less brave and less intelligent kin rot in the slums. Working a field in California is a lot better than rotting in a shithole back home.
Belonging to a stratum of society is not a measure of intelligence or value - especially in corrupt, nespotic and highly stratified societies - the sort which encourage the most immigration.
For heavens sake, the US was created by immigrants! Are US citizens all the heirs of degenerates?
The absence of predictions means it cannot be tested.
Begone heretic! Bible theory clearly predicts an apocalypse on the very same date that a Democrat (which spoken backwards is "Satan-worshipping-paedophile") comes to office!
I bet you have excellent scientists, lawyers and mathematicians - as long as nepotism or corruption isn't affecting graduation rates.
As for the constant number of diplomas - that I don't understand. Are Croatian universities limited by law as to the number of diplomas they can hand out?
I asked him what he thought about the upcoming movie project, whether he thought it would be good or not.
You may have thought it was a great insightful question. In fact, it was highly insullting. How can you ask an artist if he thinks his next project is going to be good or not? That's as if you're telling him, "Is it going to be better than the shit you normally churn out?". Think about it.
This is insightful? Cough, cough, the Easter eggs are viewable on normal dvd players, the Active-X widget to immediately view them, isn't executable on a normal dvd player, cough, cough.
Slashdot Mirror
Another "dress like a slob, don't get mugged" slashdotters who is proud of it.
Well, I don't dress like a slob, instead dress how I want, drive a sports car, use an Ipod, have an expensive cellphone and don't mugged.
And enjoy life more.
Um...

No, he is such a complex organism that he must have been designed.
The intelligent design argument is self-contradictory.
Who designed God?
Great slashdot reply.
"How do I install wireless in my new house" turns into:
"You need to run wires in your house" turns into:
"You need to buy a proper house".
Mr Cheapskate ask a question isn't going to buy a different house just to wire it for sound 'properly'.
The comment you are quoting is a joke.
Joke.
Jokey.
They'll owe his children. Or his dog if he leaves it his money in his will.
Sheez. How can something as simple as the idea that both debt and assets percolate down the generations be misunderstood.

You're mistaking generation of one-time codes with an encryption system than cannot be eavesdropped. RTFA carefully.

You're wrong. RTFA.

All the comments above about the 5mb make me want to invent a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the internet.
Now that would be a killer app.
Every rocket you add, adds risk of failure.
So a quadruple strapped rocket is four times more likely to fail. More, if you factor in the possible failure that strapping will add.
The Saturn has (had) 4 times more power...
You're forgetting the fighter jock factor.
Who cares about what makes more sense. Astronauts are mostly fighter jocks. Thse jocks have a massive lobbying power in Congress and in NASA (like a certain geriatric senator who got sent into space). Jocks want a shuttle to pilot.

Satan is the NATO codename for a very nasty Russian ICBM rocket. I think it is appropriately named.

I call statistical bullshit.

I got suspicious when I read about 'publication' date in the article. IAAL so I was interested in the filing date.
q ue sted=C&trademark=2249936
Apple filed for the trademark on 24 October 2000. This is before he filed for the domain - Nov. 7 2000.
http://webdb4.patent.gov.uk/tm/number?detailsre
A trademark is registered as of the date of filing under 40 (3) of the UK Trademark Act.
http://www.patent.gov.uk/tm/legal/tmact94.pdf.
Hmm.
Therefore from 24 October 2000 - only Apple can use the trademark in business. Date of publication is not relevant.
The legal situation is different from that given by the slanted Register article.
