More often than not, Flash is a horrible bandwidth hog and slows page loading drastically. And if someone is on a dial-up connection (which still exists in many places due to no high-speed being available, and satellite being far too expensive), any slower page loading means less likelihood of a resource being used. Plus, not everyone will have a Flash player available, especially if you're using the latest version. So do you want to alienate your customers?
It's somewhere between 96% and 98%. Persons who don't know enough to install plugins most likely bought a PC with said plugins pre-installed. Pretty much the only persons who don't have Flash installed are the neo-Luddites who hang out here.
So, let me get this straight - the first thing you'll want to have access to after a "world-society-ending" event is a encyclopedia of questionable accuracy, filled with mostly trivial information? I guess that's OK, though, since you'll be easier to defend against by those of us who will hoard food and weapons.
I never did say it wasn't a sex scandal, just not the biggest - but maybe I should have been clearer. Yes, it was the biggest sex scandal in terms of popularity and persons involved, but I was talking about the general scandalousness of a grown, married man getting a blow job from a grown woman who is not his wife. As far as scandalous content, that's pretty damn pedestrian. But, because it happend to be the president, and because he tried to lie about it (and really - who wouldn't?), and because he happened to be a much-feared and intensely hated president for certain Republican-types who also controlled Congress, it was made into an epic scandal. Had he not lied, he may have avoided the whole thing. Who knows? (Of course, had it been George W. Bush, it would have made page 11 in the papers, if it made the papers at all, even if he was fucking 5 year old boys in the ass and chopping their heads off when he was done, and then setting their bodies on fire on the Whitehouse lawn. Rush Limbaugh and the other GOP propagandists would be defending Bush's right to sodomize and murder children, while simultaneously blaming Clinton for turning the Whitehouse into nothing more than a den of pleasure and murder.)
As far as figures for cost, I was just half remembering something I read. I probably should have Googled it, as your figure seems more accurate.
Hardly the biggest sex scandal. He got a blow job from an adult woman who was not his wife, and tried to lie about it. Big deal. Who wouldn't? The scandal was the $150 million and two years spent investigating it, and the vindictiveness of the Republicans who placed Clinton's sex life as America's highest priority, even more important than terrorism.
I doubt ad blocking will ever be included and/or turned on by default, at least the type of ad blocking that Privoxy or Adblock/Adblock Plus do. (Opera and Firefox (and others) have "block images from here" capabilities, but they are rather simplistic and come with empty lists by default.) Advertising is legal and seen as a legitimate and accepted way of paying for "free" content, whereas spam is seen as invasive and offensive, and is currently illegal in most civilized places. Popups are a gray area, as they can be used for good and evil, which is why the popup blockers try to be smart about what they block and alert the user when they do.
Python and TCL have their influences in Ruby as well.
Indeed. It is well know that before he created Python in 1991, Guido van Rossum travelled forward through time to 1993 to be influenced by the creation of Ruby. Unfortunately, the journey back to 1991 erased his memory of the secrets of time travel, and so we are left only with the fruits of his magical journey, the Python language. John Ousterhout made a similar journey in 1989 which informed his design of Tcl.
USAGE NOTE Assure, ensure, and insure all mean "to make secure or certain." Only assure is used with reference to a person in the sense of "to set the mind at rest": assured the leader of his loyalty. Although ensure and insure are generally interchangeable, only insure is now widely used in American English in the commercial sense of "to guarantee persons or property against risk."
I think he might be a strict Constitutionalist. After all, this country was started by a bunch of guys who felt no moral obligation to comply with laws they didn't agree with, laws that were not serving the majority of the people. So they became terrorists and insurgents and and broke the law and started shooting at the government that had stopped serving them. And then they made it a law here that if you don't agree with this new government and its laws, you should start doing the same (as a last measure of course, when your protestations aren't achieving the effects you desire - but they did add the 2nd Amendment for a reason;>).

1998 just called and they want their rant back.

Shit. I can't think of any funny Dick Cheney jokes.
Karl Rove has incredible control over the dark side of the force. A simple stare by him can cause a person to age, wither and die.
Why should time count? You have 10 minutes to write 1000 words...

Hypocrisy? I don't think this word is spelled like you think it's spelled.

Cops have to be in good physical shape to be riding a bike all day, which discriminates against the more Wiggums-esque cops.
We have one: Republican
I believe you either responded to the wrong message, or you need to check the fluid levels in your sarcasm detector.

Books != films. Get over it.
Examples?
What about this bit?:
Just make up a list and add it to Wikipedia.
Only by spelling, not by general meaning.
The are indeed interchangeable. See the usage note here.
You're just not avant-garde enough.
Whatever the case, it inspired me to name my next band "Steve and the Stingrays."
And against accounting firms and CPAs.
Maybe someone was drilling his wife, and maybe that plane didn't crash by accident...
