I recommend the "Flash Click to View" extension. That way, you can selectively partake of Flash content, and not be annoyed by either the plugin warning or annoying Flash advertisements.
I switched for all the wonderful Firefox extensions (such as Web Developer, All-in-one Gestures, etc) which are not available for regular Moz. Plus, I like the default theme better.
However, I do not care for Firefox's separate web search box. I much preferred Mozilla's method of "type-in-address-field, down-arrow, return".
From the linked article: "In violation of federal law, some Pennsylvania and Maryland poll workers denied voters the right to cast a provisional ballot." It does not imply that this irregularity helped one candidate or the other in any way.

The only states with more than twenty electoral votes that has no coastline are Illinois and Ohio
Gee, when I peer out my office's window at Lake Michigan, it sure looks like a coastline to me! Sure, it's not an ocean, but the Great Lakes are pretty damn big.
I'm starting to think the Civil War was a bad idea. We could have just let the Confederate states have their own little theocracy, but no, we had to keep the Union together.
Not sure what browser you're using, but Mozilla/Firefox has Javascript options to disable page moving and resizing. At any rate, I find it a good idea to mute the volume on your work computer unless you actually need sound for something.
The Anakin ghost replacement doesn't really bother me. What *does* bother me are the changes to Jabba's palace, especially the band. That music is awful and totally out of place.
How about the US paradise - where white conservatives can avoid the draft, drive drunk with impunity, exercise undue power over women's bodies, restrict minority rights, create global issues and ill-will, and leech off the people.
I would say it's more like 80% at this point, but it's undeniable that IE's marketshare simply can't be ignored. (At least for sites I'm paid to work on -- when I create a non-business site, I could care less how it looks in IE. Yes, I am a web developer.)
Apple changed THEIR program to block certain behavior of another application.
You are right, but I was mislead by the article: "Our favorite was to get our files off our iPod on our Mac "was" iPod Download, but since iTunes 4.7 came out, Apple disabled it". This statement lead me to believe that Apple was modifying iPod Download, not just changing iTunes to disallow the plugin. I probably overreacted, but I still consider this move by Apple to be antisocial, and decreases their standing in my opinion.
I'm suprised someone with that low a UID is that ignorant, especially after all the previous posts, or, horror of horrors, RTFA!
Could be a side effect of looking at the world through Aqua-colored glasses.
I'll make this simple: voting reform, while important to me, is not the single largest issue. I believe there are much larger issues at stake in this election. There's a time to take an idealistic stand, and there's a time to be pragmatic. This is one of those funky times.
In the 2000 election, I supported Nader, but my second choice would have been Al Gore (which didn't matter because Gore won my state anyway). I thought the chances of Bush being elected were laughable. Sadly, this was not the case. Bush won Florida in 2000 by 537 votes (10/2/04 Chicago RedEye). I wonder how many voters chose Nader instead of Gore in that case?
The whole argument on whether or not this is an Apple-approved use of the iPod is irrelevant. Apple's iTunes application modifies third-party software on the system, intentionally and apparently without consent.
That's enough for me to consider *never* buying an Apple product. I left Microsoft for exactly the same behavior, and I won't tolerate it in a vendor. I'm just glad they have shown their true colors, before I made the mistake of investing in their hardware.
And you propose to achieve this by . ..voting for the same shitheads that are already in there? Wake up, indeed.
Obviously, you're an idealist, and I'm a realist. I'm afraid we're going to have to agree to disagree. I don't believe my candidate is one of the "shitheads", I think he's the best candidate who has any chance of winning. To vote otherwise would be to help out the candidate I absolutely do *not* want in office.
So you're going to throw away your vote because you feel neither candidate is ideal?
Wake up, the reality of the situation is that one of the two major parties is going to win the election. They don't give a crap if 1-2% of the population votes third party, in fact the candidate who is *least like* the popular third party will actively promote this, since taking votes away from the competition is almost as good as receiving votes!
I believe that we need campaign reform, and I'd love to see our voting system changed to something like an approval-based system. But voting third party is not the answer to that, the system must change from within.
Unless you recompile your kernel manually... you're losing performance. Not all binairy distros allow you to do that. Especially not redhat/fedora, and others offer kernels that you're not supposed to recompile, lest you break something with the hidden config files.
Hmm, I'm a Gentoo user as well as a Fedora Core 2 user, and I think they are both nice distros. I compile my own kernels for FC2, and have not had any issues aside from Yum wanting to "upgrade" it to the official kernel (gotta look into fixing that). What do you mean by "hidden" config files? The copy of.config Fedora sticks in/boot by default?
Methinks some Debian users are jealous.. I recently migrated my relatively ancient MDK 9.1 workstation to Gentoo, and have found it a pleasure to work with. It has all the goodness of Apt, with the bonus of USE flags (I know, the article.. but you really can do neat stuff here).
If you halfway know your stuff regarding Linux, it can make a very nice workstation. I don't know if I'd recommend it for servers though, since having a compiler installed on a server is just asking for trouble..
I don't think this is evil at all. People shouldn't pirate software which is still being sold by the manufacturer. (I have no moral issues with abandonware, although the law has a different point of view). Hell, I hope Micros~1 manages to lock out all pirated copies of Windows, this will result in more people becoming interested in alternatives.
Which is exactly the reason Mozilla/Firefox offers the option whether or not to allow Javascript to control to status bar, something that's been available for ages.

Have you seen the Perl Power Tools project? Might be a good place to start.
Great game!

Yes I have. Fortunately, the fine citizens of my state elected Obama instead.

The vast majority of Americans are some Christian derivative. Nothing wrong with that.
These Christian folks have some strong-held beliefs. Nothing wrong with that.
It seems that many of them also want to limit the freedom of all citizens to what they consider morally acceptable. Big problem.

Perhaps you should ask your software vendor to make a more standards compliant browser?
