There's always Camino, which runs more smoothly than Firefox anyway, and has older builds for Mac OS X 10.3 down to 10.1, and Classilla if you're running Mac OS Classic.
That's the biggest thing that's pissed me off about Mac OS X releases: you had to use a newer version of GCC, but then your programs simply would not run on older versions of the OS, even if you used the same source code. It'd just quit immediately without any message to the user.
The problem with putting slides online is it encourages students to skip lectures.
Let's look at the benefits and costs. To students who don't care about class, it gives them another excuse to skip class. To students who want to lern and attend all classes, it gives them an extra tool for learning. Your argument caters to students who don't care about the class, at a cost to those who do.
Married men understand the principal better. They are constantly saving money, thanks to their wives buying things they don't need and won't wear at 20% off.
I don't get it; what does saving 20% have to do with running a school?
When considering loaning someone money, one must consider things the person is likely to do. Given that one cannot know the person in every detail, one uses the common behaviors of others similar to that person. Thus, when we, a Martian loan agency, are evaluating Earthlings for loans, we consider the behavior of other Earthlings, even though this particular specimen might not behave in the same way. Other Martian loan agencies have tried ignoring this, but they went under because their loans weren't as sound. Yet another planet-ist Martian loan agency tried rejecting all Earthlings for loans, but they too went under, because some Earthlings were worth loaning to. We get criticism for being discriminatory of Earthlings, since we do consider them a greater risk than Martians, based on past performance.
Even your lowly diary has to be approved, let alone music, books, movies, games, applications. Connect online without your trusty TPM enabled client, you get reported.
Don't you think that's a bit much? Obviously they'd let you store a few small unapproved files on your machine, oh, say ten files, each with a maximum of 1000 characters.
if women aren't highly represented in these endeavors, it might be a sign that women just aren't interested in the same damn things that men are?
You've highlighted yet another gender gap that needs to be closed. We need to take stronger action to ensure that men and women are interested in all the same things!
Laptops, cell phones, iPods, etc. are all "machinery powered by lithium metal batteries". And it doesn't say anything about shipping or checked luggage, it says they shall be forbidden aboard passenger-carrying aircraft!!!
Just explain to them that everyone's digital watch is also powered by a lithium battery. They are sure to see the error of their ways and hand back your iPod and other devices... wait, why are they taking my watch now as well?
I see, you'd be buying a license to read that particular book on your book reader. I love it, as it's even more offensive-sounding, though entirely accurate.
I think a "RENT THIS BOOK INDEFINITELY" would be clearer. People aren't familiar with licensing copyrighted works. "Rent" is a term they understand well, and would respond appropriately to, as in "What, I'm paying $14.99 for something I don't even own, can't sell, and might lose access to if your company changes management?"
The tritium leak into ground water at Vermont Yankee has now tested at 775,000 picocuries per liter[...] the NRC's Diane Screnci [...] maintained previously that the Environmental Protection Agency drinking water safety limit of 20,000 picocuries per liter had an abundance of caution built into it.
What's the purpose of a safety limit and abundance of caution if you're going to turn around and claim that it's got lots of caution and therefore can be ignored? Or put another way, does this mean that she considers caution a silly thing to spend any time on?
Like others, I've had to accept that nuclear power is one of the best energy sources, but this is fucking pathetic. Come on, Diane, even people who are pro-nuclear are put off by your bullshit. Close up your shop, get out of town, and let us bring in some people who will do it right. Your attitude makes it clear that this leak is the least of your problems.
He has a problem with loss leaders. Too bad. What he seeks to do is nothing more than to forcibly repeal the First Sale Doctrine and Bobbs-Merrill vs Straus.
I say fine. The sooner all the publishers band together and collude with Steve Jobs to raise book prices and dictate the Retail price the sooner the DOJ can step in and smack them down for price fixing.
If the publishers want more money they could have just started rising price (regardless of the fact we are in the midst of a rather major depression). But to attempt to dictate retail prices by banding together is nothing but an assault on copyright law.
I'm confused. You seem to at first argue that someone has a right to sell his own property for whatever he wants, and then you're saying he can't do so under some circumstances?
Right on. His version is where the car manufacturers don't have any licensing requirements at all, and regularly build cars whose door locks don't work, or where tapping on the door causes it to open. They can also be remotely driven, and the ability to do this doesn't have any lock-down. If the lighting in an intersection is a certain way, the car will refuse to respond to the driver. Yet his solution is to require licensing for drivers, and insurance? WTF?!?
Okay, but on one condition: The police have to pay for the storage. Since the amount of online data is constantly increasing, I figure having to lay out funds for that many terrabytes of storage should bankrupt us
There, fixed that for you (except your subject line; I recommend something like "Sure, if they pay", because it actually summarizes your message, rather than leave us in suspense).

Oh crap, you're right. I was even thinking of some joke based on the principal of a loan, but somehow missed your joke. Well-played!

But it is done heavily sometimes, right?

If these scanners report only half the vulnerabilities, they just need to double the reported number. Simple fix, really.

Does your company regularly buy your chips through end distributors? Even then, they could replace only every 1000th one with a doctored version.
What, there's not an app for that? Probably got rejected...
Yeah, I too was disappointed on reading the rules. I was thinking, "yes, living in the basement and rarely going out will finally pay off!"
Old wording: Finalist in Google's Android Developer's Challenge!

At least he was able to preserve the basic meaning in the reworded version.
These transistors are only about 9x faster than silicon, not 10x faster as the Slashdot headline claims.
How is this any different than "You have wronged me, so pay me money or I'll take you to court."?

So, I guess the subject got shot by the comment, since it drew first?
Yeah, but Google delivers on the promise. My idea of improving my quality of life is not using Windows on any of my machines.
