Hardly sounds lazy taking the trouble to convert his entire business to Linux. The point of the story is he went from one OS where its easy to end up with armed police on your doorstep to one that not only is free but means you don't have to worry about being intimidated for making mistakes.
On the opening of a new tab focus defaults to the url bar. Because of this its an extra keystroke, or piddling around with the mouse. On the more general topic of this thread: Myself I've got phoenix, firebird, and mozilla all with a variety of extensions and I am spoilt for choice.
I am feeling really positive about the mozilla project at the moment I have to say. I said goodbye to Opera a few months ago and am not missing it much.
I played around a lot with translucency in different apps when windows 2000 got that feature. As you say while being cool I struggled to find any practical use for it. Perhaps it might be useful on a small resolution but at 1600x1200 if i want to look at more than one app at once I can just arrange them side by side.
I use my middle button extensively (clicking on links and closing tabs in mozilla) and find no problem at all clicking it. I'm not sure why you want something with less functionality. I suppose you could glue the mouse wheel so it doesn't move and pretend its just a button;-)
Do you find the trackball easy enough to use? I'd love to not have to take my hands of the keyboard every so often (though hotkeys do help obviously). Thanks.
4. Most people who blame and bash the American regime do so for good reason. My sig is taken from another poster because it amused me. It is also pretty accurate imho.
I think Euronews is fairly good and impartial and you get to see news in a way that you don't see anywhere else. I wondered if I was alone in that, especially from the perspective of someone in the US so thanks for your response.
I qualified my post right at the start to make it abundantly clear that I was talking about how I see things.
Feel free to ignore that though and start ranting about generalisations.
Let me guess: "America is the source of all the world's problems. The Government is the solution to all the world's problems. Individality must be suppressed. The Government is the source of morality. Capitalism is evil. There is nothing wrong with communism; the problems have only been in its implementations." Did I get it right?
No you didn't get it right, but you did live up to the American stereotype with your post, well done!
From my POV (I am in the UK) all american news media is right wing. Fox news is so right wing it is like a parody.
For that reason I am always amazed to see some people claim CNN is "liberal". Can you US guys get Euronews (satellite news tv channel)? I wonder what you make of it in comparison to your home grown news channels.

Its funny that they complain about perl for being "obfuscated" yet think code like this is fine.
A (non online) poll indicated about 80% of people in the UK were in favour of mandatory ID cards.
Worthless to you, but not to everyone which is why they are enthusiastic over it.
Its a girl?
I always thought it was male because at a glance it looks like it has a moustache.

Mutt is text-based
;-) sorry couldn't resist.
Oh no! A text based email program, whatever will we do!
Which ones? I'm curious.
Theft can be stopped by really good security measures, but thats not a good reason to avoid passing laws against theft.
Some european countries have very good progressive laws that help protect people.
Its not restraining free speech, its adding more :)

iirc it works on linux, probably under wine. check out galciv.com.
So why do you think they block them every time there is a large anti-gov event?
UK people often say "reckon" and its a perfectly valid word unlike "kinda" and "sheesh".
No mod points so I will just say "great post".

Its like holding a conference in south africa at the height of apartheid.
Thanks for the information, its much appreciated. I'll take a look into these.

1. I'm not sure you understand the difference ;-p
2. No, that is illogical.
3. Totally wrong

As for respectful attitudes... LOL.

Do American phones not have predictive text input?
Not that i'm defending updating blogs from mobile phones, I think it will just make them worse.
