First, the browser isn't an OS. (It's a browser, stupid!)
Second, someone's pissed about chrome's separate processes per tab. (now, just close the process on that tab and no more crashes.)
Third, to make firefox useful, you must bloat it up with addons. (evidenced by the 12+ addons I have loaded right now)
Fourth, someone's also pissed about chrome being so fast. (let's not argue, it's just way faster.)
Fifth, If I could load addons into chrome, I'd be a fanboy. (specifically adblock)
Sixth, make firefox able to use different javascript engines and perhaps different rendering engines, then we'll talk about tabs. (which, if you think about it is the main appeal of firefox. It's why people started switching in the first place.)

Linux is a big word for a little lady. Wouldn't you rather have this nice pink computer? It's cute as a button and you can check your emails and even get recipes and diet tips with it!
Seriously, I have to agree with you. My wife used Linux for a few years until her computer died. It helps that I'm a Linux admin. Instead of insulting vaginal-Americans with a name like "della" they should be focusing on things that women really need, like a computer that just works. Colors are great. Though a true accessory would change that bluescreen to match the case color.
clearly, if GPS existed when our forefathers wrote the constitution and bill of rights, GPS tracking without warrant would be illegal.
saying it's not a search or seizure is false. The device itself is searching satellites for a triangulation of their current location. The information is then provided to law enforcement without a warrant. I don't know the law, but this really sounds extra fishy to me. It sounds like the court wants to apply the law literally to a new technology.
If that's the case, downloading movies and music from the Internet is not theft or copyright infringement, since there's no copy being made.
I buy a lot of music from amazon mp3. those are mp3 files. plain old mp3 files. I routinely sweep my collection to fix and unify tags. I tend to remove all comment tags from all files. How then would a "forensics expert" be able to tell that my mp3 is legal?
He wouldn't be able to tell shit. found files with 320k bit rate? I re-encoded everything at a higher bit-rate after applying some cleaning filters.
Found files from out of print music? I have a large collection that I have since sold parts of.
I just have to question their methods and "expert's" qualifications.
If this is solely about anti-counterfeiting, what does ISPs cancelling accounts for copyright infringement really have to do with that?
first, intellectual property is not really adequately covered by copyright.
second, stopping people from making and selling counterfeit merchandise is really more of a police effort, not a treaty effort.
What will a treaty do to stop criminals from downloading music online and burning massive quantities of discs to be sold at market?
They are most likely using an ISP which does not monitor their activities. If they're not, they're either really dumb (not smart enough to have a large operation), or already using encryption (already have a large operation). Either way, the problem isn't in downloading.
THE PROBLEM ISN'T IN DOWNLOADING!
The issue remains with manufacturing of counterfeit merchandise. That is what they intend to address with this treaty, right? Wrong.
You make a bigger bat, and they'll only make a smaller ball.
Think about it. They are writing some pretty broad-sweeping legislation (most likely penned directly by the MPAA/RIAA/IFPI). Politicians rarely write their own material these days. The only people involved are these industry pimps and politicians. Where are the consumer watch groups? Where are the organizations protecting the rights of the people?
Strangely absent?
Diamond Joe Biden is delivering in a big way for these industries. His years of shilling and pandering are about to reach their pinnacle. I wonder how many music or film publishing conglomerates called Delaware home. Well, due to the laughably lax tax rules there, probably all of them.
Here's some news though. Joe, now you have to represent the nation, not just it's corporate entities. The nation consists of the people. The people are supposed to be the government, but apparently Mussolini's Fascism has arrived.
so, clearly you're not American. British, or Canadian perhaps. And here, at least for people with children, not you, if someone is a danger to our children, laws get changed. Now since you're pretty far removed from the situation, and I'm not since I happen to have married a teacher, you listen up. If this woman wasn't a teacher, and threatened her co-workers with scissors instead, she'd be out of a job instantly. Children can't choose to not be taught by a certain teacher. And when that teacher is moved to another school, parents are rarely informed of her history. And yes, any illness which can cause a person to threaten others through any adverse reaction to any medication proves them a danger to either their students or co-workers. So, they should either be removed from their work until they are better, or permanently if they won't get better.
As for your "emotional response" straw man, it's ludicrous. When people advocate for their children, it's always an emotional response. Because we're human. Unlike you, who seem to be interested only in proving to total strangers on the Internet how smart you think you are. Mess with someone's kid and see how rational they become.
She was combative, threatening children with scissors, and clearly not fit to teach.
Oh, and the class was a special education class.
The only safe thing to do, is not allow someone in the classroom that can possible have that reaction, regardless of medication.
There already was a safety issue. She threatened students with scissors. She ransacked her own classroom.
This was a case where, clearly, she wasn't fit for the classroom. (there are no labor laws that protect people who put children in danger where they work).
That's like saying that a pedophile can be a teacher because he's in treatment for his mental illness. No Fucking Way.
And no fucking way this lady should be anywhere near kids. The simple fact that she's on medication which can result in an episode like this disqualifies her for teaching in my book.
Slashdot Mirror
Users are simple. They don't really care what it's called.
They call it the hard drive.
And of course, a lot of users call their monitor "the computer".
Some used to call it the tower.
Others have called it that box on the floor, as if it does nothing.

agreed their argument is flawed, but the concept of the the suit is valid.
If the court upholds this patent, then we should hold them responsible for the effects of their patented genes.
eg. sue them for their patented genes causing cancer.
get the Bussard collectors ready. We need to start storing this stuff!
AT&T and then comcast.
They are in serious need of some trust-busting.

Am I to understand that using a computer can now get you bombed?
From what I understand, these machines only have control of things that can affect money.
why is money more important than human life?
What's to stop our government from suspending habeus corpus just because a hacker isn't wearing a uniform?
declaring them enemy combatants for doing nothing more than typing on a keyboard?
hacking is either about money or principle. Never war. No one hacks to cause bodily damage to others.
Since ALL of our money is in the form of bits, one can simply undo any transaction at any time.
Any computer systems that control things like the electrical grid shouldn't have access internet access at all.
When you think about it, its the unintelligent waging war on the intelligent simply because it's the only thing they know how to do.
If we really wanted to end the cyber-war, we would destroy their computers, not their bodies.
nope, that's not piracy, that's by design.
timestomp all the files. then it's a moot point.
that sir is a no go.

to be realistic, you can burn through a gigabyte in 40 seconds with those speeds.
250GB is only 3 hours at those speeds.
What will they do?
What's the point of having those speeds available, if you burn through your month's ration in 3 hours?
6 hours for comcast's DOCSIS 3.0 implementation. A month's ration in 6 hours. Something's gotta give fellas.
Linux is not piracy. Netflix HD is not piracy. Game demos over Xbox Live are not piracy. Hulu is not piracy. Steam is not piracy.
Something's gotta give.

She was combative, threatening children with scissors, and clearly not fit to teach.

And no fucking way this lady should be anywhere near kids. The simple fact that she's on medication which can result in an episode like this disqualifies her for teaching in my book.
first is tenure.
second reason is unions.
Broward County schools are filled with bad teachers. The unions keep them working.
recently a broward teacher had a delusional episode in the classroom. she had a pair of scissors and was threatening a student shouting about demons.
the union not only kept her job, but she's coming back to the classroom (albeit at a different school).
Bad teachers are a bit like molesting priests. They get moved around schools when people complain about them.
completely agreed.
the only people who spend that much time on youtube are tweens and teens.
they will plonk down someone else's green without thinking about it.
there are plenty of other video services waiting to fill the youtube vacuum. vimeo, metacafe, atomfilms, blip.tv, dailymotion, veoh, and the like.
why does windows 7 have a compatibility mode setting for vista service pack 2 also?
I thought SP2 wasn't out yet.
I suspect google will win this one.
The android data company is just looking for free publicity. I doubt they can afford to fight the legal battle against google.
titanium enriched bugs and stuffs.
installed it a few days ago.
quite nice.
