I don't know if they understand the sqlite storage that firefox 3 uses yet, but searching a bit, it looks like people have made it work (by dumping the database to a cookie file):
"You know how when you use the internet and you don't really understand everything that happens? We want that to work differently, because Microsoft is making it harder for people you don't know to do the things that you do."
You misunderstand. The meat-grinder test is that upon finding out that sticking your hand in a meat-grinder hurts, you should stop sticking your hand in the meat-grinder.
It doesn't really mean anything. The market cap is often a useful proxy to the actual value of the company (because it reflects what the 'market' would pay for the entire company), but it isn't based on anything other than the share price. For a company like SCO, the share price doesn't mean a whole lot, as there isn't really a functioning market behind the quoted prices, just a smattering of transactions.
I would speculate that the teachers at that school are somewhat above the national average, and that things that work well for them may not necessarily translate to more mundane classrooms.
It isn't possible to 'know' another persons state of mind. She could have had good reason to believe certain things about the girl, but it is pretty muddy to say that saying "You should kill yourself" is the same as pulling a trigger on a gun.
It might not contain all of his calls (who knows...), but you do realize that an official record of pretty much everything that he has done in office will eventually be published, right?
The other alternative would be to integrate a flashblock style feature into the browser as a selectable state for plug-ins (that is, don't run, click to run, always run). I think the big stopper for something like that is per-site white-listing.
Error messages aren't a problem with current GUIs, they are a problem with current software systems.
Ideally, there would not be any error messages (and it would be trivially to undo almost any operation, but trivial to bypass that undo if the user wanted to destroy information).
Presentations shouldn't really involve much of an interface. They should be somewhat canned (so, for this thing, triggering preplanned animations/flythroughs and so forth). Maybe a discussion would involve interfacing with the data.
This is one of the things that really irritated me about all the election coverage technology non-sense; instead of using the nice tools to present more information more clearly (which should be their objective), they spent a huge amount of time talking about the damn tools and how freaking gee-whiz they were.
There is a theory/idea that early humans hunted every large land animal that did not evolve alongside him to extinction (so stuff from Africa is still around, as it learned fear before the human population took off).

It looks like the addon also dumps session cookies.
I was aware that I occasionally talked out of my ass, but, clearly, things have gotten out of hand.
Even worse, they are suing because the company released an improved version.

I have not wavered in my support for clown computing.
Only if we figure out a way to provide all of our transport fuels on our own.
Invading Canada for oil would be the start of a rather interesting period of history.
What I meant was funnier than that.

The exchange you link utterly fails the meat-grinder test.
One atomic weapon at a time. Yeah!
CEO salaries?
(I'm joking; as a shareholder, I think that compensation has gotten obscene, but I don't really want the government solving that particular problem)

There are dozens of comments above yours with the same general statement, so clearly not.
I sincerely apologize for avoiding it calmly.

I'm stopping there, as it is apparent that we have different ideas about what intervention means.
You should apologize simply for using that analogy.
Anywho, an elephant egg is probably close enough, as is an elephant womb.
