> FF had tabs long before most other browsers (except perhaps Konquerer), had anti-phishing, and in general was once light and fast.
Firefox was far from being the first browser with tabs. NetCaptor introduced them, Opera implemented them in 2000 while Mozilla was 2002. As for your vaunted Konqueror, that browser didn't have tabbed browsing until 2003.
What? The guy who ripped off A.E. van Vogt's Voyage of the Space Beagle is dead? Man, I'm glad that the studio settled out of court making them technically correct to dismiss the charges but who settles out of court when they are innocent in the first place?
I sincerely hope that people understand such legislation has its foundations in the fact that launch vehicles are very expensive and nothing to do with the pilots and passengers. Even taking into account the investment made in people while training astronauts can be sizeable it still pales in comparison to the expense of using a chemical rocket to boost a tiny payload into low earth orbit. $10,000 per pound in 2001 dollars. Once the price of lobbing things into space becomes reasonable, there will be deaths, once again nobody will care in the same measure nobody other than relatives of the victims bats an eye when a plane crashes today. What does NASA expect of all of the space programs? To have an unrealistic safety record which would put General Products to shame? Sometimes the tree of science needs to be watered with the blood of the brave and the bold.
43.5 megabytes for Adobe Reader just to read PDFs while an alternative like Foxit is just 5 megabytes to download, has a smaller footprint with minimal to no bloat. I've never had an issue with the latter and will use it to open PDFs that were unavailable with Adobe's products.
The third act is where the movie devolved into traditional Hollywood tropes. The long-awaited shootout with the asshole who has been hounding the protagonist since the first act. Pitting two factions, MNU + Nigerians, against each other. The hero being saved by the downtrodden prawns at the very last minute. The little alien Wesley Crusher who's in the downed alien craft and after 20 years discovers how he can wake up the mothership to save the day. How the love for an adult and his child can make anything happen. Finally two adversaries become friends much like Dragonball Z. Everything leading up to the end was good but it's like they ran out of ideas. Okay, they ran out of good ideas.
Claiming that Jupiter's purpose is our solar system's vacuum cleaner is preposterous. Yes, it will catch more stuff due to its surface area but the volumes involved make Jupiter's influence negligible.
Eight forms of human language remain uncracked by modern linguists. Surely trying to speak Ventaxian and understand their communication will be nigh impossible. Heck I don't think their characters have been encoded into unicode. Let alone knowing how their transmissions are encoded or even if they have a concept of DRM. If we don't know their codecs then those broadcasts will simply fall into the cosmic background radiation and remain lost to us until these aliens do something as gross as landing on the White House lawn and actually share their technology via their universal translator. Who's to say they're even going to be interested in humanity at all. They may decide that ants have a far older and more interesting worldwide civilization which fits their xenothropic principle rather than appealing to our hubris that nigh-hairless primates are the pinnacle of culture and society upon this ball of mud. On the bright side this guy says it'd be easy to figure out the grammar of a living alien language but there's still the problem of idiom which would only serve the muddy the waters of communication and possibly precipitate conflict.
Greed. Greed never changes. The Romans waged war to gather slaves and wealth. Spain built an empire from its lust for gold and territory. Hitler shaped a battered Gemany into an economic superpower. But greed never changes. In the 21st century, nations desired and aquired rapidly diminishing resources. Only this time, the price was the USA, taxes and kickbacks. Owed billions, China would invade Alaska, Microsoft would move to Ireland, and the European Union would go "LOL FREEDOM" and tax Microsoft into oblivion. The end of the internet occured pretty much as we had predicted. In 2011, the storm of international piracy had come again. In two brief hours Lars Ulrich was reduced to a whimpering shell of a man sucking cock for wooden nickels. A great cleansing, no one would bail anyone out of this ever again. Nudes of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton interrupted every broadcast. Original content was no longer possible having reached a critical mass singularity of that damned cat. Our nation was almost extinguished, the unemployed walking upstairs and shielding their eyes from the sunshine of a brand new world. Vlad farted. However, a few managed to survive the devistation, using GNU/Linux on thousands of underground rackmounted servers full of interracial futa doujin. When everyone shut the fuck up these vaults once again opened and their inhabitants emerged to begin their lives again. From the ashes of multinational corporations a new civilization would struggle to arise. But the butthurt runs deep and Anonymous has not forgotten. This is home. Your basement. And things are about to change.
Amazon should've made the Kindle into a loss-leader much like video game consoles. This strategy would bring down the price of the Kindle so its accessible to everyone. Also they should really ditch DRM support. Books are meant to be shared.

Mmmm, bacon.
Less than a century ago 1/4 of German citizens were unhappy about receiving tattoos on their left forearm.
How times have changed!
So Taco is a MS tool nowadays? This shit doesn't run on Linux.
I hope the website gets $10,000 for going into hiding like that!
So I can go 500 miles but what kind of speeds will I be experiencing? There's a difference between doing 40mph and 80mph through the Nevada desert.
You're welcome! I didn't want you to interrupt your cp browsing.

Quagsire or swampert are superior when it comes to fire because they are both supereffective against fire being water/ground.

It's not the first bright spot observed on Venus. There was one back in January 2007 where there both hemispheres brightened at the same time.

Maybe they'll use the short pulsed ultraviolet lasers to make sure lightning strikes the vicinity of vast capacitors to generate energy for a city.
Oh AC! You can say shit on Slashdot. For fuck's sake leave AOL already.
You know, they could make an additional six billion by creating games people actually want to play in the first place.

So the government has the capacity recover data from a disk which has suffered from dd where everything's been overwritten with null bytes?
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda
Oh, would it now?
Does anyone have a torrent of this?
