I think we should blame these childrens' behavior on their exposure to the Bible. Has anyone read the gore in that thing? Yikes! King James needs to cough up money so victims and their families can be compensated for their pain.
The whole point of Phoenix is that only the essentials will be built in.
The scheduling system for checking web pages for updates and the JavaScript console are essential?
We're not talking about forcibly embedding an instant messenging client or adding a WYSIWYG HTML editor. We're talking about basic behavior of the browser's interface. I contend that the latter is essential.
No, I want it done for me. The computer can do it much faster than I can. That's why I have a computer: it's supposed to make my life easier.
You need tab browser extension HERE
No, I want it built in. Further, the author declares that Phoenix 0.5 support is "only an experiment." I do not want to have to keep tabs on a plugin, making sure I have the latest version and waiting on a new version when Firebird is updated, for what should be the relatively simple task of keeping the tab bar visible at all times.
Middle click it
No, I want to left click it. I never want to open a bookmark in an existing tab in which I am alerady viewing a document, and middle-clicking activates other features of my mouse that interfere.
We are pleased to announce that we also intend to re-publish the full run of Breathed's 1978-1979 college strip ACADEMIC WALTZ, which has long been unavailable. Details to come!
Screw that. Our parents *chose* to produce us and accept the 12-to-18-year responsibility that came with it (though I imagine for most Slashdotters this extends up to 25 or 30). I didn't choose to be a surrogate for the Dell interns.
I slapped a removable drive bay into my computer and picked up two 40gb drives to go with it. Every two weeks I swap them and make a full backup of vital data (pr0n, etc. is always replacable;-).
The data is encrypted with public key encryption on the fly as it is copied to the backup drive by piping it through a shell script and other software. I keep the private key on a USB keychain storage unit, whereupon it is also (more weakly) encrypted with a password I ingenuiously store in my brain.;-)
The keychain unit is on me at all times. I also have a hard copy of the private key encrypted (more weakly, but with a different password) and uuencoded in a safe deposit box. It'll be a bore to type the page out, if ever necessary, but it'll do the job, and while a piece of paper can be folded/spindled/mutiliated and still be usable, a CD is unusable when broken, and a keychain unit is unusable if magnetic decay visits.
What do I do with the two drives? Every two weeks I have to fly to a remote office. I drop off the drive with the latest backup with a trusted buddy, and pick up the other drive from him, and the cycle begins anew.
Such a move would knock the wind out of Microsoft's stock value overnight, which would in turn be bad for the U.S. economy. There are other economic effects that would follow, to be sure. It would be a shot in America's own foot.
So, in short, it's because using Microsoft software keeps Am-uuurrr-ka strong. *cough*
The TNG and DS9 DVD sets are actually a decent deal, which is quite a shock after the ass-reaming Paramount gave Original Series fans (2 episodes per disk at a suggested retail of $19.99 (!) each multipled by 40 disks).
I'm happy to give my money to companies when they provide a good I want at a fair price. Profit is the producer's reward for producing. However, I don't reward the major RIAA member labels with my money, and I don't see a conflict here.
That's odd, because I said nothing of it other than to identify that they exist as erroneous mental constructs of creationists. Are you sure you meant to say that I was correct about that?
This sort of twisting of information of well-known information is exactly what I would expect, however. Let's compare this to something you said later:
Peppered moths are nursery stories and have little correspondance to anything. I could throw away all my yellow sheets of paper, but that wouldn't make my white paper turn into monkeys.
Are you implying that evolutionary theory stipulates that peppered moths "turned into" monkeys? Are you implying that natural selection in the case of peppered moths has something to do with the evolutionary sequence of monkeys? What did the bit about a dog born with five legs have to do with anything?
What, exactly, are you saying here? Help me make sense of these completely disconnected ideas.
Mutations and diseases are not part of God's Plan. They are the result of choosing another plan.
Yes, and maybe God really doeskill a kitten when you masturbate. Bonus points for the gratuitous implications of all things clandestine, for what it's worth.
Not only is this not the first time, but antibiotic-resistant strains are already resistingbrand new classes of antibiotics designed to beat them when all others fail.
All I'm sayin' is that I'm funneling down the vitamin C like Pez.:-|
In the creationist's mind, this is an example of "microevolution" and not "macroevolution". The latter of these two is the one that Goes Against God's Plan(TM), etc. They'll go along with staph becoming antibiotic-reistant, but not with staph mutating into an entirely different creature.
This ignores that micro and macro are in reality the same thing to educated people, of course.
...how can I "light-weight-o-fy" my existing Debian installation? It's running on a POS Compaq Presario with an AMD K6 233 and 32mb of ram, and even a few copies of spamassassin running will thrash the drive for a good minute and a half. KDE actually "runs", but only in the most comical sense of the term.:-|
Supports 'favicons' in any image format
Supports any image format that Mozilla supports (GIF,JPEG,PNG,MNG,XBM,BMP,ICO). You can even make them animated if you're insane.
Just what I need! A links bar full of non-stop animations cluttering my peripheral vision!

this announcement seems incredibly timely.
A little too timely.

Folders are first by default.
I can assure you, with 100% certainty, that folders are most definitely not first in my bookmarks.
As for sorting bookmarks, you can do that. Go to Bookmarks->Manage. Change the display order.
Display order != folders first.
So click and drag them.

Maybe someone can point out how to change these by editing config files so that I can send IE away for good:
Until then, I'm still using NetCaptor, in which the tabbed interface is much more intuitive and under my control. IMHO, of course.

Because it was opposite The Twin Towers, maybe?
Because the plot was thin?
Because Berman and the other chucklehead refuse to deliver plots of the quality of TNG's when it was in its stride?
What can I say. Right place, right time and all that.
...much like this one.
...the Vice emulator, which emulates the C= 64, C= 128 (both 40 and 80 column modes), VIC-20, Pet, and CBM-II, is still free.
What does a teenager committing brazen theft have to do with My Rights Online?

Seems fairly straightforward.

It's all pretty simple, really.

I give up. Why is this a problem? This is not a rhetorical question.
"Yay, us?"
"We rule?"
"Suck it, Earth?"
