It's important to research where we actually live, not some uninhabitable rock millions of miles away.
We have never been able to give accurate predictions of what lies ahead for anything, economic or otherwise.
However, we are able to model the earth and provides insights into what causes climate change, like carbon dioxide's influence on it.
There's nothing noble in determining the condition of the planet your future offspring will live on? They will live here you know, this isn't star trek.
I remember Hell, I used to be a user. Anyone remember the hacker/phreaker board "The Police Station" out of Minneapolis? That board got me busted junior year because I downloaded their new messages at home, then printed them on the schools band printer on the vax 11/780 before 1st hour...the sysadmin came to the printer and started staring at me. Needless to say I was kicked out of the computer specialty program at the only comp. sci high school in town....Me
Author of the "MPP Wargames Dialer" circa 1984 - ran "The Assembly Line" (Atari 8 bit board) out of Milwaukee 1984-1985...heh, I only programmed in 6502 asm in those days!
As a web dork who gets emails from our users, from everything from norton breaking our website, to lack of javascript to not loading certain images to screwed up browser settings, I would love to tell the user "HEY! ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN, IT'S ON YOUR COMPUTER!".
I would be fired for taking such a 'screw you guys' approach.
So what to do with greasemonkey? Better is to write a script to identify it and put it in the logs --- then you have some information to go by when joe six pack says the site isn't working for him.
In the end though it's one more hassle to deal with, which stands to be bigger than the IE/Netscape 4.x hassles of old. Ugh.
Are there any sites which recognize the adblock plugin being used on their ads, and block firefox users, or give them a reminder of their 'social contract'?
I handle the ads infrastructure/programming/etc for a very large website. This is what pays my bills, and all the content producers I work with.
Of course you could stop visiting our site, but how would this matter to us, except our servers would respond a little faster to the 90%+ users viewing the ads without the extra ppl who block our ads. In addition, our serving costs go down.
Sure -- some sort of air dispersed virus that codes for telemerase would give all those lucky enough to catch it cancer in all infected cells (or at least would set the stage)

Very small minority? You need to stop listening to Rush Limbaugh (it's okay, you can admit you spend your afternoons screaming 'ditto' at the radio)
So, prove it.

Could being a fanboy be addictive as well? Signs point to yes!
Is this supposed to be a humor peice? I laughed a bit when I thought it was, but you took it too far in the end.
Keep your head up and keep trying though!
some bunny doesn't wike when his favowit sofware is criticised. awwwwwwwwwwwww!
It's interesting that there was an article today about the bug/QA testing of the linux kernal too...
You know, open source, millions of eyeballs (looking at pr0n, and clueless about the source)
You are totally correct.
The adblockers made their move, now it's time for the websites to make a counter-move.
Are there any sites which recognize the adblock plugin being used on their ads, and block firefox users, or give them a reminder of their 'social contract'?

Eh, I would start earlier than that if you really want to slow your rate of aging.
Most of the hard aging is done between puberty and 20, when all your homones ramp up to obscene levels. Bad I tell ya.
Problem is, swing has been that way since the first time I saw it, in 1998!
I know the guy who did the swing grid control -- friends and I used to give him shit all the time for how slow it was.
