. ..they don't come with reference materials like images, track listings, artist's notes, etc.
How many real CDs come with anything more than half-assed attempt at these anyway? Considering the crushing heel of the RIAA, those incentives have lost their appeal for many people I imagine.
No, it's not impossible to maintain, and I'm of the opinion that no amount of skepticism is enough.
Absolute skepticism is arrogance, or at least an utter lack of trust in the experiences and knowledge of others.
You hear something from a friend, but you're skeptical, so you go look it up. You find ten other people that agree with what your friend said, but you're skeptical of them. Where does it end?
When people say absolute skepticism is impossible to maintain, they're not lying; it is impossible. Eventually you have to give in to trust.
Personally, I'm willing to accept that current observations pertaining to climate change are the result of a combination of this increased output and the pollutants we've pumped into the atmosphere.
Nice having a choice again, isn't it? We have at least* two browsers that are worthy, and now we can be picky about little details like that.
Oh, absolutely.
Opera's a fine browser, and I'd really like to use on a regular basis, but little things like that are deal breakers for me: A cookie management interface that's worse than IE's. "Apply these settings for entire domain" vs. "Accept cookies for server/domain"? Huh? Entering "google.com" should produce the same result as the first option, but... it doesn't. Argh.
Ok, that's weird. I hadn't ever touched the setting, so it was at it's default (Use moderate filtering (Filter explicit images only - default behavior)). Turned filtering off completely and GWB's biography and MichaelMoore.com show up.
Now I know, without touching anything, this worked some months ago. That means Google changed something recently...
... instead of chasing all the other junk (porn, pharmaceuticals, etc. websites that do the same with far more malicious intent.
Do we know that they haven't done this? Pointing to the ones that still exist isn't exactly proof that they don't delist others. BMW Germany, and potentially Ricoh, aren't exactly low-profile companies to have this happen to, which is why we hear about it...
I mean, pagerank abuse is rampant on 'blogs (example).
Huh... If anyone is wondering, a search for the word "failure" used to bring up G.W. Bush's White House biography as the first result. It doesn't seem to anymore.
I'm a little surprised. I remember a story several months back saying that IE7 would only work on Vista. Is this just a special build with limited features, or will we see IE7 be backwards compatible?
It was known that IE7 would be made available for Windows XP for almost a year...

SeaMonkey 1.0 Released

As a result SeaMonkey has a number of features that aren't present (by default or at all) in Firefox/Thunderbird, ranging from roaming profiles, to the dom inspector and javascript debugger, to tighter integration between the email program and the browser to far more preferences exposed and easily editable.
Errmm... Firefox does come with the DOM Inspector, as an extension. You just have to choose the "custom" install.
So, google is still functional in about 90% of all searches, that seems better than 0% to me.
You seem to be implying that China had absolutely no means of searching the Internet prior to Google.
Look, I really like Google, but let's not delude ourselves. This move was only so Google could get, or keep, a piece of that China pie. It wasn't to bring more information to China.
There is no evil here at all. Rather, it is a question of how much GOOD Google will do.
The glass is half full; the glass is half empty. Same difference.
The thing is, you're arguing from the limitted perspective of the Chinese, where having any Google results is good, while others are arguing from the perspective of, well... everything else. Namely that working with an oppressive regime to hide facts from its citizens is "evil", no matter how you look at it.
Google should not take the blame for PRC's ignorance.
If you don't want to take heat because of your "partner's" actions, you don't make deals with them...

Last I checked, MSIE 7 is available via MSDN subscriptions, Action Pack subscriptions, and even Microsoft's own web site.
I just wanted to point out that there is no download link on that page, so it's technically not "available".

Solar variation is real, and there is indeed evidence that the Sun's output has been on an upswing. It's an extremely minor variation, but we all know that small changes can have large effects.
Personally, I'm willing to accept that current observations pertaining to climate change are the result of a combination of this increased output and the pollutants we've pumped into the atmosphere.
Since, like so many people who spew outrageous claims, you've provided absolutely no evidence to support your claim, it's not to hard to one-up you:

Ok, so that was kind of trollish, but honestly... I can't stand Opera's cookie management.
