Epiphany does this, you define a number of keywords and when you add a bookmark you choose which keywords should be applied to it.
Then when you type a keyword into the address bar, it lists all links that match those keywords. It will also automatically add search urls to the dropdown if you've put a %s in the relevant place in the URL.
The copyright owner can license the code how they see fit. Even if they've released it under the GPL. They can still sell that code to others under a different license.
For instance the Mozilla code was all written under the MPL. They got agreement from all developers who'd contributed to tri-license it as MPL/GPL/LGPL. The fact one of the licences is GPL doesn't stop the code being used in closed sourced products like Netscape under the MPL.
If you use a piece of GPL code in your product that licence cannot be redacted, unless you contact the developer(s) of the GPL code and get a different license. Your code is not automatically GPL though. If you decide you don't want to get a different license for the code, or release your code as GPL you have another choice: you can rip out the GPL code you borrowed and write your own code to provide that functionality.
It does work properly, Ctrl-C to copy, Ctrl-V to paste or if you prefer the GUI Edit->Copy, Edit->Paste. Doesn't matter if the source application is closed.
If however you're trying to use the traditional X method and thinking of it in cut & paste terms then you're not understanding how it works. It's more of a graphical way of piping content from one application to another. So both apps need to be open unless you use an intermediary like Klipper.
I've tried it on my brother's XP machine (1.6Ghz) and it is excrutiatingly slow. Especially when compared to the equivalent functionality on my Linux machine (800Mhz). The switching is instantaneous (now that's "fast user switching").
They should have just left off the "fast". Or should it be called "light speed user switching" under Linux?
You have to be kidding, Highway to Heaven was sappy, putrid, barely watchable rose-tinted nonsense. The two don't even compare. True, the odd episode of Quantam Leap had me reaching for the sick bag/remote control, but it was a rare occurance was leaps and bounds beyond H2H.
Reminds of when Patrick Stewart said that when he first saw Red Dwarf he thought it was a rip off of Star Trek.
Most TV Sci-Fi is derivative of literature done years ago, and doesn't even come close to covering the scope of literary SF.
One big problem I've noticed with it is that it tries to treat and HTML page like an form in a local application, e.g. it pretends you can happily place widgets wherever you like. Then translates that into HTML using absolute positioning to place the form elements.
It's far to easy for this approach to fall apart in a browser, even one it is targeted to. User preferences (font sizes, etc.) can easily make your carefully laid out form look a complete mess.
It looked fine for native windows apps (Windows.Forms) and an improvement on what was there already, but from a web authoring perspective it failed to understand the underlying technology, i.e. settings to target individual browsers but none to target standards.
Because it's not banning it against the popular will, it's banning it against the will of a noisy minority. The vast majority of the UK population want a ban.
Battlefield 1942 has got my brother using the Linux partition I set up on his machine a while back. It's unplayable under Windows (way too slow), and apparently his is not an uncommon experience.
It's not a bug, it's treating the linked text of links to a page as additional metadata. Which is a very useful feature if the page is about a subject yet hasn't used that exact keyword in its content.
For example you might search for "horror author" and a page on Stephen King comes up, even though the page itself calls him a "horror writer".
"Even with Office formats, you're not completely stuck if your version of office can't open the latest version of the.doc format. You can always download openoffice or something else and convert them."
That's not because of Microsoft though, there's no "Save As... Open Office format" option in Word.
Patents are meant to be non-obvious; software patents are too often extremely obvious to any programmer. It's nothing to with a programmer deciding what should happen to their program. That's what copyright law is for. People too often get software patents for things that others have already done, been doing for a long time, or is an obvious step for anyone wanting to solve the same problem in software.
Solutions do tend to come naturally depending on the problem in programming. And frequently the same problem will be solved in the same way by a group of disparate programmers who have never met before, just because that's the logical way to solve a problem. If one of those manages to get a software patent, the others are screwed, despite coming up with the same solution completely independently.
If that was the case you would have thought they'd have fixed some of their basic usability problems, for example using an up to date copy of Windows XP Professional. Someone sent me a jar file asking how to open it. It just sat there useless as far as windows was concerned. It knows what a zip file is, yet can't recognise the jar file as a zip. I had to rename it file filename.zip before it would open it.
The same thing with text files, if it doesn't have a.txt extension windows doesn't have a clue what to do with it. You have you specifically associate it with something. If it has no extension it's even worse, it asks you every time you open the file.
These problems don't exist on Linux. If it's a file format it knows anything about it'll open it.
Those aren't problems, they're the reality. Society has always been made up of families of differenty types, so it's disingenuous to suggest that any particular myth of the family is the correct one. A loving supportive home is the most important aspect, whatever its form. Society has to be capable of supporting all forms of families.
I love how all the discussion of marriage leaves out the most important part: children. At the end of the day, the traditional family has been society's way of creating social units to ultimately raise the next generation.
You're too late, that particular horse bolted back when they allowed divorce. The traditional family myth harks back to a time when parents regularly died in their thirties; so broken families have always been a part of the overall picture of society, whether through death, infidelity, or separation.
And you need the full version of Adobe Acrobat to get access to that add on. It's also not just for Word, it's acts as a print driver to the OS so is usable from any application that can print.

They used GPL code to bootstrap SFU though. You can even download the GPL from one of their FTP servers:

Can you install Internet Explorer on Linux?
Yes, it works under Crossover Office. Just as poorly as it does under Windows.

"because, as they say, it would add bloat and they'd be chasing a moving target."
That's rubbish. Mozilla implements the standards, all they need to do is follow the standards and Mozilla will support it. No moving target there.

Mac OSX doesn't run on all PowerPC based hardware though does it? Just a subset. So there's your answer right there.

And the reason for those laws (that discriminate against homosexual couples) is that homosexual couples will not breed.
Not with each other maybe, but homosexual couples do have children through other means: artificial insemination, surrogacy, adoption etc.

Are you talking about it opening native Open Office documents, or importing Word Documents?

OK, so I just made that up. But that's my unofficial definition based on observed word usage...
