Not sure what OS you're using, but Chrome for Windows never has a status bar. Instead, hovered links cause a URL to be drawn at the bottom of the window, more or less where the status bar would be. But there's no "bar" that appears, just the text.
* Congress demands new Moon program * Nasa dusts off old plans, calls it Ares V * Congress cancels Ares program * Congress asks for new heavy lift vehicle * Nasa hands them the plans for Ares 5
Linking to a library that was compiled in a different C++ compiler (or even a different version of the compiler you have) is somewhere between painful and downright impossible; this is because function name mangling was never standardized and the core libraries are often incompatible.
Couldn't they standardize this in C++? It would make life so much nicer for those who deal in binaries.

In general, the sales staff is paid on commission. If they don't bring in the cash, they don't get paid.
Protip: every job is like that. IT pays well, but attracts a lot of folks who seem to have an unwarranted sense of self importance.
I'm pretty sure bandwidth, equipment, and credit card numbers don't fall under the GPL in most cases.
...that IT folks do the job they're paid to do without stealing!
Sure, but they could use those resources to make something that's actually good in the first place.
Have you read the news lately? Frankly I'm surprised they didn't call it ORWELL.
It's a good thing they didn't call it Jettison Galactic Ballistic Automatic Leveling Lever Autonomous Rear Drive.
(AKA "JG Ballard.")
My car is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, it is responsible for everything it does.
I'm sure they say the same thing about us. Just swap "communist" with "capitalist" and "melamine in milk" with "trans fats in french fries."
Amoral business practices are not limited to a single culture or country.
Do you think a law could stop him? IMDb shows he has several movies in production.

Okay, that was pretty good.
But for a full length movie, I'm afraid we'll end up with another monstrosity from Uwe Boll.
Yes! And ironically, one of Microsoft's best games was open source.
An "Angry Birds" movie? Look, I love the game, I really do. But a movie? Please no.
...by editing thousands of lines of XML files by hand in various directories!
They could make it all constitutional by adding a constitutional amendment. I propose they call it the "1984 Amendment."
There's no reason that Google couldn't include rules like "No DRM" or "Upgrades must be allowed." That would certainly make it more open.
But they didn't do that.

Strange how so many comments here say the same thing:
* Where's the status bar?!
* Eh, I'm switching to Chrome
And yet Chrome also lacks a status bar!
"What is the mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it?"
* Congress demands new Moon program
* Nasa dusts off old plans, calls it Ares V

Man, talk about recycling...
MySpace has developers? What do they do?!
Why not? Windows has a standard ABI for C.
What next, will Google drop JPEG, GIF and PNG in favor of WebP?
The biggest beef I have with C++ is linking.

We could add more, it would be a trivial change.
