Of course the open source movement would have existed. There's a sizable group of people (including the original poster) who consider it important to know exactly what their software is doing (or at least be able to know). If Linux and BSD never existed, they may have shifted their efforts towards GNU/HURD or some other OS, but there would be an open source OS.

As you have probably noticed, we have often had downtimes. This was because it was so hard to keep this site up! But now we are sorry to inform you all, that SuprNova is closing down for good in the way that we all know it. We do not know if SuprNova is going to return, but it is certainly not going to be hosting any more torrent links. We are very sorry for this, but there was no other way, we have tried everything.
Thank you all that helped us, by donating mirrors or something else, by uploading and seeding files, by helping people out on IRC and on forum, by spreading the word about SuprNova.org. It is a sad day for all of us!
Please visit SuprNova.org every once in a while to get the latest news on what is happening and if there is anything new to report on.
As we wish to maintain the nice comunity that we created, we are keppig forums and irc servers open.
Thank you all and Goodbye! sloncek & the rest of the SuprNova Team
Odd how it's the default in Mozilla but requires an extension in Firefox
I can say that I've never clicked that button in my several years of using Mozilla. Ctrl-T is much faster and more convenient for me and (presumably) a lot of other people. That's probably why that button is no longer the FF default. But, as is the Firefox way, people who want it can have it, without burdening the rest of us. Makes sense to me.
Mozilla was the original version. Firefox split off as a GUI redesign, while the original suite continued to be developed. Both projects are still active, and share the same rendering code (Gecko). The Firefox GUI has been slated to replace the original suite for some time, but there are no concrete plans (that I've seen) as to when that might happen.
That's not really true. Anecdotally, I've had a Radeon 9700 PRO for about 2.5 years, and in that time I've never had any problems with ATI's Windows drivers. The Linux drivers have always sucked, though.

Much of the stuff in the GNOME libraries would be equally useful in non-GNOME applications, so it makes sense to make it available to them.

GTK shouldn't have anything to do under composite. Does the same behaviour occur when using non-GTk apps? Are you sure hardware acceleration is set up for your video card?
Mom and dad will pay $50 to use the Internet, because they need it themselves. Once they have that, an extra $15 for WoW is not that much. That's the cost of going to one movie per month with little Johnny, and you can get much more entertainment from a month of WoW than a couple hours of movie.
The thing is, when you go with a pay-as-you go type of plan, you end up spending much more money per minute.
Not necessarily. I have an AT&T phone that I use quite rarely (maybe 15 minutes/month). On a standard $40/month plan, I'd be paying $2.66 per minute. With AT&T's prepaid plan, I pay $0.25 per minute, which is a much better deal.
Of course pollution is worst in cities, but it's been increasing everywhere. You can't seriously tell me you think that pollutants just confine themselves to a five-mile radius from the nearest city.
But an airline crash only kills a couple hundred people at most, while a civilization-ending event would kill 6 billion. The odds of you being involved in any individual airline crash are tiny, where the odds of you being involved in a any given civilization-ending event are pretty good. So even though airline crashes are more common, it's less likely that they'll affect you.
You don't need a super-high-end system to play most modern games. My computer is 2.5 years old, and it plays (warezed) Half-Life 2, Doom 3, Far Cry, NFS2, etc. just fine. You can get a highly capable gaming system for less than $700 these days, and plenty of kids I know (including myself) have decent machines.
That's not really true (it's possible to get Firefox to pop up if you work at it) and it's also moot: IE now blocks pop-ups as well, so that's no longer a FF advantage.
It's not "progress" when the air is black and you can't breathe. Progress from here would be to figure out how to do all the things we can already do, but without fucking ourselves over in the process.
That's not really much praise. If that were true, it would show that FF doesn't fit in with native programs. Fortunately, it's not really true - there are noticable visual differences between FF's various ports, especially on MacOS.
Would they force you to resign from your job and/or change your major because you can no longer use the internet?
Plenty of people have to leave their job if they commit a crime and go to prison. Yes, it would suck to have an Internet ban imposed on you, but that's why it's called punishment.
We just need to pretend we are the police and start with the assumption that Kevin is indeed a powerful hacker-terrorist committed to causing death and destruction.
Last time I checked, we started with the assumption that people are innocent until proven guilty.

You must not be using the right p2p. Besides, if you can copy MP3 cuts from the CD, then it's not exactly copy-protected, is it?
Okay then. What's wrong with your window manager?
What's wrong with tabs?

I don't know where you're buying your books. You can get many of the world's greatest books for less than $10, or $20 at the most. Or go to a library.
