You wouldn't if you had a mouse with side buttons, trust me (I love my mouse, which is the one thing I admit Microsoft made really well). But the 'close' and 'open in new window' are seriosly good.
Is that a CD-R she's holding in one of the pictures? It sure looks like one. I find it extremely ironic, if so. Then again, it may be an on-topic pirated DVD:-)
The solution to avoiding identity theft is not multiple numbers, because all of the can be stolen. The solution is not basing identity on numbers. If all it takes for you to prove that you're John Doe is a damn number, it's insecure. As long as the ID number is not used for identity proof, the theft would not matter. Ideally, you could go around with your ID/SSN number on your T-shirt, and people not be able to do squat with it (the stripes on the shirt and the pictures, front and side, are extra). Plus, my guess is that the ID number would be the SSN. Isn't that what the driver's license number is too, anyhow? View it as a federal-issued driver's license. Some (all?) states issue ID-only licenses to those who don't drive. This should be the same. Optional, but you can't do some stuff without it (just like you need to have a license in order to drive, not just the driving knowledge).
I don't back eliminating polictical donations, because I believe that people should be able to back those whom they like.
True. But, as some of the responses point out, there are problems. Why can't we just make them be anonymous by law? You can give them $, but they don't know who did it.
That sounds pretty cool. Too bad it's only for IE. I hope Mozilla includes one of those, once they get rid of real problems and have time to add cool stuff.
Well said, but I'd also like to point out that this feature (right click on button release) is also how the Windows Explorer(at least my win98 box) works too. I'd say most Windows users are used to it. And the ones that don't use Windows are power users anyhow, right?:-)
Okay, reminded me of a joke, so there it goes:
The Sgt instructs the soldiers to jump off the aircraft, 2 seconds later, open their chutes; if it malfunctions, to open the reserve chute, and land. There will be a truck waiting for them. They jump, and open the chute. It screws up. They open the reserve. It doesn't go off.
Soldier: "Damn, this sucks. I bet when we land the truck isn't there either".
No way. Opera is pretty darn good too. And while I also have Mozilla, I don't think I'll be switching to it as a default browser under Windows till they support mouse gestures. Gotta love them. And having each web page as a child window is nifty too.
I don't know about yours, but it reminds me of one of my 'spare' computers (the one that used to be my main computer a few months ago, before I bought something better). It is a 486 at 133 (Cyrix 586 or something) but the motherboard will only run it at 100 MHz. It is effectively underclocked, and it bothers me. Grrr. (sorry, had to share the pain).
And sure, some backwards people would prefer no scripts in their HTML, but the rest of us actually prefer the design flexibility... and it's just a fact of life that browsers have different, mutually incompatable bugs in their implementations, as well as "additional features."
Sure, being able to have scripts et al is great. But I just hate it when a designer implements a simple link as javascript (there goes my option of opening in a new window), use java for something that could be done with a (smaller) animated gif, reinvent the wheel for doing something that could be done with HTML but they do with javascript/java/whatever, etc. The ones I like are the ones that make Flash banners. I purposefully uninstalled Flash, so I don't have to look at their crap.
Yes, I remember getting a whole lot of lemmings on a small place, then making them all explode at the same time. Pretty cool, but could be considered violent. BTW, did anybody else find the level codes extremely easy to crack?

That was sort of the whole point.

Don't forget the checksum. Browse at -1 and ask the script kiddies about it.

Sure, you get billed a small percentage of the national debt!
I think you mean to say "United States + Canada", not "North America".... Mexican netowrk security is not as dependent on those encryption codes.
Unless such prime number has a government backdoor that could be cracked... (insert witty anti-anti-missil comment here).
Coooool! What dark alleys does he usually go by? Cause I sure could use some money.

Definition of "emulate." According to parts #1 and #2, we are emulating the virus, sorta.
Perhaps not rows and rows of them, but it does indeed have some crosses. Grey, but then again Cheney didn't say they were white either...oh well.
That reminds me of walkman I have, with "anti-rolling mechanism." I wonder if Mick Jagger knows his band is being boycotted...

Well, my browser includes a 'search google' (or other search engines, as configured) field in its taskbar. So there :OQ

Not a good way indeed, especially if you consider that there is also a virus (IIRC) that plays one of those songs, too.

I thought his record would be erased on his 18th birthday. At least that's what happened to my friends' records on possesion, etc.
