And most people on the internet by virtue of being international, tend to be very liberal.
What? It'd be more valid to say that most people voting, by virtue of being US citizens, tend to be on the far right. (Not valid of course, just more so). Get some perspective.
You say that the polls themselves are all biased in the same direction, reflecting the viewpoint of likely voters who answer their landline. While I can't invalidate that completely, the fact that multiple polls find similar results tends to weaken the idea.
Not at all. It means the polls are reliable, but quite possibly reliably biased in the same direction.
Interesting, but if what we've just had is at most a couple of years of GW, I wouldn't like the possibility of 6 years with no time for second thoughts...
User-space filesystem packages generally have a kernel level component to expose the needed features to user-space. It could work if wrote a version of the kernel module for darwin, i guess.
XPI's are _not_ neccesarily meant to work on any platform. It's the installer that's cross platform, not the code itself (java runtimes, flash, etc can come in XPIs).
That said, I'd imagine this is written in xul + javascript, so it should be fine.
If you want to disable it entirely, go to about:config and change xpinstall.whitelist.required to false.
I wrote a little extension that adds UI for this, xul error pages (browser.xul.error_pages.enabled), and popup window attributes (dom.disable_window_open_feature.*). Mainly just to learn about xul/javascript, but it's marginally less work than changing them by hand on each of my installs.
Any other hidden prefs that are really useful but you'd never know about?
Ruby might be nice enough, not quite as terse as shell though. Not just the perlish bits: Iterators would probably work quite well in a shell language.
Type about:config into the location bar, filter by "xul", and double click the "browser.xul_error_pages.enabled" setting to turn it on. There might still be some bugs in it.
They're talking about recompiling sections of critical code, like java's HotSpot. It'll be interesting to see how fast it ends up - the startup time is a pain in java, but it's pretty decent after that. I can't find a source for the "no performance hit" bit. It looks real, and quite impressive, but not exactly what the summary indicates;-)
If P=NP then there exists an algorithm for (say) 3-SAT that runs in polynomial time. Exhibiting such an algorithm would be a proof. It could, however, be false but not provable.
I'm not sure what you even mean by neither true nor false, P and NP are sets of problems. Sets are equal if they contain the same elements. Either there is a problem that is in NP that's not in P, or there isn't.

And with -march=i666 -fomit-instruction-pointer, it's dying 110% faster!

Or even Americans.

Or the over on there being -4?
Citizens of canada, who's data is managed by a company that outsourced the job to the USA. At least that's what I got from the summary.
Something tells me it will take you longer than four years.
Not at all. It means the polls are reliable, but quite possibly reliably biased in the same direction.
Nope, I get these indecipherable symbols all over the page :-\

Must not have been the right one after all.
Electable.
Probably. I hear bad things about anthrax.

Who said anything about C++?
I can't believe you guys are so naive... can't you see Roblimo is after free karma?

Seems like a fairly simple story to me, people are pragmatic and just want drivers that work. NVIDIA deliver them, ATI don't.
Well then that would make it false, wouldn't it? "Every nontrivial zero of zeta has real part 1/2"
