When I buy a copy of OS X, I buy a DVD with data on it. The only contract I have entered into is the standard one we all enter into when we buy something: money in exchange for goods.
First of all, the manufacturer is Apple. Mac is the product.
Second of all, if were to buy a Mac, then unless I signed such a contract at the time, then the EULA means precicely fuck all. I bought it, I can fucking well do what I want with it!
I'm sorry, I hastily read your post and understood that you were complaining about the irritating middleclick = go to url in primary selection behaviour that Mozilla defaults to.
I'm not sure what you mean by "calling other browsers names". It is annoying to see the good work of the Gnome developers being overlooked when people use Firefox under Gnome, and assume its poor platform integration on Gnome itself, which is what I thought you were doing.
As for your pasting issue: I found it annoying when I moved to the platform at first... then I got used to it. I even had a shitty old mouse with a weak spring underneath the scroll wheel that made trigger a middle click often. I simply replaced the mouse. If you don't want to do that, I believe others have stated that you can remap the middle button to some other high-numbered button that doesn't do anything.
If you use the actual GNOME browser, then you won't get this braindead behaviour. If you insist on using Firefox, etc, then you can disable it in about:config, search for middle and play with the options there.
No offence to you personally, but people who don't understand the Domain Name System should *not* be allowed to cast down ex cathedra decisions like that. It's bad enough that we already have ill-devised crap like.jobs,.museum,.biz,.info,.travel and now.mob cluttering up the system.

Of course it's not perfect. The DB classes should be a part of the PHP core libraries, not implemented in PHP themselves.
Here is PHP's problem:
The guy who started the whole thing hates programming. So PHP was a simple macro language for knocking together Personal Home Pages. But then, people who were too lazy/stupid/whatever to learn a real language and recognise PHP's faults started to use it, and started buliding on it... and it grew, and grew, and now we have what we have, enormous inefficient and insecure warts and all.
Of course, most PHP coders (especially newbies) don't seem to know about this.:(
I wish the PHP developers would put their feet down and remove deprecated shit like register_globals, magic quoting, etc, from the language entirely. That stupid config file can go to. I don't need an/etc/C.ini, or/etc/python.ini to run C or Python programs, do I? "Safe" Mode should go as well.
The people who are buying the book for its contents, not its cover, will buy it anway; and the people who would normally buy "Learn UNIX in 21 seconds" will buy it, and perhaps actually end up learning something worthwhile for a change!:)
"you are free to browse the source code of TargetAlert to see what it does and to learn how it works; however, you are not allowed to copy or modify the code and redistribute it.
...
TargetAlert will not have a "traditional" open-source license in the future because I do not approve of how it has been copied and redistributed as a different Firefox extension in the past."
That's reason 1. Reason 2 is that a Firefox extensions only works with Firefox, while modifying userContent.css works on all Mozilla applications--something I found useful recently as I jumped ship to Epiphany.:)
Can't find the damn site at the moment, unfortunatly. It might have been http://cwis.kub.nl/~frw/people/koops/lawsurvy.htm, but that's offline for now. The site was a big collection and comparison of many countries legislation regarding cryptography.
Not a bad idea, it would be interesting to see someone try it. I should have been more specific in the first place though: the RIP act forbits me from revoking my PGP key, even through I know that it has been compromised.

I had hoped it was not necessary to append "... within the bounds of the law" to the end of my sentence. :)
So I can make new laws up just by filing a lawsuit against someone? Cool! I guess I should sue Tony Blair for being a socialist prat then!

It's all here. :)

And here's how we do it in PHP:

/etc/C.ini, or /etc/python.ini to run C or Python programs, do I? "Safe" Mode should go as well.
$db->query ("INSERT INTO Table (IntVal, CharVal) VALUES (?. ?)", array (3, "Yo' Mamma's"));

Please explain how implementing the same method for selecting a smiley deprives the method's "owner" of its use?

Put this in your userContent.css:
:link[target="_blank"]:after, :visited[target="_blank"]:after,
:link[target="_new"]:after, :visited[target="_new"]:after
a[href$=".pdf"]:after {
font-size: smaller;
content: " [pdf]";
}
I also find the following useful:
{
font-size: smaller;
content: " [new]";
}
a[href^="javascript:"]:after
{
font-size: smaller;
content: " [shite]";
}

Section III has not yet come into force.
What the fuck is a "homicide bomber"?
Say what you mean.
You can refuse them access to your encrypted data, until they get a warrant, at which time you will decrypt the data or go to gaol.
My main beef with the RIP act is that if you tell anyone that your keys have been compromised, you go to gaol. That sucks.
