An how is this acceptable in comparison to the Windows experience?
Apart from the fact that under Windows I'd be wary to unblock even the wanted Flash stuff? I don't have all those Firefox add-ons installed because of Flash performance. I have those add-ons installed for privacy and security (and against sites which get unbearable because of excessive ads). I just speculated on the reason why you see Flash getting stuck and I don't. It just never happened to me, and I never felt the need to examine closely why it works flawless.
While I can say the same, flash on linux is not as good s some people want it... For example it bugs me that sometimes it gets stuck for half a second or so. It's no wonder that some people labels it as unaccceptable.
That's interesting. It never happened to me. Maybe it's some advertiser's Flash using up the player's resources? I use AdBlock Plus, RequestPolicy and NoScript, so there's nothing running on Flash but the stuff I explicitly want to have.
Maybe. But then do it from a Linux computer. There are obviously plenty of them available in that household. There's no need to allow it from the Windows computer which is the one most likely infected by malware from those porn sites.
Pro-tip: If you have a genius following you, throw down a couple rubics cubes. The three minutes you gain will allow you to duck into a crowd where you can hide. Also a poorly edited textbook works in a pinch, but it's much heavier so you'll end up with fewer of them.
Well, just return to the old system where people connected the phones. Except that now the operators first chat a few minutes with the callers. Only if you can convince the operator that you are a human, he will connect you.
GeoIP location is absolute shit. I live in Riverside California, GeoIP says I'm in Nevada.
No, GeoIP location is perfectly accurate. If GeoIP says you are in Nevada, you obviously are in Nevada, and you only believe you were in Riverside California. Probably because someone wants you to believe it, for whatever evil plan, and they made the illusion almost perfect, but they forgot the GeoIP which is the only hint you have about your real loc... wait, why are there black heli&$%@
I once proposed here that not having sex is a pretty good way to stay clear of HIV and was immediately bashed as a religious zealot.
That's interesting, because few religions propose having no sex at all (except possibly for specific groups like monks/nuns and priests). Indeed, I expect any religion completely banning sex to not be long-term successful because the followers don't have children. That's evolution at work!
They produce oxygen as long as they are alive and near the surface. They sink to the deep waters after they died, and even if they still lived they would have a hard time to produce oxygen down in the darkness of the deep sea.
"Team" means a group of individuals joining the efforts in order to achieve a goal otherwise unreachable by each single person.
No. "Team" means a group of individuals working together. Not more, not less. They usually do so to achieve a goal, but that's not part of the definition. And it's definitely no given that a single member of the team couldn't achieve the goal.
Yeah, and the Crusades had nothing to do with Christianity... nor did witch hunts... and of course those people who considered it a good idea to kill abotion doctors were no true Christians while certainly the minority of rioting Muslims are representative of all Muslims.
Ah, and yes, Americans value freedom of ideas... unless the idea is in any way useful, then it is called "intellectual property" and is heavily restricted. Oh, and try to test your freedom by showing condoms on TV...
Why do you need a "supercomputer" to "process" and relay signals?
That's because the real reason is that they want to build a big torrent server there, disguised as astronomical communications server. It has to be on the moon because that's outside the reach of the RIAA.;-)
How are "processed" signals going to get to earth from a station on the dark side of the moon without a line of sight back to earth?

Hey, confirming is Netcraft's job!

Well, the point is that freedom has been redefined. Formerly, it was defined as freedom of the people. Today it's defined as freedom of the market.

Call me when Linux has proper flash support.
I've never had an issue with Flash on Linux.
Maybe. But then do it from a Linux computer. There are obviously plenty of them available in that household. There's no need to allow it from the Windows computer which is the one most likely infected by malware from those porn sites.

The problem is that the next empire will likely be Chinese.
Actually the Anonymous Cowards are responsible for it.

You mean, like Richard Dawkins?
we're looking for _rational_ answers.
Couldn't you at least settle for algebraic answers?
The laws of thermodynamics don't hold for the universe as a whole. Not even energy conservation. Gravitating systems don't even reach a thermal equilibrium if they are too large and/or to cold (the current universe is certainly dominated by gravitation, and quite large and cold). Note also that black holes get hotter as they radiate energy away!
They produce oxygen as long as they are alive and near the surface. They sink to the deep waters after they died, and even if they still lived they would have a hard time to produce oxygen down in the darkness of the deep sea.
A global carbon certificate market crash. :-)

Maybe that's your problem. <gd&r>
1999 called...
Oh my god! Did you warn them?
Indeed, you have to do the opposite: Turn all radios on all the time, so that they can consume all those evil radio waves before they reach you. :-)
60 mHz means about 1 cycle every 16.7 seconds.
They obviously mean computing power. Because the networking is so bad that all processes are blocked on I/O most of the time. :-)

Maybe using a satellite orbiting the moon?
