You don't live in Japan, right? I have been going by train every weekday for four months, it's been late once. 2 minutes. And then I could smell the breaks at every station.
Are you serious? RAR is a compression file format. There is noting illegal about it. And this could just as well have happened with any file format.
Also, I don't think you will be so happy when you get an infected RAR file in email, and Symantec AV decides it'd better scan the attatchment before you even read the email.
Did the Walkman actually use any of his technical solutions? Or did he just "invent" the idea of portable music? The difficult part of protable music is not to think it would be nice, but to overcome the difficulties like making it small, light and robust enough.
For all us not not from the same cultural sphere as the submitter, Play-Doh is a clay-like compound used by children to form various things.

I think this would expose the virus writer to a big risk of getting exposed. If I wrote a virus, I would write it so that I can take it will me to a public computer, infect a few others machines from there, go away and let the virus do it's work without any more contact with me.
Unix copy/paste? What's wrong with it? I copy stuff to and fro quite happily. Or are you whining about the "select is copy, middle click is paste"? Because while you were apparently sleeping, the mainstream stuff all started supporting Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V.
Let me see, gnome-terminal: No emacs: No Ctrl+C never work in terminal applications, and I don't think emacs have ever cared about any kind of UI standards.

If you are using more than 65000 rows, you probably shouldn't be using Excel, but something like MATLAB. Or Octave if you want to go all the way with free software.
Of the 4 sites I visit which have accepted PayPal donations in the past, all 4 have had their accounts frozen. And I really don't visit _that_ wierd sites.
Why do companies develop Windows programs these days? If your program is successful Microsoft will just make a sucky rip-off and ship it with Windows. Do they all hope to be bought by MS?
It's not that scientists shouldn't have to publish their research, but that we should value research that did not yeald the results we hoped for higher.
For example, a study that basically says "I thought this substance could be useful against cancer. So I incected it into cancer cells to see if they died. They didn't" is actually very useful research.
I still don't see why it can't be an extension. If you want it, load it, otherwise don't bother.
As I said in an other comment here, this is not that _I_ need print on the context menu. I have learnt to press Ctrl+P now. This is because I want Firefox to be a good program for a lot of people.
A little while ago I introduced Firefox to another person. Within 10 minutes he had this problem and asked my what's wrong. What am I supposed to answer? That the developets are too arrogant to admit they made a mistake 2 years ago?
After up to a few minutes. I don't like to wait for no reason.
TIckets online? Have to print? Not in PDF? File->Print.
Not available on a popup.
Then that is a better argument against the not showing a task menu than adding bloat to the context menu.
That would be fine too. But I don't see that happening either.
At the end of the day, I'm quite sick of reading on that bug report "you don't work, do you", or "all users want this", or "developers have sticks up their arse because they don't agree with me".
Those comments are from this/. discussion and not from the bug report page. The one about sticks up their arse is a bit over the top, and not about his bug.

You don't work, do you? And you never shop online and want to print the order confirmation? Or buy a ticken online and have to print it and bring it to the event?
You can even add an icon to the task menu if you want, it's in the default set.
The task menu is not there either on popups. People expect to be able to print from a web browser, and when that is suddenly impossible, it's very disturbing.
Extentinos is fine for new functionality that most people don't need. Printing is used extensively by anyone who uses a computer for anything serious. It's not even a new functionality, it's just about having access to printing even in a popup window.
I want to get rid of send link, send image, view source and set as wallpaper.
Send link, send image, show background image, stop and add bookmark can all go away from the context menu as far as I care. I like to have view source available there, but I could accept it going away. Printing is more important than any of those.
Will they be able to take criticism on interface decisions they have taken years ago and argued for many times since then? Many open source projects have these really stupid things hanging over them because developers can't admit they have been wrong all this time. Take this one in Firefox as a prime example.

I can report that it's just the same in Japan, a country that otherwise seems to care a lot about environmental issues.
Why not? Technological changes has been the cause of most social problems as well as improvements in history.

I think you are wrong there. This will be an additional energy drain. Not much though, so I woudln't bother.

Hey, it's a cool technology project. Don't whine so much. $2.4 million isn't much for a such project.

Now Windows Live seems to be just a package of services Microsoft already have online. But what is Office Live going to be? Yes, Im too lazy to RTFA.
I agree. My experience is that the more "stable" a program is supposed to be, the less likely it is to actually work.

There are such extensions. But can you really expect the average user to install an extension just to be able to print from popup windows?
