I suppose rain water collects enough minerals on its way down through the athmosphere. That is, for example, where the acid in acid rain comes from, I think, but correct me if I'm wrong.
Regarding CO2, pollutant is not really the right word, but it is on of the gases causing global warming. It would be very very nice if we could avoid that.
Regarding H20, that is not a pollutant. No way. And no one would call it toxic too, unless they're alcoholics.
You don't have to use the console, it just provides more features, is more convenient for some things and allows you to make scripts. So people who don't like CLIs simply don't use (or don't even know it exists), and only the more CLI-minded people care for it, and use it.
Sounds like a good explanation to me, though I can be wrong off course, as I have proved often times in the past.
You have a point, but I thought you wouldn't mind some suggestions:
And when you're typing a lot, having to switch from the keyboard to the mouse to activate a fuction tends to break your concentration more than if you can use the keyboard instead, as well as just being a pain in the arse.
I often find it faster to use the Alt + letter key combination to open a pulldown menu, and then either pressing a letter key or using the arrows to navigate to the desired function. Keyboard shortcuts are even faster, of course.
Or that double-clicking "My Computer" opens a single-pane window without any directory tree...
That's why I never double-click it. Either I press Win+E which opens My Documents with a directory tree, or I right-click some folder and choose 'Explore'.
I also hate the fact that the default settings hide file extensions and don't display hidden files.
I will never work on another open source project again.
Then in your future projects there will be _no_ users contributing to the code and less bug reports (meaning you'll either have to find them yourselves or there are more bugs left in the code). As for feature requests, I don't think it necessarilly is a bad thing. You don't have to implement all suggestions, but it gives you an idea what direction to take.
nVidia's drivers are very stable. It would really surprise if that were the cause of the instability. Something seems really fucked up there: W2K's stability is far better than W98's (let alone WinME).
This happens even when I dumb down the bios to use older PIO (non-DMA) modes.
Does that change a thing? Does Linux (since you don't mentioned it, I'm assuming you're using Linux - I might be wrong off course) even use that information? As I understand it, Linux uses its own information about PIO and/or DMA modes, which you can influence using hdparm.
When reading this article I remembered a story on Tom's hardware, a few weeks after the introduction of the Pentium IV. Tom had posted benchmarks that showed bad performance for the Pentium IV; a few Intel engineers reacted by providing code compiled with Intel compilers with Intel optimizations.
This improved the Pentium IV results significantly, but, surprisingly, it also improved the Athlon performance. View the results here.

I don't really mind editing text files; my problem is finding the documentation what, where and how to change them.
I've tried before to find some docs on Mozilla configuration, but unsuccesfully. Can anyone throw me some pointers?
I believe Borland still uses this as the default for its Delphi and Kylix IDEs. Then again, it's been a while since I used Delphi so I'm not sure about this.
Well I think it is very important in object oriented programming. Any programming system lacking that feature is not object oriented in my regards - object based perhaps. OOP can be defined as 'encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism'. Without inheritance, you also loose a great deal of polymorphism (I don't know in other languages, but in a strongly typed language as C++ there simply is no polymorphism without inheritance). That leaves you with just encapsulation. Not enough to gain OOP-status.
I live in Europe so the DMCA and newer and/or more freedom-limiting laws don't apply to me, at this moment.
But the US have a strong influence in international organizations, and Hollywood, Microsoft et al. have a lot of money to spend for lobbying everywhere around the world. I hope it doesn't happen, but I wouldn't be surprised to see DMCA-like or even worse laws coming to Europe in the next few years.
I beg to differ. The COM code I have seen quite remarkably resembles instantiation of and passing messages to objects in an object-oriented paradigm. Let's not forget the giveaway: the acronym itself. Component Object Model. Microsoft has been a big booster of the "object-orientedness" of its component architecture
You're right in a certain sense: COM (and DCOM) supports objects, no doubt about that. And it supports interfaces, and data hiding and encapsulation.
But it does not support an important feature of object oriented programming (as opposed to object based programming): inheritance. True, you can create a new COM object which uses the same interface as another one and thus offers the same functionality; but you have to code all the functions again for every new object. Granted, often it can be as simple as a forwarding wrapper, but it's a major pain in the ass in a large object hierarchy. Trust me, I've been there.

On the contrary, in Dutch (at least the way we speak it in Northern Belgium), we always use it as a collective noun. So we say "ik heb dat met lego gemaakt" ("I built it with lego").
When referring to the individual parts, we call them "legosteentjes" (dimunitive of "lego bricks") or "legoblokjes" (dimunitive of "lego blocks").

Actually, no, it's not safe, as explained in this comment. I guess small amounts won't have significant effects, though.

Don't you still need a license, even if you only distribute binaries?

OK, so it isn't really the US heavily influencing us, but the WIPO. But that doesn't change my point.
