Are you sure? My understanding is that in small claims court, you are not required to hire a lawyer, but may do so if you want to, at least for New York and Chicago:
Is an Attorney Required?
In small claims court you can handle your personal or business legal matters without an attorney; however, you can hire an attorney to represent you if you wish. If the other party has an attorney, your chances of winning might be better if you also have an attorney.
As pointed out by others many times already, relying on user agent spoofing is a bad idea because when _someone_ look at the log, they'll incorrectly assume that everyone uses IE and continue rejecting non-IE browser, or even worse, write non-standard and incompatible code in future updates.
Having said that, when I really need to use those sites (seldom), I usually add keywords to the string so that it'll pass the browser sniffer but human reader will recognize that it's not the usual Windows/IE. Like:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5
becomes Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5
But by all means, send a complaint to the site owner.
I see your points. But I think it is unreasonable to expect the core team to (manually) fix outdated extension as that would put too much workload on them. However, I think (theoretically anyways) they may be able to provides better tools to help with the problem. For example:
yet another extension, maintained by the core team, to scan for use of changed APIs in an extension.
document a summary of api changes, with recommended usage change where applicable. (They probably have the list of bugs, but I wonder whether they maintain a summary.)
For large files, the bittorrent protocol has an advantage over protocols like HTTP and FTP which I don't see people mention very often. It's the ability to verify the integrity of the "pieces" of the files, which allows the client to redownload only the corrupted part. With HTTP or FTP, you'll need to either redownload the whole file, or uses some other method to locate and redownload the corrupted part (e.g., Bittorrent;) ).

Are CRTs History?

I'd like to know too. If it's a used one, be careful.
I bought a used CRT a while ago. It looks pretty sharp at the beginning. But after a year or so, the display becomes blurred, and I need to adjust the knobs on the flyback transformer to focus it again from time to time.
In fact, when I opened the monitor, there are signs that someone was already adjusting the flyback transformer. (e.g. the focus knob is already turned near the edge; a hole in the metal cover, which could lead to the focus knob, is being forcefully enlarged probably by inserting a screw driver in it.)
In the real world, most mutation leads to cancer, not super strength or special power.
However, if a baby have wings, I imagine the doctors and parents might want to surgically remove them. I think that sucks. (After all, having wings looks cool.:) )
For audio I'll look for something that supports hardware mixing. Unfortunately the sound blaster cards are the only thing that I can get hold of in my area.
CD drives do not use the computer to play audio CD. Drives that do not have a "play" button need the computer to tell it to start playing, but after that, the drive is basically working on its own.
Regarding webmail providers' response to gmail (the 1GB storage in particular), I think mail.com's response is the most laughable. While yahoo and hotmail respond by increasing their quota, mail.com just remove the line 10MB mailbox from their front page.
Besides that, mail.com also joined the crowd and added a link to "Report Message as Spam". However, they don't even have a working spam filter. (They are still using the ancient method that you tell the system a list of sender email addresses that you want to block.)

Agree. IMHO, they should be removing the bad laws instead of introduce more and more stupid laws.
That's precisely what they're doing: a contest to encourage extension developers to update their extensions to Fx1.5.
I haven't compare their speed, but they both use Ghostscript to generate pdf so I guess the difference wouldn't be too big.
This is the first time a big guy supports the jabber protocol so I think it's still significant.
Actually you can report the problem to google here.
:)
I reported errors in their maps before and those errors are fixed. So I believe they do process the error reports.
When I looked at your subject I actually thought you were going to show us the connection. ;-)
Did you ever wonder why his face changes every once in awhile? I did. ;-)

I think that's the case only when you have "My Search History".
I suggest you to try go to "My Account" and "Delete My Search History".

He did mention "deadly Dihydrogen Monoxide" (H2O), did he?
Haven't said that, this thread isn't funny.
For audio I'll look for something that supports hardware mixing.
Unfortunately the sound blaster cards are the only thing that I can get hold of in my area.
The discussion also brought up an interesting point -- When is compatibility not the reason to reverse-engineer something?
When a company create a clone that is mostly the same but intentionally make it slightly incompatible?

The question is: do you weep because your machine crash? Or because you lost your doll? ;)
That is not surprising at all.
CD drives do not use the computer to play audio CD. Drives that do not have a "play" button need the computer to tell it to start playing, but after that, the drive is basically working on its own.
7) Call 911.
Ok. Let's get this straight. :)
So, when the computer crashes, you freeze, and it yells?
