There's a transcript here, although I don't know if it supports what you're saying. O'Reilly pretty much starts off the interview by saying how scary it is that the "stoned slackers" who watch the Daily Show can vote. (Later on, he does say that he's just making fun of the show.) They do bring up about competition a bit later (since O'Reilly was complaining about how the Daily Show got Kerry to come on and he didn't), but that's a ways into the interview.
Actually, the poll does ask about cable news viewership.
Daily Show viewers tie heavy (4+ days/week) cable news viewers and beat the ones that watch less. The poll doesn't break out which cable network they prefer. So technically, Daily Show viewers are just as or better informed than O'Reilly viewers *and* CNN viewers, but CNN's not going to tell you that in their article.;)
The poll was taken by Annenberg, not CNN, and wasn't taken in response to anything in particular.... This PDF from them directly has more specific stats and methodology. (I'm just amused that someone had to classify all the jokes. <g>)
As another example of their commitment to online music, it's also worth pointing out TMBG Clock Radio, which has several hours worth of full streaming songs... live, album versions, and rarities.
As a note, the "PC" version works swimmingly with Wine under Linux.
Dude, whether or not the decision to toss Qute out the window was a good one, it's abundantly clear that they're not going to change it back now. The massive amounts of venom the people working on Winstripe are getting is totally unwarranted.
If you don't like Winstripe, offer suggestions for how to fix it. The designers are willing to take them.
If you just want Qute back, it's not like it's difficult to get, even from the official site.
Other people have pointed out the solution to your first problem, so here's the solution to your second: ieview. If you ever visit a page that won't behave in Moz/Firefox, just rightclick on it and click "View this page in IE." No need to hunt down the shortcut and copy/paste over the address or anything.
In case people are curious, the Gaim developers seem to be collaborating with the Trillian folks like they did last time Yahoo broke. (Here's the bug about the breakage.)
Apparently there will be a release out tonight with the fix included.
This is late, but it's worth pointing out that the new Extension Manager has a whitelist of sites to install from: mozilla.org, mozdev.org, and texturizer.net (via xpinstall documentation).
So this isn't a problem anymore unless the clueless users go add new preferences in about:config or save the spyware extensions to disk (which most of them can't do if they just pop up on page load).
I'm not sure if this is exactly what they meant, but generally a pool game's over when the eight-ball finally goes in. If someone hides it somewhere, the game can't end.
Basically they're saying that SCO's delaying the inevitable.
Wonkette's gossip. And it's not presented as really anything else. They link to stories, generally on more reputable sites, and make comments about them. The "scoops" are laced with heavy dollops of wink, nudge, and psst-pass-it-on. Anything that could possibly be considered a scoop provides prime opportunity to make fun of Drudge headlines, and for more comments. For example: KERRY JOCKSTRAP SIZE REVEALED!!! WONKETTE EXCLUSIVE!!! MUST CREDIT WONKETTE!!!
This is like getting pissed off at the Daily Show or the Onion for not performing adequate research into the things they allege in jokes.
No, that went up about a day after the Waste program was initially posted to Nullsoft. If Via based something off of it, I'm pretty sure they knew about Waste's history.
Removing the program probably has a lot more to do with Via's failure to properly credit Waste's developers despite lifting files directly from them (see here and here).
Tried Helix Player? It's certainly not very far into development, but it's lightweight and still full functional...better than pretty much anything else out there that plays Real (even on Windows), in my opinion. And as you might notice, it's sponsored by Real.
Yes, governments have stupid regulations sometimes. See the topic, though? We're discussing standards, which are different from regulations.
Standards are always a good thing for consumers. They can, however, give businesses trouble (you're allowing their customers to potentially go elsewhere but still be able to have the service they want and/or interoperability between their new widget and the original company's widget), which is why the companies on top of a field tend to not push standards.
Open-source stuff doesn't necessarily benefit from "anti-American sentiment", even in a government setting. Not being fond of the US doesn't mean you're an open-source proponent...it just means you're is going to avoid American software (most likely in favor of a local software company). Open-source does, however, benefit from not being tied down to any particular country, which means that, despite how political debates about various projects might get, they're essentially exempt from international politics, even if the developers for a project live in one country.
I know Andreessen was going for commodity of words, but if you doesn't say something properly with those few words, it's much better to use more....

Not all of the questions are available yet, but many of them are in this PDF on their site.
Tada! KnoppMyth does that already.
Uh.... it was a pen.

The latest versions of that extension are called WebmailCompose, and work with Yahoo, Hotmail, and a bunch of others, as well as GMail. :)
The newest version has the update system working. :)
Or you could install this extension (latest version here) and just click the link. ;)
Not so much E-V-I-L... the book is licensed under Creative Commons, so you're completely allowed to convert it.
Er.... did you read it? It's been out since July 1st, and the latest versions of Mozilla, Firefox, and Opera all already are fixed.
Er.... You mean this Adblock? The one that's currently the second highest rated extension for Firefox on Mozilla Update?
Mozilla was open-sourced in 98, but it was just spun off into the non-profit Mozilla Foundation after AOL/Netscape fired everyone last year.

It doesn't normally (the default is to just open your homepage), but you can make it clone the window using this extension.
