HTML is basically an image format, albeit a vague one.
No it's not. HTML is a markup language for the structure of hypertext documents; it has nothing to do with the appearance of those documents.
I'm a big fan of PostScript, and think it should've replaced HTML starting with Mosaic
Postscript's a layout language. If the web were built on it, it would be impossible to use anything except a traditional visual browser. Which is antithetical to the web in a lot of ways. Even something like browsing the web on a cell phone would be difficult.
Your logic is like blaming a rape victim for being attacked because of the clothes they were wearing: blame the rapist.
A better analogy would be like blaming the guy who dresses his daughter like an erotic schoolgirl and tells her to always help people find lost puppies when he knows their neighbourhood is full of convicted pedophiles.
XUL doesn't have a confirmation dialog because it doesn't need it. AFAIK it can't really do anything that couldn't already be done with HTML & Javascript (except for spoofing browser controls, but that's the whole point of XUL in the first place, innit?).
The standalone installer for SP2 is about 270 MB. I believe the Windows Update package size depends on your system, but it's a hell of a lot bigger than Firefox.
You're blaming the shift of technological centres on lawsuits and distrust of corporations? I think you've missed the mark a bit, especially considering that China is run by Communists.
"There is another astonishing thing about Hobbits of old that must be mentioned, an astonishing habit: they imbibed or inhaled, through pipes of clay or wood, the smoke of the burning leaves of a herb, which they called pipe-weed or leaf, a variety probably of Nicotiana."
Caret browsing is off by default and pops up a dialog box explaining it to you in case you accidentally hit F7. Sounds to me like you just got unlucky.

Never mind, I was being pedantic.
An extension is a piece of remote code, and therefore a potentially dangerous program that can be downloaded to the viewer's computer.
I'm not asking you to explain it, just to demonstrate it. If it's beyond demonstration, how can you possibly conclude that such a thing *does* exist?

"Nature is all there is" is perfectly justified until you can demonstrate something that isn't nature.
Yeah, but then they wouldn't have been able to do the graphical equivalent of an s/GIANT/Microsoft/g

Yeah, because as we all know word processing requires intense computation and its speed is mainly limited by the computer (rather than the user).
Ooooh, you sure showed him!
U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!

The next best thing.
I feel dirty for asking, but what groups does Degrassi: The Next Generation get posted in?
Calm down folks. It can't hurt you, it's only a word.
What's the incentive to inquire into the nature of meaning?
Or you can just hit ctrl-n for a new window, which will come up normally.
Right, because there's no better way to specify the location of something in a document than page numbers.
My point is that neither possibility is particularly likely.
Water vapour's a greenhouse gas too, but I wouldn't call an initiative to cut down on boiled foods worthwhile.
A paper isn't a scientist saying something, it's his research saying something.
We can't rule out space pirates tracking our probes back to Earth in search of plunder either, but it's not something worth worrying about.

How is grep more ridiculous than XP's animated dog?
