Um, the difference is that one you must return, the other you can keep as a reference. If it's a quality text book, I'd buy it over getting it from the library every time.
The difference here is that Firefox 2 had plenty of performance and memory issues, FF3's core focus was on fixing those problems in particular. Of course FF3 beta was fast as hell.
Destruction? Never! That wasn't my intent at any rate. Besides - I also said "I won't say it." Therefore I didn't.;) I stand by my third statement, but I agree with you on the fourth.
It seems to me you're putting things way out of proportion. Stallman doesn't belong on any list that contains the likes of the others.
He hasn't caused a genocide or terrorist act, he isn't a racist.
He wants software to be free so that everyone can learn from everyone else, if everyone had this mind-set and wasn't fixated on money or IP rights, we - the human civilization - would be much more advanced in scientific progress than we are. Instead we are controlled by greedy governments and corporations who care only about themselves.
I won't say it, but I feel like I'm only one step away from saying "Rise up! Let's overthrow our governments!" I realize that overthrowing a government would likely be a short lived attempt or affair, but at least they'd be set back in their place. We should be controlling the government, not the other way around.

It is not to be an alternative tech support channel for Microsoft as this has no financial return beyond improved customer satisfaction,
Unfortunately, it's all built on top of a kernel that incorporates all the mistakes/oversights of early 80s programming techniques.
One word: Unix.

Agreed, complaining about performance at this stage in IE8's development is unfair.
However, if we don't complain, they won't put as much effort into tuning its' performance.
That said, it's slow and that's okay for now, but when it's released... *shakes fist threateningly at Microsoft* (even though I use Firefox).
You forgot the theatrical production based on the screenplay based on a work of fiction.
Considering languages seem to "evolve" chiefly because of spelling errors that become mainstream, I would tend to agree.

Mr Eren believes the most likely explanation is that Homo sapiens were simply able to breed more quickly.
"It's not that we were better than them," he said. "It's just that there were more of us."
Damn we're lame. We zerg-rushed them before they could advance in their tech tree and now they're extinct. :(
That said, what's the difference between lower case numbers and upper case numbers?
Upper case numbers aren't alphanumeric. ;)
26 (but lurked for years).
Eric Jordan of the Box2D project will be giving a talk on developing physics games with pyBox2D for the OLPC XO.
Wait, I've seen that prefix before...
A physics engine in python?!?!
You can go ahead and skip 3. Everybody knows it's ??? and 4 is profit.
There is no profit in Vista, unless you mean Microsoft's.
What kind of a fucking idiot would contemplate defying his company in this way?
I thought we covered that already. He has morals.
Note to voters: go to his ralleys with signs that say "+5, Insightful" and "+5, Informative"!
What the hell does POCIPT mean? Why should I vote for something I can't pronounce?
Unfortunately, as a corporation, they are immortal. They cannot die unless you take their capital (decapitalate?), and with it their power.
Heh, funny how that's close to decapitate.
(Did I just "woosh" myself?)
I would hope so, given the title. :)
Aha, you're not a lawyer, your previous posts made me wonder.
I do believe you've just echoed the sentiments of A LOT of people, me included.
Phew, I'm glad Coltan is Still Alive!
Careful, he'll sue you for cruelty to plants for having written on a piece of dead tree.
Then he'll think you're trying to get inside his head.
Make sure you eat any bags of Planters Peanuts you have in your house before you mail the letter!
Oh, I should say. We Canadians overthrow our government on a regular basis, minority governments have never lasted one full term. No violence needed.

Wow did I ever get off topic, sorry about that.
I agree.
