Especially when they're talking about using it through the command-line, for chrissakes. I can definitely think of some good examples of the command-line speeding up tasks immensely, but when you're dealing with graphics it's absurd to suggest most of the tasks (i.e., not mathematically generating abstract patterns or completing very simple tasks like red-eye correction) for which people use Photoshop can be completed more efficiently through scripting.
Graphic-intensive solutions for graphic-intensive problems...
The OP's argument was that the write-up was biased. You're hardly contradicting this by arguing for the use of the same terminology to score political points. And honestly, how much more patronizing can you get than starting from the assumption that people won't understand what you're talking about unless you frame it in grandiose good-vs-evil, Bushian language?
I don't have that much RAM to start with. But yes, on a Windows XP box with 512MB RAM, 10 or so Firefox Windows open, and standard extensions like AdBlock (but none on their leaky extensions list) enabled, Firefox's memory consumption will likely grow overnight to consume all or virtually all available memory. I haven't tried this with any of the latest builds, but if you go back 6 months, to the versions everyone was complaining about and you were presumably defending then, I can guarantee you that you will be able to reproduce it reliably. No such guarantee for the latest versions, which, as I said, seem to represent significant improvements.
I also don't quite see where gender fits in to the highly critical media and corporate response to Dunn's actions. On the other hand, I doubt very much that you'd see the Slashdot headline "HP's Dunn as Newsweek Cover Boy" if she were a man...
Noting a problem is hardly trolling. If I leave my Firefox windows open overnight alongside a bunch of IE windows, and it's Firefox that's taking up all the memory by morning, I consider that to be a problem. Not one that prevents me from thinking it's the browser most worth using, but a major invonvenience nonetheless.
And that Wiki guide, while helpful, does not present a solution to memory leaks besides ones triggered by extensions. The very nature of a leak means that it can't be handled through the solutions in the Wiki, which involve lowering the amount of memory Firefox is supposed to use.

That said, the latest builds have improved things dramatically and it looks like devs are really taking the issue seriously (thanks in part, no doubt, to the complaints of many "trolls").
They don't seem to have any mechanism in place to actually monitor this, however. My school and I'm sure many others give users aliases to their email addresses, so they can be both firstname.lastname@xxx.edu and flastname@xxx.edu, and many people use their aliases for joke accounts. I'm pretty sure this is only in the ToS because they're worried about the system being totally saturated with fake accounts, and they don't care about a few "Karl Marx"es here and there.
That's the point. You would miss that fact if you were profiling, and were ignoring anyone who claimed or outwardly presented themselves as a "patriot" or, perhaps, bore an NRA membership card (a dubious test of patriotism, even the stereotypical kind you seem to be talking about here). Because they don't go around burning flags all the time and you can't tell the intricacies of their ideology by looking at them, it'd be difficult to profile them using any simple technique.
How many folks fitting the profile of "red-blooded-NRA-card-carrying-love-this-country-o r-leave-patriots" have been blowing up planes?
You're right, technically. But if we're talking about planes and buildings, which tend to have a lot more people in them, you might want to remember who perpetrated the Oklahoma City bombing. And that other members of similar extremist militia movements certainly fit the "NRA-card-carrying patriot" profile.
Too many CSS web developers are trying to reinvent the wheel.
If we were talking about programming here, you might have a point. But this is supposed to be a simple layout language and the whole point is that it work out of the box and be easier than working with plain HTML or a non-standard mixture of table and CSS -based layout. If I tell something to float left or center it with margins:auto, I should get the expected result. We all already know that there are hacks and very complex stylesheets to solve these problems and make things more uniform across browsers, the point is that we shouldn't have to do this.

Well, 1) How pathetic must you be to waste your time downloading shit you don't value? Either that or you're lying, and enjoy getting something for free.
As pathetic as someone who drives over to the record store, listens to something there, and decides they don't like it?
And 2) If you delete a bunch of vital information on a company's server, would you use the defense that "I didn't physically destroy anything, I just realigned some bits on a hard drive"?
Irrelevant, because with piracy we're not talking about any destruction of property, whether data or otherwise.
Another general rule is that you convert "'inner quotes'" to 'single quotes', otherwise what you're really quoting is: "Well, yeah, it is. In this case, while the citation may be there, enough of the text is taken that there's no point in consulting the original article (so it's not like aggregators such as slashdot, which point to the article). The blogger adds no additional content, and effectively profits (whether in "
It's been known for over a month now that they're using Narus, and I don't see what the surprise is. Our government's turned increasingly towards privatization, and, given the state of much of the national security infrastructure, does not exactly have its shit together in terms of developing its own information technologies.
Still, the amount of traffic these things can handle is pretty impressive.

Or, since if you buy it you will in all probability receive a fully valid license key, you could just, you know, buy it.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who's found that drivers can crash Linux perfectly well, too.
If you want your DVDs to look exactly the same, only blurrier, then upconversion's definitely the way to go.

You have a handsome head of hair. If that goes as far in Sweden as it does in the US, you'll have 0wned the Riksdag in no time.
