twitch nearly killed my firefox. balls was awesome. i added so many balls FF was taking up 550 meg of RAM. the way Google is pushing the browser is awesome. ACID eat your heart out!
I totally agree with you, hell I went through the same thing back in the day.
My point is that Firefox is a modern browser with modern features designed to work on modern machines, and saying that it doesn't work on older machines very well (which it doesn't) does not really add much to the argument.
Especially when you have alternatives like Epiphany and Opera out there.
Best of luck with collage, try not to get malnutrition and try to sneak a few beers in here and there.
my old laptop had 1 gig of ram and firefox was a serious memory issue. my new laptop has 3 gig and it doesnt matter any more. now i never have to restart it and run whatever extensions i want to.
No but considering the whole cinema laughed at that moment i think people realised its a joke. People really LOVE Amitabh Bachchan in that country.
Slumdog Millionaire is at its core an action / adventure movie, and while it is unlikely that 1 person would experience a life like the protagonist, all those things occur in India (and in many other countries across the globe).
The Bollywood dance scene at the end seemed really toungue in cheek, I thought it was a bit of fun after such a tense ending - I walked out of the cinema smiling. The A R Rahman soundtrack was excellent.
My biggest gripe with the movie was changing the name from Q&A (and also rebranding the book!) and not calling 'Who Want's To Be A Millionaire' by its true Indian name, or at least 'Who Wants To Be A Crorepati'.
Anyway I'm glad that it won the award. Hopefully more Bollywood movies will get western release and we will get to see India's take on the US. Chandni Chowk To China got released in major Australian cinemas about a month ago and seeing it here was great.
Aside from the poor naming of the film, I wonder what else you thought would be offensive to Indians? I've spent some time over there and from my understanding it seems reasonably accurate, at least as far as action/adventure movies go.
Video and computer games regularly get banned in Australia. It would be easy to say they are 'illegal and unwanted' and ban torrent sites for hosting links to them.
I think theres a pretty good chance that might happen.
Until you need your CRM to talk to your ERP to your e-commerce frontend.. what then?
Go with SAP or something and pay a whole ton of cash (if you can afford it)

Hire me to integrate a couple of open source solutions. With a bit of luck, I've done it before and will be able to get it done quick and easy. Then enjoy the free updates and give me a call if you need something else done. I'll be off working on the next customer's problems.
There will always be a market for custom software, because no two businesses are identical.
Funny its not on the list you supplied though. Perhaps carrier status is different than common carrier? It doesn't look like it though, there are a lot of ISPs smaller than iiNet on there.
iiNet is a good ISP. They were the first to support ADSL2 by installing their own DSLAMs (at least in West Oz), they were the first to trial naked DSL. They help push the industry forward. If it wasn't for these types of ISPs we would still be paying $50 / month for 512k / 5gig.
Also I appreciate the fact that MM built the company from his garage like a true geek. Also they were the first to offer TCP/IP.
Not to say that iiNet doesn't have some bad moments, but they are far from the worst in Australia.
They really hate this firewall crap, and have been one of the biggest voices against it.
When the focus of the Republicans' WAS Obama, is it any wonder there were more articles written about him?
This is basic, but press was generated for the following actions:
1. Republicans say Obama is/did X. 2. Obama refutes X. 3. Obama comes up with some crazy inspiring speech/rhetoric. 4. Obama says something level headed (probably left-wing), intelligent and understandable about a revelent topic. 5. Sarah Palin faux pas.
Even the debate mostly consisted of McCain talking about Obama and Obama defending himself.
Not really a troll. Jihad generally translates as 'the struggle'. There are several versions of it.
'Jihad as-sayf' specifically refers to 'the struggle of the sword', or the fight against non-muslims. This meaning is similar to the idea of defending the American Dream, or spreading democracy, except that some Islamic states have no seperation of state and religon.

Yeah, It reminds me of that exploit-Aussie movie, 'Australia', that came out last year. Disgraceful.
Huh?

What hardware are you running?
On Ubuntu:
System -> Administration -> Network Tools
Click 'Traceroute'
Enter Network Address
Click 'Trace'
Not that its not easier from a shell mind you.
Your bullet points don't really make any argument.
Also, see World Of Goo.
The difference would be that the gmail interface is different to the thunderbird interface and I happen to like the gmail one better?

I'm pretty sure you can hit escape at the slow check, at least in the latest Ubuntu and maybe in the one before as well.
In this post MM says they got carrier status in 2000.

Why do we put people with arts and law degrees in positions like this? surely some degree of technical education is required?

ATITD rules. I should start playing again.
