I got half a paragraph into the article before heading over to bugzilla.mozilla.org and voting for bug 111373: don't allow animated site icons (favicons)
I learned it last year after watching Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Brilliant movie. I shan't make pretenses of being a 19th century intellectual, so likely won't be modded up in this thread.
You use the word 'legalese' in your post. The connotation of this word, which I wholly agree with, is that legal jargon is a language separate from English. Claiming that anyone who cannot understand a complicated legal document needs to improve their English skills is just absurd. How about "If you read this PDF on quantum entaglement from a post today and can't understand its meaning, you'd better work on your English skills!"
Far better to say, "If you cannot pick up <insert a title of a relatively recent, semi-intellectual, 700-800 page novel> and understand it fully, you need to work on your English skills."
At least it's been around since the 1930's. What gets me are the Olympic announcers using 'podium' as a verb. No really. "The fact that he podiumed is an amazing indication of how far he's come in the last 4 years."
You're best capitalizing FAQ, since 1)it is an acronym, and 2)when it's part of an underlined link, there is some ambiguity about which way the tail on the lower case Q is pointing.
I bet that in most of the world, equating black people with monkeys is either unknown as an expression of racism, or something people stopped doing in the 1940s or so.
That's exactly what I was thinking. I think this is something that non-Americans can't really understand...
Gecko has had XUL for about 5 years now; Microsoft liked the idea so much they're creating their own incompatible format (XAML). Does Opera plan to support either of these formats in future releases?
Just this morning I thought "Hmmm... maybe I should try to get this posted to Slashdot. I'll bet a lot of the Slashdot crowd would dig this." But then I remembered that I first heard about the site in a Slashdot article 6 weeks ago.
My friends all laugh at me when I ask about wind power. What happens to climate when there are millions of windmills all over the world "slowing down" the wind? I don't have any climatologist friends though, so nobody gives me straight answers.
During the 'anthrax scare' our health minister bought a load of generic anthrax vaccine, even though it was patented by another company.
The news was talking earlier in the week about the possibility of doing it again in this case. They mentioned an Indian company that's already manufacturing a generic version of Tamiflu. But they also said that Roche is loooking at licensing their drug to generic drug manufacturers so they can still make a buck (or 50 million) even though they can't manufacture enough of the drug.
Sorry to disappoint, but once that permafrost melts you'll have nothing but a bog.
Just ask the people in many northern communities whose houses are sinking today into muck. Good thing there's no such thing as global warming, or they might really have something to worry about!
They didn't say "freely available," just "publicly available." I'm sure if you call up Keyhole or someone, they'd love to sell you 50cm resolution pictures of wherever, if you've got a few thousand dollars.

Umm, OP didn't mention FreeBSD once.

No, if you want Wordpad, you'll need 256 MB. Now notepad on the other hand...

So they can pay for it, just like you pay for an unlisted phone number.
Surely I'm not the first to notice it's not out for Windows yet?
Cause Dave Hyatt worked his ass off for a couple of weeks getting it to work in Safari!

"They resemble a swarm of bees or an orchestra warming up when played at higher speed."
And the sound resembles a human voice when played at higher speed, different modulations, and with occasional pauses inserted!
My friends all laugh at me when I ask about wind power. What happens to climate when there are millions of windmills all over the world "slowing down" the wind? I don't have any climatologist friends though, so nobody gives me straight answers.
Is there such a thing as a song without singing though? I think that was his point.

This is the first comment modded 'insightful' I've seen that starts with 'In soviet Russia'
Worst. Summary. Ever.
While confusing to outsiders, fragmentation is one of the main reasons why Linux is as versatile as it is.
I agree with you, but what do you think is one of the main reasons why there are so many of those outsiders!
