Well you see when companies go to great lengths to piss off their most devoted customers. It becomes an event worthy of celebration when said customers manage to use the product in the way they wanted to when they paid for it.
(Bismarck) Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes!!!! (Bismarck) France is going to house the new nuclear fusion reactor! (Bismarck) If it suceeds, cheap long term energy. If it fails, BAM! France is gone! (Bismarck) It's win win!
Just before someone plugs in an ethernet cord OF DOOM!
Heh. Seriously if a computer gone bad ever traps me in a building, and tries to kill me off. The first thing I would do is take some power cords, cut them open, and wrap the stripped wires in them around each other. I would then go around the building, and plug those wire into any outlets I could find. The resultant short would ground the building's power eventually overloading the circuit breakers, and disabling all of the security devices that aren't on independant power.
I wasn't making any such assertions. I was simply stating that if you sit by while people siphon away your liberty to buy what you want then you might as well be prevented at gunpoint from saying what you want.
Liberty is liberty, and if you rely completely on the government for your well being then you are, in all senses of the word, a slave to what the people who hand you your check want from you. If someone says jump you have to say how high or you are cut off.
When taxes become high enough, and the standard of living on welfare is nice enough you will get people who will trade their liberty of working where they want, and doing what they want with their money for the security of getting a guaranteed steady stipend.
You might want to read an economics book. You better hurry, they are likely to get declared hate speech in a few months. Sociolibs so hate people pointing out the end results of their plans.
(Forgive the last part, but I thought it appropriate to counter hyperbole with hyperbole.)
Actually we whine about activist judges because they circumvent all those controls you are describing.
If there aren't proper controls on the Judicial system to pass a law all you would have to do is make a case questioning a certain law, send it to the judge whose personal opionions match your on, and get them to declare an "interpretation" of it that you agree with.
If a Right-wing activist judge ruled, for instance that the first amendment let people burn crosses in front of black people's houses. The left wingers would be livid, and rightly so.
You shouldn't support something dangerous just because something currently benefits your political party, and frankly an unfettered judicial system is fricken anti-matter in terms of political danger.
Safety can be something other than physical protection. You could say that that quote speaks out as much against giving up you liberty to spend your money as you wish in return for getting the protection against finacial ruin that welfare gives.
I think the svg/canvas support could quickly become a reason.
Check this out for a simplistic demo of canvas support. (Must have Deer Park Beta 1 or greater)
Check the source code. Everything is written in javascript. Security doesn't sell browsers to non tech people. Cool widgets sells browsers to people.
The insecurity of the extensions can be fixed. Even right now firefox has a "OMG WTF THIS COULD BE BAD!!!" screen when you are installing an extension from a new site. You have to go through 3 pages to add that site to your allowed list.
Yeah because in IE you can't write a greasemonkey script that fixes it.
var links = document.getElementsByTagName("a"); for (var i = 0;i<links.length;i++) {
if (/-{5,}$/.test(links[i].href)) {
links[i].href = "";
links[i].onclick = function () {
alert("This link was trying to cause a buffer overflow. It has been appropriately punished. That bad ol' puddy link.");
}
} }
The above was proof of concept and may not work, but I see no reason why it shouldn't

UK: I haven't got a nose.
US: I don't have a nose.
Alabama: I don't got no nose, boy. It done got bitt off by Bubba's houn' dawg.
(I'm a resident. I can say this sort of thang, and get away with it y'all.)
So what you are saying is that humans are the means by which dell computers reproduce.

Shut up you pomo fuctard!
I hate you and all that you stand for!

Firefox 1.4 (The Deer Park Beta) supports svg.
Although it seems that you can't use an outside svg document as an image source.
It also supports a direct drawing interface in the <canvas> tag.
See my sig for a little demo I came up with. (If you have Deer Park.)
The trick is that you then blow up the cliff with C4.
And I here they fixed that problem with dividing by it.
I say kill and eat the tigers, and then sell their pelts for money to buy booze!
So if the balls are testicals what does that make the cord?
I thought that the Matrix was already TRON inspired.
TRON had a better plot at least.

So why do you paste the link to the porn into your post instead of just putting it in your sig?

And to extract it from the water ice you need fire to melt the ice and electricity to seperate the oxygen.
It takes 118 kcal to turn two H20 molecules into one 02 molecule (I'm ignoring the hydrogen as waste for the moment.)
You need two O2 molecules to react with one molecule of methane. This reaction will produce
191.6826 kcal.
Which means that it would take a net energy input of 44 kilocalories per each molecule of methane that you burn.
You better make that a large fire to start with because it will only get smaller the more you use it.
Just make sure to bring a lot of oxygen with you to burn the methane with.

Except in this case the stupidest kid is driving the bus.
But that wouldn't give you an excuse to much around with user.js.
Real proof of concept.
Works on Deer Park Beta 1/Windows XP
