They also seem to have omitted the Function keys, which will suck if you want to drop to the console from Ubuntu or go to a different X instance, among other things that use F-keys.
I ran out of wiper fluid two days ago (lots of snow in Chicago lately), and I sat there thinking how lame it is that the wiper fluid reservoir doesn't have a simple sensor to detect low fluid (it's a 2001 vehicle, not THAT old).
Sure, you may think you want it to notify you of this now, but try driving an Alero around. Anything that might be a problem, it notifies me. Every time I start the car, there is a bell and a light that doesn't turn off until the problem is corrected. Is it useful? Slightly. Does it need to blink and ring every time I turn the key? Definitely not.
I liked the early years of AS up until Sealab, Home Movies, Brak, and Harvey Birdman stopped making new episodes and ATHF got really bad (somewhere around the 3rd or 4th season). The only "new" shows I like are Robot Chicken, Venture Bros., and Lucy, Daughter of the Devil, and I haven't noticed my MythTV recording Lucy recently, so I hope it hasn't been canceled already. Everything else (especially Saul, Tim & Eric, and Xavier) is trash.
Don't know where you live, but even the independently owned theater where I live charges more than $6.50 for a movie. I think $6.50 is their matinee price. Take into account that I generally don't go to the theater alone, but with my wife, and the price doubles. And no Wii game so far has been more than $50.
I believe Opera's current business model is embedded development. They sell Opera Mini to phone manufacturers, and are responsible for the Nintendo DS and Wii browsers.
That argument doesn't work, since Qt isn't fully GPL. It's GPL if you use an open-source license on your software. If your software is closed-source, you need to buy a license to use Qt, which is a few-thousand dollars. If you write closed-source software and use Qt, you're opening yourself up to lawsuits.
I love them, but they need to stop relying on the fire temple/water temple/wind temple/earth temple formula. The puzzles are usually good, but they get repetitive when I play them over and over in different games.
Generally, national chains are not what is being referred to with the "support your local X" statement. If I had an independently run game store in my area, I'd use it. But since I don't, I have to support Walmart, CC, BB, or Gamestop/EB.
When I signed up for my BofA credit card online banking maybe 4 years ago, using SSN was the only option for a username. And the password at that time was 4-6 digits, numeric-only.
I think the main problem with a game like this attempting to teach you how to play guitar is that there is a big difference between 5 buttons and 6 strings, each with a good amount of notes on them. I can follow five multicolored buttons on the screen. Following the entire treble clef and correlating that to the correct string and fret on the neck is much harder.
The fun of GH is that I can "play" rocking songs from the very beginning. I don't have to play Hot Cross Buns and Happy Birthday before I'm allowed to play Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight.
adding more support for web services "to act as content handlers" -- all of which show that Firefox wants to be an independent information broker rather than a simple HTML renderer in its next version.
That's what screams bloat to me, although that's the words of the article writer, not the developers. It doesn't give details, so I'm left to interpret what an "information broker" is based on the little description given. What web services do they plan on supporting? IRC? BitTorrent? Instant messaging? POP and IMAP? Anything other than HTTP and FTP and you're leaving browser territory and getting closer to something resembling the Mozilla Suite.
I use live RSS feeds and built-in spell-checking daily. But these are things that could have been provided through pack-in extensions. There may be some people out there with no need for these features and would like Firefox without it.
Bloated is what Firefox is after two days of use at work, when, inexplicably, it's using 20-30% of CPU time constantly. Although I don't know if it's to blame on Firefox, extensions, or stupid plugins like flash. But I do know that it never behaved that way when I was using 1.5.
I could have sworn the reason that Firefox came into existence was that the codebase of the Mozilla Suite was bloated, and had too many features that a lot of people didn't want in a web browser. And here they go repeating the past.

I'm no expert, but it would seem to me that three-wheeled vehicles would be more prone to flipping in an accident or tight turn.

Babies. What could be more threatening?

I'm willing to bet that their lives have less of a negative global impact than your life.
Daniel Robbins did.
Also, Sony owns the Bond license, which would likely be required to re-release it.
Long answer: yeeeesssss.

Don't you know that nobody profits if it's released under Creative Commons?
This works just as well
Because all sections of Digg are as bad as the games section of /.

The absolute most reliable place to go for weather prediction (and emergency information) in the US is the Nation Weather Service.

So you'd be willing to accept Bomberman: Act Zero?
