IMHO, Firefox is going the way of Mozilla before it. It seems like every release is worse than the one before it, to the point that it's just a bloated, slow, crash-prone mess now. I'm finding myself using IE more and more recently.
The thing that made Firefox take off was the fact that it was lightweight, simple, expandable, and fast. I think they've lost sight of that.
Oh great, the SECOND stupid MP based set of comments in this writeup:) I think I just pissed myself they were so funny:)

I agree. I realized way back with my 2600 that this sort of game just isn't fun unless you're paying for it.
For my current arcade cabinets, I just put all my quarters in a cup and use them for the games. If I run out of quarters, I can't play more until I get more. I've never emptied the coin buckets, some day when they're full I'll take a nice vacation with the money.
This is the dumbest goddamn thing I've ever read on slashdot, and that's saying a lot. Racist too. You know nothing about prison and what being incarcerated does to a person.
For me it's because I'm on the road a lot; if I have to spend 3 days in a hotel I bring my Wii with me. If I brought a PS2 I had a dvd player with me too, with the Wii I don't. I'd love for them to add a software patch that'd allow it to play dvds.
Personally, I would prefer that all those unpublished manuscripts remained just that: unpublished.
I don't understand why you care. I've read the trilogy and The Silmarillion. I tried some of the other books, and didn't care for them. Guess what? I stopped reading them. They can publish a thousand more, I still won't read them, and it still won't irk me in the slightest that there are more books out there.
Plus, Tolkien the elder was a notoriously slow writer. You have know idea what he'd want in regards to his unfinished works.
The wild card here, though, is the virtual console. Those games are locked on to the system they were purchased on. If you get a new one, can you transfer them? Right now, no one knows.
I'm sorry; I meant scrape up the turbine time by going to work for a small regional airline. The one in my neck of the woods takes on pilots with around 700 hours of flight time, and around 100 hours of multi-engine time. Multi-engine prop time is (probably) not the same as turbine time, and you won't need turbine (turboprop or turbojet) time to get hired at a regional airline.
Hope this makes sense. Best of luck with your studies, and let me know if I can help at all.
Getting a thousand turbine hours is not too hard. The only catch is, you have to be able to support yourself on basically minimum wage for five or six years. I'm in IT and a flight instructor/charter pilot as well (flexible IT hours.) If I was in my early twenties and a new pilot though, I'd scrape up a few hundred multi-engine hours and go work for a regional to build up the turbine time.
wtf???? Try to get a payout? Do you think this woman's kids are jumping up and down in anticipation of making some money over their mother's death? There may be frivolous lawsuits (not nearly as many as people think,) but this is a case that the legal system was made for.
I don't think I've ever heard of someone *quite* so out of touch with life in the US before, with your 'paltry' $20 an hour job and $200,000 a year job. In at least 80-90% of the country you can live just fine on $20 an hour, and a $200,000 house will be very nice. Geez!
No, I'm not in porn, I was just there for the 'battle'. There was porn on both formats. VHS is just simpler, cheaper, and (at least at first) had a longer recording time.
Oh Jesus Christ, I am sick of people saying this. Trust me, porn had NOTHING to do with which videotape format won out. You're only saying this because you've read it here before a thousand times.

I'm simultaneously very curious and very, very scared.
It's not true, it's just used to rile people up. The coins he's talking about say it along the rim.
Using an iphone while driving isn't dangerous. I'm using mine in the car right now to reply to this post, and I

I do exactly the same thing. It can't be all that uncommon.
100% agreed. I think it's the slowest browser out there now, too.
I never thought of it, but what you are saying makes perfect sense. I'm looking forward to watching the series again this way.
Safari does indeed load the entire page up front.

I read this twice, and still have no idea what the hell you're yammering about.
Can you at least wait until I'm done?
it's a much more MOOT point

And flying will be less fun :)
