I once found, I kid you not, some sort of shrimp-looking thing in my OJ. I was 8 or so. To this day, I refuse to drink Albertson's OJ. Other brands don't bother me, however.
Viewing web pages correctly should be a free (as in beer) right. Just because Opera has some profit-making scheme up their sleeves that's causing them to give away their product doesn't mean they won't be charging for it tomorrow, or next week, or next year, or whenever their market share goes up and they feel like they can make some real money.
You had damned well be running Linux or BSD right now (not using KDE, which uses licensed commercial software), using Firefox to surf, Thunderbird to check your mail, Jabber (in any open-source client) to IM, Wikipedia for information, D-Moz to search the web, a non-commercial mail provider, and listening only to public domain music, or else you will be the world's biggest hypocrite.
Opera, in my experience, has been quite a bit faster than Firefox. I'm going to give it another whirl when I get home today, compare the two, and see if I want to switch or not. But you use whatever works best for you. The only potential issue I may have with Opera is that, last I heard, Presto doesn't render things quite as W3C-properly as Gecko-based browsers do. Still better than Trident, though. Also, I like to support OSS, but hey, if Opera is better, I'll use it.
But both browsers are good, quality browsers. In my opinion, you can't go wrong either way.
"Ninety-five percent of people who make the actual purchase of computer games and 84% of people who make the actual purchase of video games are 18 years of age or older. The average age of the game buyer is 37 years old.... Who plays video games? 35% under 18 years, 43% 18-49 years, 19% 50+ years."
I'm 17. I drive a '91 Nissan Stanza which was cost-effective to buy ($2200 cash for a car in very good shape with 48k miles), and it's entirely stock except for a CD player. You say "Charger" and I immediately think General Lee. The one car I would own if I could afford a decent one would be a 1968 GTO. I am a car guy, albeit a poor one. I also live on Earth.
No, the submitter had no idea either. It's the author of the piece's fault, as they absolutely failed to mention what units they were using. If we were to take them literally, the temperature would be equal to 5pi/18 radians, and that doesn't make sense. We can only assume that the author of the piece meant 50 degrees Fahrenheit, as that is what seems most feasible.
You've been reading War of the Worlds too much. Not that this is a bad thing, mind you, but the science is a bit outdated now.
Viruses are certainly no problem. If they evolved, they would not evolve for human DNA until humans got there. Bacteria are a bit tougher to figure out, but it's unlikely that they would kill us something bad either, as we're not there for them to evolve to reproduce well on us. If they did, it would be coincidence. I think your worry is probably unfounded, and if it's not I would be surprised. I will grant you that it's possible, but I don't think the "superbug" scenario is likely.
I'm still siding with Microsoft here, loath as I am to do so. It's fairly ridiculous that anyone would confuse Windows Vista with the company Vista. Is AltaVista going to sue as well? Good grief.
I mentioned The Sims in my letter to the ESRB. Their form letter which they sent back was the same ol' same ol'..."we're looking out for the consumer", etc...but I find it an interesting coincidence.
At any rate, I expect that this one is a tad too out there for the ESRB to get involved. Then again, that's what I said about Hot Coffee...

Whoops, I meant the subsection right above it.
Except when directed to proceed by a police officer or traffic control signal, every driver of a vehicle approaching a stop intersection indicated by a stop sign shall stop at a clearly marked stop line, but if none, before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection or, if none, then at the point nearest the intersecting roadway where the driver has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway before entering the intersection. After having stopped, the driver shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle which has entered the intersection from another highway or which is approaching so closely on said highway as to constitute an immediate hazard during the time when the driver is moving across or within the intersection.
Sadly, I believe you are correct (at least in my state, Florida). The relevant statute:
(316.123)(2)(b) At a four-way stop intersection, the driver of the first vehicle to stop at the intersection shall be the first to proceed. If two or more vehicles reach the four-way stop intersection at the same time, the driver of the vehicle on the left shall yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on the right.
Nothing about exemptions if the cause of the accident is some fool running around without headlights.
You can choose to contest it as a misdemeanor, and get all the requisite priveleges that go along with it
Rights. Not privileges, rights. It is my right as a citizen of a free country to be considered innocent until proven guilty, to be given a fair and speedy trial, and to not speak until I can talk to my attorney. I am indeed privileged to have these basic human rights (which, sadly, do not exist in some third world lands), but that does not change the fact that they are rights and not privileges. Some may think that I'm being too anal regarding the two words, but I disagree. I think that the moment we begin to think our basic rights "privileges," people's "privileges" will be taken away for this or that. That is not a road I wish to go down.
I wouldn't be surprised if 10-15% of that IE usage is from work/school computers. I know that my school only has IE installed on the various workstations, though a couple years ago someone smuggled Firebird 0.7 onto one. Amazingly, though, some tech-savvy people still prefer IE over anything else.

Don't worry, I got it immediately. Would have modded it funny if I had mod points, as well.

Your hand suddenly starts vibrating at a few thousand rpm. Don't even have to say a word.
Sure anybody could give a backrub, but how many people could give a backrub at several thousand rpm.
If you had a vibrating hand, somehow I think a backrub would be one of the last things on her mind...

I have been doing that for a while. Just use transparent PNGs. It won't work come IE7, though... http://www.sys-rq.net/pngtransparency.shtml
Paper is three-dimensional, though. If nothing exists along that one dimension, how exactly is it going to cut along that dimension?
Turnabout == fair play.
