Yes, and it's also easier to go to Google and type in 'putty' (5 characters) then 'www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html' (57 characters).
putty is an application that is burried deep within a website, so it's logical to google it like you'd do with other apps. googling for youtube, facebook login, or stupid shit like that isn't logical. the "easy" argument doesn't stand either, because what's easy is to type "youtube" in the address bar then press CTRL+ENTER. but considering this I can't say I'm that surprised.
Agreed. It's a lot easier for me to hit ctrl+t, tab, enter, and type a site name than it is for me to mouse up to the address bar, select it all, delete it, and retype the address before hitting enter.
say hello to ALT+D. works by default in Firefox/IE and possibly other browsers. Opera has some other shortcut for going to the address bar IIRC, which I promptly remapped to ALT+D.
Hell, I can't even tell you what Solace was about.
I was quite hooked for the first part. I thought the baddies were building some sort of secret installation over in the desert to shoot down the moon. and make it fall on the queen's head. or something cool like that. but then it turns out to be about bottled water and something else I forget? gee, thanks!
Yes, yes, I know that people should be performing backups (how many grandmothers do you know who do?). How livid, or depressed would you be to loose a few years worth of photographs because somebody who was too annoyed with getting spam decided that you didn't deserve to have your data anymore?
without backups they would have lost them anyway when the hard drive died
Do something totally harmless like changing their default gateway to 0.0.0.0, then setting the background image on their desktop to a message with instructions on how to back up their personal information and take their computer in to be repaired.
a goatse desktop background would be more effective

Of course, if we had Forms 2.0 and the ability to add a regex to form inputs, this
tedious task could be done by the browser saving a whole bunch of script.
yeah, that's a great idea. what's stopping me from feeding malformed data to your silly app using CURL or a plain socket on 80? people that try to break your app won't be following any "2.0" rules. and many "developers" already fall for this by relying only on JS validation.
I like JS when it's actually useful (hint: Google shit), but I don't like it people have forms with no submit button, and just a normal button with an onclick event. hitting enter anywhere in the form won't submit just as no JS support won't submit. great job there!
I don't mind looking at Google ads. they are non intrusive and mostly relevant. I actually found pretty sweet shit from clicking on them. the rest of the centipedes-in-my-vagina and seizure inducing you-have-won-click-here stuff is just spam.
Killing as many people as you can in GTA is quite acceptable however we cannot pick up a Hooker and bang her in a car, killing is ok but not the other thing, Think of the children!:-)
you can pick up hookers in San Andreas and engage in something that makes the car bounce. then they leave and you have less money. sounds like both things are OK, just not depicted in the same way.
On Windows, you can always make up a screenshot of any DLL file by opening it in Dependency Walker, and listing the functions exported by the DLL. I'm sure there has to be something similar for Linux.

The question is: I ditched Netscape for IE, and IE for Mozilla, and Mozilla for Firefox; but what will I ditch Firefox for ?
Opera. it's fast, never crashes, easy on the memory and the mail client is awesome. you might have a problem with it for not being open source, but I don't. as long as it runs on my desktop and phone, I'm happy.
I ran Firefox since it was a window with 3 buttons on it (Phoenix) and Mozilla proper before that and I converted lots of people to it. the resource usage and overall sluggishness finally put me off and I switched about 1.5 years ago. yes, I know things got better with version 3, but it still isn't as snappy as Opera, and I don't think it will ever be.
nowadays I only use Firefox at work. sure, I miss some of the extension goodness but the fact that I can keep my browser open for weeks and not have it crash/lag is more helpful to me.

1) It protects you from typos. If you miss a character, it's immediately obvious before you've helped out a typo squatter.
I bet that why all germans type "web.de" in Google search.

... a regular shaking. The motion is something most slashdotters are good at anyways.
yes, from constantly making martinis to all the hot mamas, right? shaken, not stirred ladies!
Or am I missing some geeky thing that Gibson did?
problem is you're some old guy from the internet that back in his day walked uphill both ways, while this is Gibson.
cowboys and whores analogies in the same thread. could it get any better than this?
Trust me, it beats the kludgy master/slave BS of bind.
you introduced make, svn and scp into the mix. how the fuck does that kludge beat a simple bind reload?
Speaking of ReiserFS...what is the deal with it?
you could say it's a killer file system.
It's a dangerous thing, and that's fairly obvious. A computer isn't. I suppose an argument could be made that computers are dangerous.
are you mad? look at HAL, Colossus or Skynet. pretty dangerous computers there.
That does not mean that the movies are not fun to watch, Will Smith can be amazingly funny.
you know who's funny? Steve Buscemi is funny. Will Smith will always be the fresh prince of Bel Air, thus laughable. not funny.

Fans of Tolkein on the whole don't have a problem with Jackson's *omissions*. It's his *additions* that were the issue.
you mean to say that Wipe Castle and centaurs weren't in the original book? I'm shocked!
wow, sorry to hear that, I thought it was well done, but I havent read LOTR.
hahahahaahahah

I almost always keep my windows maximized. Why waste all that screen real estate?
you're already wasting screen realestate by keeping your windows maximized, and time by shuffling them.
you're quite the busybody there, aren't ya? yet you complain about other busybodies for knocking spammers offline. make up your mind Optimus Second.
