If you read closely, you'll see that the summary is kind of misleading. What canonical is actually doing is using SI prefixes for base-10 units, and IEC prefixes for base-2 units.
In other words, they will use 1kB for 1000 bytes and 1KiB for 1024 bytes. This is a good thing, it just means the UI should be consistent and you don't need to second-guess.
why bother regulating them? all Canadians use the internet for is to search for hockey scores, maple syrup, beavers, learning how to become a mountie, and learning how to best serve as America's hat.
There are some other sites which have had <video> support for a while now, such as omploader. It would be nice if some big sites like youtube get rid of flash too, but I'm not holding my breath.
Maybe instead of continuing to focus on the dinosaur that is the automobile, more effort should be put into building very a efficient mass transit infrastructure. Just a thought.
Well, since everyone here thinks I'm full of crap, I decided to take a picture of my old insurance policy. Here's the first, and second picture. Note that the highlighted value is the annual cost (so the monthly payment was $489.67).
And for the record, I have a nearly perfect driving record (other than a couple speeding tickets when I was 16).
Technically, you only have a mix of the rights of a motorist and a pedestrian. Examples:
Sure, I'll bite.
Bicyclists are required to stay as close to the curb as possible.
Maybe this is the case where you live, but where I live (and in most other places) cyclists are viewed the same way as any other automobile on the road in the eyes of the law.
Pedestrians get priority over bicyclists on the sidewalk. Riding and crossing intersections too fast is an "unsafe operation" of a bicycle and possibly make you liable in a collision with a vehicle.
Actually, cycling on the sidewalk is illegal (where I live, and in most places as well). However, it's very easy to dismount a bicycle.
Bloody hell, where do you live that insurance is $450 per MONTH?
Or perhaps you owned some crazy car, considering $650/mo payments...
I used to pay about $100/mo for two cars...
As I mentioned in another comment, those dollars are CAD, and the cost of ownership for automobiles is a lot more here in Canada. Everything is more expensive, plus there is a 20% additional cost from the currency exchange. Even when the CAD was worth more than the USD, everything up here cost 10-40% more. Especially automobiles.
I'm guessing you don't live in the US. Either that, or you used to own a Ferrari.
I live in Canada, and it was nothing fancy. I'm young which makes insurance expensive, that and I live in one of the most excessively urban sprawled cities in the world (Calgary), where a 20km trip (one way) is considered short.
I've gone car free in the last year or so, and it's saved me a pile of money. Around $7k/year for fuel, plus insurance and car payments add up to more than $20k/year. I use my bicycle most of the time, but when I need to go longer distances I can combine biking and public transit (though I almost never actually do this). I love the freedom of being on a bicycle, as you have all the rights and privileges of both motorists and pedestrians. Travelling through heavy traffic is much faster by bicycle. And then there are the positive health effects.
Where do you live that you can bike to work without nearly getting run over on a constant basis?
People love to use this excuse. I bet if someone looked up the statistics, you'd find you're more likely to get hit by a car when you're in one rather than on a bicycle.
I second that. And also check out Rippetoe's program. It requires a bit of equipment (barbell + weights), but it's probably the best full body exercise you can do. I cycle to work every day and it's fun, relaxing, and makes you better than everyone else.
This is not the first time someone has done this. I work in the oil & gas industry, and there are a number of different products for cleaning up oil. At work we use pig mats, which won't absorb water (if you buy that type). They work as well as anyone could hope for.

a few years ago you didn't need to: 1kb was 1024 byte. it was defined like that. why don't we define 2 as 1 and 1 as 2 next ?
Not really.

Wow, you deserve a comedy award for that one.

There's your problem; you're a single male 20 year old with 5 years of experience (by default) and no driver training.
Actually I did have driver training when I was 15, just before I turned 16 and got my license. The problem is that it expires after 2 or 3 years.
means you're using a little less than $100 of fuel per week.
Maybe I could have worded that better by saying a tank lasts less than a week.
Given that there are ~52 weeks in a year, how can less than $100 a week in fuel add up to $7k/year?
a little less than 1 tank of fuel per week
I've been doing it for more than 2 years now, every day. Quite alive and well, thanks. The myth about cycling in the city being dangerous is just plain crap. See what Ken Kifer has to say about cycling safety and statistics.
Take a look at my other comment.

2) In the US, if you are on a bike, you do not have the rights of a pedestrian. You are bound by motor vehicle laws.
It takes approx. 2 seconds to go from being a cyclist to a pedestrian. It's really easy, I swear.

I can't image how that $20k figure is anywhere close to normal
Perhaps not normal, but here's the math:
Add everything up, and it comes to $20200/year.
Perhaps most people just don't realize how much they're wasting on automobiles?
PS: A transit pass (where I live) is $84/month, costing about $1008/year.

Actually, in this case they can't. I personally HATE the new "awesomebar", it really sucks. Luckily, there is a way out.
I'm really hoping Mozilla does not take Firefox in the direction of "wow new features!" that actually reduce functionality.
There is a patch available now. See the Gentoo bugzilla for more: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=209460 Also, you can try this if you don't want to recompile (it will disable vmsplice): http://omploader.org/vY2w5
I'm not sure why it hasn't been mentioned already, but an astute admin would be running and checking the output of chkrootkit in a cron job.
