I'm not saying you don't have reasons for considering switching back, but your post is incoherent to the point that I haven't the slightest idea what they are.
Yeah, the MBA recovery drive is a cute little USB dongle. (It's pretty interesting, the whole thing is maybe twice the length as the USB connector, and is actually thinner --- it just has bare contacts, not the casing that surrounds most such connectors.)
For some reason this topic has built up an epic level of FUD.
Their system was designed to be used in response to DMCA notices. Dropbox would get a takedown notice, they'd flag the file to be removed, and an e-mail would be sent to the uploader of the file informing them of the DMCA notice.
In this case, a dropbox guy used the tool without realising that the last step was automated. There was never any DMCA notice generated, just a DMCA notice notice.
As someone living in KY I *already* have to pay sales tax on Amazon purchases -- they have several warehouses here.
If you're for the elimination of all sales tax, ok, that's a consistent POV. But I don't think there's any reason to treat internet sales any differently than in-store.
One thing that really needs to happen is for forums to accept OpenID. Given that there a small number of software packages seem to run the majority of forums out there, it seems like this sort of change could happen quickly... but to my knowledge, hasn't so far.
I completely agree. The only prefs I change in FF3 are those for zoom. If I zoom in, it's typically because I can't read the text... so I'd prefer it if only the text size changed.
I just wish it was smart enough to realize that, even if I have "Zoom Text Only" selected, I want full-zoom when viewing a single image file.
Can't say they should be surprised -- after all, they knowingly depend upon a product with fatal, vendor controlled DRM on it.
I'm sure there are plenty of people who didn't really understand the arrangement when they bought this music. They probably "foolishly" assumed it would work like buying music the old fashioned way...
However that one little clause deep in the license basically grants WotC the right to choose to seize the exclusive rights to anything you produced surrounding the D20 system. It grants them full and unrestricted access to all source materials, and it grants them the right to resell and distribute the goods produced from it. Further, it grants them the right to revoke the license from you, barring you from further use.
You seem to have confused the d20 license with the OGL. To use the d20 game mechanics, you only need to obey the OGL. The d20 license is only to use the d20 logo and TM.
What clause are you talking about? There's nothing in the OGL which allows WotC to seize material that you haven't released under the OGL, even if it's in the same book as OGL stuff.
I am no theoretical astrophysicist, but me thinks "Dark Matter" is the name of the current fad stop-gap physics widget which is necessary to balance out equations in their current hypotheses and models.
The dark matter model has actually made successful predictions. That makes it actual, real science, not just a "stop-gap" widget.
From a paper of The Dark Matter Scientific Assessment Group:
...evidence from galactic rotation curves, gravitational lensing, hot gas in galactic clusters, precision measurements of the cosmic microwave background and measurements of large scale structure in the Universe all support the existence of dark matter in the Universe.
I remember looking at the bug for this a while ago, and getting the impression that the devs didn't even understand exactly what the feature request was for.
I mean, they already had code to add error bars which were calculated from the data; I'd have expected just reading the values from the sheet wouldn't be that tough...
If you read the article, there are two ways of doing this: Safari uses an undocumented API call, and Firefox 2 uses a documented config option which (apparently) isn't as flexible.
Firefox 3 wasn't using the config option (oops) and so was pretty slow. The blog writer noticed that Safari wasn't using the option either, and did some poking around to find out why.
I'm not so sure that it can be considered secret, given that when you install an application, it states up front that you are giving it access to your profile information.

It's a fucking embarrassment to slashdot that this troll is modded "insightful."

Most amazingly, someone even dies by falling into a mystic portal and stays dead.

There's a Heinlein book with exactly that ending...
I believe that Debian was prevented from accepting a similar agreement because it in some way conflicted with their ideology.
I can tell you this: my phone sure as hell isn't even within 2 generations of the iphone. Not everyone goes for the top of the line...
I think the summary is just wrong. The arxiv article doesn't mention winos at all... perhaps the summary writer confused it with WIMP?

I'm typing this on an ASUS eeePC 901. It gets quite a bit better battery life than the comparable MSI Wind, mostly because it uses an SSD drive.
One thing that really needs to happen is for forums to accept OpenID. Given that there a small number of software packages seem to run the majority of forums out there, it seems like this sort of change could happen quickly... but to my knowledge, hasn't so far.
Asus still sell the initial 700 line, which is a 350$, 7" device... exactly what you're asking for.
So what's the problem?

You... don't know many English majors, do you? Certainly not average, incoming freshmen English majors.

Psionics is not overpowered.

Still completely superior to digg.
