Of course, we in the USA could as a country hold a constitutional convention for purposes of abolishing the current government and setting up a new one, as a constitutional right.
I wonder how the EU is set up with regards to this?
Well, what's "right" for the people is more inportant than what "they" might think, right?:P Thats pretty much where the whole world government thing is about: Mega-tiering control so that it is kept as far away from regular folks as possible.
Now that I think about it, in order to be using a form you had to be signing up for "Porn (with plenty of spam) in the Email", which is dumb, or subscribing to a site which pops up malware for you to install, which is dumb.

Heck, many sites STILL support the ancient Netscape 4.x series, even though it accounts for <0.3% of the browser share nowadays. Even when IE6 dips below 5% (which unfortunately is probably at least 6-10 years off) , support for it will still be extensive.
I doubt this will happen, at least for a long long time.
Brand name carries a browser far beyond its heyday. Look at websites today. The Netscape browser is still supported specifically, but not Mozilla or or Firefox, even though the Mozillas have 10x the marketshare.

BTW the websites I create now work fine in every browser imaginable, even with Netscape 2.1 or IE 3. Block positioning links and giving them backgrounds with CSS, and other tricks make it possible. IE6 will probably become the tinderbox NS4 is now for the l33t standards junkies of tomorrow.
They have Inmarsat for data communications, but it is very expensive and only runs at 56Kbps. They want to know if I can hook them up with free Wi-Fi for their stay in Portland as well as outfitting the vessel for Wi-Fi so they can use the technology as the ship moves around the globe. How could I say no?
RTFA. It's not just for two days, it's for whenever they're in an area with WiFi available.
Well the setup still doesn't take care of other places they're going as far as a access provider.
I guess life on a gigantic boat with only56k satellite internet access on a regular basis sucks:D Heh I wish I had a boat period.
And storming a ship is worse than pouring tonnes of lead/mercury crap and deadly stuff down rivers and the air?
Lets assume for a moment that lead and mercury comes from ships (it doesn't). It is a proportional question to ask "And storming your house is worse than you pouring picoliters of lead/mercury crap and deadly stuff down your well and your living room air?"
Well in any case, no. The best thing to do is inform authorities about any illegal polluting. Or if you are an asshat like me, take pictures and blackmail them for a couple thousand grand;)
Is this a case where it is OK for them to have it, just wrong when the 'lesser' people have it.
You've hit on an interesting point. Generally speaking, those shouting the praises of clean environment and conservation are doing so standing on top of their gigantic SUV (or in this case, their gigantic boat armed with wifi technology).
This is why I pretty much ignore Greenpeace, and their hypocritical elitist claptrap.
Minister of Propaganda? Thats an interesting title.
The Greenpeace ship the Arctic Sunrise will be visiting Portland, Oregon on the 4th and 5th of July as part of our national campaign for an immediate moratorium on commercial logging and road construction on America's public lands.
Seems like setting up internet service just for two days seems silly. And given the coverage map they have a small window of mobility if they want it.

Actually, the best thing to do is use
emerge -uD --pretend world
to see what it wants to update, and then update/downgrade the packages that you feel are worthy of attention. Its two or more steps instead of one, but it can sometimes take a lot less time overall if you have alot of cruft packages on your system.
For example, maybe you could care less about the latest bleeding-edge version of links or that windowing manager that you never use, but want the latest security patches and or updates for kernel/apache/mozilla/etc. So then do something like
2. If you have Firefox set as default, running a url that is in Internet Explorer's history will launch Internet Explorer. Else, it launches in Firefox.
Best thing to do is clear IE's history after installing Firefox.

Gmail probably has some activex extras. Thats why setting your browser to spoof IE constantly does more harm than good.

IE5 is increasing? Wha? From the link in my sig:
;)
IE5 usage:
April 2004: 10.1%
May 2004: 9.2%
June 2004: 8.3%
July 2004: 8.1%
Were you reading the chart backwards?
Hah I figured it out - Slashdot strips out link garbage automatically. Go Slashdot! :D

The latest version is pretty good. If you click on a malformed link like http://www@.cnet.com it warns you. I thought that was pretty cool.

In what way is promoting increased use of PNGs unrealistic?
Well you have to promote them fully. Alpha transparency works fine in IE 5.5+, you just have to know the hack. See this site for a working example.
The method is explained here

Joe/Jane Six-Pack wouldn't have changed the default display settings, so wouldn't have noticed a difference.

Point taken, I stand corrected ;)
Still, the negative connotation is there. I'd rather be called a "flirt" than a "off-duty sexual predator."
