As non-geeks got connected, sex became the least common denominator. Within that (I would guess) the principle still applies, as people approach that from different points of view as well.
When there were only geeks on the interent, there wasn't any sex to be shared.
I believe your third complaint about FF is a bug that shows itself only in Windows 98 (or maybe Win9x)
The correct default firefox icon is there in Linux, Windows 2000, and Windows XP (and probably other operating systems, but these are the only ones I use on a daily basis)
As far as switching from Moz to FF.. From my perspective, I don't see any reason to. Being a webmaster, I just want to see people move to any browser that's more standards compliant than IE.
If Microsoft fixed their rendering engine so that it was on par with gecko's level of complaince, I wouldn't care so much about IE's dominance.
If the bit... slaves wanted it badly enough, I'm sure they could have exchanged pictures of their boobies in return for the opportunity to trade.

Buy an Intel Prescott based system if you live in the Artic Circle...
You're not kidding. My ex-roomate's bedroom was always cold in the winter; he had a space heater going all the time. When he moved out, we turned his bedroom into an office, and I put my 3 ghz prescott based system in there. Winter came and went and that room never got cold with the computer on.
On the other hand, I found myself using my laptop quite a bit more over the summer.
It seems like opinions vary quite a bit on whether HLDM was any good.
I still think it's the most fun Death Match game available. I never had much fun with any of the more structured multiplayer mods, but I'm not a "mom's basement dwelling game nerd" either. I enjoy killing my roomates for a couple hours every now and then, but that's about the extent of it.
I would be perfectly happy with a direct HLDM port to the Source engine with the new weapons. (Deathmatch with the manipulator would be fun)
I just saw a 256mb Sandisk Cruzer Mini in Staples for $45, or $35 if you're not too lazy to send in the mail-in rebate.. Pretty good price considering they're a few dollars more at Newegg.
Iomega also has a very small drive available, although I forget what it's called and haven't heard anything about their quality.
I keep mine on my key chain. With my car keys... and just to make things clear, my keys go in my pocket, not around my neck on a ginormous ADIDAS neck thing.
Ginormous ADIDAS neck things were/are an in-crowd accessory. It's even better when the wad of keys on the end is big enough to make any custodian jealous. Only thing I can think of more cool than that would be a big honkin chrome plated alarm clock on the end of a Ginormous ADIDAS neck thing.
I'm waiting for 4.5.1 to go stable, and then I'll be using it to revamp our university website.
Mambo handled the shalshdotting pretty well, I think. the Mamboserver.com front page did go down for a few minutes, but it bounced right back shortly after.
Even though those eBay wireless cameras are small, and operate for a little while on a 9v battery, you can't get the range out of them to transmit video to the ground. Once you put the transmitter, the camera, the receiver, the battery, and a recording device on the kite, it's not quite so light anymore.

Yeah, because I know how often people go to the mall to meet people.. as opposed to shopping.
The only people who socialize at the mall are 8-12 graders.
It's easier to ask in chat if anyone is intereated in a specific topic, and then make arragements to meet face to face with a few people, rather to walk up to random people at the park and ask about their thoughts on the latest Gnome release.
I guess it all depends on where you live. I live in a rural town of about 10,000. Most people say "hello" or "good morning" to you as you pass them on the sidewalk. I can't say I've known all of my neighbors well, but I have at least spoken with them enough to know a bit about who they are.
Visiting larger cities like Boston or New York makes me feel weird. Nobody looks you in the eye, and everyone seems constantly pissed off, almost like everyone is scared of everyone else... yet this all seems perfectly normal to them.
Personally, all of my friends have been people I've associated with daily. When I was in school, my friends were classmates. Now most of my friends are co-workers, and the few people I knew from school who I still keep in touch with.
Chances are good that there are people in your neighborhood that share your interestes or are at least compatable at the personality level who you wouldn't normally interact with on a daily basis.
Doom 3 environments looked good, but I wasn't really impressed with the characters.. Many suffered from a commic book look: tiny head big body syndrome.. And facial expressions were poor and cartoony.
Apparnetly carbon dating isn't as widely accepted as I had previously thought.
So.. my question now is.. did Noah put a shitload of dinosaurs on his boat, or were they already extinct?
I can't believe nobody mentioned dinosaurs in the bible.
Okay, so maybe they accept dinosaurs.. but they also think that the world has only been in existance for roughly 6000 years.
This math doesn't seem to add up here.
Instead, I'll just go with the fundamentalist Christian view that dinosaurs never existed in the first place.
I mean.. anything that science proves/disproves.. just chalk it up to God trying to test our faith.
What could be easier?

Why are we in Iraq?
1. Religion - say it with me "no more fundamentalist christians in the whitehouse"
2. Oil

As long I can make it sound like a coffee can full of farting bumblebees, I don't care what it looks like.
The rock solid nature of their instant messaging program gives me total confidence that this will be the greatest music sharing software of all time.

It's also nice for quality assurance purposes. A nice broad range of testing environments to bring about 1.0 Final that much sooner.
Believe it or not, some people socialize outside of video games, and don't use games for social interaction at all.
Some people just like to blow shit up, but we also take time to eat, bathe, and look at porn.
