why don't you get your boss to buy you a power drill and drill some holes in some of those drawers for ventilation. if you're really paranoid then you should go for one of them laptop coolers with a fan and put a fan in the drawer too.
what a lazy way of doing this. instead of making firefox work on small devices with small memory, they're just waiting for the mobile devices to have faster cpus and more memory.
i wasn't trolling. i was just making a point that you are getting something for them having your information.
"What information are they going to collect next? What are they doing with all the information that they are already collecting?"
i suggested other info they could collect (a bit wishy washy suggestions i have to admit) and what they do with all that information (free food and electricity was another extreme suggestion but that's the services they produce to you for 'free'). so in effect they aren't taking anything away from you, you're giving it to them in an exchange.
definition of supercomputer has changed plenty of times over the years but i don't think cost was ever part of the definition. it was more like "usually they cost this much". more of an observation than a definition.
idjits?? where is that derived from? it seems similar to eejit.
but i don't think peeps at nokia are eejits. they know there's a market out there but they just can't pin the mofo down.
at this rate you might as well hand "ching-chong charlie" everything you own. you give them little pieces of paper now and before you know it they'll own all your asses and pay you little pieces of paper that amount to nothing.
there's always a trade off for everything though. people want things smaller and cheaper, ok quality might not be as great but you get what you pay for.
it's not like it's costing extra? they recorded the song with fine detail then changed the settings to make things louder. the loudness kills the fine detail. how does it add to the cost? if anything making it louder takes extra time meaning it'd cost extra.
i'm sure if you put mozilla firefox on a visa credit card you'd be able to raise more money. with linux you could get all the high paid IT guys whereas with mozilla firefox you'd be able to get everyone that surfs the web including high rollers in other sectors but hey, what do i know.
you can't generalise taxation. taxation varies so much between countries and what the tax revenues are spent on varies a lot too.
the free health care system in the UK, NHS, is only so because of government policy (total neglect and failure to adapt) and that's why there are long waiting times, etc. however, when you say you can have private and public systems in place together, it doesn't always work. public health services take the brunt of the stuff that private health clearly will not touch because it is not profitable. thus making the system even more complicated than if it were just a public health system. anyways, it's the public health system that trains up all the doctors and nurses that work in the private sector anyways (especially in the uk).
if you go back to economics and externalities, health care is a merit good. people should consume more of it and without government intervention there would be under consumption of health care. public services are here to stay and people should invest their money into public health care as private health is just a waste of money for the whole economy.

all you have to do was delete iexplore.exe ;)
they're always splitting stuff up or spinning it off. freescale anyone?

ff is a standalone browser. a lot of people quite like the all-in-one package and they tend to use netscape 7 rather than 8 or 9.
it could be worse, if memoryalpha was gone too.
perhaps it's a name of someone's right hand. you never know lol.
there's probably a reason why there's no pic...
and definitely not a commodity computer which most pc are.

and that's where microsoft have their monopoly. -_-

your garbage!!! oh noes! then... your poop from your toilet!!! oh noes!! ah well who cares free food and electricity for stalking me.

i don't know about you but it must've felt nice to stand on some expensive equipment.
oh no :( you let the cat out of the bag

things like this is inevitable. grow big or be bought.

yea, what you said. the should use their brand for something good.

where there is a will there's a way.
to show how much he doesn't care... DUH! :P
we're only good runners because we can replenish ourselves with water (ie. carrying a damn water bottle).
