I'd say it is. A site in one tab or window should only be able to control things in that tab or window. Allowing one window to display a dialog in a different window is a flaw to my eyes.
I don't know about comfortable. There's a guy who lives two houses away from me who stuck a knife in someone. Am I comfortable about it? No. Do I think he should be able to live normally having served his sentence? Absolutely.
Someone who had raped 5 small girls would probably never be released. If they were, it would have to be what, 40 years ago? At that point I think they deserve another chance.
Nope, they've realised and got laws passed against it. Look up parallel importing.
However, I'm convinced it should be legal. If companies can outsource their labour, we should be able to buy products from over there. Then we would be able to work for equal wages, equalising costs of living everywhere, which is as it should be.
It's supposed to serve the people, so a). Laws on abortion and homosexuality are still there because no politician dares risk losing votes by suggesting they are changed. However, it's not about ethics. What is legal is pretty much orthogonal to what's ethical.
I'll make a real proposal. Copyright terms are reduced to 14 years, like they were originally, and fixed there. The industry survived with a 14 year term back in the 19th century, it can survive it now.
The US constitution. Like it or not,/. is US-centric.
The convention only gives a minimum limit. You can read Dickens etc. only because unlike Disney the Dickens estate doesn't keep brib^H^H^H^Hlobbying politicians to extend their copyright whenever it's about to run out.
For the second point, if you look at the US constitution, Congress is *only* allowed to impose copyright "to promote the progress of science and the useful arts". That's all. States can impose their own copyrights, perhaps, but federal copyrights as they currently are are unconstitutional.
No, however, if you have something I have actually sold you, I don't mind you sharing it with your friends or even duplicating it for them. Copyright isn't what means you don't have my SSN
It wasn't until the last that I was convinced you're trolling. Anyway:
The entire English language is made up of nothing more than common usage. There's no committee to decide it. If it's common and common enough to be part of the dictionary, it's part of the language, definitely.
The crimes you get charged with aren't the only thing the offense is called. If you were to physically steal something the offense might be called larcenry or something. Doesn't mean you weren't stealing.
I'm pretty sure you're backwards on pirates and privateers, privateers came after pirates had been around for a long time, and were quite often pirates who had been "hired" by a country.
You're definitely wrong on the skull and crossbones. It was an offer of quarter - surrender your ship and cargo and your lives will be spared. If it was rejected a blood-red flag would be raised.
Maybe they've changed it for 8, I'm still using Opera 7.x. At least in this version, there's close/restore buttons for the tab, like MS Office has when you have more than one document open.
I'm just saying that I find it easier to set up video playback under linux, because I only need to install one program and it can play everything. (Actually it gets some separate codecs, but my package manager can handle that, so I only need one install command)
No, they just need to have some sort of "margin". An upload can never be worth more than a song. But if they let you get one free song for every two you upload, or even 9 for every 10 you upload, it could work very well for them.
Move rather than copy then. If you bought and paid for an OS there's no reason you shouldn't be able to use it on any system you fancy, and any EULA saying you can't is probably invalid.
Steps I took to get perfect video playback on linux for everything I've seen, easier than on windows:
1. emerge -pv kaffeine
Hmmm...looks like I need to enable win32codecs
2. add them to/etc/make.conf. You can get a gui to do this if you find that easier
3. emerge kaffeine
4. Run kaffeine once (menu->multimedia->video player (kaffeine)) to let it set up its associations
A bit more complicated than on other systems, perhaps, but it makes up for it by only having to do it once rather than separately getting windows media player, realplayer and quicktime, and then trying to stop their registry daemons getting in an infinite loop taking each other's file associations.

Use links. It has a very nice thing where any javascript dialog box has an additional button labelled "kill script".
Just trying to get you to accept identity cards, national database of everyone, etc.
Nope. They tried to register it but it was found to be a generic term.

Here in the UK assault is physical, it's what you're charged with if you attack someone but don't do enough damage for ABH.

In a few days you'll have Americans saying it was the telecom company who broke the rats' cable

VLC won't play real streams (or mms streams, I can't remember which). And MPC can't play real or quicktime video without installing real or quicktime.
That'd damage your jacket
Lol. Users don't care it's linux, what difference does it make to them? You don't see big takeup of whatever embedded OS is running the iPod, do you?
No, the problem would be that OS/2 0wnz0rs j00r puny a$$ whichever feeble OS you switch to

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I think what they are trying to say is what they actually say, that 10% of sites do not work with Firefox.
If you run a public company, you're legally obliged to do whatever you can to maximise its profit, no matter what.
