There are a number of factors that can cause it to be slow to start.
- Do you have check for updates clicked on?
- Do you have extension check for updates on?
- What internet connection do you have?
- How many extensions do you have installed?
- Of those extensions how many require to pull information from the network?
That is just off the top of my head. There are probably other ways to enhance it, maybe in the book they are touting?

Not that far off. 19.2% and if I recall w3schools only recently started marking the difference between FF and Mozilla (which would bring it up to 23% if it was watching the two as one).
There is also a build kit for use in ANT based off that site. Basically allows you to create your plugin without having to go rummaging through all the files.
Or keep 10 clones on hand for the "Throw the cat in the blender" scene. Then when animal rights people come over to check you can show them the real cat and they will never know the difference.
I always fought greifers in game the way you should. Don't give them a response.

When playing Neocron I had the misfortune to get ganked by a couple of muppets. Now in NC when you die high level damage gives you XP (or used to). So rather then whack rats for the next hour or so I respawned (genrep) back to them and let them kill me again, and again, and again.
After about 5 minutes they stopped when they realised they were wasting ammo on me for no loot. I got called various names and told to "fight fair" (they were 30 levels above me). At that point they got annoyed and tried to leave the area only to be gunned down by the cops as they were now a criminal for killing me so often. I picked up their nice custom built gattling cannon (4 slots) from their corpse. This was back when you dropped an item instead of a belt.
Similar incidents in UO. Myself and others got annoyed by a PK'er who liked to come in and kill newbies. So my friends dressed up as shepard NPC's and did the NPC shuffle, while I acted all newbish. Once he started to attack me they ganked him and looted him.
it all goes into the spam folder. I have a quick review of that folder before nuking. I don't open any of it.
Once something is flagged as spam it appears to flag it for everyone (least it looks like what it is doing). As spam dealing goes, Gmail has to be one of the best.
It reminds me of the Southpark episode "Something walmart this way comes".
All it is doing is making Valve a distrubution company. It is not freeing them from distrubution, instead it is putting it into their hands. If other developers want to publish the same way do you honestly think Valve will let them do it for free?
Instead of EA coming obsolete all they have to do is jump on the bandwagon and make their own version of steam.
After all how are other developers supposed to get their stuff published? Write their own version of Steam?
It is still mindboggling how people keep touting steam as the next big thing, or groundbreaking.
How about you rigged that into a face recognition program.
Now if you have *subversives* (terrorists, peace activists, knitting circle, etc) in your database and you want to easily see what they mail they send so you can open it.
Most printers these days if you try to print currency they have indentifiers put into the printouts that match the printer to the paper.
My guess is when it takes your photo it is (or maybe will at some point) track the serial code to the purcahse. Put the code onto the item. So you know a face of who sent/bought whatever.
As someone pointed out its a bit like an ATM machine. Most ATMs also have hidden cameras in them to take face shots. Not sure why people are getting all worked up just yet (they are a few years too late).
"You don't hear about this kinda stuff happening in the US."

Full of shit? Hardly. UK for example, Stories about the royal family (eg. Charles gay incident) and Blair (eg. childs suicide bid) are routinely censored despite the tabloid nature of the press there.
Ireland censors stories too. For example electronic voting was cancelled in Ireland because it couldn't be proven to be reliable. What wasn't reported about (but mentioned in a dail hearing) was that the company that won the contract to supply the machines was an ex member of the current party in government who won the contract which was millions over expected cost, not the cheapest quote and the company only existed a few months after it was announced they were going to use the machines.
". The USA has the free-est press in the world, full stop."
Total BS, unless you mean free to lie. Just check out Media Matters to see how screwed up the US press is.
Any press reporter asking the president a question he doesn't like and they won't be invited back or allowed ask a question again.
In some cases it even gets petty like Bush being interviewed by RTE who went on to tell RTE they would never be allowed interview Bush or anyone again because he was asked a question he couldn't answer.
"I repeat: PRISON."
I REPEAT *DIFFERENT WAYS*.
Just because you don't get thrown into prison doesn't mean you can't be screwed over in the US for reporting something that the administration or media don't want you to. The same applies for other countries as well.
"literally millions of alternatives out there and at the end of the day you're welcome to start your own blog and report what you will."
Having alternatives doesn't mean that your press is free. Generally the alternatives you speak about are outside of the country in question. As for blogs, they are hardly media outlets. Certainly a place to start researching a story for yourself but I wouldn't put them that far above say Fox as reliable sources of information.
Having lived in Ireland, England, Greece and America as well as been to numerous countries on holiday and working I can say he isn't wrong.
Different countries just do it a different way.
Question the US president the wrong way and your guaranteed you will never be able to again. Or take prehaps Ireland, free press here? Try finding the picture of Bush in the wifebeater.
I've been to China. It is pretty restrictive but the mindset is similar to America. They don't see the restrictions as it is hard to observe it when you are living in the situation.
Oh and Iraq abuse was reported long before the US broke it (The abuse happenend a good few months before it broke in the US). Generally US population think everything is "tinfoil hat" material unless they hear it from a US news source.
It is quite popular where I live and hard to get in the shops (sells very well). Own two myself.
Cheap and sim free as well as two games and the ability to download stuff via bluetooth makes it well worth the buy. It also has all of the design flaws of the original Ngage removed.
If it is brand new then it is most likely the NGage-QD and that is the coolest combination of cellphone, e-mail device and video game around.
I think you are referring to the original NGage which is a compelete joke. They are both differently designed machines.

What they could do is have base core box.
Then if you need to add items you buy an empty box that slots onto that one, or communicates via wireless connection.
That way you can build up your tower or leave it as a small box, or move them around like ornaments.

Also why is it that people go on about how 100% of the profits go to Valve because publishers are evil and are the cause of high game prices.
Yet Valve are quite happy to leave the prices the way they are.
It reminds me of the Southpark episode "Something walmart this way comes".
