Whoa, and that doesn't even count many of the non-english sites Google indexes... maybe the only thing they did was update the number on the bottom of the webpage...
I always considered stealing to be linked to depriving someone of something's use. In the case of media it would be denying profits to the **AA. If I know that I'm never going to buy something in the first place then how is it stealing if I watch it without buying? Isn't that the same as watching a movie at home with friends who don't own the movie? The only media I buy is after I know a movie/band/anime is awesome and I'm not wasting my money. In fact, the **AA has gotten a lot more money out of me by my occasional piracy. I never listened to music (radio, cds, anything) before I learned I could download it off the internet for free from ftp servers. Of course, back then it took me a week to get one song with my connection, so I'd buy a cd to get the rest of the albulm in better quality, but the concept is the same. I can't understand why those at the **AA could even begin to think that stopping people from watching/listening to their media would help them. I'm beginning to think that they would prohibit you from singing a song to yourself in your head if they could.
It's called an example, and besides, the states don't even have to do a popular vote. They could do their own electorial system with their counties (making campaigning in those states virtually pointless) or even just let their senators and representatives vote (as they used to do). What if one canidate were to promise to clear-cut all lumber in America in order to provide free houses (just an example). He could quite possibly win the popular vote because of people wanting the free houses, but loose the electorial vote because he'd loose the states that would be loosing their forests. The electorial system makes votes matter. If we didn't have it then why would anybody campaign in Ohio, with a mere 4% of the population? So without the electorial vote you could afford to screw over the country so long as you keep the populated area happy.
That's what extensions are for. I don't even have that many and I can do everything you mentioned. Tabbrowser Extensions might be the only one you need. I personally prefer the ability to choose a plugin to do those things then to have it built into the browser.
Well, since pure water doesn't conduct electricity, couldn't you just circulate distilled water throughout the case? You'd have to run water through it first to remove dust and things, and I wouldn't expect a cd-rom or harddrive to work right underwater, but couldn't you do this for the motherboard?
Has anyone else noticed the impossibly fast evolution of multitasking ability?
People over 70 have trouble doing one thing at one time
People over 55 seem to have trouble walking and cheqing gum simultaniously
People over 30 think that they can drive and talk on a cell phone at the same time
College and high school students can take note on a laptop while carrying on 6 simultanious AIM conversations while paying enough attention to the teacher to know if they are growing supicious
The way I see it, e-mail is like a phone call. Most of my day-to-day conversations aren't particularly confidential and I don't really care about the lack of security. That said, I also wouldn't want someone outside tapping my phone line, and thankfully there are laws against that. On the same note, I would prefer if there were similar laws to prevent random people from reading my e-mail. Encryption isn't really an option because most of the people I communicate with have probably never even heard of encryption and certainly wouldn't know how to decrypt a message. This includes semi-formal e-mails I send to my school. The lack of security simply does not imply that I consent to a third party reading my e-mail (just as I wouldn't consent to a third party tapping my phone even though I don't use encryption there either).
I was just thinking, isn't the formula actually something like e-mc^2*y , for kinetic energy? So what if instead of making a bomb, one could use magnetic acceleration to launch it from a satellite at close to the speed of light at the target? The air probably wouldn't collide with too many of the particles, but the ground would... Also, deploying it from a satellite would be better because it is harder to attack and if an accident occurs then it is in space, so you could safely store a lot more.

Yeah, go by a popular vote, I could just picture it:
City tax rate: 20%
Rural tax rate: 70%
or something equally likely to cause revolts.
