Thats True. Now open new tabs until the tab bar is full. Now try and double click an empty space on the tab bar to create a new tab. Hard isn't it? That is crap UI design no matter what the firefox folks claim. The most sensible place for the new tab button is where the suite browser has it. It's the ying to the close tab buttons yang. I could point out that the button also doesn't theme right on many skins but I would just start to sound cranky.
Firefox has not achieved everything it must to replace the suite browser. The dumping of the suite browser should not occur until firefox has a plugin so that suite users can have their extended feature set and ungodly bloated menus. I agree that many of these features are not needed for the general population but the obsessive technologists want them along with experimental code and it will keep these people around where some of them may contribute. Also, although it has not advanced that much in a while the suite browsers code seems to be "smoother". I remember the 1.0 version of mozilla suite was twitchy and slow and I get the same feel of hesitating menus and such in firefox still sometimes.

To maintain the interest of technically minded contributors the Mozilla foundation will need to continue releasing a browser with features the average user doesn't care much about. The suite and the stand alone apps must become one. Or perhaps I should say the stand alone app codebase must evolve until it can clone the suites features on request. I propose a "Lean/Suite" switchable configuration for the Firefox browser. This would add or remove menu options and references to suite applications from the browser and load a library of additional code to support the suites features. The suite browser code would slowly disapear without as many grumbles I would think.
Firefox claims stripped down speed and efficiency. That may have been the goal but it seems to me most of the same functionality is still there, but just hidden without menu access. For example, the suite has menu access to plugin information but firefox makes you enter "about:plugins" as a URL.
Where I'm from that aint stripped down and cleaned up, it's hidden. And was the removal of the "new tab button" really worth the interface "clutter" savings? Many people who had used the suite for years didn't agree. Give us a switch to actually make firefox a replacement for the suite browser and we may just go along.
I don't want my file system to take YEARS to conceive and implement. I can't see that leading to anything but it being slow, buggy, and overcomplicated. Better yet why not unleash the win9x shell team to build the next file system and see how quickly MS can nosedive itself.
They didn't used to set phasers to "appease"
Holy Fucking Goddamn the moderation around here sucks balls of Kong. "Liberal" assholes who mod troll anything that offends them suck cocks in hell. That's not Liberal. It is Fascist.
..and that's the problem. The interesting characters have been missing for a while. It takes more than plot. You need interesting characters with an impish grin or twinkle in their eye. These are the ones I found interesting by series:
TOS: Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, Sulu, Chekov (Sulu and Chekov were just kind of their in the series but improved in the movies, I thought.)
TNG: Picard, Data, Worf, Troi, O'Brian, Riker, Q, Wesley Crusher
DS9: Sisco, Quark, Kira, Odo, Worf, O'Brian, Weyoun and that fey Cardassian
VOY: 7 of 9, The EMH (Torres and Paris almost but they still ended up as milktoasts like the rest)
ENT: Shran, Trip, the Dog (I like T'pols breasts as much as the next guy but I don't care what happens to the character)
I finally gave in to the pressure from fans telling me how much better than Star Trek the BSG was so I tuned in. At the wrong time. And started watching Stargate: Atlantis. It realy is an enjoyable show so far but unfortunately I was unimpressed by Battlestar itself. Cylons are Asian women who scowl now? I liked the chromed robots better. But for the sake of those who enjoy it I hope it has a long run!
Yes, but that's not a bad thing. Limited liability allows you to keep your house and not lose all your assets if your corporation screws up. It's not entirely fair to whomever you do damage to but it has the benefit of limiting risk to people trying to build new businesses. It is an attempt to spark initiative and avoid stagnation.
If you've gone to silly land and are arguing that any rules make a market not free I could be silly also and suggest that a truly free market should allow the sale of anything including nukes or people or point out that our "free" society does not let me commit murder.
The W is silent. If you don't pronounce the L and the T you need speech therapy. Ah-Mond and Offin. You really speak like that!? Surely people round the corners off of words but silent R's are just mispronunciations. But you feel free to axe for pasketty with me-balls when you dine Italian. Me, I'll just giggle.
PtrA != PtrB
Another amazing Microsoft Technology, I see. I wonder how I could leverage this in mission critical applications to ensure self-healing scalability.
The simple solution is to lobby city governments to ban any cable companies involved in this anti-competitive crap from being the local cable provider. Then the lawsuits start. The telcos will need another solution. Possibly telephone cords and necks should be involved.
No one is forcing English on anyone except maybe the pilots. You don't even have to speak English in the USA. Wanna vote in spanish? Fine, you can. As to American culture ifiltrating france: Would it really hurt that bad to air-condition your old people? I know the grave-diggers union is strong and all... Yeah, Yeah, low blow but the superiority air gets old. But look up french people, your language isn't going to dissappear! Some people are always going to learn it because chicks dig french and italian. German however may be fucked. It isn't helping anyone but Germans get laid.

Jingoistic enough for ya pinko mods?
In Soviet Russia, Beowulf Clusters are Step 2, you insensitive clod. Pinkos mod down any reasonable comment I make so fuck it.
