Exactly this. The FBI surely has better things to do than crack the whip on some kid copying a movie - aren't they supposed to be out catching the legitimate Top Ten Wanted guys? Somehow the so-called justice system got hijacked by media controllers and they even managed to drag INTERPOL in as well.
Amazing. Just amazing.
4) You have a right to think the way you do, however wrong it is, but you do not have a right to put a sign out on your lawn preaching hate speech just because a bunch of people in your neighborhood are different than you. Everyone else has the right not to feel harassed by hate speech.
While it is an annoying "feature" that the text box resizes, a better fight for devs to get into would be tackling larger aspects of the program... like making file transfers work, work reliably, in all protocols. Or perhaps adding webcam support or a plug-in for same.
Maybe this isn't really about the text box itself but the attitudes which arose from the suggestion of changing its behaviour.

I did not go through the Florida public school system, and do not know anyone who did. Still I have a hard time believing that they did not teach evolution before this... in *some* form. At least I hope they taught it, for it would be a crime against reason to omit evolution from the curriculum.
Anyone from FL wish to chime in and shed some light?
... so the CoS can get the name and address of the auction lister, then Fair Game them as they see fit. According to eBay's VeRO ToS they will gladly hand this information over.
That's curious because on my desktop machine I use swap bays for the drives and have one with XP Pro for games and one with Ubuntu 7.10. Running on the exact same hardware, natively installed on a harddrive all to itself (though that shouldn't matter), the same Linux apps in general are faster than their Windows counterparts. I run mostly GTK apps, and the GIMP is noticeably faster in Linux than XP, as is Firefox.

So much for smaller government.
AKA the Ministry of Information.
My entire lawn for mod points to give you, good sir.
The IdeaPads are crap compared to ThinkPads, don't even consider them. It's like Lenovo's toy division compared to armored vehicle production.

The police/prosecutors can, and do, lie as often as they like.
Anything to get a conviction, which makes them look good.

You should tell this to the Phelps crowd.

Why aren't they focusing the same attention on elections in the USA?
for those who "tweet" is "twat".
Much more fitting.

Move along.
Where are my moderator points when I need them?
+1 to you, sir.

You forgot the all-important "yet" in that statement.
What happens when the technology and data mining capabilities do exist to piece together everything about you? Will such data be infallible?
Try an old Model M. Never a problem with that sort of thing.

...and watch what you say outside of a free-speech zone. Shhhhh! Don't let them know we still have free-speech zones!After reading it I am yet again reminded of the dark side of passive-aggressive I-Know-Better-Than-Thou.
I live, work, and drive in Seattle, so this isn't just some offhand comment from far away.

These are my experiences, YMMV.
Unfortunately that's how [most] things are done there.
Explains a lot, doesn't it?
Perhaps they should have forced it upon employees for more "real-world" testing first?
