Sure, but when you're opening a new tab, you're more than likely going to be typing in an address, so you're hands would already be on the keyboard. Your handing may differ, but for me it's my palm on Ctrl and my index/middle finger on T, so it's more like one keypress. Also (considering Fitts's Law) it's probably easier to do that than move the mouse to a 30ish pixel^2 button.
But then again I know that it's hard to change interfaces when you're used to the older one. In fact I used to have that button too. But I also extremely dislike the new "awesomebar".
Here's my skin/layout just for info. It's a custom Stylish stylesheet (smoother than image shows), but if you're interested I can send it.
Not that I support NCLB, but space exploration? Sending humans to Mars? Really, I think we should learn how to live on our own planet before colonizing another.
I hope they didn't ban Wikipedia completely, as in disallowing access to the site. Yes, it's very stupid to use Wikipedia as a direct source, but Wikipedia can and should be used much like encyclopedias, Google, and research databases are. You would never cite those themselves, but rather cite the sources that they get the information from.
But seriously... If you'd say yes, the FBI would claim probable clause, raid your house, beat you, and take your possessions and ability to smile at kittens. If you'd say no, you would look like a hapless, desperate pedophile searching for child pornography all day to no avail.
Muzzies blew up the World Trade Center? Like this guy?
In all seriousness you're being an ass by referring to Muslims as Muzzies. It'd make much more sense to refer to the attackers as extremists seeing as not the whole of Muslims are out to kill United States citizens.
You can turn it off completely. Read my earlier comment. I'm guessing that there is not a setting in the main options (yet) because it is not yet a finished/polished feature.
To disable Awesomebar read my earlier comment. I'd assume that there is no setting in the main options (yet) because it is not yet a finished/polished feature.
To disable Awesomebar: Go to about:config, type urlbar, "promise to be careful" if you haven't already, and either set browser.urlbar.maxRichResults to 0 or set browser.urlbar.matchOnlyTyped to true.
He was making the point that without the experience garnered by the use of the copied software, his friend never would have ended up purchasing it (I'm assuming that he did). It's the same with Photoshop: Many students learn the Photoshop environment by pirating it, to later purchase it when they have the money. Most students are not be able to pay $649 for the standalone version of Photoshop, let alone $1199+ for the Creative Suite bundles, so Adobe almost seems to turn a blind eye to the piracy of its software because it knows that it is gaining future customers.
As a side note, copyright infringement is not theft. They are two legally different things.
Where do you get "wear" numbers? I've worn the pants that I'm wearing now for at least four years without having them fade or rip. Maybe you wash them too hard or too often. I'm one of those people who wear pants more than once between washes, mainly to save the energy and water used by washing them. I'm in fact very hygienic, but I just don't see the need to wash my pants unless I sweat heavily or get something on them. So according to my calculator, if I've worn these pants say every four days for four years, that's 365 wears right there.
Yep, I have Google, Google Images, Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Dictionary.com, Thesaurus.com, lots of WordReference.com X to Y dictionaries, SongMeanings (not for meanings, but clutter-free lyrics), YouTube, Mininova, Demonoid, and GameFAQs.
Most are one letter, with some two or three, and four for the dictionaries (two language codes).
It's one of my favorite and most-used features of Firefox mainly because the keyword searches can be used without using a mouse. It's extremely easy to get information and find things quickly, especially with Stylish for custom styles in combination with Adblock Plus to hide page elements.
I had this very strange image in my head somewhat like that, and it sent shivers up my spine (not in the being scared way). I can't even explain it, it's just really weird, and now I feel high or something?

You must have watched the censored version on Nickelodeon.
"Watch out for your [VEGETABLE CAVITY], bud."
The other day I drove by a Burger King that had a sign saying "TRY OUR NEW INDY BURGER", confused as to what exactly an independent burger would be.

That checklist only works in the original "fighting spam" format. Replacing e-mail and spam with gamers and piracy doesn't really work...
When I disable mine, it's like a big guassian blur is applied.

That "excess" energy doesn't come from nowhere. Think about it. You're still essentially burning gas to charge the batteries.
Heh, I actually found that funny.

I like the oddly philosophical idea that only code that could be written in several ways is creative enough to deserve copyright protection.
When I read that I stopped for a moment too. It's a simple yet sensical idea.

:D Why wasn't this modded up?
Oops, apparently I didn't.
I like how your username sort of matches with your ID. :P
A bit off-topic, but I did post with no karma bonus.
Haha, the way you just nonchalantly state it is what gets me.
