While this doesn't necessarily apply to grocery lists, the ability to quickly write notes and have others view them online is a very appealing feature. If you were working for a software company and other employees are having difficulty figuring out how your code works, you might want to quickly jot down a small documentation, post it online, and give others the ability to edit it. Also, I'd say there's a higher chance of losing or getting corrupt files on your computer than having Google's (redundant?) servers somehow deleting it.
However if it was my company, I would rather have a system similar to that (quickly editing pages, posting publicly to company), but independent from the Internet. It'd be much less hassle in my opinion.
Seriously I just use the middle-button to close tabs. It's weird going to the small X to the right of the tabs. Having a small X on the tab would be even harder to click.
Also, for your information, middle-clicking a tab in default Firefox for Linux pastes the clipboard text into the location bar.
"It is known that there is an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the product of a deranged imagination."
That's what a figured you meant. It doesn't matter if it's an illusion. All the events leading up to the writing of this post influenced the neurons and such in my brain to type it. I can't randomly change the path of the chemical reactions in my brain. Everything influences how your brain perceives things, which is like beliefs.
Things are only unpredictable in quantum physics because we can't predict things on that small of a level (yet). Unless you have studied quantum physics and seen experiments in action yourself, then you can't say it's true. That sounds close-minded but that's what I believe. Until I study quantum physics myself, I'm going to believe in determinism.
Being an almost firm believer in determinism, I would say that there are no such things as (true) random numbers. If we were able to monitor the atmospheric noise (movements of atoms), and predict it perfectly, the numbers would be just as random as pseudo-random numbers generated by computers. However we are nowhere near that kind of technology, like the Googleplex Star Thinker in H2G2, so for the time, yeah, it basically is truly random.

Here's a sentence where puncuation is placed outside of quotes:
The correct usage is 'a lot', not 'alot'.
AFAIK, that is grammatically correct.
Hahaha! The whole thread before you is hilarious!
I would mod you up if I had mod points. Your post is very insightful.
One day when I was bored a compiled a list of all of the differences between American English and UK English.

'Once so ever' should actually be 'whatsoever' in your post.
Why does it have to orbit the sun? Can't there be planets somewhere other than our solar system? Do they even have to be in a solar system?
Vanuatu has a new Government. Please revisit this site next week.
:P
There's something very amusing about that.
I totally agree. That's pretty damn fast.
You should be modded up. That's a fun analogy.
Since when does saying that you agree get you modded 5, Insightful?

Let there be up-modding.
This is how science evolves. One theory revises another. At least they're willing to say they they were wrong, unlike hundreds of years ago.

Is that Windows XP in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
Is it healthy to hold that in your hand?
Really, if you just monitored the pixels that changed, you could get this faster than other people. You still have to wait a long damn time, though.
I'm not sure about long filenames, but Firefox wasn't the first to have tabs, and Google wasn't the first to have pay-per-click advertising.
Most of Google's products were bought from other companies, just like Microsoft does. Picasa, Hello, Earth, Blogger...
They can choose to hide it.
Now instead of the crackers finding out my password and stealing my data, they'll have to kill me to get the fingerprint scan as well.

How is that?
