thanks, what I meant was the screen shots said "Import IE profiles and bookmarks", not "Import IE and other profiles and bookmarks", so it's good to hear it will also import Opera.
Seriously, can anyone give us a brief overview of what they are and why we should be really excited about the new Firefox Developer Tools option that I saw in the screenshots of the installation?
Even disregarding morality, there's still the regular STDs like gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, hepatitis, etc.
Morality doesn't exist at the biological and biochemical level. Science is observation, not an attempt to project one's views on the world.
That said, you're absolutely correct in terms of STDs, and impacts on "the 2nd sexual revolution".
Ah, for the good old days... yes, I'm that old. I remember when AIDS became a deal, even though being straight, I clued in a few years later than the gay community.
They're already working on a cure for 50 percent of all cancers, over in the UK. The trials are likely to take until 2010 or 2012, though. It's kind of fun, they use the apotosis mechanism and internal heat to make the cancer kill itself while the non-cancer cells hum along fine (with about 1 percent good cell death, very low).
- solar energy that's +60% effecient
We already have +40% efficient low cost flexible solar cells. Better results from wind turbines, though. I wouldn't worry about this one.
5. AIDS vaccine is found, triggering second sexual revolution
Well, we do have a better understanding of the receptor mechanisms, and we do have vaccine trials, but I don't think it's likely to result in a second sexual revolution, America's too uptight.
On a lighter note, the lab I was working at last year just announced a major discovery from our work (back when funding wasn't on hold) of a major Malaria drug target receptor mechanism. That will be good news.
But I can pretty much guarantee that half the people in Africa are still going to die from immuno-compromised diseases - and they're 90 percent straight for all you mythologists who think HIV is gay-related.
is precisely when the Next Big Thing is about to happen.
My guess right now would be the breakdown of traditional media, in our censored US society. But I'm just guessing, I have no real idea what the next Big Thing will be...
well, I think that there's nothing wrong with a Blue Hat conference, it can even be useful, but trying to pretend that Blue Hatters will be attacking one's weak points is as disasterous as attacking Iraq or Iran and not expecting an ever-changing homebrewed guerilla warfare that adapts faster than one can plan.
the reality is that the attackers will be Black Hats. Blue Hats may be useful, but they aren't the ones attacking you.
and then just ignore the fact that people still press LPs in large quantities, the store that sells LPs three blocks from my house and does a booming business,...
face it, CDs will be around for a while.
except they flake under exposure to sunlight, magnetism, and temperature variations after about 3-5 years.
sure reminds me of the pocket game Globbo that I playtested for Steve Jackson Games... except it was an alien babysitter and the little ones tried to bite you or explode.
and it's all renewable too (live in Seattle, purchase green power).
Some easy ways to reduce power:
1. use LCD flat screen instead of CRT;
2. replace lightbulbs with flourescent lightbulbs as they burn out (1/8 energy);
3. get a good UPS system ($99 or less on TigerDirect) which allows you to turn off power automatically via software, and send shutdown and kill signals to programs that don't need to be on (such as backup servers, monitors, TVs, etc).;
4. run off of flash RAM USB keychains and such that are low power, and consider using LEDs instead of incandescent lights.
And now I have many times the processing power, even with less energy usage.
are you arguing that you're on-topic? it was called irony. something used since the time of the Greeks - and we still don't have copies of most of their comedies, only their dramas, due to media not surviving.
I actually finished that god-forsaken game. It is just EVIL. (Loved it)
Yes, it is. I never finished it, but I came quite close. Probably half of the time I was playing that game was The Pit version of Tetris, watching the bodies dissolving into goo, as they cried out in agony during the Black Death.
I expect the version of Tetris to survive will be the one in the Monty Python and the Holy Grail game, where one piled dead and dying corpses on top of each other, some... well... not quite dying as in "I'm not dead yet.", "I'm feeling better."
Just imagine what would happen if people decided to rebel, and started typing in useful search phrases over and over, while hosting web pages which had those keywords.
It's like a thousand al-Qaedas all at once.
That's how you deal with an intrusive government in Soviet America.

actually, it's mozilla 1.8.1 if you want to be technical ... which will become 2.0 alpha eventually
thanks, what I meant was the screen shots said "Import IE profiles and bookmarks", not "Import IE and other profiles and bookmarks", so it's good to hear it will also import Opera.
but not from Opera.
Why?
and we will share the fire of the fox.

Are we talking HTML, CSS, what?
either that or a good Tully's espresso maker ... (also Seattle, probably used by Blue Hatters)

A short list:
- curing cancer

only that it will happen.

our chief weapons are:
Fear
Torturous OS
and a distinct desire for coffee, preferably espresso con lattee, although I'll settle for a mocha

nah, I just use my $500 laptop (reconditioned eMachine AMD 2600 with 788 (+/-) MB RAM) and it uses very little power. but thanks for the suggestion.
Pretty high quality, even the Dad N' Me one.

Getting kicked off of Wow for using a bot keyboard $15
... PRICELESS!
Complaining about it uselessly $0
Posting it to Slashdot so everyone can see how high your 14M3 factor is
After all, if you can't use a programmable keyboard in WoW to mine gold with, how are you supposed to get rich?
are you arguing that you're on-topic? it was called irony. something used since the time of the Greeks - and we still don't have copies of most of their comedies, only their dramas, due to media not surviving.
Games that are in movies will survive.
Think of:
War Games (would you like to play Global Thermonuclear War)
3D Chess (Star Trek, many others)
and let's not forget the one in the movie Big.
oh, so that's why i had no problem at the bridge of death ...
what part of entertainment don't you get?
it is an issue. but, regardless, it's not going to be saved.
do you own a 500 year old game? really? considering there were thousands from back then, why have only a few (handful) survived?
perhaps tetris will survive, but few others will. ok, maybe mario go kart.
I actually finished that god-forsaken game. It is just EVIL. (Loved it)
Yes, it is. I never finished it, but I came quite close. Probably half of the time I was playing that game was The Pit version of Tetris, watching the bodies dissolving into goo, as they cried out in agony during the Black Death.
Very Evil. And Very Fun.
