I hate too feed the troll, but if I use Adblock, and if I like the site, and I visit regularly I'll ctrl-shift-b, hit refersh, and click on the ads now and then. If and when a whitelist is added I'll use it. However the rest of the time I don't like Ads stoping me from enjoying the web.
If you say so, despite being "of Indian origin" (as UK government forms designate me), I can't stand most Bollywood films; there's only about three storlines ever been made, the rest of the huge numbers of films that Bollywood pumps out(the produce many more than hollywood every year) are just slight varients. Unfortunatly they go for quantity rather than quality in the hope of some good films being made. Actors are often performing for 2 or even 3 films at the same time. Can you imagine a hollywood acor doing that and putting top performances in for both?
Since when did the world's largest trading block become "INSIGNIFICANT AND UTTERLY UNIMPORTANT"? I think you'll find that the US of A will have to play by EU rules just as much as the EU has to play by US ones.
Absolutely - a good rule-of-thumb when using the internet is: "don't believe everything you read". It's best to have multiple sources for any sort of information, preferably those with some sort of documentation to back up their claims.
Why just on the internet? That's a good rule of thumb for any academic research, don't rely on a single source, be it a book or a webpage, always use multiple sources. Books can be written by people with agenda's aswell.
If I remember my history properly China also holds some disputed territory that Pakistan ceeded to it, but is claimed by India. Wikipedia confirms that there are two border disputes though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aksai_Chin
We got exactly the same thing, for some reason they thought input\output & swing was best left till the 2nd year. In reality it just made learning Java harder for me.
Exactly, also being tied into the OS potentially makes any exploits, cracks etc. more dangerious. If some script kiddy has somthing that crashes your browser, only my browser crashes, with IE on the other hand, I've had the whole of Windows crash.
Me too, I stuck with GIMP, but I gave up on rational Rose and started using JUDE instead (which has the additional benifit of being freeware and my uni supports both). Yes I'm cheap going for the free option in both cases.
Yes. The citizens should disarm, defang, declaw, and cripple the state so that it stops creating enemies by committing crimes against humanity.
Problem solved.
A revolution isn't needed just yet, but it's sure getting closer and the first up against the wall will be people like Dame Eliza.
In July, fifty or so people were killed by terrorists. That was the first major terrorist attack since the IRA declared a cease-fire and it was alost the biggest terrorist act in (recent) British history. As much as it is a tragedy that those lives were lost, is it worth changing the relationship between citizen and state for the sake of fifty dead? The same can also be said about 9/11 or the madrid bombings. Yes four thousand people were killed in 9/11 but four times as many die per year in US due to gun fatalities. In terms of a threat to the average citizen of any particular state, the threat posed by terrorism is right down in the noise level. It is my belief that a greater threat to our liberty is posed by the onerous legislation being passed worldwide than by terrorism.
Well said. Honestly, the thinking behind legislation such as this baffles me; in terms of fatalities, perhaps we shold ban cars here in the UK, afterall 10 people a day die in road related accidents; that is obviously a stupid idea, yet the government seems obsessd by a risk far less than that of being run over by a bus. Personally I'd rather take the risk than give up my civil liberties.

I've got to wonder if their servers are down
I'm getting a 502 server error now so I think that might be right.
It's still got the beta logo though; perhaps it's in some pre-lab stage?
Same here, the OPML import just gave an error message telling me it wasn't formatted correctly.

Sorry I seem to have gone abit OTT.
Wizz RSS is a great FF RSS News reader.
No, but it takes an age to load; just wait a while.
How can you put the words Bollywood and quality in the same sentance? And I can watch them in the original Hindi.
;-)

Time to get out the popcorn then.
Not really, the first think "Sky" Brings to mind is one mr R. Murdoch
Firesomthing gives me a random browser name for every instance of firefox I have open. Currently I'm running Mooncougar
That would explain the awful W3C standards (non-)compliance that Google has
There's a good greasemonkey script that puts a delete button into gmail.

It's what's known as an editorial. Well an attempt at one anyway.

I personally would rather be alive with no freedom, than dead with plenty of freedom
There are many, myself included, who would rather die than live a life without freedom; a life of slavery, is no life at all.
