"In the same kind of configurations, Firefox survived relatively unscathed. Only.09 percent of domains infected the Mozilla Corp. browser when it was set, like IE, to act as if the user clicked through security dialogs; no domain managed to infect the Firefox-equipped PC in a drive-by download attack."
So we can say that if you don't explicitly accept anything, you're safe with Firefox. Pretty much what I expected.
How about patenting "a method for earning money by rejecting stupid patent applications"
1. Examine the patent application.
2. Reject the patent on basis of application stupidity.
3. The company adjusts the application a bit.
4. The company pays application fees again.
5. Profit!
6. Repeat.
Hmmm... I could license that to USPTO.
Windows users have always been given CDs with drivers along with most of their hardware; just include some free filesystem and install support for it along with the device drivers.
The idea of portable USB sticks is that they are small and easy to take with you. If you have to carry a driver CD and have to have admin rights for the system and reboot Windows after installing the drivers, it certainly isn't a good thing.
If that's stupid blind faith, it's impossible to not to be stupid. I don't think anyone can read every line of source code of every program he uses, get access to full motherboard etc documentation, grow his food by himself etc etc and etc. We really need to trust someone if we want to stay alive.

I think it might be a tad too warm for cold fusion.
This has been mentioned earlier but it's kelvins. If you're going to be a science nazi, do it right.
Truly ingenious.
Now we only need to get the answer out of a non-existant quantum computer.
I think it depends on the size of the coconut.
Whether they can be held accountable is up for the courts to decide.
And in the future, slime mold will take over the legal departme... oh, forget it.
I was just going to say that. Man, you people are quick.

I wonder what the numbers will be for IE 7.
Has Godot arrived yet?

If you don't play games much, the older Radeons (up to 9250) have 3d acceleration support in the open source drivers, so it might be a good bargain.
I think AOLers are quite safe from Chinese censorship.
I'm fine as long as they don't make an army of insurance salesmen.
Auto-trolling is not the answer.
In Soviet Russia, concrete walls sense through you!
If we're nitpicking, I doubt that people without internet can't edit Wikipedia. Besides, nobody promised that everyone could edit everything.
I, for one, welcome our 60% bigger rodent overlords. Seriously though, wonder how long it takes until they develop something like this for humans?
If gadgets are so worthless, then things are going pretty bad for Intel. :)_ haves.htm

I'm thinking it was the "big-breasted glory".
And are we talking about magnetic or geographical North Pole?
Yes, they've been doing that quite some while in their player software.

And if productivity doesn't go up, execute other people until you've found the right ones and productivity soars. :
