I would never join a union, because I don't want to be limited by the abilities of every other union member that works in my department. Unions seem to benefit people that are lazy/don't have the skills to get paid more than a decent wage.
So you won't mind handing back all those benefits and rights that Unions have fought for and won over the years, you know, like better working conditions, education reforms, paid holidays, healthcare etc. Do some research please before spouting off your baseless polemic, you sound like a throw back to the of 1800s. Really, this sort of me-me-me 'I'm alright Jack' attitude is indicative of a the selfish malaise that infects society. Lets see you get screwed over by a large company and see how you like it.
Catholic priests drink red wine during mass to symbolise the Blood of Christ.
Strictly speaking it doesn't 'symbolise' the blood of Christ it IS the blood of Christ. I don't get to use words like 'transubstantiation' that often in polite company, but it's worth a read up on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transubstantiation
That's a specious argument and akin to saying "That's because you have no idea why the Moon is made of Cheese...."... because it's NOT made of cheese, that's why, in the same way Homeopathy doesn't work and there's still no evidence that it's any more effective than the placebo effect.
There's a helluva lot more money behind vaccines, so it's no wonder that their PR prevails.
Seriously, you're contending that homeopathy can act as a vaccine? What next, homeopathy resolves the conflict in the Middle east? And this is not about PR it's about clear, scientific, testable results, none of which have been forthcoming from any test involving Homeopathic 'remedies'.
Out of all the extensions I use httpFox is by far the one I use the most and integral in my job. Losing this would single handedly make my job 10 times more complex as we'd have to use inefficient mechanisms to visualise what the browser is calling. As has been said already there are much bigger bugs and issues for them to fix before going after this one. Or is this Google working behind the scenes trying to push FF in a direction where users simpler giveup and move to Chrome?
Now I'm not positive about marajuana, but as for Coke, Heroine and Meth; a single use is usually all it takes to become an addict.
Mork calling Orson! Mork calling Orson! Come in Orson!
You really really need to stop listening the propaganda peddled by the anti-drugs lobby. To state that a single dose is 'usually all it takes to become an addict' is both factually incorrect and at worse simply disingenuous.
If we're going to have debate about this then can we please leave all the usual knee-jerk crap at the front-door.
Of for god's sake, what are we 12 years old? I don't at to play with you anymore, you're not playing nice!
Don't like it..? then DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! I'm sick and tired of people harping on about broken this, and defunct that and not working whatever... get of your lazy arse and go out and change it if you don't like it instead of bleeting on about how unfair and terrible everything is!
That you 'refuse to vote' is a disgusting indictment on the men and women who've laid down their lives in order to give you that right! If you refuse to vote when you're entitled to vote you've no legitimate voice in the political debate.
Just remember, every time you vent your political opinion in future it's worthless and empty unless you engage the political process!
That all these 'fakes' were discredited is testament to the scientific process not condemnation of it.
There is no scientific evidence of non-existence, you can't do it, it's impossible to disprove evolution, much in the same way that it is impossible to disprove I'm actually a monkey in a room full of monkeys bashing this out randomly on a 1932 typewriter. Perhaps I might also be able to rumble up a copy of some Bronze Age text in the process... but even then they'd be some nutter claiming that in fact in doing so it's proof of the Grand Architect's miraculous powers.
But you're not creating an unauthorized copy either. Getting one, yes, but not creating one.
In UK law the when you copy a file you are in effect 'creating' a file, it's simply a copy of the existing file in question. It does not neccessarily differentiate between the actual rip/enciding of the original DVD or the copying of the . Whether that file existed elsewhere the process of making another copy is the process of "creating" it. I'm pretty sure US law views things in the same way.
At last someone talking sense! If I could mod you up I would. This whole issue is so easily fixed. To be honest a large number of people had resolved this issue when the whole Eolas thing hit the fan years ago. OPnce again people, this si simply for hardcoded activeX components in your page, use javscript to render it into the page voila... sorted. Online ads won't stop working, any network or ad-tech provider worth it's salt has resolved this ages ago.
It's naiive commentary and attitudes like yours that cause all the damn problems in this country. If you think socialism is so great, why don't you move to a socialist country?
cough splutter, splutter, cough splutter, spit.
Superb, absolutely superb, I really honestly didn't think red-necks like you still existed, thanks for giving me a laugh this morning and pointing out the obvious error of our evil socialist ways. Damn, what was I thinking believing in a system that puts people first.
That's the trouble, customers aren;t always right are they?
As an example, if you work in Tech Support, your customer base is your cubicle/offices full of "l-users". Now, repeat after me, "The l-users are always right".:-)
Ad impressions are ALWAYS less than page impressions in my experience (I look after adoperations for a very large UK site), this is primarily as a result of the various adblocking initiatives out there, of which adblock represents only part, other well established adblocking utilties,.hosts files routing known adserver traffic to localhost etc.... depending on what type of advert and which network/server it is being delivered from it is will give you varying degrees of difference.
Why anyone would want to download the ad but not watch it is
The issues you describe regarding waiting for a page to load are easily overcome on the publishers side by using iframes as the delivery mechanism, however they have their own overhead and security issues and have been dropped by many publishers over the past 3 years reverting to javascript tags instead...
Adblocking used to really wind me up, but now I've seen it level out it doesn't bother me that much. In the greater scheme of things I get more headaches in reconciling adserver and 3rd party descrepancies or dealing with rogue spiders/bots than I do worrying about adblocking.
Just a thought, but does Extremely Critical actually make sense? I mean, that the flaw is critical would seem to be the key here, that they've identified it as 'extremely' critical would indicate that there various gradations of criticality?
No?
Or does it simply mean that it's a flaw in IE that when activated starts to criticise what you're wearing, or moans about how much time you spend on the keyboard and that you've not phoned your mum in over 3 weeks, and isn't it about time you got your haircut pulled your socks up and started looking for a real job rather than 'playing' on computers all day?

When element 419 is created can we name it Nigerium?
And you have no idea how homeopathy works.

I thought the ultimate judge of normalcy in the UK was the Daily Mail?
The lack of freedom and incarceration IS the deterrent.

I think this is the clear line between character driven comedy and situation comedy. It's Monty Python vs Carry On.
