Instead of thinking how to fix important problems or how to explore space, we're investigating such pressing matters as "How do I find that episode in which...
Because you can't possibly do both, duh.
And whilst exploring space is an interesting pursuit, science is not at the point where we can colonise other planets and this doesn't help people get fresh water does it.
Menu bar, tabs and status bar all have options to be put back to 3.x style and once you change back the to the classic look they stay there through upgrades. Putting a close button on the status bar is kind of bizarre and petty though.
As for plugins working, the only problem I ever have with my 18 extensions is that no-script and ghostery clash and cause browser freezes with new page loads.
The best you can do is vote for "the best available" and hope that they see what works
This is why I hate first past the post voting systems, at least with proportional representation your vote for an alternative voice can be heard. Western voting systems are strongly weighted towards the largest parties.
In the UK the three main parties would all go to war at the drop of a hat, There's no way I will vote for them, I'd rather vote Monster Raving Looney (yes that's a party).
I wonder what America's next war will be, there's an war machine/economy to support, America's really dug itself into a hole with that one.
If you keep voting for rancid maggots then you'll keep getting rancid maggots, so why vote for them?
Better to not vote at all, to the point potential good candidates will see a low turnout and think maybe they have a chance of winning if they enter the race.
UAC, I'd prefer a virus, it's one of the annoying things that I turn off straight away.
Admin, I run as that, admittedly it's a small risk but who want's their operating system hassling them all the time? Privelege escalation vulnerabilities are so common that any virus worth it's salt will just escalate.
Best way not to get a virus/trojan is to keep your browser/plugins and internet facing software up to date and don't run executables from unreliable sources.
Haven't had a virus since code red, internet modems typically came with firewalls after that (so I don't use a software firewall).
Slashdotters are so biased re nuclear power, I now get less mod points because some asshat who disagreed with me modded my nuclear power related posts as troll and flamebait - Any opposing view is flamebait to a person who is fanatical enough in their opinion, so that shouldn't affect mod points.
So if you don't agree with the consensus, shut-up or you don't get mod points.
My cousin bought a 2nd hand playstation from ebay, it turned out to be permanetly banned from the PSN. Most if not all of the games wanted to connect to PSN and would not work even in single player mode which practically makes the Playstation a brick, she already has a DVD played and a PC so the Playstation is completely useless.
Let this be a warning - never buy 2nd hand consoles, never buy sony and be very careful when buying 2nd hand games, films, etc from now on.
Not everybody can afford or has the time to attempt a million+ dollar lawsuit with a conglomerate.
Ok, you win the word 'its', I mistakenly thought an apostrophe should be there to mark ownership.
As for 'Does the CIA' or 'Do the CIA' - both are correct, although as I think of the CIA as being a group of people and not a single entity, 'Does the CIA' sounds wrong to me as an English person.
So the correct term can also be: 'How do the CIA keep their IT staff honest?'
Article is very vague and made up of vague anecdotes, none of the research seemed to be empirical or scientific in any way.
Overall it's rubbish.
Researchers often showed users how to achieve their goals - this IMHO means the OS has failed because the user couldn't find their way without assistance. In reality this would of entailed lots of frustration and swearing as things didn't work as expected.
What the f*** would the point of that be? in the UK they blur out door numbers and street signs which is bloody inconvenient when you're researching visiting a place.
So when your wife and children are dead in a pile-up on the motorway in an accident caused by a motorist who wasn't paying attention because they were nattering on their phone, how are you going to punish the dead driver?
Ah Swap space, supposedly it should be 1.5x your memory... even back when I had 8mb memory!! I turned that off years ago and haven't had a problem in either xp or win 7, don't know about Linux, worth a try.
But the cost of foreign imported drugs has soared, from about 50% to 85% of the Aids programme's cost.
Way to hide the fact that the cost of the drugs went up 6-fold, I did the math, if drugs was $50 and other costs $50 then they'd have to go to drugs approx $300 + other costs $50 for BBCs percentage figures to work, typical pro-corporate number fudging by the BBC.

Tools -> Preferences -> Show settings (bottom left) -> Switch to 'All' view.
Then
Video (click to expand) -> Subtitles/OSD -> Text Rendering mode -> Choose [Dummy font Renderer]
Click [Save]
You won't be bothered by 'building the font cache' after that.

no-one; noÃne (obsolete)
'No-one' is in my Collins dictionary so I'm going to continue using it.
CIA's staff are their staff, note the apostrophe there has nothing to do with the word 'is'.
For example: The dog ate it's food. I painted my house's door.
The CIA is not a single entity it is a group of people (Like they)!!!!!!!!!!

Does no-one know grammar anymore? I'm not great at grammar, but that just sounds wrong.

Canada's federal debt is estimated to total $566.7 billion for the 2010â"11 fiscal year
And the Canadian budget is ~$278B for 2011
So $13.6 billion over several years is small by comparison, and is an investment, some % of which would come back in taxes.
That's not how I've ever heard the term used in common language, see:
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/fourfold
That's how (n)-fold is commonly used.
