While most of the features in flock aren't really useful (and the theme hurts my eyes), I kind of like the way their news reader works. Does anyone know of a FF extension that works in a similar manner (with a button that changes itself when there are new items)?
This is where area codes come into play. Area codes are one of the most vile inventions of the anti-consumer industry. Each DVD player is configure for only one area code, and will refuse to play DVDs from other area codes even though playing them is technically possible. Thus, a bunch of DVDs my family collected in Israel are now useless in the USA since our player only supports area code 1 (the USA and maybe some EU countries).
The worst part of it all is that, because of the DMCA, it is ILLEGAL to try to bypass the area code system.
That's just trolling. Even if we were all insanely intelligent, there would still be a majority of people under 110 IQ. By definition, 100 is the median IQ, therefore claiming that there is a majority of people with an IQ below X (where X is an IQ larger than 100) is meaningless. The more important question is that of the capabilities of a person with an IQ of 100.
Next thing you'll know, maybe they'll realize that running executables out of the browser is a bad idea, and that an arbitrary execution flaw on CD insertion is NOT a feature.

Uh, that's what most linuxers do, and it's pretty damn convenient to switch users, too. You just write su in the shell, put in your password and you've got admin privs! Amazing, isn't it? You know what's even more amazing, that that existed way before OSX was even born!
Also, isn't it terrific that when I want to select an administration app from the GNOME menu, it does exactly as you described?

GMail using ASP.NET? I don't think so. I'd guess they're using Python or Java. They couldn't use something that runs only on windows, anyway.
agreed, I hate it too. I also hate it when people put quotes inside quotes without switching the quote type. Please try reading the following sentence:
"So then he said "I will kill you because you can identify me" and stormed out of the building "
I program a lot for my school website, which is hosted using a service which gives us Mysql as a database server. Personally, I have nothing against mysql. It does the job satisfactorily enough and, frankly, I don't really need many advanced features.
Also, many CMSes use MySql as their only database (Wordpress, anyone?).

There's a new web 2.0 service called Wankr (beta), check it out!
Obligatory nitpick: Linux doesn't run on your toaster, NetBSD does.

No, the music's crap too.

That's (ku|xu|u|edu)buntu, (k|x||ed)ubuntu, or *ubuntu.
These are fucking parked domains, as far as anyone is concerned, they can be hosted on MacOS9.

Yeah, just like they knew how to kill spam.
