Most people I know (admittedly casual downloaders, I don't know any big-time downloader) use TPB above any other torrent site. I guess I know a guy that uses a private site a lot, but that's it.
Actually most of the laws are still in place. I mean, the legal foundation of India was built during the Raj (as were the railways and goodness knows what else).
FWIW, it works fine for me on Firefox 3.6 on Debian squeeze (yes, I ditched iceweasel and just downloaded FF). Once I allowed fsdn.com in noscript, even the little javascript things like in-line reply are working.
I hated the previous redesigns but this one actually looks decent and I like it much better than the last one. Now once they fix the bugs like keyboard shortcuts (mentioned above) it might just be great.
Wait, you're calling Russia mature for not changing laws (within days of the incident, no less)? What do laws matter in a country without the rule of law? I realise you're probably some well-off morally righteous American without the slightest sense of history, but come on -- the USA may not be the most mature country around, but it's light-years ahead of Russia.
No, worse than that, the computer to break your encryption need only be as strong as the computers performing encryption OR decryption. In other words, if you want anyone without a supercomputer to be able to use your encryption, then anyone without a supercomputer can break it too.
If there's a polynomial-time way of breaking a one-way function, the encryption based on it will be worthless.
What I hate the most about the ribbon is giving instructions to nontechnical friends. I used to be able to say "Format -> Paragraph" or "Insert -> Symbol". Now? No words. This has virtually stopped my ability to help my nontechnical friends and relatives with their questions about Office. I've managed a few times since then, but oh, how ever so laboriously!
But seriously. I like text menus too, even just for my own use.
Thank goodness my only contact with MS Office these days is when I have to help others. If I actually had to use it myself I'd go up the wall.
The funny thing is, it's very rare to actually get anything when what you're selling is your principles. I won't say there hasn't ever been an instance where someone compromised on his principles and later was able to go back to thtem and have gained something in the meantime, but it also wouldn't surprise me if it has never happened.
Compromising may be better than sticking to the principles in question, but temporarily giving up on principles virtually never works.
Funny, growing up it was always "Crick and Watson" (I grew up in Hungary). From all I've read that's about the right order, though it's hardly surprising that in America it would be "Watson and Crick". Very many scientific discoveries are attributed to different people in different countries -- the difference is most stark on the two sides of the old Iron Curtain.
It balances things out if every man votes for what *he* wants. Reason doesn't need to enter into it. If the system is fair (and admittedly it isn't in America, but that doesn't take away from the concept), then just like free market economics, rational self-interest is great.
Really? If it's illegal to capture resources and use them against the owner, we can throw out half the rulebook of military strategy. If I understand you correctly, it must be a new rule, because every conflict I've read about up to the Falklands had instances of this kind of thing, typically fuel and guns.
BarTab with SessionManager and TabKit (for vertical, hierarchical tabs) has completely transformed my online experience. I now save sessions of research, trip planning, work, in fact almost all online browsing, into hierarchical sessions in my SessionManager categories. Then when I need them later I pull them up, lightning-fast thanks to BarTab. I probably still have 10 windows open but very few active tabs, so my RAM usage isn't high either (not that I care, but it's snappy, and that's what I care about).
Seriously, if you think of switching to Chrome for speed but would miss your extensions, give BarTab (and perhaps SessionManager and TabKit) a try. Treat yourself, you'll be amazed.
And not just apparently, but really. It's well-known that young people have a higher rate of suicide, and the pressures of college (after a relatively cosseted existence) can be an unusual burden at an unusually vulnerable time.
In Foxconn's case, we are talking about a middle-aged working urban population, which has a far lower rate of suicide all over the world than teens and students. Their suicide rate may be lower, but it's still higher than what would be expected for such a group in the rest of the world, and possibly even China (though I don't think there are statistics on the latter question).
Outsell everything on the market? The smartphones that can actually do those things, from RIM or Nokia, have a far greater marketshare than Apple, and even Android is growing faster than the iPhone. Nokia sells more phones per quarter than Apple have ever sold. Silicon Valley is not the world.

Well, executables anyway. :) Cheer up, media pirates!
Just use links or disable css/js then.
Yeah, comments in particular should take up one line's worth each when collapsed, not a sprawling, lazy 3 or 4 lines' worth.

That was the point of his post.
Or a war. The National Government that formed for the Second World War was a coalition, for instance, but of all parties in the House.

An obvious contradiction, i.e. lie.

How does that matter (in this day and age)? The only question is who wrote it up best.
It's octopods, actually.

And do you really believe that? Do you really believe that decisions can't be (and aren't) regularly taken by committee?
In the USA, our cities which have the strictest gun control laws, are the cities which have the highest homicide rates.
Well, gee, that's a correlation, don't you think there's a causation? Yes, the cities where violence is high will enact gun legislation.

We already admitted that Europe isn't the center of the world.
Wait, what?

One word will fix your problems; BarTab. I was in the same boat as you, I should know.
BarTab with SessionManager and TabKit (for vertical, hierarchical tabs) has completely transformed my online experience. I now save sessions of research, trip planning, work, in fact almost all online browsing, into hierarchical sessions in my SessionManager categories. Then when I need them later I pull them up, lightning-fast thanks to BarTab.
