I've had mine at the top of the screen for about 6 months now. I put it there because I decided it made sense to have all the toolbars, menus etc. on the same side of the screen, rather than having the taskbar at the bottom and all other controls at the top.
My school started using OpenOffice to save licensing costs. They installed OpenOffice 1.1 (or some other old crappy version) on their Windows 98 boxes and it was unusably slow, took 2 minutes to open a document, and wouldn't open documents linked from web pages properly (that was probably internet explorer's fault though)
Unfortunately now all the students hate OpenOffice.
Why are there no good text-based browsers? I know there are usable ones, but can anyone name a single text-based browser that supports AJAX? A text-based browser where CSS positioning actually works? A text-based browser which has tabbed browsing?
None of these features actually require a graphical display. There's even a CSS media type specifically for character-based terminals. But for some reason people seem to have this idea that just because text-based browsers are using decades-old display technology they should also be decades behind in functionality.
A square, by definition, has four and only four sides. I am aware that a shape with three parallel lines intersecting at 90-degree angles could exist in some non-Euclidean space, but if it had seven sides it would not be a square.
They are only going to regulate locally produced content. But we would know this already if the editor had bothered to spend his time doing some research rather than falsely accusing the Australian government of not understanding the Internet.
No one accuses TV regulators of not understanding the medium, even though anyone with a transmitter can broadcast whatever they want. Everyone's just so used to TV being regulated that it doesn't occur to them that the radio spectrum is physically just as unregulatable as the Internet. Just like the internet, there's no way for the government to physically block people from using the medium.
The really sad thing is that in today's world your comment actually sounds almost realistic. Taxing batteries makes about as much sense as taxing blank paper. I wonder if maybe they should tax RAM a billion times more than paper, because you could potentially rewrite it billions of times with different copyrighted material.
So, as knowledge approaches zero, money approaches infinity.
Because income tax increases as money earned increases, income tax increases as knowledge decreases. Assuming that bigger brains know more, they would get taxed less, therefore you're wrong.
We can't let the ISPs have a monopoly on child porn databases and filtering. We need an open-source child porn database, using open standards and free from DRM, and freely available to the public, so that everyone can access all the world's child porn and thereby protect themselves against it.

Apple never installed a rootkit on my system.

Isn't this discussion of exploitable weaknesses in encryption technology in violation of the DMCA?

Are you calling philosophy stupid? I'm sure I'm not the only one here to believe that users are stupid and philosophy isn't.

NOOOOOOOOO! You told people to click the ads! Google will cancel our AdSense account! The end is nigh!!!

Yes, definitely. Because the hard drive moves less, you'll need less nanotube lube.
Indeed, we should embrace and extend it.

There is a "no preference" option, sort of. You can turn up to a polling booth and not vote. It's not compulsory to actually vote, only to turn up.

If you distributed a film depicting me being ass raped and dismembered, I wouldn't care.
Why not just use a sane distro that actually uses a normal non-hacked Linux kernel?
Knowledge is power.
Time is money.
Power = work/time
Therefore:
Knowledge = work/money
Money = work/knowledge
So, as knowledge approaches zero, money approaches infinity.
Because income tax increases as money earned increases, income tax increases as knowledge decreases. Assuming that bigger brains know more, they would get taxed less, therefore you're wrong.

Yay, switching between windows in 3D! I consider that particular feature to be so useless it's not worth mentioning.
