ways suspicious when someone releases a benchmark that shows that their software is better than others, especially when other benchmarks have shown FF as slower than Chrome or Opera.

EFF says: "Stop using this program you've never heard of to circumvent national firewalls. And don't you DARE consider checking it out since you've heard about it now!"
Streisand effect, anyone?
I would like more details but I expect it is something like "if you use this it has flaws that may well reveal who you are, that you are avoiding the firewall and what you are viewing to the authorities". For someone in the USA trying to get to Facebook at work this might mean it is still worth a try... their network guys may not have herd of it. For someone in Iran where the project has been suggested as a way of avoiding state censorship it probably isn't worth the risk.
First link for "atheism" points to Conservapedia, which says:
Unlike Christianity, which is supported by a large body of sound evidence (see: Christian apologetics), atheism has no proof and evidence supporting its ideology.
If you were a comedian, you couldn't come up with something better than that. Are these people really that stupid?
Yes.
Ant of course it is vital that those who aren't that stupid don't see anything other than conservapedia and church articles...
I don't know what you are talking about, but the Earth rotates when I walk and at no other time for I am the center of the Universe and you will walk around me.
Is that you Jesus? I didn't expect you back so soon.
If you are going to blame a whole religious community you may as well allow a tit-for-tat reaction - I propose allowing muslims to destroy a Christian Church - a good one, Catholic or at least one where they take their shit seriously - but not allow them to rebuild. Karma restored and everyone is equally happy or unhappy.
I think you will find they have already destroyed hundreds.
Its interesting to compare the reaction of the Muslims supporting the mosque and community centre being build in the area damaged by the planes with the carmalite convent as auschwits, which was relocated.
And yes I would oppose converting a building damaged by a christian anti-abortion bomber to a church, or the opening of an irish Catholic centre at the site of the Baltic exchange.
Except that it has been gradually re-branded from a Mosque - through a mosque including a community centre to a community centre including a mosque.
And that the site was damaged in the attacks, making it part of ground zero
Where do they get that? Plenty of Americans with functioning synapses say the same damn thing about the Iraq Clusterfuck, and Terry Jones *IS* a fucking troglodyte.
You are absolutely correct. This is the same mentality as those who say that opposing the building of the Ground Zero Mosque is "anti-Islamic". You can dislike something supported by some members of a group without being "anti" that group.
Interesting that "White People" like red socks and NASCAR. There couldn't be a little bias here possibly, or would I really find that Italians, Norwegians, Russians, Africans and Bosnians really do have this type of interest.
Of course what I missed is your assumption that they are storing uncompressed 1080p on the card. Nobody does that, it would be compressed greatly by H.264 or a similar codec.
let me know when the knetbooks get touch screens and kill the trackpad (usb mice reduce portability). Until then, I'll be over at the tablets, drooling in anticipation.:)
It's a way to prevent wasting my time and money on commercial entertainment while still trying to maintain some connection with current popular culture.
Obviously not that good or you wouldn't be on slashdot!

Microsoft will deliver a touchscreen PC that is 'no thicker than a sheet of glass'
That's smashing!
> A DVD is a tangible good, no different than a book.
Yes it is. I should be able to dispose of that "tangible good" in any manner as I see fit as the owner of that good.
I choose shoving it up the RIAA's arse.

I think that sat nav does make that sort of error more likely. People are unlikely to "just set off" without some idea of were they are going.

Fair enough, refer to it as area damaged in the 911 attacks then.

I know many CS graduates who have thought that the most interesting stuff to play with is in the pocket.

I can't help wondering if Steve Ballmer gets inundated by suppliers of office chairs.

There are "high speed SD cards" that some camcorders need
That will go down fantastically well with Oracle's female employees I suspect.
Especially this one.
I can just imagine her going down .....

How about now?
ACTA Text Leaks
Surely not. That would be infringing their copyright.
Is it just because I'm a nerd that I think a thin netbook with a proper keyboard would be more useful and just as portable?
Can Nicola Tesla claim prior art?
