If you do change banks because they don't support your favorite browser, make sure you keep it a secret if you want to keep your friends. That said, I won't trust any bank that tells me IE6 is a secure browser, and Opera is not.
As for the real problem: a browser is not a banking platform, never was, and never will be good enough. How many potential security problems are there in a typical browser that would be completely eliminated with a simple native application?
s/Bittorrent/every fucking application that The Authorities didn't approve/
The only system I can imagine where this might work, is if the creator of the software was the only one with the power to blacklist a version of it, and nobody for Free Software. And of course they can only blacklist something if an upgrade is available for free.
Now for the fun part: how do you decide whether you're talking to a good version, a bad one, or a really bad one saying it's good?
However, room temperature is not a uniformly defined scientific term as opposed to Standard Temperature and Pressure, or STP, which has several, slightly different definitions.
Specifically, it's taught as 18 degrees Celsius in Hungary, and even the page for STP lists 10+ different sets of conditions, all of which are standard somewhere. Scientific calculations cannot just say "room temperature" and be done with it.
If you're surfing with no-script, you're missing 75% of the Internet.
Actually, it's more like 95%. However, you did completely miss the point. Turning off Noscript for a site you choose to bless takes two mouse clicks and a reload.
You're not missing out on what you want to see. You're missing out on all the other random shit you couldn't care less about.
The main problem I see with web browsers today, is that they completely and utterly ignore every single user interface design convention they can find.
With Chrome reinventing window layout, Firefox reinventing standard dialog layout, and Opera reinventing UI themes, where do we take refuge? Hell, even IE doesn't have menus by default anymore.
That said, Firefox has Adblock, and Adblock has hufilter, so I'm not switching anytime soon.
That sequence *is* actually common sense, but for everyone independently: the lawyer wants billable work, the manager wants to get ahead by impressing their higher-ups, and Smith isn't really getting paid enough to object strongly.
Extrapolate to millions of people and you get Corporate America.
Google is using public resources to gather data. It's what they do.
If you broadcast an SSID to an unencrypted network, it's a public resource, plain and simple. Just because you were too stupid or lazy to do something about it doesn't mean Google's at fault here.
What next, whine because they spider your web page?
North Korea is actually in a pretty good place to make something happen, if you think about it. At a minimum they don't have to maintain all those C and COBOL systems.
Thank you so much. I'm sick and tired of every fucking bug labeled as "zero-day". Especially considering the fact that the bug itself may has been around for years.
Think for a minute about what the phrase "speech against the government" could mean in China. Is saying "The Yang-tse river is so polluted!" considered speech against the Chinese government? Is complaining about your working conditions okay? Is criticizing the United States' copyright laws okay when your government has pledged time and time again to combat piracy?
You know that well enough by the time you get out of grade school.
In Canada, are you afraid of the government disliking you for some reason and then reviewing your internet usage and history to find something to prosecute you under?
s/government/copyright organizations/ Yes.
There is no substantial difference between China and the US, except for the theatrics. Just to really earn my Troll mod, who was the last President who was neither Republican, nor Democrat? Who gets to choose the candidates for those parties? And most importantly, who were the last two candidates who received all their campaign contributions from *entirely* different sets of corporations?

Some people do change banks, just not enough.

well? you think "sex" means sex in other languages?
Actually, it does in most languages. And where it doesn't, people do understand it.
Quoting your wiki:
However, room temperature is not a uniformly defined scientific term as opposed to Standard Temperature and Pressure, or STP, which has several, slightly different definitions.
Specifically, it's taught as 18 degrees Celsius in Hungary, and even the page for STP lists 10+ different sets of conditions, all of which are standard somewhere. Scientific calculations cannot just say "room temperature" and be done with it.
larger programs to fail too frequently
We showed him right, huh?
Who knows what "room temperature" will be in 100 years... I mean, did they take global warming into account?
If the average temperature fries electronics any time soon, we'll have bigger problems than data retention.
Btw, room temperature means "comfortable for human beings".
How exactly are they going to turn off the internet? Wasn't it designed specifically to resist such attempts?
And even if they succeed, can the economy possibly survive such a move?

Skype already provides a working Linux client here.
For some definitions of "working", of course. Last time I tried to use it (Gentoo amd64), I ended up with an x86 Ubuntu inside VMware.
CFD is just too complex for high school students
Oh come on. These students have already learned natural language processing, is that not complex?
Perhaps it's the learning method that counts, not the subject.

Too bad I use Adblock.
If people can run arbitrary code on them they can also run pirated games and that means the manufacturers make a loss.
No, that means a happy consumer. Unless of course they downloaded the console as well.

there is a fairly noticeable performance hit by doing so.
Moore's law + decades > overhead. That said, wine is far from perfect.
Where 'unstable' of course is defined as 'not controlled by our banks'...

I would posit that the difference in your Canada vs China comparison is that the laws are better defined for you than they are a Chinese citizen.
Are they now?

To put that number in context: There are currently 8 countries on Earth with a GDP higher than that.
The RIAA claims that if it wasn't for those meddling Limewire, they'd made more money than the entire population and industry of Canada in a year.
That's ~$7.5M.
The other one trillion four hundred ninety-nine billion nine hundred ninety-two million five hundred thousand is for lawyer's fees.
