I know you are being funny. But their is just so much FUD from people who haven't tried Gentoo in years. Here is how you do it:
1) Download the latest LiveCD 2) Click on the GTK+ based Install button (if you mess it up, you will end up clicking CLI based. Good if you can go, if not, you WILL click on the other one: GTK+ based Install button) 3) Follow the instructions with sane defaults already setup (Yeah! CPUTYPE already setup)
If you are having trouble deciding if your CPU is x86 is or not, you ARE using x86. My dumbest friends know it if they have x86_64 that it is 64.
If you have problems, head off to Gentoo's documentation. I personally use opensuse these days at work, but when I have problem I head off to Gentoo forums, read Gentoo-wiki etc. They are the best out there!
So there you go. At the end, Gentoo is for those who are interested in it. It will not bring world peace, nor it will magically edit your configration files. It is for those who want to tweak. I got into it because I wanted to play Quake3A on linux, so that I can say good-bye to my Windows installation. For that I needed Unichrome drivers for my crappy video card, for that I needed to compile X... and I am more than happy that I chose Gentoo.
On windows, well behaved programs go in the aptly named "Program Files"
A little correction to this. If you are working with localized Windows installation, well behaved programs will go to "Programme", and not-so-well-behaved programs will go to "Program Files".
I once had this big problem when I was working on a German Windows installation... Winamp going to right place while its plugins going to wrong ones.

Anti-phishing is still an emerging technology even for big players like Microsoft, Opera, (and Google). To incorporate it in Firefox will need rigourous testing and active development. I don't think it will feasible to incorporate it as extension.
Even if gets implemented as extension, its main development will be in Firefox repository, so it actually doesn't matter much
Looking at the prizes, it seems the stress has been laid on 'showing' what fancies Firefox extension mechanism can bring.
Even then I think it is better for Firefox on marketing scale. Because the general public goes for fancyful things you can do with the boring experience of browser, than actually thinking of standard compliamce or performance.
... that said, I suspect this will can be used to affect mass opinions, or to present influencive issues of history.
As already pointed out, the a public property should be in public hands. And history is obviously different from railways, for example.

I totally agree with you. It happens. It happens to everybody. It happens with time, some times frequently, other times it takes so long, a really long time, and one thinks, when will I return to my normal work. But then, it happens, and you find yourself totally renewed and filled with energy. Its just, we don't like it initially. I don't know why.
Sorry but I am not sure you understood what I wanted to say:)
What I am asking is not that everyone should know the truth (or be 100% logical and infallible). What I am asking is, if you want to learn rocket science, you need to get it right!
That is the whole point. If you want to know how life evolves, or whether it does or not, you need to get it right.
The issue is not whether everyone should know the correct thing, its just that don't present unscientific ideas as equally genuine theories.
Yes I know science is not ultimate either, and I do believe in philosophy that everything is relative. So one can argue: 'what if this all proves to be wrong?' or 'what if ID is is the real theory?'
So what? For the time being, this is how society works! You need to give preference to something. All I am asking is to give preference to right thing.
Once again, people are not stupid because they don't know evolution. They are stupid if they think it is all BS.
Don't you think it'd be equally important for people to realize that the clocks they use to make daily life possible aren't really perfect for synchronization and time isn't really what we intuitively believe it is?
You chose a very bad example to present your point. I will show you how.
'Clock are synchronised' is based on common sense. That is why if some one says something stupid, we call it stupid even though he or she knows that clocks are synshronised. Very much like we all know that apple will fall down.
People need to know that clocks are synchronised for all practical pusposes. People do NOT NEED to know that apple falls down due to gravity. People do NOT NEED to know how life began and biological systems work.
People learn gravity because they get interested. That is how it all began: curiosity. People are curious. So we teach them gravity. If you are interested to know how life began, you should be taught then. I mean, that is your right! Right to know! And then, when you learn gravity, you are told that this is not perfect, and their exists special theory of relatibity. If you are more interested, you should learn it. The right to know DOES mean your right to know the right thing. Those who learn newtonian physics in their school don't have a choice to say that all the rest they didn't learn in college is BS.
ID and Creationist theories began because people were curious. I don't know how its failure proves that God doesn't exist. And by the way, if you think people doesn't need to know all this (complexity) and they should be taught junk to make their life simple, it is YOU who think they are stupid
Is there a way in Gaim? In upcoming version?
