I think anything involving a new FireFox update (or downloads-to-date 'milestone') or Google beta or Microsoft press release just ramps the likelyhood of getting an article published.
Are there clear benefits for having articles accepted? Maybe some Jammy Dodgers or something. If that were the case I might start stea^H^H^H^Hwriting...
mispelled
I believe 'misspelled' (or 'mis-spelled') is the original, with 'misspelt' being accepted later (only on the basis of 'spelt' being accepted - 'misspelt' is not in the dictionary), but they both have two Ss.
Whataever
Yes, it's probably a typo, but a strange one at that (at least, judging by the QWERTY layout). I would personally argue that a typo is still a spelling mistake. Borne of ignorance or accident, it is still spelled incorrectly.
"He/She must have botched the figures at the start, requiring constant meddling and fudging to get the desired outcome."
Why so? I'm an athiest, however my mother and sister are both religious; my mother is more agnostic nowadays but my sister is still a strong Christian, and also rather scientific. They both believe in evolution, that God '...started the ball rolling', as it were. I see no problem with people believing that God injected the 'spark' that began life. That's entirely their choice, and requires no 'botched figures'.
An interesting sidenote. One of the best books I've read is 'Memnoch the Devil' by Anne Rice. It writes that God set the ball rolling, not quite knowing what would happen. It conjects that He Himself doesn't know where he came from, and that this 'experiment' may help Him understand Himself and His origins better.
You could just turn off desktop indexing in the preferences.
I don't mind it searching my emails etc, but one thing I did do was remove desktop matches from web searches.
I didn't need to reboot (though I'm using Home, I doubt there's anything in Pro that would require it).
And although it wanted me to close Opera, it did open it back up again once it had finished doing its thing (with all tabs intact - I love Opera...)
Slashdot Mirror
Strange, I ran a simple MIPS calculator on my machine at home and got the following:
IE6: 4,807,692
Opera: 4,000,000
Firefox: 3,092,784
Although Opera's result is a very round number, I doubt it would throttle the instructions.
Based on my own tests, IE does have a faster JavaScript engine, FireFox is pretty slow by comparison. Opera 8.5 is slap-dab in the middle.

Heh, in a place with an expert for everything, you can never be too careful ;)
Nice try :)
Though it's not an uncommon error...

You truncated it and and mispelled it:
"Quidquid id est, timeo Danaos et dona ferentes." 'Whataever it is, I fear the Greeks even when they are bearing gifts'
Damn, the irony is blinding.
Whenever I exert my pedantry, I always feel the need, like Santa, to check it twice...
Anything like this You can search on all kinds of extensive fields, which is rather handy. I don't know of a non-UK one though.

Oh, I don't know. In the version I tell my son, the Big Bad Wolf gets in through the chimney and eats the little piggys anyway...

Hmm. Do let me know when someone has digitised these and torrents are available...
