When I used to play WoW, I used many addons that made up for Blizzard's shortcomings in the UI. If the authors want to charge for these addons Blizzard should have absolutely no say in the matter. The developers are improving Blizzard's product to a more playable state, Blizzard should be paying them.
Wouldn't it be extremely expensive to send large quantities of water into orbit (also, our water supply is limited we can't be throwing it into space!)?
I have tried swiftfox but not noticed much difference, but I haven't tried it recently. I did notice that changing my GTK engine was a big performance boost, I'm using the 'Calla' theme now and it seems very fast.
JS *is* a big deal, at least for me. I turn javascript off unless I need it because it causes annoying lag issues, especially on badly coded pages (not to mention its used way too much for doing silly little performce-eating things). For me on linux using firefox, I find gmail lags all to hell, it takes 1-2s to tab switch away from it. I switch to HTML mode sometimes because it gets on my nerves. This is on a core2duo 2.4ghz with 2GB of RAM. JS can really get out of hand, I'm looking forward to FF 3.1 with tracemonkey.
I know. I'm just thinking in terms of the botnet spread "factor", I think that will go down as more people start using firefox/more secure browsers, and that market share will go up when Microsoft stops bundling IE. Of course they are just going to get the OEMs to do it for them, maybe some OEMs will package Firefox, who knows.
...when Microsoft stops bundling IE with Windows (depending on what happens with that anti-trust case in the EU). Does anyone know if that would also affect NA?
Ok, I'm not sure how that would fix it though, I mean if you make them into scripts then wouldn't that be an even easier way to attack? Unless you mean that they are always displayed to the user until they set the +x themselves? I'm sure I'm missing the point here though, its early (and no coffee).
Ah, I see. I suppose another solution could be warning the user the first time they run a shortcut that uses perl/python/ruby/php/whatever scripting language. Maybe pop up a window displaying the parameters even they are longer than X characters.
This whole problem could be avoided by using a reverse ssh tunnel!
In all seriousness though, when I use linux I prefer to use some lightweight WM so I am not affected by this.desktop thing. Why do shortcuts need to have the ability to run code?

I would have been surprised if it wasn't complex, its a space station

Can you give me a reason why it matters?
But we get to say its below zero outside, which usually means its time to put on a sweater instead of a tshirt.
I put my computer in the demilitarized zone.
...is good journalism. Good job BBC, the masses need to know about NOT USING IE6 TO SURF THE WEB.
It would be a voice synth or something, that was really high quality. I was disapointed.

Its like saying you beat the kid with a fake leg at sprinting, or beating the a preschooler at a spelling bee.
Thanks, got "the package". *wink*
Bill doesn't hang around the office much actually nowadays.

Not many appreciate that show's true awesomeness.
Ah. Gotcha.

No kidding. I mean I've watched 21 and that episode of Hustle...those casino folks don't joke around!

I guess my hopes of starting a new meme have been dashed...alas.

Use a reverse ssh tunnel!
They must have used a reverse ssh tunnel!
