Don't forget Canada and New Zealand. The leaked ACTA docs show that they were standing up for rights and good law from the beginning. The EU was going along with the US before it became public.
As a Canadian, I can tell you that, Michael Geist's blog notwithstanding, nobody I talked with ever heard of ACTA. The media is silent, the people are ignorant, the politicians are apathetic.
That being said, I leave Firefox open for days, if not weeks. I run tons of tabs, Greasemonkey scripts, extensions, etc. I haven't seen memory leaks since the Firefox 2.0 days.
I have to restart FF every couple of days (and sometimes several times a day) because memory usage goes off the scale.
When I start it, with 25-30 tabs open from the last session, it uses 300-400 MB. After I use it for a while -- opening and closing new tabs, downloading stuff, etc. -- its memory usage begins to grow until it reaches about 1.5GB, at which point FF hangs hard and needs to be killed.
Sometimes I get the memory usage growth even when not actively using FF, just by leaving it open for the night.
I suspect that the culprit is a plug-in, an add-on, a GM script or a combination of several of them, but I'm having trouble isolating the case because some of the stuff I do with FF requires certain add-ons/scripts so turning them off will not constitute a clean experiment (for example, downloading images from WebShots).
I'd like to see your list of add-ons (Nightly Tester Tools can generate it) and GM scripts to help rule things out.
1. Write a program to generate all possible sequences of N notes (*) that sound pleasing to the ear. 2. Write them down (automatic copyright) 3. Sue everybody that creates a "new" song 4. Sit back and enjoy the fireworks.
(*) I seem to remember there was a court ruling for N as low as 4 but I may be mistaken.
Hmm, sounds like what happened in the Soviet Union.
The Soviet Union was, like all countries, an artificial construct. It split into several smaller constructs and most of the people who had it good in the SU, still have it good in Russia, etc.
It is similar to corporations that merge, split and re-form with the same people in charge.
I know that/. is US-centric and all that, but it still a pain to constantly miss the obscure cultural references.
I had to look it up: Poindexter is an American surname descended from the Poingdestre family of Jersey. In its original form, the name means 'right fist'.
Right fist, eh? Was that a politically correct way of calling him a wanker?
but their [guns] purposes (to intimidate, coerce, wound, or kill)...
or to protect.
My chances of being assaulted by a person twice my size (and with much more experience in street fights) get perceptibly lower if they know that I carry a weapon.
Where are you getting all this from? I'm a feminist and I certainly don't think any of those things are 'degrading women'.
Sounds like the subtle difference between the "women should be treated no worse than men" feminists and the "males are dirty chauvinistic pigs" feminists.
When extremists (of all kinds, shapes or colours) hijack a legitimate movement, it's people like yourself who are left feeling as translation errors.
First definitions from my favourite online dictionary: liberal - favorable to progress or reform, as in political or religious affairs. conservative - disposed to preserve existing conditions, institutions, etc., or to restore traditional ones, and to limit change.
My understanding wasn't that the this application transmitted sounds - only still pictures.
There are some 4/. stories about the issue, pointing to various articles, so I don't remember the exact source but it was possible to monitor sound as well as video.
As far as splitting a sentence between the subject and the body of the post, some people like it, some people think it lacks style
It makes it harder to follow, especially when one reads a whole page of posts, and harder to quote when replying. Sort of like top-posting on Usenet.
Mind you, some things have changed since then (in particular, the point system to determine eligibility was revamped). However, everything you need to know is available online

Thank you EU.
Are there tools that can point out which add-ons allocated the memory?

Only after it gets digested.
Actually, broadcasting your SSID can stop (some) hackers. Especially if you choose one like "NSA Honeypot".
The Netherlands comes to mind. Except slaves, of course, since slavery is not a victimless crime.
You're an asshole. Whatever happened to Love Thy Neighbor?
May I suggest an alternative guideline:
Ensure the survival and the well-being of the human race by any and all means possible.
To the degree that if the subject of extermination ever comes up, better them then us.
Or in certain parts of Canada, a much harsher wintery execution.

If I have seen stars it is because I have stood on the toes of Chuck Norris.
A bit of a nit pick, but "the all-powerful God" is a monotheistic tenet. Baal belonged to a pantheon and therefore could not be "the all-powerful God". Moreover, biblical mentions of Baal usually refer to any number of local spirit-deities worshiped as cult images, a.k.a false gods.

Please reconcile.

Not thousands and not by tanks, but things did happen.
John McClane: [covering the webcam] You think you can, uh, find a track where he is?
Thomas Gabriel: Detective, covering the camera with your hand does not turn off the microphone.
By the way, splitting a sentence between the subject ant the text is rude.
I tried but it didn't fit in the slot.

I think lugers would probably smash their legs more often than their heads. Skeletoners, on the other hand...
