I'm running OSX with XP on parallels for some mandatory windows apps. Since my web browsing is primarily done on OSX, I figured I'd try FF3 on XP to try it out.
Within a couple of days, I had wanted to find a couple sites I had visited a few days earlier in each browser. In FF3, the interface is excellent, allowing you to search in many ways and organizing the presentation in a very user-friendly manner. In FF2, the history is literally just a list and a search box.
I'm not sure if the OS has anything to do with the difference, but I find that history feature to be a killer function. (Still to lazy to upgrade on OSX, though)
And how much has Bush spent on his initiatives for Africa, like AIDS reduction?
Isn't that the same funding that Bush offered to Brazil, but they turned it down because it was too restrictive (i.e. strict restrictions on generic AIDS medication, condom programs, etc.)?
If my high school (population ~1000) could have enough Lego enthusiasts to assemble a Lego club (specifically, a Lego robotics club), it doesn't surprise me in the least that a densely-populated, metropolitan city the size of Hong Kong might be able to cobble one together.
NOT "artists should be allowed to take photographs in public"; NOT "professional photographers should be allowed to take photographs in public"; NOT "journalists should be allowed to take photographs in public";
Everybody should be allowed to take photographs in public.
Arguing against a total ban on public photography with a defense that certain people would not be able to do a certain thing just opens the door for a total ban on public photography--with an exception for those certain people doing that certain thing.
Either that or the Republicans can take a joke. I'm pretty sure they knew exactly the type of material Colbert would go for.
The audience reaction (or lack thereof) and the other interviews about Colbert's correspondence dinner suggest to me that neither of these was the case.
I was trying to find the answer to this on Wikipedia a while back to no avail: Where do the numbers (174th, someone mentioned 432nd, etc.) come from? How are they picked? What do they represent?
That is correct only insofar as coal is burned in power plants and oil is burned in cars.
I believe much of the coal in China (though perhaps not in urban areas) is coal cakes burned in households for heat and cooking. As for gasoline, there are a lot of cheap engines like on lawnmowers and gas scooters which don't burn nearly as efficiently as a modern automobile.
(I haven't a clue about the relative prevalence of these technologies. The dirty ones may be much less common than the cleaner ones, or maybe not. In developing countries, I'd expect them to relatively much more prevalent.)
I would love a Gmail button that sends a "Delivery Status Notification (failure)" message to the sender of certain messages. Particularly messages from people who know me well and who should be smart enough to know not to send work e-mails to my home address, etc.

Well if Diebold didn't break the elections in the first place, the tech-savvy volunteers wouldn't have to fix them!

I was ambivalent too, until I used the history.

Yeah, but who wants to go for a shit to the constant sound of "Clean yes, germs no"?

Heh, reading those marketing features gives me an idea: put a red toilet and a blue toilet in each one and call it a "high-tech voting machine".

I'm sorry, but I don't understand your "power" metaphor. Could you explain this problem in terms of how it really works with tubes?

At least they didn't invite Borat, though.

I thought the date was playing on the 8-9-10 pattern in 2008-sept-10, sorta like how the Beijing Olympics are starting on 8/8/8.
