This is off-topic, but apparently you never dug Mac OS X keyboard preferences. Mac OS X is much much more keyboard friendly then any Windows ever was (probably with exception of Win 3.x which still tried to follow the aforementioned UI guidelines).
That was actually surprising to myself - when I first started with Mac OS X 10.3
I'm actually a Linux user, though I do remember Windows being pretty annoying when it came to keyboard navigation. I will say that one of the things I love about the mac is spotlight, I wish I could find something like it.
Ah, thanks for the information! It hadn't even occurred to me that something like this would be configurable. Is there a reason it's disabled by default? It seems the only people who wouldn't want it enabled would be those who don't use keyboard shortcuts, and it wouldn't impact them in any case.
One thing that's always bothered my about OS X is that the user interface is often not keyboard-friendly. In Firefox, for example, keyboard form navigation is broken: someone decided that it would be a good idea for tab to skip checkboxes, radio buttons, drop-downs. . . and so you have to move back to the mouse just to move to the next form element. . .
A copyright owner doesn't have the right to issue terms of use, at least not in the US. The only thing you, as a copyright holder, can do is to keep me from making and distributing copies.
Such as the copy you make in installing it to your computer? Copyright law is strange. . .
Larger market share means more chance of official support from hardware manufacturers and game developers. That's pretty compelling from my point of view.

Because they want Chrome to be fast. While python is fast for a scripting language, it is not up to the task of delivering the fastest browser known to man.
To be fair, if you're using native libraries for rendering and UI, it's not likely to make a huge difference what language you're using; for the most part you're not lifting the heavy weight.

But, unlike using the same password on multiple sites, none of the client sites actually know your password!
Simply using the same password on foo.com and bar.com means I have to trust foo.com not to impersonate me at bar.com and vice versa. With OpenId, neither of them can abuse this since they still cannot authenticate as me.
If your OpenId provider has a session cookie with you, then you don't even need to put in the password, just hit 'OK' to authorize the requesting site. After the first time, you don't even need to do that.
For example, if StackOverflow used a regular login system, I'd need to put in my username and password every time I want to log in. With OpenId, I just put in my OpenId and am automatically logged in!
The [GPL] license has nothing to do with users at all. It's not an EULA, it's a copyright license.
Users make copies too.
It allows developers to make copies of the source code, under certain conditions, and it restricts the times when that's allowed. That's not freedom, that's "digital rights management" in its worst sense.
It isn't. DRM artificially removes rights that users had beforehand, such as the rights given under fair use laws. The GPL, as a copyright license, provides the developers and users with certain rights, it doesn't remove any. That it provides fewer rights than, say, the BSD license, does not make it DRM.

After Googling for 0.5s - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1343 and also google for "Full Keyboard Access".

In this case I guess it's more dangerous because people are used to having a longer yellow light, so it turns red before they expect it to.
I wonder whether it would still be more dangerous if they made every yellow light shorter. Would people actually start to stop for them?
Cool, didn't know that. Thanks for correcting me!
I wonder if Canada has a similar exception. =)

Oh no. Is my computer broadcasting an IP address again?
Seriously, that's all the personally identifying info it should be sending out.
At the very least, you also have information on what content they are downloading.
The administration could announce Kundra's appointment as soon as Thursday.
I'd better get ready to find out then!
You're responding to things I never said.
I was disagreeing with the GP's statement: "We don't need the desktop."

Spam is like XML, if it doesn't solve the problem, use more.
Well, that's probably why his version didn't make the summary.
I found that it was too pedantic to be informative, but just pedantic enough to be funny.
It's sillier if you look at the before and after:

Posting because I missed and hit "informative" instead of "funny". Bad moderator!
Wow, 7000 dollars for 4 m of cable! I think I will start my own Super Super HiFi equipment company!
Looking at the picture, I think you're paying for the pear.

Fixed that for you. Remember, URLs are case sensitive!
Forget Batman! What would Yagami Light do?
He would probably patch and take over the botnet for his own purposes.

Anyone else read that as "Girl Adoption Soaring; Are There Good Migration Strategies?"?

And to think that people don't believe in UFOs!
I would assume that would be turned off for non-local applications. . .

It lets you do fun stuff like this: atstream.henk.ca.
Not really useful though. =)
