Isn't the US still number one polluter or did China overtake recently? Either way the per capita pollution is still worse in the states by a hefty margin. Talk about being hypocritical.
Eh the problem with the solidified conservative base is not one with voting for the left. It is the fault of democracy being a poor system in a country so blissfully ignorant of reality. You will never NEVER get a totally sane president while over half the population is so dumb as to vote for bush a second time. But atleast you get the lesser evil which is better than the NOTHING you get throwing your vote away. There will always be a moron running for office, the problem is the morons that vote for him. Atleast they are organized and vote together. The people with shreds of education and sanity get stuck infighting or throwing away their votes.
Don't throw away your vote. If you vote for the lesser evil every time within 5-6elections you won't be voting in evil anymore. Think of it this way, if McCain gets voted in next yer the dems will have to bring out a more right wing crazy racist conservative white guy to compete. If Obama gets in then the republicans need to do something more liberal to compete. After 5-6 elections things will get somewhere. Compared to throwing away your vote which does no good at all. I'm not saying either side is good just that i'd rather be stuck with Obama than McCain and wait it out for real changes.
That's ALL the power they have is it? You obviously don't know about mall ninjas, how would they deal with the headbangers?

Go to Italy. There are tons of ruins and ancient walls Bocchignano being fairly minor. When you goto important places like rome and venice you'll notice that most of it is graffitied. Some wall being legoed is the least of italy's problems when the Colosseum is being defaced regularly.
You can't to my knowledge use vertical tabs in FF . There are alot of UI options in about:config in FF most arent options you can normally get to since they frighten and confuse regular users, heavy users are normally comfotrable with a DB interface.
However adblockplus is better than the ability to hide ads manually (though it gives you that option) I only see an ad once every few months. Firefox does allow you to add any search engine you please. Custom? You can actually modify the search engine itself with greasemonkey:p.
Whats not dynamic enough in FF? You can set keybindings again with an addon. And you can save/manage sessions as a bookmark.... Fit page to width is a nice feature that FF lacks i'll check out how opera does that later. I'll try to find the rest as well. TY for showing me some more possibilities FF is missing.
What features is it lacking? And i'm not entirely sure whats wrong with the tab system. If you don't like the close button you can move it to the end so it wont move goto about:config and change browser.tabs.closebutton and change it to 3.
Any OS with hibernate should be quick enough. I doubt systems vary too much between them. Anything that uses minimal ram and hance has less to load on boot. Just go with whatever OS suits you best.
Quality. It is hard to maintain a youtube size server infact bigger. Release the videos in higher quality put in adds and it would blow competition out of the water. No free site can afford to do that for any extended period.
Its the same as AOL commercials or windows commercials that dont advertise their product. They advertise computers and the internet. Get AOL then you can search the web and download pictures!
"They may even be able to pay for parking by cellphone, and add to the parking meter from their phones without returning to the car."
Why wouldnt they just charge by the minute, leave your car there for days if you want. If you can pay by cellphone i'm sure they could use a billing system like phones. Not to mention doing nothing is more convenient than phoning the parking lot.
On my telus i can use msn for free too *shock*. my phone must be as good as an iphone. and so are all phones with internet access and the ability to install programs. *gasp* Silly submitter ~_~
I just wish it were more neutral and disconnected. I think tying a gaming convention to a webcomic in the end will be a bad idea. Them bitching about a game in the comic could cost them thousands which doesnt make for good comic writing. And when the comic eventually fails then so too shall the convention. We need something more like AnimeNorth.... or many of the other anime conventions, none of them are linked in this way and work out fine...
Don't go on the internet if you are that worried. Your data as shocking as this may sound is all traveling through your ISP unencrypted! And I think the telcos might be a bit more likely to divulge information than Google. Given that well the telcos have done it in past, its being made legal now for them to do so in future making it more likely and Google has refused the governments demands in past. So.... Why are people so worried about Google selling them out? I honestly don't understand.

Oh nice, I can hardly wait. All the christians dissapear? I wonder how many weeks it'll take for war/crime to halve. Itd still be better if it took all the religious though. And to make this post not entirely flamebait let me point out that pretty much half the wars in the last 3000years were caused by christianity. And christianity correlates strongly to poor morals. http://www.smh.com.au/news/opinion/correlation-of-christian-ethics-social-ills-knocks-advocates-fromknees-to-backside/2005/10/03/1128191653994.html

SHHH! if we cant convince rich idiots to buy these things en masse we dont have to wait as long before they are useful.
lol only on /. can you get flamed for not understanding crypto fully.
I search for incredibly large primes with the lights out, i feel it sets the mood.
not quite so useful this high up. Pick medium size 10-20000digit primes and you'll be safe. 10million digits is just a waste of processing power.

i already copywrote patent trolling on /. a few months ago. sorry.

also i just grabbed any tests i could find
FF loads pages faster than opera or IE. And it doesnt have a memory leak. Some addons might i dont know. Take this, I leave my computer on for several months at a time including FF open. I often use multiple windows (currently have 2FF windows up) and always a decent number of tabs (8 and 4). This computer has 256MB of ram and has never brought the system to its knees. Also I use 6 addons. If there were a memory leak i'd have noticed. That and a nice variety of tests, in speed and ram usage have shown FF to beat Opera and IE (last i checked, opera has likely improved lately to keep up). Please don't slander without showing your information.

They weren't actually arguing that, they just found it funny.....

Close, it charges in 3.5hrs and lasts around 4.5. You might have been thinking of an older version.
