- Cookie permissions. In Firefox I use Cookie Button to whitelist ones that I want and have the rest deleted when I close the browser. There is nothing like that for Chrome. There are similar looking extensions but they maintain their own whitelists instead of integrating with the built in one.
Why do you need an extension for this? Did they remove the spot in the options/preferences to configure this behaviour? All you need for the automatic deletion is to accept cookies for the current session by default. The whitelist is, as you say, built-in.
What batteries would you recommend? A friend tried several third-party ones and none of them held their charge for as long as advertised. In fact, the longer it should last, the less it did.
If it wasn't for piracy the PSP wouldn't have sold.
That's wrong, at least as far as the portable's second life is concerned. Retailers started pushing it in Japan because it had less piracy than the DS. Then came titles like God of War, Monster Hunter, Phantasy Star Portable and others that revitalised it.
So the core of your argument is that Microsoft made the Windows API object-oriented through.NET. Microsoft could just as well have 'cleaned up' the API with C++ and it would be just as awesome from that point of view, if not more so.
I don't like managed code because relying on a garbage collector to manage memory use inevitably leads to wasteful use of memory and 'random' slowdowns when it sweeps in. Programmers know how much memory is used and when, so they should be in control.
Sometimes it's easier to find a third-party download site than the author's site. Finding older versions is sometimes easier on the third-party download site too.
But hosting on "rapidshare/megaupload/similar site" makes it a pain for the user to download the software ("wait 60 seconds before you can download at a low speed!"), so it's not a good alternative.
Mozilla paved the way for alternative browsers, pushing websites away from IE-only design
While it did push websites away from IE-only design, it didn't pave the way for alternative web browsers. What happened was that websites got pushed to IE and Firefox-only designs. Then Chrome came along and the clueless designers had to add Chrome to their list of supported web browsers.
The point is that there's still a long way to go before alternative web browser discrimination ends.
Who defines what is porn? Two persons on opposite sides of the planet will have very different opinions on that. That's why there's fear of censorship. It opens the way for a law to have everything deemed pornographic to be moved under the.xxx TLD, which means that the website might as well not exist from the point of view of many networks.
how many times have you read here on Slashdot some rants about how stupid people are because they don't know everything about computers
Way to misrepresent the argument. The problem is that people seem to lose common sense as soon as they sit down in front of a computer because they think it's magic, and they refuse to learn how to work with it.
There are several explanations for the country not having a proper federal government yet, but the root cause of the political unrest of the past four years or so is a voting district called Brussel-Halle-Vilvoorde (often abbreviated to BHV).
The current voting system in Belgium consists of the Flemish being able to vote for Flemish politicians, and Walloons being able to vote for Walloon politicians. An exception is made for Brussels, as it has the special status of being a bilingual district. Furthermore, because a significant amount of people in the neighbouring towns speak French, their voting district is merged with Brussels. This was a temporal concession made more than 40 years ago to give the French speakers time to adapt.
The problem is that no expiration date was set and the Flemish politicians think it has been going on for long enough. It has also been deemed unconstitutional by the constitutional court as the current system is unfair to Flemish citizens not living in the BHV voting district. So they want to split it, but the Walloon politicians have been refusing to cooperate. Their cooperation is needed because no community in Belgium can single-handedly decide something that affects another one.
Right now the political parties have reached an agreement to split BHV, but the remaining political parties that will form the actual federal government are still talking about the federal budget.
Ultimately, this is a political issue. The two cultures themselves get along fine most of the time.
I hope this clears things up. I tried to not be too detailed and may have simplified a couple things in the process.
As soon as your computer is infected, you've lost. No amount of local security can change that.
Windows + Internet = insecure.
No, Windows + Internet + compromisable network services or IE = insecure. Using Windows to browse the web using TCP/IP and an alternative web browser is as good as secure.

Maybe he shouldn't have brought up the fact that he gets drunk regularly, then.
Sounds like someone who got in bed with Ballmer and would be the perfect partner.

Stop getting drunk. Your brain cells will thank you.

You would be right if Linux was the only open-source kernel out there. But it isn't.
I was with you until this. This is a stupid idea because managed code sucks.
You're saying that as if it's enabled by default. It isn't, as far as I know.
Where is the open-source Windows version of the JPEG recovery software I've been looking for weeks back?

That'd be pointless as we already have SeaMonkey for that.

The obsession with high quality graphics is a large part of what's wrong these days on both platforms. Stop kidding yourself.
Then you shouldn't care about console ports or console gaming dying at all. Keep playing your PC games and stop whining.
You fail at spelling 'canon'.
Story time! Story time!
The used store is a convenient place where people can sell their games so they can buy other, possibly new ones.

Belgium hasn't gone bust, so I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.
