The general public considers all of those things to be "tanks", but militarily, most of them are armored personnel carriers or armored fighting vehicles. I think some of the heavy, turreted models would rightly be called tanks if not for their modular platforms.

I've always had the same feeling about KDE, the only way I could put it is "too shiny".

I was also under the impression that Chinese doctors are taught a lot of traditional Chinese medicine...which would presumably reduce their conventional medical training time.

I've been using Mozilla/Seamonkey since 2001. It was the best browser then, and the best now, IMO.

I never cared for Firefox, it's always been a rebranded Mozilla with a worse interface, fewer features and fewer options. This is ever more apparent as Firefox follows Chrome into the simplicity abyss. Also, version numbers - I like them to mean something.

That's one thing people overlook...the USSR had a lot less money to spend and much more territory to cover, so they prioritized quantity over quality more than the US did.

Pretty much everything you said are reasons that I use Seamonkey...all the goodness of Firefox without the interface problems.

I would add "shiny" to your "weird". KDE has always felt too shiny to me.

This is good news! I still swear by running chkdsk /f after power loss or hard reset, even with Windows 7...I've had a few cases where there was some corruption and Windows didn't give a warning about it.

Also, it's about time NTFS got upgraded. Extents, checksums, etc. are no longer new and unnecessary.

You're assuming he is building a house with a basement...

Oh hell yes. I've been cursing slashdot regularly since they ruined the pagination.

>Not to mention the scam of "street cleaning"

Yeah, I'm lucky enough to live in an area of the city with parking, but even if I don't use my car for anything, I have to move it TWICE A WEEK to avoid those tickets.

That actually makes some sense.

Fortunately, if they do, there's Status-4-Evar to bring it back. Now if only there was a way to bring back the modal search dialog....I really hate the new search bar.
