Oh, comfortable masks most certainly exist. They tend to be full enclosure masks though, in order to be supported by structures other than the bridge of your nose. As a result, they're hideously expensive compared to half-masks.

Opera 15 (now 19) isn't FireFox, it's Chrome.

The one fortunate thing is they're building back into Chrome what they lost when they stopped developing Presto. It's slow, but it's happening. I still miss things like Ctrl-Z re-opening closed windows, but they've regained a lot of the ground they lost in the changeover.

I still really miss per-site options, which haven't made it back into Chrome-based Opera.

To cops in the US, there's no such things as "law abiding citizens." There are two classes of people: cops, and potential criminals.

It can even include those above you in the chain of command. Anyone below the highest person in the chain of command whose backing you have is also a potential criminal target.

They usually stop trying to push the same thing when it fails once though. That's what differentiates MS from many other companies.

And this is the sort of thing that leads to the generalization of the Slashdot membership being composed almost entirely of virgins, or at least those who are not capable of sustaining a relationship with a woman that doesn't involve large cash payments.

Most of the addicts I've known do all those things. None of them are incompatible with addiction. At all.

Most things labeled "indie" only pretend to be intellectual. Most of them are just as shallow and full of shit as any big commercial product, just in a different way.

"Legislation" and "common sense" are almost always mutually exclusive terms.

Doh, that should have been $200...

Nope, but filling your hands full from your bloody nose and then covering the entire front of their $20 sports jacket in blood works wonders.

The existence of US-sponsored fascist groups in Venezuela does not, in any way, invalidate the point being made.

Your comment is irrelevant unless it is your contention that, indeed, every single person who opposes Maduro is a violent fascist.

I suggest going to Venezuela and attempting to publicly broadcast a dissenting opinion. See how long you're left to your own devices. I suspect it wouldn't be a particularly long time.

I guess that rules out calling Hitler, a democratically elected politician, a dictator.

A democratic election does not prevent the elected individual from being a dictator.

The Arab Spring clearly demonstrated why unlimited democratic power in the hands of the people is a recipe for disaster.

Democratic power only works if it is strictly limited in scope. If it is not, people tend to elect sociopaths who will confirm their biases whilst engaging in their own personal corrupt predilections.

It's also worked brilliantly for China.
