Amen. I cannot even recall an occasion when Flash has crashed.

I must say, my Vista machine with an i7 and 6gb of RAM has never truly crashed. People piss and moan while I couldn't ask for more. There are over 30 tabs open on this browser instance, to the point where the tabs on the top show not even the favicon. On my second/minimized instance of Chrome, I have over 20 tabs, but at least the favicons are displayed. This includes multiple tabs of Pac-Man on level 5-15, and multiple Youtubes. My taskbar has so many applications minimized on it that it has switched from 1 column to 2 columns and I can no longer read the titles of anything I have open (I go mostly by memory/quick trial and error to find what I need when it gets to this point). I have 1 IE, 3 other Firefox windows, Limewire/MediaMonkey, 6 notepads, 3 OpenOffice Writers, my AV, Ventrilo, etc. I have VC#.Net IDE opened, along with BitPim (to fix a cellphone). My computer only costed $2,300 and still has a full warranty. So if anything goes wrong, I'll just send its ass in. RAM = 73% full, CPU = 4% (considering all of the above) while just reading.

People complain about Flash, Windows, etc, because they are attempting to fit ten pounds of shit in a five pound bag.

If only people would be disciplined enough to make/save and spend $2,000 on a high-quality machine, they wouldn't have so much to complain about. Vista is an incredible operating system for me, and runs so beautifully it is not funny. I got clocks, Youtube, Wikipedia, RAM/CPU monitors, calculator, notepad widget, and todo list on my Vista sidebar and they have ALWAYS worked FLAWLESSLY. Nearly everything on this machine has worked flawlessly.

Why post as AC? I would've given mod points...

Dear Google,
Go with this idea. Please.

Amen. I use 1900x1200 resolution and have my taskbar on the left (best thing I ever did) and my Vista Sidebar on the right (also a great feature). It still affords me more than enough space to browse/work comfortably. I would love to see an option to move the Chrome tabs to the left-hand side.

Pretty sad, but I actually just bought ~$340 worth of clothing from this site. Never bought a knock-off, so I loaded up on some Gucci shirts and a pair of jeans.

Are we going to start seeing your shameless self-promotion on every story now?

Reconciliation is only to be used for budget allocation/modification. (Gotta love the way the 90's GOP majority shoved through tax cuts and how the current Dems shoved through the Health Care Reform, hey it has SOMETHING to do with the budget.. right? right?)

You can tell that you apparently didn't learn English in the US school system or all those dumb rules would've been taught to you. Double consonants, vowel-consonant cases, etc. Eugene Delacroix would be pronounced "Yoo-Jeen Deh-Lah-Cwah" ... it's somewhat simple if you were raised with it.

So far nearly everyone who has replied to this post has made me sick. Absolutely ridiculous that people are so stressed out and uncomfortable over writing something.

Do you believe that 40 years from now the advances you refer to will not have manifested in products? We are living in a time of incredible technological advancement, and you should be thankful that you are witnessing thousands of "tiny steps." By your logic, because the product is not available RITE NOWZ, it never will be. Patience is a virtue, virtue is a grace. Grace is a little girl who didn't wash her face.

The filibuster is the biggest problem of the American legislative system: 51 votes to pass a bill, 41 votes to block a bill.

You're right, he does place higher value on the mother than the fetus; however, second to the mother, the fetus takes highest value. Therefore, if the mother (top priority) is not at risk, the fetus (next highest priority) should be protected and given the right to live. His argument is perfectly rational, you are wrong.

I actually think this is an important development for Iran and a significant threat to their local opponents. These things can be created in quantity, and probably quite cheaply: a 500 pound bomb being dropped unexpectedly from 600+ miles away? Then it simply flies back to base and grabs another bomb - and radar is important for devices flying high in the sky, but not so much for a small drone dipping between treetops over a well-picked flight path.

Holy shit...

Thanks for the laugh on this somber morning.

Not trying to be devil's advocate, but really, touchscreens vary based on quality. My Motorola Droid has INCREDIBLE touch functionality, to the point where it feels absolutely natural. It feels as natural and smooth as it could.
