I'm not sure he would, but it's not hard for me to imagine Mozilla courting Microsoft.
why in the world is Bing better for privacy?
My guess is that Mozilla is looking for new sources of funding now that Google has released Chrome.
Damn Small Linux is very convenient. I have an old ThinkPad from '97 with DSL. This allows me to connect it to the wireless network and run all my apps remotely from my main box.
Applications run faster that way than they do from the harddrive.
As you've demonstrated, "blue shell" mechanics allow new people to play with old hats. The seasoned players, in turn, have to rely on strategy more than brute force.
I enjoy these kinds of mechanics. Playing most games at a certain skill level alienates most other players. This makes it difficult to find other players. Everyone hates playing against "that guy."
Mad science doesn't kill people. People kill people.

That's my biggest problem with the Windows key. I love the functionality it provides, but it seems every keyboard has it in a slightly different position and a slightly different size.
Unless I'm on *my* keyboard, my fingers always hit the wrong meta-keys because of it.
Or Win+Space which opens up Gnome-Do.
Certainly no one would start a nuclear holocaust to make a point, but they might very well start one in order to fulfill a divine mandate.

Stanford University owns the PageRank patent.
It is the other way around: You patent something so you can publish it, without fear of your competitors. Otherwise you could propose a really good idea, get it established and widely used, patent it and sue world+dog.
A patent is a grant of exclusive rights to an invention in exchange for publishing. You don't acquire a patent so that you can publish something; you publish it so that you can dictate who can't use an invention.
IANAAL in any sense, but it seems to me that the Google front page being so horribly public would count as prior art. Everything I can find indicates that ANY publication in ANY form can constitute prior art.
It's been a while since I played, but I believe players can place a bounty on players that's visible to all players.
I'm not really sure why the bank wouldn't do this.
How will the oil drippings and the tire residue affect the panel output?
Of course. Since when do corporations do anything OTHER than make money?
If ever there was a question more deserving of facetious response...
