At the risk of inciting a flamewar, can you explain why you so hate Firefox 3.x's URL bar? I just typed in "s" and I got a drop-down list of 5 sites that I use on a daily basis that all begin with "www.s...". What should else should it do? Its an honest question -- I really want to know what's so wrong with it. Thanks.

This is more or less a dupe.

Okay:

"a 10-minute HD video taken on August 24th with a Canon Vixia HF20 HD camera suspended from a 1500g hydrogen balloon and launched near Edmonton, Alberta. This is the first known amateur video taken from this height â" 107,145 feet."

I never said anything about "good". And, FYI, Mapelthorpe is long dead, so he doesn't give a rats ass if people buy the photographs. Oh, and that's not a woman.

I'm not really interested in debating art here. Regardless of your personal feelings about it, it's a fact this his work is very well-known, and should be no cause for excitement on Slashdot.

He's only one of the most famous photographers in history. Jesus, if you haven't seen that image before, maybe it's time to move out of mom's basement and get an apartment. Or at least go visit an art museum once in a while.

Actually, there's like two Apple 'tard posts, and like 150 posts from Apple haters like you who come out in droves to jack off over every negative Apple story on /.

The puzzling thing is that almost every Apple-hate post goes on about how many Apple fanboys there are here, when it's like 90% Apple hate.

No you haven't, because your configuration database is keyed by hardware serial number. Who keys an asset database by some changeable variable like machine name? Duh.

Uh, what? Re-read the thread, "dude".

Nope, you're just a jackass pretending they know what they're talking about. I have no idea if there's a no-money rule now or was one in the beginning, but there were DEFINITELY people selling food and other things 15 years ago. Try knowing what you're talking about before spouting off.

I'm not saying its a good idea, I'm just disputing that many people are averse to putting the fate of their files online. Sure, paranoid geeks and corporations have resistance to this notion. That's not many people. The masses couldn't give less of a shit about this point.

Until YouTube starts offering online editing.

Yeah, that's why nobody uses gmail.

Universal Binary means it does work on PPC. I run 10.4 on a Powerbook G4, and I can run the latest of most of the software I need regularly. A few things are not the latest version, like Open Office, but the PPC version is still available.

I wouldn't say this effect is really that much different from the Windows world, although MS does make a lot more effort to keep backwards compatibility (to a fault).

Let me guess, San Francisco?
