Hey, _I_ like Vista. Does give me a BSOD now and then, and I had to use DosBox for a few things, but it makes me happy otherwise. Speedy, good looking, well organized, simple UI, good app support for what I use, and mostly just works.

Funnily, "get over" and "get across" always made sense to me (I'm Bulgarian). There's the timeline of your life, and a bulge on it, meaning a problem. You need to climb over the bulge to continue, so, "get over". Conversely, the brains of people are (still) separated by two auditory systems, two speech systems, and an amount of empty space. So, it seems right to say that getting your thoughts across those boundaries is called, well, "get your point across".

You don't actually know what you're talking about do you? For starters, this would make the XUL overlay extensibility model impossible. The big gain of XUL is being able to control all aspects of behavior and look at runtime, which in Mozilla products manifests as extensions, themes, userChrome.css...

Er, how are you "not able to use" the site?

Damn. I'm feeding a troll...

Yeah you know what? no. Yeah.

Google's Chrome ads. Pretty damn good too.

Speak for yourself. I dig Chrome's speed as much as the next guy, but if it wasn't for the incredibly good UI, I might not have switched...

No, they are hardly cosmetic changes.

(Someone had to call you out)

saying netbook is shorter and more precise than saying small laptop. thats all.

Ugh. If I got a cent everytime people misunderstand rvalues...

The following is valid code.
struct A { A operator++(int) {return A();} A operator+=(int) {return A();} }; int main() { A C; C+++=1; }

"I *used to* X" - "In the past I *was used to* doing X" - "In the past I had the habit of doing X".

No, they'll just get it with their netbook.

Hi. I keep hearing about the huge US national debt but I don't understand what it means. Does it mean Americans are poor? Does it mean USA owes money to other countries but can't pay them back? If so, why are other countries not at war with the US? Does it mean officials have stolen tax money for themselves, making the government owe money to the people and business? Does it affect me? (I'm East European) Whose fault is it? Is this all related to the financial crisis? I feel like I'm the only one not getting this... Thanks in advance!
