>Ah yes the voodoo fix that never fixes anything.

Funny how this is prescribed for every ill the mac faces. Usually it's the act of rebooting that "fixes" whatever the problem is. I don't think the command-PR bit does anything, wouldn't be surprised if the action was just mapped to repeatStartupSound() in the bios.

Couldn't we do this with a 1% tax on the whole population?

Sure and in ten years it'll be a 10% tax on everyone. When income tax was invented, it was a 1% tax on the very wealthiest, now it's a 25-40% on the middle class. When sales tax was started in my state (1965! How on earth did the government manage to function before that??), it was 1%, today it's 8% in most places. Give the government an inch of taxation, they'll nickel and dime it up a mile.

The OWS crowd simply wants to take the powers from the corporations and give them to the government. Sound great, but here's the problem: I can choose to not do business with Ford. I can choose not to buy a Ford. How do I choose not to do business with the government? Ford doesn't have the power to take my assets and throw me in prison if I choose to not buy their products, the government does. Period.

Government is out of control and is the greatest threat to personal liberty, property, and rights.

Take a look at the murder rate by state and you will find that the lowest rate state is New Hampshire.

Strange how New Hampshire has some of the loosest gun laws in the nation. No permits, open carry, etc.

I've been using Firefox exclusively for six years now, and just this month I switched to Chromium. Firefox has tried so hard to duplicate Chrome that it's no longer a distinct, nor innovative browser. At this point it's simply a poor knock-off of Chrome. A poor knock-off full of memory leaks and bugs. I decided I might as well just use the real thing.

There have been a few minor FF features I've missed in Chromium, most of which I can rectify with extensions. Chrome is a far, far better browser though. You don't realize how disruptive it is to have to restart Firefox every 8 hours or so to free its several gigs of wasted RAM until suddenly you don't have to do it anymore.

Before working to add new features, why not first make it so you can use it for 5 minutes without it segfaulting? How about making it so your savefiles aren't constantly becoming corrupt? Kdenlive shows great promise, but it's the least stable piece of software I've ever used.

The worst part is I can no longer middle-click links in some posts in Firefox. Instead of opening the link in a new tab like it should, something in the broken javascript makes it open the parent, and move me around in the page so I first have to scroll around to find the post I was reading, right click the link, copy the URL, open a new tab and paste in. Major hassle. Same thing happens if I highlight a phrase to search.

Greek and Latin or quite depreciated.

Don't I know it. The last Latin I bought lost half its value just by driving it off the lot.

The translation leaves a bit to be desired:

"Several times a day suppositories made agreements with a checklist for a systematic check-ups failed to find, and believe me, they were there. Onderhoud had het er druk mee. Maintenance had it busy."

Where's the moderation -1 Yuck?

Where will we go for our fix of lousy, horribly formatted websites from 1997?

I feel bad for this sucker:

As someone who's seen Team America, let me be the first to say that would fit every definition of "cruel and unusual".

Did anybody check out the Ada Jones link? One of the song titles is "If the man in the moon were a coon". Wikipedia reveals what may just be the silliest sentence I've ever read: "His first hit was "If the Man In the Moon Were a Coon" in 1906 The song combined two then-popular song themes, Moon songs and Coon songs." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Fisher

Wait, you want me to open a PDF from folks who know how to create such a supervirus? Hmm.
