Because it's a waste of space?

I have a netbook with a resolution of 1024x600. I routinely have to hide the status bar already to get a little more vertical space. If I can get rid of the status bar and still retain the functionality in other ways, then great!

So?

If you're unlucky enought to get something strange, there's a button to get a new pair of words right away. I've never received two difficult ones in a row and by now I must have solved hundreds of them...

Yeah, I've had a couple of nightmares where I've realized it's just a dream while still inside the dream.

Unfortunately instead of being able to manipulate the dream I always wake up at that point.

Heh, good to see I wasn't the only one to think of that movie :D

Opening a new tab in Firefox already opens a blank page, not the home page...

I'm fairly sure this is even the default setting.

Only twice?

Hell, if I'm writing anything of real importance I generally have to write most of the text closer to a dozen times!
Inserting new sentences, paragraphs, chapters, changing word or paragraph order, making clarifications and corrections - it's simply impossible for me to just write a long text from start to end. My mind just doesn't work like that.

It was a huge relief when I no longer had to write essays etc. with a pencil and could use a text editor.

...which are all pretty damn common in some countries.

I still prefer ABS but that's hardly 'only one situation'.

There's also a theory that some allergies are caused by the lack of correct, beneficial bacteria in the digestive system. These (normally present) bacteria can get wiped out by heavy antibiotics, causing allergies.

I'm no scientist, but it sounds also reasonable...

...And if the common folk did decide to open up a recent grave then the sight would do nothing to allay their fears.

After 1-2 weeks the corpse is all bloated and as the blood unclots again it's oozing out from every orifice....

Not necessarily.

Most men call someone a whore because it seems to be the one insult that always works. 'Slut' is very similar. 'Fat' is almost as effective - but not quite.

Most men are not verbally talented enough or have good enough intuition to use more accurate insults.

Now why are 'whore' and 'slut' so effective insults? Well, that's a whole different question...

And similarly the culprit for the property destruction is the idiot smoking near flammable solvent - the bank president.

Huh? https://mail.google.com looks pretty secure to me...

Bah, Spring -> Summer and short skirts are much better :)

All the time.

Suuure.

Never got a headache from fluorescents either.

Yes, there's a visible difference with incandescents and compact fluorescents. Does it really matter in some way? Nope.

First three books were damn good?

Strange, I thought they were ok but not that great.

I started to get bored around book two but originally kept reading since I didn't really have anything to better to read back then. And boy am I glad I did.

If you ask me, the books really became great somewhere after Rhuidean and following Mat's storyline actually made me giggle out loud several times.(Not very manly, yea I know)

Yes, there's a lot of reading in Jordan's books but I don't mind that much since I'm a quick reader and even the side stories are interesting enough to keep my interest.

Can't wait to to see how well Sanderson does with the ending.
