FWIW I work on a netbook (Eee 1000 with eeebuntu) which is small, cheap, robust, and runs for 12 hours on an extended battery.
But Firefox is painfully slow. Chromium warns "This browser is not ready!" but is actually really great.
Apart from that cut and paste bug and a few more.
It's fast, fast, fast, and I don't mind if it crashes. I just restart it, remember to not press Ctrl-V, and let other people post my URLs for me.
I enjoyed Firefox a lot but the speed Chromium runs at makes it a compelling switch, even unfinished. Amazing, no?
I suspect that in elections from 2000 to 2006, the standards of democracy in the US fell to below what we would consider acceptable in emerging democracies. Where there would be monitoring from outside observers.
Not to make this more political than it will be, but do we know what direction those stolen votes went? Do we know how much this influenced the national vote?
Another thing I did not find in TFA: how was this uncovered?
Too lazy to post the link?
No, I'm using Chromium on Linux and though it's fast it crashes whenever I try to paste text. So thanks for posting the link.

Hi all.
I have an extra Xbox 360 Core system that I would rather sell to one of my Slashdot friends than some random dude on an auction site.
Email your best offer in the $700 range to me at upstandingpatriot@yahoo.com
I also request that whoever gets it from me sends a pic back of you or your kid playing it so I get some joy out of the hours I stood waiting in line in the cold while sick
In case you missed it the last four times...
I hope your Friday is going well!
For some reason the janitors have my home IP or subnet blocked from posting comments so I was unable to comment and participate in the MNF pick'em last nite.

Work Account (that is me) won this week's NFL pick'em challenge 6-4, besting the 2nd place finisher ShadowWrought.
Pick'em for tonite's Monday Night Football game but be sure to include the total # of points scored. Whoever picks the winning team and has the point total closest to the real total (going over is OK, this is not the Price Is Right) wins.
