Well what this picture doesn't show is my second monitor which I'm using to run chat and other misc. programs. Screen space is not much of an issue for me but I try to be efficient with it by putting my tabs on the left.

To combat this problem I've put by tabs on the left: http://i.imgur.com/S05lg.png Since I'm using a 16:10 monitor it works out nicely. Opera also has a problem of not clicking the tab if you put your mouse all the way at the top of the sc

I think LG came from a merger of Lucky and Goldstar. Goldstar used to make low quality products, I have never used a Lucky product. Then merged and rebranded under LG. http://www.vb.com/lg.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LG_Electronics

http://www.firearmstactical.com/pdf/fbi-hwfe.pdf Here's a PDF analyzing the effectiveness of firearms. It was written in 1989 so it is a bit out of date. Perhaps someone with more experience with firearms can check to see if the article i

This is interesting I have my tabs placed to the left and it works fine. When the tabs are placed at the top however they cannot be clicked on from the edge of the screen. Placing the tabs on the left has always made sense to me since most

Unfortunately by drawing attention to this information I am now obligated to substitute concise words with superfluousness ones.

Interesting, perhaps in their effort to avoid short scientific terms they have substituted in longer more common words. For example describing a tumor as "an abnormal new mass of tissue that serves no purpose". http://wordnetweb.princeton.

An interesting issue. One way around it would be to enact the law in two states that have a similar environments. Continuing the example with gun control if there were two states with similar situations, both of them have an abnormally high

Wow, that name alone is amazing. Simple, easy to remember and clever. Combined with the simple design, and novelty you're off to a great start! This will be really interesting to follow.

While everyone is up in arms for Microsoft at deleting the emails after 270 days Google too has a policy which they can terminate your account ofter 9 months (30x9=270) of inactivity. It seems reddit needs to do a little reading up. http:/

Can you specify exactly what you mean by ALF? Wikipedia turns up both the Arab Liberation Front and the Afar Liberation Front, both of which mention leaders.

I think you are underestimating the power of public opinion. Nuclear power was a contender to replace coal and fossil fuel until the Three Mile Island accident. Since then there have been no new nuclear power plants constructed in America.

An interesting experiment would be to test with close captioning which, in North America at least, uses white on black. Another side experiment could be conducted to see if it has any impact on how much attention the show receives (if white

UWDC does a pretty good job of that too.

While I love the novelty behind UW chat most professors probably be a little annoyed with it. Still it seems like a pretty fun instant chat room app. Really looking forward to the the next few apps. QC seems to have a lot of potential.

Yes I thought about this more after I posted my comment and realized that is is reasonable to be a supporter of both. It did come as a bit of a surprise when I had heard Al Franken voted for this bill since he was so public about his views

By imposing every possible constraint, not being able to do anything, you can, ironically, achieve unlimited potential.

I think you're thinking of the inverse cosine function arccosine. The reciprocal of the cosine function is known as the secant. I do not know if this is specific to English speaking countries. However the Chinese version of wikipedia sugges

I agree Microsoft had an opportunity to capitalize on casual game and they missed it. In fact once I think about it Microsoft was really close to it. They had MSN Spaces, essentially a dumbed down version of my space and they had The Zone.

Looking stupid should be a side effect of getting rejected and not a path towards it. It's interesting that you mention improv because rarely ever in improv do you reject an idea. From what I've seen successful improv is working with every
