Screen real estate for me, I run my computer at 1280x1024, but having multiple windows of the browser open is just too much screen being used.
I also like middle-clicking to open a whole ton of stuff in tabs, like from a blog post, then working my way down the line of tabs closing each when I'm done.
"In fact, when I open new tabs and try to close one of them, they all close, and I lose cookies, while with windows, I just get back to what I wanted to see."
Never had that happen to me personally, what version do you have installed? Maybe even uninstall it, delete it's remaining folders, then do a fresh install.
I'd recommend calling the police on a non-emergency line and telling them what's up and that you'd really appreciate them having a look around.
If this fellow is up to no good, odds are they may already have their eyes on him.
I've always been interested in this. I think the reason sealand is able to keep on going is because they're out in international waters and the british aren't really interested in what they have.
Hakim Bey's essay on temporary autonomous zones could be helpful, it would seem after some googling that the Montevideo Convention provides the primary international standard for statehood.
I dunno about pretentious, I think it's mainly (as others have said) a thinly veiled product for concealing your license plate.
And could it possibly look more fake?
Is it legal?
It is illegal to obscure your number plates. It is not illegal to spray mud onto your car, provided you do not obscure your plates in the process. We certainly can’t condone anyone doing this in order to avoid, for example, detection by speed cameras. You can be fined quite heftily if you do obscure your number plates, it is not however, we are advised by the legal profession, an offence for which you will attract an endorsement on your licence.
I love blimps!
It would be quite awesome if they could deliver internet wirelessly throughout the U.S., although not so awesome for satellite ISPs I suppose.
We're both new monkeys! Hurrah!
Awesome story, I rather liked last-night's desert-explorer post too.
The Little Prince is a favourite of my girlfriend, I've yet to read it myself but I think perhaps I ought to.
I'd oft wondered the same, thanks Hlewagast and others for providing a sweet answer and thanks to danielo for asking it.

Really grotesquely freakishly bad word choice. I hope the intent isn't where the words are at.

In "I dream of old Dean Moriarty."
I loved the book and trust Coppola to a reasonable degree, but I just don't see how it could possibly make the transition from the page to the screen.
