I prefer questions about broad and permanent matters rather than the minutiƦ of daily life.

      In short, more socially liberal than anyone who could get elected to Congress these days, and caring primarily about the social issues

      Now that Chrome 9 is available, I just use --purge-memory-button --enable-extension-timeline-api --enable-video-layering --enable-fastback and enable all flags except "Disable Hyperlink Auditing"; I also make sure to disable Instant, now that it's part of the release version of the browser, and to enable click-to-play.

      One of the most notable wikis on the Wikimedia Foundation's commercial, ad-supported Wikia project was started as a Wikipedia fork on March 2005, almost 6 years ago, by some editors who chafed at the limits imposed by Wikipedia's notability guidelines upon the level of detail allowed in entries about Star Wars.

      less than a year, odd considering that's what most people sound like when saying "Wikipedia"

      On 15 January 2011, almost 10 years ago, Wikipedia sprung forth as the community-edited feeder for the professionally curated Nupedia, which it would go on to supplant.

      If my spouse were sufficiently well-known in a professional context that a name-change would be difficult, and it were decided that any children would be better-off without the confusion attendant on not sharing a surname with one or both parents, I would consider it.

      Mainly, I thought that 26 was the oldest age at which a man could be drafted in the United States, when instead it is the age at which a man becomes ineligible for the draft; also at the time DADT hadn't been repealed yet (and still hasn't...wait until March), so I would have had that to fall back on in case of draft.

      I don't know; I think turning it into an acronym would make it easier to put more letters in, like GLABPTIQ (Gay, Lesbian, Asexual, Bisexual, Pansexual, Transgender, Intersex, and Queer).

      250, which can be a bummer if you regularly open more than that in a few hours. :-(

      Right now, in stable form, Java, a PDF reader (PDF-XChange), and a TIFF viewer (AlternaTIFF) are among the plugins available for 64-bit Windows browsers (Flash is in the "Square" alpha but works well); the landscape is looking brighter for those who prefer to use 64-bit Internet Explorer or Minefield (Firefox pre-alpha)! Surprisingly, although Apple makes 64-bit Safari available for OS X, and Google makes 64-bit Chrome available for Linux (along with Opera for its browser), those vendors are 32-bit only for the moment on Windows, but surely they will join the Win64 bandwagon along with the Windows Media Player, QuickTime, RealPlayer, VLC, LibreOffice, Adobe Reader, and Shockwave plugins; note that in most cases the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of a plugin can be installed side-by-side and updated separately.

      Right after updating to the latest stable version, 8, I stuff this into the shortcut: --purge-memory-button --enable-extension-timeline-api --enable-print-preview --enable-nacl --enable-gpu-rendering --enable-accelerated-2d-canvas --enable-video-layering --enable-fastback
      --enable-nacl does add in the GPU Plugin, just in case you were wondering; also I am using every Labs option except Instant, and now that I have click-to-play I can ditch the Flashblock extension!

      The use of AlphaImageLoader is well-known, but you can also consider this Javascript solution: http://www.dillerdesign.com/experiment/DD_belatedPNG/
      There is also a way to more broadly fix problems with Web standards in IE5-8, and it all relies on conditional comments: https://code.google.com/p/ie7-js/

      I realize I asked myself a question, but Tweeter isn't working correctly so I used my Formspring to send this to Twitter and Facebook, and also MySpace...anyway use LinkPeelr, which provides a convenient Google Chrome extension: https://linkpeelr.appspot.com/

      That's a good question; I'd like to think it's "mathematician" but more generally it is something for which I will make a memorable contribution to knowledge or common practice.
