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.
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 screen when the tabs are at the top of your browser. However if your tabs are on the side you can throw your mouse to one side and be guaranteed to click a tab.
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.
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 It was written in 1989 so it is a bit out of date.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 is still relevant.
It does confirm that "Even if the heart is instantly destroyed, there is sufficient oxygen in the brain to support full and complete voluntary action for 10-15 seconds".
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 websites are designed for resolutions that are far smaller than 1920 pixels. The real real estate is the vertical space. Placing the tabs on the left also allows me to have a small preview of the page without waiting for the mouse over. I understand this solution is not for everyone.
Opera seems to listen to the community relatively closely so hopefully these two issues can be solved in a future patch (or maybe even an extension).
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".

The seemingly paradoxical result in an increase in understandability but a decrease in usability. Think of it as reading a passage where almost every noun has been substituted by a dictionary definition.
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 gun crime rate, one of them could serve as a control state. If say 10 pairs of states were compared it would serve as a reasonable experiment on whether the law should be passed nation wide or not. Even better if evidence comes up that passing the law would only be beneficial in certain circumstances then it would help reveal the underlying causes of the problem in the first place.
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.
However I'm not clear if they have it automatically delete it after 9 months regardless of the activity or if there are other conditions that factor into this.
The whole deleting emails is a bad experience though. Just another reason to back up important files.
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. The average age of nuclear plant operators in America is around 60.

While GM foods are very far from the reputation nuclear power in America has the framework is set so one public scare will deter people from trusting GM foods for a very long time. Almost all grocery stores now carry 'organic' foods that are aggressively marketed.
For people to adopt GM foods they have to be introduced slowly. Take a look at Butter and Margarine:
http://www.margarine.org/historyofmargarine.html
"1902 - Amendments to the Federal Margarine Act raised the tax on colored margarine five-fold, but decreased licensing fees for white margarine. But demand for colored margarine remained so strong, that bootleg colored margarine flourished."
So yes while arguing about which replacement is best will delay the process ultimately public opinion will determine the fate of GM bananas.
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 on black is simply better at retaining attention than black on white).
While this only tests a certain setting where subjects are used to seeing black and white it would provide what you are looking for. A long term experiment where people recognize black on white as the norm would be difficult to carry out.
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 on net neutrality.

256kbps .m4a file with an option to convert to an .mp3. For anyone who takes music quality seriously the lack of a lossless option is a big turn off. No DRM on the purchases unless you live in Japan where some albums are covered by DRM.
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 suggests it is:
