I removed search box from Firefox few months ago and never looked back. I use search engine keywords instead[1]. My current keywords include goog, bing, amzn, crate, and wiki. Guess what search engine they refer to. :) [1] http://kb.mozill

The thing I'm most worried about is what happens if one of the residents needs medical attention. Mars is going to be a one-way trip and while the pioneers will most probably be young and healthy, they won't stay young and healthy forever.

Google is not an "open" company, no matter how many times they put that word in their press releases and ads. They are optimizing for revenue. They never allowed YouTube download add-ons in Chrome Web Store either. Removing AdBlock shouldn'

The reasons they forked were good at the time they did it. They knew Oracle doesn't play well with open-source and they needed to be proactive. They didn't want to let Oracle kill OpenOffice the same way it killed OpenSolaris. But now that

Having a culture who encourages financial support of open source projects is good for everyone. But forcing everyone to pay in order to use a project is not. I have about 20 of these projects in my requirements.txt and if I were living in a
