I noticed the same... they have never been smooth on Firefox (Windows 7 64bit), but now they aren't even smooth in IE... can anyone else confirm that?

If resolution is bigger, makes a new window instead of warning.

Not a good chart. I live in Europe. I have lived in France and Germany. Both in those coutries tipping is not very common. You only tip when you are having a really fancy dinner with loads of people.
In states you tip everything and everyone... which is crazy.

I was surprised also that the UI is so similar to Opera.
I always wanted to go from Opera to Firefox (because Opera's lack of Adblock and some problems with google apps like calendar, gmail), but it was too slow and ugly. Now I give it a good test.

I agree. I'm doing it myself also, otherwise it would be impossible to develop for android. But you need to test your application on different screen sizes, dpi etc.
Or you can buy loads of different phones to test on them all.

With WM 3 seconds? It takes only to boot up 3-4 minutes. Emulator is painfully slow. Whole internet is full of complaints about it...

Best thing about WP7 (for me) are the tools that they provide to developers. Visual Studio (Phone) compared to Eclipse for Android is so much better. The IDE itself and also debugging. Using eclipse after is like doing a brain surgery through arse.
I use and develop for Android, but once I tried WP7 tools I got very jealous.
Re:Why Stack Overflow Sucks and Participating There is Impossible

I agree. I enjoy that you get answered so quickly and if you are rep whore, you can just ask good questions, they get up-voted and you get points.
But I really don't see any point, it's a serious Q&A site.

All the posts are 30 seconds to 1 minute old, how fast you expect to get the answers? They are on front page so people can answer them.

I guess Estonians do trust their government, at least the IT part of it, they even vote online.

I doubt you need to defend it right away... if you get more powerful - yes, why should anyone want to attack your micronation? They rather do it in diplomatical way so other countries don't recognize your sovereignty.

We can also become a nation of internet freedom... we can get loads of investments from people who want to move server parks to our territory to be protected from other governments and evil censors.

There are no undiscovered or unclaimed islands to start a new country. Existing countries are protecting their sovereignty and territorial integrity... in theory you can "build" a new country... an island, 22 km/14 miles from the border (territorial waters). Probably it's expensive.
There are many micronations: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_micronations Why gazzilionaires haven't started one - I don't know, probably their life is good enough to enjoy it in countries that already exist.
If anyone wants to start a new country and has budget - let me know. In the beginning we can make money by selling domain names, if ICAAN approves us. So we need to pick a good name for our country to get a decent domain name and make shitloads of money.
