What do people have against simplicity? Sure, things being more complex might be more fun to tinker with, but for what actually matters - practical use, simplicity important. You probably use simplified features every day - even on Windows - yet you take it for granted and say it's a bad thing.

Macs are okay aside from the fact that their folder organization system was designed by a child.

Ignorant fool. Mac uses the reliable Linux file system, used form he beginning of computing to today. It's the same file system many web servers and other professional applications.

If you ask me, "NERDS" should go on Chrome, because nerds would know it's faster.
"HIPSTERS" should be on Safari, because it's primarily an OSX program.
"HUGE QUEERS" should be removed and FireFox given a new one.

Hipsters would have worked for Safari before Chrome came out.

No it fits pretty well. I've seen many non-nerd IE users switch to Chrome, probably because google advertised it so much on their homepage. And I've also seen a few people who got chrome when it first came out and they were all like "HURRR I USE CROME NOW HURRRRR AM I COOL ADN DIFFERENT YET?".

And then Nerds were probably more likely to keep using Firefox when Chrome came out, because they thought "Chrome" would be too simple for them.

That image is both stupid and dumb.

I would say it's actually pretty accurate stereotypes.

This is one of those graphs that have overly large bars for extremely small differences. There's hardly a difference between any of the tested browsers.

I guess your right, I was just mostly focusing on the fact that Chrome, Opera and Safari aced it.

Acid3 tests are ridiculous in my opinion. people constantly whine about them in browser fights, but it means almost nothing.

Then you don't appreciate standards. This basically measures a browser's ability to display web pages correctly, something that is very important for users so they don't see messed up web pages, and for developers so they don't have to re-write some parts of the page for every browser.

I don't get why people still think Firefox is the best, Let's look at the stats. These might eb a little dated, but I'll try to get ones that have version numbers. And then Safari is always completely forgotten, even though it it just slightly slower then Chrome.

These are results for the Acid3 test, that measure compliance with W3 standards.

SunSpider measures core JavaScript speeds.

On education of prisoners: It would work for some prisoner, and have no effects on others. Some people in prison made stupid mistakes, and would like to improve their life, and would probably be less likely to commit a crime if they are educated. But abusively there will be some people that would not be effected be education, because they are criminals on a deeper level, and might still do crimes if they were educated.

I think a prison system should be about separating people that just made mistakes and people who are just criminals by nature. I think people who just made mistakes should have some punishment, but they should get an opportunity to earn more privileges, like education and more recreational options. People who are violent by nature would need to be kept in prison longer and probably less effort would be need to put on reforming their lives.

I believe that length of less violent or major sentences need to be shortened, but prisoners should rarely get the option of getting left out early. I'm sure there have been people who pretend to be really good and then get let out to do more crimes.

I think prisoners should start out in hasher conditions as a punishment. Then the prisoner should be moved up to better conditions.

The look is simple, but that's if that's what you trying to do then it's OK. It looks kind of like some kind of military trying simulator. I still think you maybe could make it a little more open (possibly take out the pillars on the top level), and it wouldn't hurt to maybe add another color for accent so it doesn't look as much like a grey blob.
