I picked up my Acer Iconia. A500 tablet from BestBuy yesterday. 24hrs later, the screen looks like its been used for 6 months. It's scary how these things keep you captivated.

One has to admire the relentless spirit of a nation to value the immense loss on this day ten years ago. And their courage to stand by it. Hats off to those in United 93 who chose to sacrifice thier life over thier fellow countrymen. And to the countrymen who don't forget the loved ones, and show gratitude to those who served. May the families, whose loss is immeasurable, find peace this day. May the souls rest in peace. May there be "No such day to any nation on the face of the planet, EVER again" . Today, so We pray.

Similarly with @resource. 2. Some GreaseMonkey helper methods don't work or are restricted. Methods with GM_ prefix from userscript api may not work. Particularly, unsafeWindow, GM_registerMenuCommand, GM_setValue, or GM_getValue are not supported. GM_xmlhttpRequest will work but not only on the same domain. 3. @include s are not shown while installing. This may not be a deal breaker for developers, but sure is for users.
