Ubuntu, probably. Hoary had modified nautilus behaviour too. Otherwise spatial, but it always closed the previous window when opening new (same as opening with middle click in vanilla gnome).
Performance and code size probably do play a part in the decision of language to use for core libraries, but another important thing to consider is that C libraries are easy to wrap - they can be bound to be usable from any other language. Thus GTK, and to lesser extent GNOME libraries, are perfectly usable from Python, C++, PHP, Perl, Java, C#, probably Objective-C and lots of others too.
It might not be exactly impossible with Obj-C libraries, but it would certainly be much harder, and so there would be not nearly as many language bindings as there are now, and restricting programmers language choices is definitely NOT a way to increase productivity, OO or not.
Earth was likely very similar to Io right around the time life started popping up here (although Earth had [nearly] infinitely more water). If you want to understand the conditions that dictated when life could evolve, study Io!
Just because the volcanism may have been somewhat similar doesn't make it the same! Mantra or no mantra, the water does make helluva big difference, not to mention it's not on the Green zone, and has Jupiters radiation nicely toasting everything, so the conditions are really almost nothing alike.
I'm not sure what you mean by permanent liquid, and I'm guessing that's why you deleted it. =-}
Presumably something that hasn't turned to rock five minutes after being in liquid form?
Not to be nit-picky, but lightning rods actually prevent lightning from striking.
That's probably not true to any significant extent. Any kind of conductive lightning rod, no matter the shape, attracts it somewhat, simply by skipping bit of highly inconductive air and so offering path of least resistance.
See article.
Did you see it yourself? Because it doesn't imply any kind of repulsion (even though Teslas patent grant does), much less absolute prevention, and quite the opposite, links to few recent studies that say that the blunt tipped rods indeed do get hit more often than the sharp ones.
I effects other than resistance and carrying the current safely away when they eventually DO get hit are significant with either kind. Luckily enough, that's also the functionality the frankenstein depends on, not necessarily attracting, but just getting the power to machine eventually:)
Doctors are re-animating people after temporary purposely induced clinical death each day, it's called organ transplant surgery, and no, it's not particularly questionable by most people.
This is just logical extension that allows longer operations that would otherwise kill the patients.
Can't say I know, and the real article isn't available without paying either. But couldn't the same be said about every other cell in the body?
I guess they start working when the oxygen and nutrients start flowing, presumably first trough heart/lung machine to replace the saline solution with real blood and when things have warmed enough, they start the heart.
Ever hear of a defibrillator? I'd guess you could possibly in theory use the same device to electrically boot your brain up with a carefully regulated shock.
They're not even shocking them to start brains, they're using the defibrillator for exactly same purpose defibrillator usually is - for booting the heart. It won't start beating on it's own after it's been stopped and 30 degrees below it's normal operating temperature for three hours.
Even if the free floating virions would be somehow suspectible to cold, the viral RNA/DNA that is already within infected host cells would instantly start producing new virus particles when that cell recovers.
Left, which will let the guys in cowboy hats build more nuclear power plants (maybe even breeder reactors! GASP!)
Guys in cowboy don't want civilian breeder reactors any more than green luddites, because they could theoretically be used to produce weapons grade plutonium (GASP!), which would then, according to them, find it's way to the hands of the ultra scary things that are building NUCULAR BOMBS under every bed.
The fun part is, the humans didn't go extinct, the gulf stream didn't reverse, ocean fauna didn't all float belly-up because of melting glaciers being sweet water, etc.
Well, the others have already pointed out that the "warm greenland" thing is total, and absolute bullshit, but even if there have been warmer periods and higher sea levels while humans were around it's effects on the humans would have been vastly different, because things were very different back then.
It isn't all that hard for all 50 persons of the UglaBugla Village to move if their toes get bit wet, it's another thing entirely to relocate hundreds of millions of residents of coastal cities. The world balance and economy is a fragile thing, hell, one bozo flying an airplane to wall can noticeably upset it. If that kind of mass movement will ever happen, the resulting havoc will cause ww2 to look like bunch of children having a small fight over a sandbox.
Would humans go extinct? Probably not. Would millions, or billions of lives be lost, mostly not due to the actual environmental changes, but economic and political? Yes.
Nokia has been distributing Opera for a long time in their phones, you bet they know about it, and you bet they have a reasons to do so if they're planning to move away from it. Either they're unhappy about the price, or the quality, or both.
Besides, competition is ALWAYS good, no matter how good Opera is, it can become better, if it's the only player there is no incentive to do so, but if there's a good alternative...
Most definitely works for me, at least.
Well, we're not asking you to develop new browser, we're also asking you not to flame everyone who does want to spend their OWN time and money to do so.
You got it backwards. Small companies don't have the resources for marketing that would allow them sell crap, and they've got so few of them that they're actually forced to care about the customers they have, so they're forced to actually write non-crap.
Large companies on the other hand do have the marketing muscle, and can afford to screw a lot of people without even noticing, and not all that surprisingly, crap is what they sell.
That might be a good bet, except that the very same nanosecond you stop writing plain English, the handwriting recognization software starts doing things badly. VERY badly.
Character recognization basically sucks, they work as well as they do because they also look at the whole word and do a dictionary match instead of just getting invidual chars right, and something like that doesn't work for math.
I realize the price will go down over time, but seriously, who is going to buy this chip?
The same people who always buy flagship chips, kids with rich parents and other folks with whole load of money in their hands.
Ok, I know some gamers with too much money on their hands will buy it, but it's still going to be surpassed when the dual cores start gaining ground, especially in gaming (think Christmas '05).
I doubt too many games that can take advantage of dualcores will be done by christmas, but if I'm wrong, do you think the gamers in question will really need to think twice before getting another $1000 CPU for christmas, that time dualcore flagship?
Until I saw the pricetag I thought this might be an option for my next build, but not anymore. There are other options, at much lower prices.
Of course there are, things that cost three times more than something only slightly slower are not for people who concern themselves with money, the only "if you need to ask how much it is, then you can't afford it" line is how it tends to be on the absolutely latest and finest.
They just wrote a couple of shell scripts to configure shit for you, and released someone else's work.
And thus, with this grand gesture, millions of lines of code in kernel, gcc, glibc, gnome, and several other of the most significant open source projects were just reduced to "couple of shell scripts".
Not now - you're lucky to get 6 months out of fedora.
More like 10-11 months (stops slightly before two releases after have been made), still nowhere enough for server support of course, but that doesn't make blatant lying any better.
As another poster mentioned, several of the updates in Windows update refuse to be installed at the same time with any others, and these are always ones that require a reboot.
Note that the install disc I used in both cases had SP2 slipstreamed, so that was one less reboot you may need.
If we're talking about this from non-geek users perspective, there's about 99.9% chance they don't have slipstreamed install disc.
I also never reboot until I'm done installing all the software that might require it rather than after each piece of software--nothing's ever broken as a result, so why not?:)
Non-geek users also wouldn't even think about "rebelling" against the system when it tolds them to reboot, not to mention there isn't "no" button always, and they damn certainly wouldn't go to task manager and kill the setup process.
Either way, we're still looking at 5 or 6 reboots tops. Hardly the 10 you give as the max.:)
Add the extra steps from those two to vast majority of people, and it's easily ten, I wouldn't be surprised if more.
Yes, I'm suggesting a great may Windows users don't use tose programs.
Are you just trying to blur the issue with deliberate misleading use of "great many"? After all, there are so many Windows users that "great many" of them may indeed not need any given thing, BUT EVEN MORE DO.
You're right regarding browser, spyware protection, and audio drivers, but everything else is pretty much needed and generally installed for most of the home users.
W2K slipstreamed with two years old service pack, or even just 10 months old XPSP2 are hardly "up to date", in respect to either device drivers (and those that they do include are several months older than the sp itself) or security fixes.
In particular, OpenOffice 2 rocks. In FC it comes as individual packages for each app - ie, I get by with openoffice-core, openoffice-writer, and the English language package. In Ubuntu, I have to install and, worse, update a few massive packages.
Invidual packages or no, does it that really save you from massive updates? At least when updating automatically, considering they're still usually built from same source RPM's, every fix increases version numbers of every OOo package and they all get updated, even if the fix was just for one.
Someone who specifically goes out of their way to mention that you're reliant on the Fedora Legacy project to do that [security updates] for you. probably DID NOT forget about it's existence.
Red Hat had an offline solution at some point with a copy of the entire rpm db installed locally, don't know what happened to it. IMHO it was pointless, online dependency resolving was much better.
It still exists, as a separate package, or at least it did in FC3, but you're right, there isn't much point in installing it.

AFAIK Gnome doesn't have anyone providing a "just this distro" feature set.
GNOME doesn't, but they can't prevent a distro from distributing a patched version. And Ubuntu has done so before.
Ubuntu, probably. Hoary had modified nautilus behaviour too. Otherwise spatial, but it always closed the previous window when opening new (same as opening with middle click in vanilla gnome).

THIS should be perfect for mobile web browsing.
Well, it's not. Nothing is perfect, you know.

Tablet Edition is pretty much XP Pro with a bunch of pen input addons, so it should run just fine.

That bond was directly convertible to stock, and he has already done that too.
Or most likely he had hardware that's *gasp* made after WinXP. And that isn't particularly uncommon considering how OLD the thing is.
