Yeah, just because you Americans can't build Mars probes worth a dime, it doesn't mean nobody else can. *grin* This brave little probe was supposed to reach Mars in 1998 (read the article!), it's a bit of a marvel that it still works at all.
Not quite. If you click on the "Gobe Productive for BeOS" link, you're taken to a page covering GP *2*. If you scroll the order page down, however, you'll find this note at the bottom: "We are currently out of BeOS inventory."
The FAQ states:
"Q: When will gobeProductive be available? A: The Windows version is available now. Get yours fromthe online store. The Linux version will be available in 2002."
"Q: The initial release this fall is Windows only. How do I get the Linux version? A: There will bea certificate in the package that entitles you to a free Linux installation CD once the Linux version is available.Fill out the certificate and send it to us. Once the Linux version of gobeProductive is released we will send a CD to you."
So, in order to get the Linux version later, buy the Windows version now.... Yeah, 'odd'...
Most modern distributions come with a rescue system on the installation CD. The trouble with floppies is that they are just too unreliable to make a decent rescue system.
What features are you referring to? All the features you mentioned are in Opera 6 for Linux (and others are even exclusive to the Linux version).
I'm using my web browser 10 h a day (work & play), and for me there's simply *nothing* which even remotely compares to the usability and robustness of Opera (yes, I do have the whole bunch installed). It's the only program on Linux I ever bought a license for, and looking at the current selection, it likely will hold that position.
Let's go through them:
Konqueror: No tabbed browsing. Nuff said. I usually have about ten browser windows open...
Mozilla, Netscape & Galeon: I'm an editor in a webboard and that f*cking textarea input bug makes it hardly bearable to use it for that. It just shouldn't be that a browser in this day and age inserts text where *it* wants and not where *I* want. Cut and paste... Need I say more? I *have* to use C-c and C-v? Even when cut & pasting from one tab to another? No thanks.
And no browser I know compares to Opera when it comes to bookmark management, especially with the new search function in 6.0. My 2c
Well, that's maybe because Mandrake isn't too proud to copy good stuff from Debian. In fact we do have some developers who are quite fond of Debian;-).
If you look at urpmi or the 'alternatives' system, these are implementations of ideas first appearing on Debian. Gael Duval once described the Mandrake distribution as 'a sort of commercial Debian'.
Mandrake's always been compared to Red Hat, because that's where it stems from. Maybe it's time people also take into account the strong influence Debian has on Mandrake...
If I remember my biology classes correctly, teeth already are regarded as an evolutionary relic by some biologists, so they are bound to disappear anyway some time 'soon' (on the evolutionary timescale, that is).
What's more: *of course* humanity will adopt to living in space, they will look different from the people living on earth, that's the whole point in evolution, isn't it?
That this might bear some problems for the first spacefarers has already been a topic in SF literature, e.g. in C.M. Kornbluth's story "The Altar at Midnight".
Well, at least I can get mozillaquest displayed in the browser of my choice (Opera). Not so with mozillaquestquest.
What is this, some kind of reverse discrimination? That's plain stupid. I'm interested in what's going on in M's development, but since I'm on a laptop here, Opera suits my needs (MDI) much more than Mozilla (0.9.3) which is very slow on my machine (600 MHz PIII, 256 MB, no less...) and takes up too much of my valuable screen estate.
Everybody here's screaming blue murder if a site's blocking non-MSIE users, and rightly so. Now this guy's doing the same and it's ok because it's cool?
Well, and if it reached that point, don't you think that would be another reason for the resignation of this editor? Unless you wanted to go into an endless loop of mistrust and accusations.

Fourth Bruce: No. Right, I just want to remind you of the faculty rules: Rule One!
Everybruce: No Poofters!
Fourth Bruce: Rule Two, no member of the faculty is to maltreat the Abbos in any way at all -- if there's anybody watching. Rule Three?
Everybruce: No Poofters!!
Fourth Bruce: Rule Four, now this term, I don't want to catch anybody not drinking. Rule Five,
Everybruce: No Poofters!
Fourth Bruce: Rule Six, there is NO ... Rule Six. Rule Seven,
Everybruce: No Poofters!!
Fourth Bruce: Right, that concludes the readin' of the rules, Bruce.
