Well you see Firefox didn't really exist at that point, but there was this new project starting up called "Mozilla". It had Mail and a Browser and basically appeared to be a replacement for the aging Netscape4 suite.
And it was free.
And no I never loved MSIE, nor has it ever been my primary browser.
Except Opera lagged behind with the most significant feature: being free.
According to the wiki timeline it wasn't until around 2000 when a 'free' version became available (supported by inbuilt ads), and then as recent as 2005 when finally the ads were removed.
I would argue that the digital tablet is closer to the perfect input device. They are arguably more intuitive than mice as the pointer is mapped to the tablet and you simply point or draw which can be much like writing.
Also the tablet is much higher resolution than current touch screens, an important issue in graphics related work. And with a 1:1 mapping between the screen and tablet you can near instantly place the curser anywhere on screen (something you can't do with mice).
The only downside that I have experienced is where a mouse is always there and waiting to be pushed around, to use the tablet you must first find and pick up the pointing device "pen".
Once the pen hovering technology is finally deployed this will no longer be an issue, and tablets will finally replace mice as the defacto standard.
A reverse gear is very often used, and thus the mechanics to use said gear is very convenient and easy.
Many people here would argue that SVN is easy to drive on a daily basis.
Changing a tyre is considered a very rare occurrence. The mechanics for changing a tyre are relatively difficult and time consuming compared to driving in reverse.
Here your argument appeared to be that an important feature of CVS is being able to change a tyre (delete a revision) with the flick of a switch.
If your roads are made of nails this is an excellent feature to have.
That worked fine in AVG7, however no matter what I tried in AVG8 it just wouldn't ignore that it was disabled.
The only thing that worked was using a commandline argument to remove the component. I can at least be satisfied that AVG made it relatively simple process to do once you had uncovered the obscure commands.
That is certainly news to me. Do any of the third-party clients support this feature for MSN?

Years ago RAID cards switched to PCI-X to gain the increased bus bandwidth and now you'll find them using PCI-Express.
The PCI bus is slow. Not slow enough to notice if you are using a 100mbit network card or a sound card, but definately too slow for modern GigE network, SATA drives, and graphics.
I had to dig back to 2003 to find an article where they had bothered testing PCI for RAID bandwidth. The results are unsurprising.
But wouldn't it be much easier for law enforcement to get your ISP or your Usenet provider to cough up your usage logs than if you were using BitTorrent (with DHT and Encryption)?
I'm interested to find out how to clean up "incorrect" Geolocation info too.
Increasingly it appears sites are using GeoLocation to route you to a different version of their website, or prevent you from viewing content.
Sometimes it may be useful, such as when Google serving you localised adverts, however when they get it wrong it can becomes a great pain in the arse.
Worse is when sites ban you from viewing content, or just ban you completely, based on your location.
I'm sure some people will rationalise the need for Geolocation for restricting content, but I think it is akin to putting a poster in a public place and then trying to restrict people from viewing it.
Sorry, that is what I intended to get across but English has failed me again (Me Fail English!?).
I should have said "See TrueCrypt for a counter-example", ie. of when having physical access may NOT be game over for your data.
However other good posts above have highlighted that gaining access while the PC is running and using the Firewire hack may leak your crucial/protected data.

We could name this system call 'shutdown'.
Then maybe if we knew the power was about to drop out it could call 'shutdown now'.
Brillant.
I couldn't decide whether to mod you Insightful, Troll or just plain Funny.

...and this stops you from using it now, why?
Because i'm ingrained in my backward-firefox-ways.
After pretending to enjoy using Firefox for several years why should I go to the effort of switching to a different browser?

I came to the same conclusion: the iPhone is great for everything except making phonecalls.
To hell with my karma.
Touchpads are a tradeoff between convenience and mobility, that is why you rarely see them on desktop systems.
On desktop systems you would either see a mouse or a digital tablet (such as a Wacom tablet).
A common mistake I have seen programmers make is removing a branch from an if-else statement.
if {
} else {
}
With the above format it is very easy to accidentally remove the brace preceeding the "else" when removing the else branch.
if {
}
else {
}
With this coding style it is less prone to disastrous pruning.

You got to *carry* the iron ore?
We had to eat iron ore for breakfast.
And that was after we finished cleaning the lake-bed with a toothbrush.

Welcome to g(.)(.)gle.

It looks like DARPA is trying new methods to get some more funding.
There are people that still do orienteering in this day and age? Wow, I thought they were all doing geo(c)hashing now.
I think there might be one or two non-Americans on /. that could answer those questions.
