Apparently, your love of precision does not extend to the word "not". Or maybe it's the word "one". It's hard to say, your statements are contradictory, and therefore imprecise.
Vista got the same oversight. From TFA: "The [Technical Committee] reviewed Windows Vista".
Remember, the consent decree has been in place since 2002 -- the DOJ presented the proposed settlement in 2001, but the judge didn't approve it till almost a year later (although some states objected to the terms, what was approved in 2002 has remained essentially unchanged).
Try changing the value for browser.fixup.alternate.enabled to false. I'm assuming that will turn off ctrl-enter for automatic ".com" completion as well.
Sure, but what about the Epson HX-20, circa 1981? I didn't actually own one, but I got to borrow one from a guy who was using them to run CNC machines.
Well of course it does. The submitter is the blogger, who must have needed some page hits for some reason. That's the second reason I didn't RTF(blog). The first is the name "Gartner" who will, of course, say anything as long as you're paying them enough.
Seriously. TeleType, acoustic coupler, yellow paper tape - those are old school. It was almost unheard of for a bunch of sixth-graders to be learning anything about computers back in 1969...
Damn kids with your new-fangled PEEK and POKE and not having to use LET . . . get off my lawn.

I agree. And I want that button to send a Taser(tm)-like shock to the developer who thought I'd want any sound at all to play automatically.

Also, don't shout.
As has been stated, the best person to review anything is not an (anything)-enthusiast.
Also "this guy" would be your host here at Slashdot, CmdrTaco. Perhaps you've heard of him?

After 102+ years, I don't think your horse was even alive, let alone "new".

I finally got the site to load and they're offering FF2.
Seems like an inauspicious start to setting a world record....

Fuck me. Fuck me like you did by the lake on Naboo.
Whooooosh!

And does anybody else have a Convergent Technologies WorkSlate? I should see if I can get that baby to fire up . . .

> ...strap a real board on, and head to the mountain?
I'm willing to give that a shot, but only if I can do it in the reverse order.
These are not the editors you're looking for.
Here's a review with a pictures of the back of the unit.
I probably have it better than you, I may not be able to get married, but I can get laid.
> Did you include your name and the class number in the word count for your papers in college?
Hell yes! Month day and year, too.
"160 characters, which takes 140 bytes because there are only 7 bits per character in the text messaging system,..."
WTF?
Also, they don't seem to account for any headers or other transmission overhead? Where'd these guys come from, the Verizon School of Mathematics?
Seldom has the submitter name "Anonymous Coward" been more fitting.

Oh, great, now the movie is ruined for everybody.
You mean Torgo? He watches the place while the master is away.

But you forgot how to write a FOR/NEXT loop?
Hmmmmm, Zero-G. And Wings. Needs a catchy name, something like . . . . Zero Wing!

They outsourced the math to Verizon.
