Neither OmniWeb nor Safari nor IE support tabbed browsing. OnmiGroup and Apple have plans to incorporate that into their browsers. Microsoft - who knows. The first KHTML-based tabbed browser will be my browser of choice.
Here's the rundown so far: Safari - free, no tabs, KHTML OmniWeb - commercial, no tabs, KHTML IE - free, no tabs, MS rendering engine Camino - free, tabs, Gecko Opera - commercial, tabs, Opera rendering engine
My guess is that the most creative software opportunities will remain in the US for some time, and the more routine development efforts will continue to be transfered overseas.
I doubt the USA will remain a good place to be employed as a software developer. Software development with it's low barriers to entry will eventually move to where software developers are the cheapest, i.e. outside of the United States. China, India, and Russia all have many programmers with salary requirements a fraction of what American programmers demand.
Or here in Europe, because they do not have one because creditcards are not as widespread as in Northern America.
I hear a lot of people say that e-commerce is slow to take off in Europe because credit-cards are not widespread. This is only a half-truth. In Germany at least you have three options: credit-card, wire-transfer, and the good, old C.O.D. Many businesses just ship COD because it's safe and a no-brainer. Few offer payment via credit-card because wire-transfers are so widespread. Additionally wire-transfers are relatively cheap ($0.20/transaction), safe (rogue charges are easily disputed), and convenient all without opening a line of credit.
Someone tell me why a wiretransfer is so costly in the USA ($20) and so cheap in Europe ($0.20).
The word is county not country. And if you could read you might find better words with which to pepper your language besides derivitaves of four-letter words.
But to your argument, I'd appreciate it if you would answer the question. Naturally occuring uranium is quite different from a nuclear waste dump in your backyard or for that matter a nuclear reactor.
Accidents don't happen. People don't make mistakes. That's why there's never been a oil spill or a Chernobyl.
So your solution is to dump all of America's nuclear waste in Africa. The value you place on human life is exceeded only by your ignorance.
You do not have a solution. All of your highfalutin talk about breeder reactors and U23* is just nonsense. In the end it boils down to a simple question which you have yet to answer: would you like nuclear waste buried in your county?
Have we all forgotten about the byproduct of nuclear power: radioactive uranium. After it has lost its usefullness at a nuclear reactor it needs to be disposed of. Disposing of it right now means burying it in the ground. If not properly sealed it will leak and contaminate the environment. By the way it remains a radioactive hazard for millions of years afterwards.
I suppose if you have a big state like Nevada you can dump it there but what about other countries that don't have bountiful dumping grounds like the USA. Would you like nuclear waste burried in your county? Suddenly nuclear power seems the dirty monster that it really is.
Additionally, do not forget that Tipper Gore was influential, if not responsible, for the idiotic "explicit lyrics" stickers on music sold in stores. However, it was funny watching the likes of Dee Schneider (Twister Sister), Judas Priest, and ACDC make appearences in Congress.
That would certainly be a paradox as most of the world's web SERVERS run a unix variant.
Keep in mind that the world's largest media company, AOL/TimeWarner owns Netscape. Even though AOL users still get IE as the default browser I can't imagine the company purposefully designing websites that would not work on Mozilla/Netscape browsers.
The CIO is a politically connected guy who reports to the CEO and is responsible for all IT at the company. "All IT" would emcompass a common architecture for the company, common data formats, common platforms - i.e. everything works together and it makes the CEO look good.

But what a goofy country: Sex will draw an NC-17 rating, but you can rip somebody's face off and feed it to the dogs and get an R.
I don't know about elsewhere but Germany gave Hannibal an X rating (18 or older) because of the violence.
