I really like FF, being a web developer I use many different browsers, but ever since Google Chrome was announced I have been using that.
Within the last few months I have been using the Chromium daily builds as my main web browser (completely stable, I might add)
I like Chromium better than FF because it is clean, simple and fast. It takes the focus away from the browser and puts it on the content, I just wish they'd sort out fulscreen browsing:D
They both use Webkit for rendering web pages, except that Chromium replaces the JavaScriptCore component with its own faster "V8" Javascript engine, thus making Chrome/Chromium Faster.
I think this person is the only person of his position that is actually seeing reality. All he has done is stated the plain obvious.
But it goes further than that, he (and everyone else) needs to realise that downloading is a very convinient method of distribution,
I would much rather download a film or album than go out and look for it, or even order it from Amazon.
Within the next few years ISPs should be providing (from what I read) 10Gb/s speeds, this is faster than USB 2.0...
With that kind of speed it will take people less than an hour to download a full Blu-Ray disk, I think you get my point...
I was in a similar situation, the only difference is the other people are my family:D
What I did was add a guest account that had no write access to anything (except for its application data, not even My Documents), put all of your menu items in your user's menu folder and wipe everything from the global menu items, put the applications you want them to have access to in their own menu folder and change the permissions to it is not writable to them. Basically all they should need is a web browser, so put one in the start menu and maybe quick launch menu so they can launch it, but nothing else.
Those pictures are just from an iPhone running OS 3.0, they were taken by a Chinese blogger demonstrating 3.0's capabilities.
According to this site: http://www.mrgadget.com.au/gadget/2009/gizmodo-gets-it-wrong-just-iphone-30-os-screen-grabs/ the blogger says (in Chinese)
that the pictures were taken of an iPhone 3G with iPhone OS 3.0.
This is why you shouldn't spread rumour...
But wouldn't it be cheaper to buy an X-Box 360 for £160? I am no X-Box fanboy, but it does run games well, and looks good doing it (Bioshock water effects FTW). What I am trying to say is, you could buy a gaming computer for £500 ($800) or you could buy a games console for £160 to £300, and it will look better on your HDTV.
Besides, every time you buy an X-Box 360 M$ actually loose money, they only make it back on the games, so, everyone could chip their X-Boxes, pirate their games and seem M$ crumble:D
At least I can put a sign saying "This area is under CCTV Surveillance in the interest of Crime Prevention and Public safety" in there and it'd actually be accurate.
I set up two VMs each with 1GB of RAM and access to a single 2.4Ghz CPU and 20GB of HDD space. When Windows Vista first boots (completely vanilla) it uses 6**MB of RAM; Windows 7 uses 6**MB of RAM when it boots initially, but then suddenly drops to 360MB of RAM. I did't notice a performance difference between the two VMs though to tell the truth.
When last I checked the military's policy on wiping hard drives was to wipe it, write 1s and 0s and then cut the drive in half and send each part to separate locations to be destroyed. Maybe they wanted to make a little money from selling them on Ebay instead of just destroying them. See what this economy is doing to people!
I completely agree with this comment, I learned a LOT from w3schools, every now and then when I forget something it is a quick reference, really great site. I just wish they though XHTML by default though, other than that they are amazing!
I've been using linux is some form or other since 2002, it started when I saw my brother running Gentoo (I think)with fluxbox, it was incredibly bare, and for some reason I loved that:)
over the years I've seen linux grow into a stable and completely usable desktop.
I'm still waiting for a complete and stable KDE 4 though:D
The power to seize property in this manner should not be in the hands of people that describe a terminal emulator as "a black screen with a white font" If these people were powerless then it'd be funny. They aren't and it's not, it's scary in fact.
I think most touch screens work by using IR sensors blob detection and blob recognition:D
But really the table could have been smaller. I am thinking of a huge iPod Touch with legs...

Yes, and it's not FireFox... I like the new look, but it still feels fat and slow.

That is less money that you will have to pay for downloading 25 songs, at least.
When last I checked all laptops are in three dimensions, I wouldn't want a 2D laptop., it'd be hard to type...

Just use Qt, it is LGPL and works beautifully.
I thought that was just its name...

I understood what he meant, that's all language is about...
It's HDD, meaning Hard Disk Drive, so as to not be confused with HD, High Definition.

I need more colours than just green.
Death to badly designed intranets then...

I do recall plants emitting co2 as well, maybe we should shop them all up? Wait... Then we'd all die... Similar to computers in that way for me :D
