Moz's 'tabbed browsing' is just a nasty hack copy compared to Opera's MDI.
Say you check the same half dozen website every day, well in Opera you can have all 6 together as a multi-home page setup. You start Opera & they all come up together with their own tabs.
Save a random sample of obviously different sourced web files off the web onto your hard drive, then comparing remdering times, between IE (Mac, Windows, Solaris), the Geckos (Moz being the main one), Konq & the various Operas (like Gecko its cross platform). Most of the time Opera comes 1st.
You see all the others have some codebase that originated from Mosaic. Opera's code's fresh, it has no bloated/hacked legacy Mozaic code in it.
Have you seen what those office specialist places charge that corporates & govt depts have accounts with?
It much cheaper just to give employees petty cash & send them to the local bargain basement shop in the mall & tell them to buy what they want & bring back a receipt.
Body language & gestures don't work well in emails.
Plus someone getting up & explaining something on a white board for some reason actually works better that a white board networked work station program
I've never use anti-virus stuff & I've never got them.
Which people ask me what anti-virus software to used. I tell them not to click anything they're not sure about. Especially file attachments with a 'X' or 'V' in the file extention.
Don't use outlook
& make sure 'veiw file extensions' or whatever is enabled in Windows explorer's view menu options. So they arn't tricked by a holidaypic.jpg.ocx or whatever attachment
Afterall it is basically a Psion with GSM capabilities. Its even has the same format, so why no 'fair dinkum' Psion keys instead of those poxie buttons.?
Talk about bloody ridiculous, you need a differeant app depending on whether you are using KDE (Brahms) or Gnome (GLAME). Ontop of that you need a bloody different PKG format depending on whether you are using a Debian based distribution or a Redhat based distribution.
This is ridiculous.
If bloody MS can come up with a common development API/PKG format for 2 completely unrelated OSes, DOS based Win9X & VMS inspired WinNT/2K/XP (out of the hundreds of apps I've used on my Windows partitions, on 'n off, I've only come across 2 that didn't work in NT/XP, ontop of that my version of StudioMax says it'l will only work in NT/2K yet it works fine in 98SE), then there's absolutely no reason that all X86 nixs (QNX, SCO, linux, Solaris, etc) can't have a a common API/PKG format, let alone different distributions of Linux.
The fact is that Linux will never be a success on the Desktop with this mess.
Ontop of that there's people out there who I s'pose who expect their grandmas to recompile all the software they download or purchase, before they use it. Give me a break.
Or you can buy Book PC cases in LPX, NLX, MicroATX or FlexATX format, & build the bugger yourself. Many companies make them, including Enlight ( 7180-mATX , EN-7396 ) & Asus/ElanVital
Nvidia Make a EV6 bus Nforce chipset for the Athlon.
The Xbox has a GTL+ bus Nforce chipset.
The logic on both are the same, the only differance is the main CPU-RAM-chipset bus type.
I think even the joystick ports on the Xbox are just USB ports with a different plug on it.
AFAIK all that needs hacking to load a X86 OS onto it would be its ROM BIOS. Mind you I'd assume only X96 OSes that support the NForce chipset would work.
Which I assume most of the current ones, that is if Nvidia wants to sell many Athlon chipsets.
Yes it would be good to turn a XBox into a x-box, especially with MS subsidising the cost of each Xbos by $200 or something.
& look at their reliance on gadgets, no wonder they couldn't cope with peasents in pyjamas in the jungle with nothing but Kalashnikovs & RPGs, & had to resort to defolients.
Hence its no wonder how pissed they are at UBL et alle - they were able to take out more than 3000 Americans & many billions in American real estate simply through the use of Stanley knives & by putting their own lives on the line.
Something that US Special forces wouldn't pull off without millions in high tech gadgets etc & would probably fuck up.
When I'm in Opera, with 'block popups' enabled, rightclicking & opening in a new window still works.
Unlike IE with a anti-popup applet (don't matter which), which gives you a prompt whether the popup just poped up, or you right clicked & asked for it.
Really a update of the old IDT Winchip, but given the Cyrix brandname.
Its cool enough to use passive cooling, ie a fanless heatsink.
Or just under clocking works well too.
The AMD Athlon 4 mobil processor is really just a T'bird Athlon of about 1500mhz or something that's been clocked & volted down to 1000mhz.
I'd say virtually any chip that can be clocked up without increasing the voltage should be able to be clocked down giving the potential for a good volt drop & corresponding heat drop.

Where you you have a 25 page print out with just 4 pages of intructions that one can actually read

Most of the time its heap faster
Just do some tests yourself.

are stable as..
While Moz is still a bit young.

They are hoping you checked it.
That's the beuty of open source, if the official development team don't want a bar of you, you can say 'fuck you' & fork their app.
As we all know its OpenGL, so its useless uing it to test DirectX implimentation in WINE

those bloody buttons look pathetic
So its no big market loss.
USB2 needs a PC in the middle.
For example you can plug a firewire camera directly into a Firewire portable hardrive & tranfer data across.
You need a computer between the 2 to do that with USB2
Well for the desktop anyway.

Don't lets start on dependency hell.
Everyone calls it firewire, because its bloody easier.
'fy-er-why-er' is a lot easier to say than 'eye-ee-ee-ee-thirt-teen-nine-te-for' or just 'thirt-teen-nine-te-for', both sylable wise & grammatically
Just use that spray on vinyl dye that car detailers use to change the colour of car interiors.
.
Afterall the vast majority of computers have plastic bevels, while the metal sides are painted with acrylic paint.
You can buy a PC Chips S370 'bare bones' book PC (its even avaliable in black as the 'Delux' model with IR keyboard & mouse/remote

Americans like to wage war without the natural justice of having casualties.
look at their reliance on air superiority, It's gotten to the stage that their mountain troops don't even do mountains

The actual U571 was taken out by a RAAF Sunderland of RAF Coastal Command.
I've been using it for yonks & it's always had tabbed browsing

Its that simple
