Even better. If you have search engines enabled, just start typing in the URL window, then click "search google for..."
You configure this under Edit->Preferences->Navigator->Internet Search
Also, kill the search button in Edit->Preferences->Navigator
Google toolbar provides several other useful functions. The two I would miss most are:
Typing text in the google search entry also adds those words to the toolbar. If you click on them, they are searched in the page.
There is an "up" buttom, which brings you to the page from which the current page is a child.
Are those things possible in Mozilla?
KDE as replacement for Windows Explorer?

KDE 2.1 Is Out

KDE has many merits, and probably the reason for its success has much to do with the use of Qt. Talk about toolkit wars you want, but the KDE team chose Qt even when it wasn't GPL. The decision was clearly based on technical capability. Just visit Trolltech's site to see a small list of big companies that have invested in Qt. And the toolkit is fully cross-platform. There is clearly no toolkit of comparison.
Cross-platform mostly means: Windows and Linux, I guess. But anyway, there is a crazy idea which keeps nagging at me. With Windows, you can change the desktop manager which you use. Default is the Windows Explorer, which give you the familiar look and feel. But you could change it for example to the Taskmanager, and do away with all the stuff the Explorer provides (like the taskbar, etc). You know what I'm aiming at: if KDE can be built using something like Cygwin, with the Windows-version of Qt, you could replace the desktop manager of Windows with KDE.
Theoretically. Please tell me if I'm wrong. I don't know how much KDE relies on specific Linux internals.
"CNET is reporting that Napster has offered to pay the music industry $1 billion over 5 years for the rights to unlimited music swapping. That works out to $1.67/month/user with 50 million users."
There are 60 months in 5 years, not 12. So it should be $0.33/month/user, right?
I have upgraded from NT to Windows 2000 and can now use the feature "Windows Update" to get patches and such. When I try it, it fires up IE and I get the error: "Error on page: object expected". This is a Windows platform, using Internet Explorer, accessing the Microsoft homepage.
