The Gecko based browsers are on the Mac, and Safari is based on KHTML (Konqueror). They seem to perform nearly identically to their Linux counterparts. As for IE, it was spawned off the early 5 series on the PC so it has it's own quirks, but since Microsoft has said they aren't releasing any new versions everyone is switching to Safari. I would think your safest bet is to test on the most recent releases of Konqueror. I can't really address OS 8 and 9 users, but I think many of them run Netscape 4.75.

Did you read the article? She got most of her email addresses from other spammers (millions in fact). So saying that she isn't doing anything wrong means that if you've signed up to receive email from ANYWHERE ANYTIME automatically allows every spammer in the world to contact you.
Unfortunately, you're looking at the theoretical maximums for film. The reality of most shots is far different. The contrast range isn't an issue for 99.9% of the population either, since prints only have a contrast range of around 100:1.
The biggest difference right now is color accuracy. Until the Foveon chip reaches 11 Megapixels, we won't have anywhere NEAR the color range of film.

and excellent summary of the topic.
Flash memory can only be written to approx. 100,000 times in any one spot before it will fail. Flash drives (and compact flash) will try to distribute the load, but if you have anything running that is caching to the drive it can wear out quickly. So things like the tmp directory should go in RAM.
I agree that tape is far better for long term storage, but 100 DVD-R or even DVD-RW discs can be purchased for under $100. A single DLT 40/80 tape will set you back $48. So DVD is by far the cheaper solution.
I agree in part. The last thing people need is for a bunch of incomplete patches to be made to the public.
However, if they wanted to play nice with the GPL, they should at least allow anonymous cvs access to their code while it's under development. Even if no one would really like to use the code yet.
Step 1: Build business. Dominate broadband. Step 2: Get caught up in dot com mania. Spend 6 billion on dot com in search of a business model. Step 3: Spend a few years trying to recover from step 2. Step 4: Chapter 11
The biggest failing of his argument is in his first statement. If you've followed PC prices for the last couple of years, you'll notice that none of the major PC manufacturers will sell ANYTHING below $750. You can go out and build a machine for half of that, but for the big PC companies there isn't enough of a profit margin for them to bother. Besides, people always prefer to buy the latest and greatest systems which won't drop from the low $2000s to below $350 any time soon.
Having put them in my office a few years ago, I must say I love them. The only problem is that you must do it to EVERY room. Otherwise, other rooms become obviously yellow (or pink or green if you have fluorescent).
Playstation 2 had manufacturing problems at launch, and since they had no competition at the time, it was in Nintendo's best interest to create an artificial shortage for the extra publicity. I know this because Toys R Us had pre-printed posters for the PS2 that said "Sold Out" a week before they even started selling them.

"What the article fails to mention is that is the very speed rate @Home offered before going into bankruptcy."
I believe the 6 BILLION dollars they paid for Excite had more to do with it than their bandwidth.
Of course, if you plug this thing into a GameBoy SP you'll get an upside-down picture up your nose.

It's only their biggest franchise (and it originated on the Game Boy). If this isn't in the list, then all the data must be suspect.
