(preface: I'm a Windows *, Linux, Solaris, and OS X user.)
I have come to realize that on a laptop (like my iBook) with a touch-pad or a pointy-stick, one button is much easier to use than two buttons. Using the pointer devices on laptops requires you to contort your hand to use the other button (to right drag or get a menu, usually what I'm doing with it).
However, with OS X and one button, I simply use 'ctrl' with my left. Both hands stay in a natural position and (IMO) this is much faster than right clicking in windows (on one of my pc laptops).
When using a mouse, however, I like the convenience of having two buttons and a scroll wheel, so that's what I plug in (right clicking yields a context-menu, even in "classic" which I don't use).
to the ads we would still not buy a stupid X whatever video camera.
the problem is that the X10 pop-under ads that really started the pop-under craze were wildly successful and continue to be (read: many other people using web-browsers are succeptible to them).

Actually no. It's so that the flight crew has your complete attention in case of an emergency. That way, nobody is listening to his walkman, and nobody has his computer on his lap. It's essentially the same reason that you put your tray-tables and seat-backs up... so you can get out of your seat and run to an exit if there's a crash!
Well, just to prove that they JUST DON'T GET IT Sprint PCS charges by the minute. You check your email and there is none: 16 seconds, 110 bytes, $0.39.
To be clear. Sprint PCS charges
$0.39/minute for "data" calls, plus it uses up minutes accoring to your plan.
or
about $6/month for "Wireless Web" which gives you "data" calls and "WAP" (built-in phone.com browser) browsing which use up your minutes according to your plan (but no extra charges)
It's not the best, it's not the worst.
I checked in with AT&T, they charge the same.
AT&T wireless has free "pocket net" service but you have to buy the worst phones they sell (Ericsson). Sadly the Nokia phones don't do it. AT&T's "pocket net" -- from my understanding -- uses the same BellSouth network that Palm VII (Palm.net?) uses; thus is uses a totally different frequency and stuff to access, it's not just a matter of making a "data call".
You can pay more (2 other pay levels) to get a pop-box and some other stuff (not sure what).
....So you are physically setting up a PPP session with an ISP and running an IP stack. What a bunch of idiots. Wireless data network my ass.
Yup. It's slow too. But it works. I use Sprint PCS for this data-stuff, and it's functional, but not amazing.
(Okay, I agree with the first part).. but don't be so ignorant to say that it costs nothing to make a record. I have a friend who is an anazing jazz pianist, and she's about 30K in the hole for producing her record. Yes the record companies screw everyone, but not everyone is Ani DiFranco and can market and sell their own music and be a publicity agent. Please look from different angles.
I buy music becuase it supports the artists, and I like the quality

Well, it's good to the hackers are the only ones who suffer from News Media Term Re-Definition Syndrome.
I suggest we make a new name "The Wired Effect" for overloading websites linked to by/.

By suing M$, we will get a huge company's resources (M$) fighting this; surely this will add case law against rediculous software patents!
With any luck, this will be a step in the right direction.
You are correct regarding U.S. trademark law, and it might be suprising to see this ruling (though not impossible) in the U.S.
This may imply something important is broken in the OS, or in the latest Office. In either case, it's important for Apple to keep it working.
What about some combination of keys and the trackpad?
hold "fn" and move your finger. This would not require you to know the position on the pad, just the x,y movement (or y, for vertical only scrolling).

Because "sampled" music author gets paid royalties by the "sampler."
(Remember Vanilla Ice and Queen/Bowie over "Under Pressure" and "Ice Ice Baby." Ultimately Queen/Bowie got writing credits and therefore, royalties.)

sounds like 2 NT problems to me.
Microsuck.
That's pretty neat. Worth a look (if your java works).
Perl is as structured as you make it. It's up to the programmer. That's the way Larry wants it.
Down down down to the ground.
really.
It is a bad word, and don't use it. Stop talking about it. I'm starting to be sad, and cry.
