When I browse the Internet on the phone, I find myself wishing that more sites offered mobile versions, but only because the only thing I want is the content. I can even do without pictures and graphics altogether.
Slipstream SP2 onto the SP1 XP disc. Slipstreaming is the process of converting an installation disk to a higher service pack (well, that's what I think it is!) A bit of Google and you should be there in an hour or so.
I've got an E52 and Skyfire is useless on it. On that device to get viable web browsing you need something that reformats the page and then serves it through a proxy. That means Opera as far as I can tell.
Why select a minority platform with no devices? Surely someone sane would develop for S60 and perhaps iPhone first (perhaps because Safari probably quite entrenched with iPhone users).
Surely humans can produce well in excess of 250W. The problem with these things is poor handling due to battery weight and their inability to go uphill again down to weight. Once the hill is steep enough it's harder than without battery assistance! Wouldn't want to ride one of these in San Francisco!
I don't have a TV so I guess you are wrong there. Why wouldn't you want a default config. I have a computer because I want to use it. I'm not actually interested in messing around configuring it - I just want to use it! When I was 15 I was interested in hacking around, not now I'm a time limited adult!
If nobody uses network cables, why do all machines have them? And what are all those cables that we use at my office?
I got my mother's new laptop onto a wireless network over the phone at the weekend. All you have to do was choose the right SSID and then type in a password. Really, how hard is that?
I seriously doubt the knighthood was anything to do with the vacuous X-men/Trek work. Much more likely to be related to his work on the stage. I recently saw him in Waiting for Godot (alongside Sir Ian McKellen) and he was magnificent even though I've not got much time for that particular play.
Windows and Office are both excellent. Also MSE. There's Dreamweaver too. Also Delphi. Don't forget.net which is pretty amazing. Visual Studio. What about Skype. Lots of excellent software is closed source. I personally don't really care how the software is made. I think it's much more important to judge the end product rather than the process by which it was made. The latter attitude strikes me as being similar to holding religious beliefs.
Now you are just making me laugh. Dragging with the mouse works out of the box. Since this is a thread about keyboard access to windowing operations in what possible sense does that answer the original question? I'm sure linuxhater would put all all much more succinctly!
To achieve similar level of customization and comfort on a mac or windows pc, I needed to spend comparable time locating and researching the respective "well integrated" and "well thought out" tools, and I'm still not as happy with the result."
Or, on Win 7, you could just use WIN+SHIFT+left/right to move the windows onto different screens. Works out of the box.
The toolchain described isn't at all integrated. You have to integrate it yourself. Fine for techies but not really practical for the majority of computer users. Frankly these built in capabilities are long overdue even in Windows. I've had multi-monitor setup for many years now going back to my first xp machine.
Oh that sounds much more fun than just using well thought out, well integrated built in features. I'm so glad I don't have to use something like Mac or Windows!

Windows is great for developers.

You need Opera Mini.

On certain devices (e.g. anything smaller than iPad) a redisplay browser allows you to read the web quicker and more effectively than a full browser.
most open and friendly to developers
For a moment there I thought you were referring to Windows Mobile. That said, I wouldn't describe any Linux platform as being friendly to developers.
I've got an E52 and Skyfire is useless on it. On that device to get viable web browsing you need something that reformats the page and then serves it through a proxy. That means Opera as far as I can tell.
Because after all there are so many more phones running Windows Mobile and Maemo than Symbian
Er, I think you'll find that Symbian outnumbers Windows Mobile / Maemo combined by a very great distance indeed.
I'm not a great fan of Opera Mobile, partly because I've got so used to Opera Mini which I think is fantastic.
I know N900 is not Symbian, hence my post. Interesting point you make that the development for FF mobile in Maemo was done by Nokia!

I just plugged in the network cable and the job was done. What's so hard?

The gnu toolset can compiled natively on Windows so why would you want to use cygwin as a shell?

If you don't like the prattle put some ear plugs in. No wonder software is mostly crap if you lot are listening to music whilst writing it!

I wasn't assuming anything since, unlike you, I actually read the original submission.
That sounds like a four fingered shortcut. That's actually quite a physical challenge to perform it.
Or do you press ALT+F7, release and then do SHIFT+arrow? Even so it's not totally trivial.
