this technique is already in use for about 10 years, videos are projected on a paper video wall, sensors pick up the bullet holes and recalculate or steer the video accordingly.. nothing new really I don't see what a fog screen can add here

Just because something runs on $FREE_OS i assume it will run faster,better,longer,nicer AND cheaper. That in my book means it outperforms any windows app.

read the thread so you actually know what i'm on about. next to rtfa slashdot needs a rtft
well sometimes i'm typing a url, then realize that i can't remember it anymore and decide to do a search instead.. the mozilla feature is absolutely the way of least resistance for this.. I know I'm having a bit of a wank over this thread but i do use it a lot honestly. I was using firebird from 0.3 onwards, then dumped it again because the feature wasn't there.
too many freakin' keys to press, i can hang a firebird shortcut reminder next to my monitor, just like i have one for vi!
The mozilla feature is elegant, self containing and requires the least thought and energy to use. Very important if you use it a *lot*.
thanks for proving my point !
Mozilla wins this by only using 2 keys, firebird needs at least three. Also i don't like the constant switching between search and adress bar, it's brainenergy that does not have to be spent.
Why is it that GUI bloat is preached as the ultimate sin everywhere else but this feature is considered to be usefull ?

they would have to change it to the Mozilla style google search of course.
The whole point of my rant is that i want to be able to search google and i want to do this *quick*, that means the less keys i have to press the better. Now when using the goto or google keyword i would have to type that in wouldn't I ? If i copied something from the clipboard and want to search for it then i would have to prepend this keyword to the searchstring... all soooo unnecessary with the wonderfull mozilla feature.

nice, but that would require me to navigate to the googlebar, type something there and press enter. I don't want to navigate to the googlebar, i have my addressbar already which is quite suitable for this task as well. I consider the googlebar rather to be "bloatware". Don't need the extra inputbox sorry:)
True, but it *first* does a dns lookup on the keyword , if it's not valid it assumes i must've put in a search term and then it goes off to google. So there is always like a 1.5 - 2 second delay which I am not prepared to live with.
It's also very inconsistent and from a GUI point of view a "hidden" feature and thus not user friendly. I hope they change this behaviour in one of the upcoming releases.

in mozilla, type something in the adress bar , press down key and you get "search google for" , press enter and boom results are there.
I don't want to switch to a different search field or even set up parameterized keywords to do this.. Google search with 2 keys (down + enter) is for me the killer feature as i do this well over a hundred times per day
If i'm eavesdropping on a quantumencrypted connection to gain some highly sensitive information then i could not care *less* if they can only see that i was listening in... Sometimes all that matters is that you actually get the information, whether anybody knows i found out or not is not important.
On a different note: do the photons change state just before you intercept/read them, while you're reading them or after you've finished reading them? I would assume the latter, otherwise the recipient also won't be able to read them without changing... All very confusing stuff to me:)

I feel sad for the chick who is clearly being exploited to show off the MH's size.
Thousands of these chicks die every year around easter after being mistreated horribly by some annoying little brat who just had to have one for Easter. And now this guy used one to demonstrate the size of his microhelicopter that nobody but the military cares about!

it had to happen sooner or later : mozillazine
although he did get the chick in the end ... oh well
It's called "slashdotted for sure" ...
wooo a coffincam , imagine seeing the corps rotten day after day.. now that must be worth a few banners i'm sure!

svg handles timeline based animations , but no sound. Maybe one could use the scripting feature to trigger sound play, but there is no native support.

darn should've used preview... and maybe put a list of html tags next to my monitor as well :) sorry for the bold font
