"Microsoft's recent subscription pricing plan"? Microsoft has no "recent subscription pricing plan". All that talk ever was, was a lot of paranoia talk from people who didn't really know what Microsoft meant as "software as a service" when.NET first came out.
Someone link me to more information about this "recent subscription pricing plan", please. Karma awaits!
While Opera is not unique in its abilities to open links in new windows, it has many features which make this a very efficient way to navigate pages. On a page like slashdot, I open each new link in a new window. Like this, my navigation becomes more like a tree, which is more natural and reflects the nature of the internet a bit better. A better browsing metaphor based on this idea would be great.
Now here I am, after staying up more than twenty six hours working on a distributed computing project intended to break the MD5 algorithm, and at first glance of this article I think someone has beaten me.
If you stupid idiotic Microsoft people would think...
What would Microsoft do if they were ever going to do "the right thing"? Would they release a specification for a cross-platform runtime for a variety of different languages, and submit it to open standards comittees and encourage people to make implementations of this runtime and development environment? Don't you see how this plays against the supposed Microsoft monopoly theory?
With the mono project, you will very soon be able to run.EXE and.DLL files produced with Microsoft's Visual Studio.NET tools under Linux. Microsoft will be supporting and putting forward a runtime based upon open standards, for which there already exist three different runtimes targetting unix and which are open source.
Now that Microsoft is finally pushing what people wanted the web browser to become, a cross-platform runtime based upon openly documented standards for their exe files, no longer monopolizing the platform... you paraniod and uneducated children are REJECTING it as part of Microsoft's ploy to take over the world.
Microsoft is doing the one thing that makes sense for them to do. It's the perfect thing for them to do to sponsor open standards and platforms. And then, you anti-Microsoft children are paranoid of THAT as well. I bet Bill Gates is getting a big laugh out of that minor detail... and rightly so..NET is a runtime based upon open standards. It is a runtime that will run Microsoft's newest.EXE format as put out by Visual Studio, the only version they offer any more. They release this runtime for FreeBSD and MacOS. This is evil and monopolistic, obviously, in the sharing and cross-platform way.
At the most basic level, this has to do with freedom of speech. Through their search results, and the ranking thereof, Google is simply publishing an opinion. It may be an opinion generated by computer algorithms in the form of search results, but it is still an opinion. SearchKing has about as much right to sue Google over this than some movie producer has to sue a reviewer for a bad movie review.
"Service Pack 1 for Windows XP itself is not readily accessible to consumers, and thus the mechanism purportedly settling the antitrust case is, by definition, not readily accessible," ProComp wrote in the letter.
By default, Windows XP would automatically download SP1 in the background, then prompt the user to install it.
ProComp said Microsoft's second violation is that Service Pack 1 neglects to provide Start Menu access to the middleware control, and doesn't include a short-cut icon to the control on the desktop.
When installed, the "middleware control" is put on the top of the start menu. No, the short-cut icon wasn't put on the desktop, the only thing Microsoft puts on the desktop is the Recycle Bin (No, not even Internet Explorer)
The third violation, ProComp charges, is that the middleware control is not intuitive and comes with no Help file for understanding how to use it.
What's "not intuitive" about it? There's an option for "Microsoft" and "Non-Microsoft" , and "Custom"... then option boxes for each installed option.
The group's allegation regarding a sixth violation rapped Microsoft for failing to include in the middleware control an option to disable Microsoft's.Net Framework Common Language Runtime, an alternative to Sun's Java Virtual Machine.
Microsoft's.NET CLR doesn't compete with Sun's JVM... it doesn't perform quite the same function... similar technology, but not a replacement of functionality.

I have an Athlon Tbird at 1.4Ghz, 512MB of RAM, and a Geforce 2 MX 200 with 64MB, 2x AGP. After booting up, logging in, and doing "x-setup", it says, "no screens found". Anyone else with this problem?
aside from all the hardware issues involved, Familiar Linux, a distro for handheld computers like the iPaq, already does this. If you take out a compact flash card (IDE Device) it recognizes it, and unmounts it, and if you put one in, it mounts it and everything. I don't know how it works, exactly... just that it does. Check out http://familiar.handhelds.org/
that's why I suggested adding 80 to 2^16 and setting your proxy to connect at that port. It's the same port, the auto-proxy-router thing just wouldn't see it as such.
Or, you could use your own proxy server, like Squid for UNIX or AnalogX Proxy for Win32. You might try something like the port + 65536 rule. Port 80 becomes port 65616 or something (That may not be precise), and that would confuse your router, but still be port 80. I used a similar trick to get around similar proxying at school.
You can use netcat to route your own port 80 traffic. Simply get a good UNIX shell account, and configure your router to direct to that. It becomes a real version of what you would be trying to do. However, I would bitch like crazy if my ISP did anything like that to me. If I want to connect to port 80 on something, I would want to be connecting to such port 80. Any fiddling with it would sure make me drop that ISP in an instant.
Many people have pointed out many times in the comments here the very obvious problem regarding the lack of tactile feedback with this keyboard system. There doesn't seem to be a good way around that one. The only thing I could think of are little things on your fingers that give force feedback "clicks". That would possibly make it feel a bit more realistic. Perhaps they could use the technology of the Logitech iFeel mouse, just on a miniature scale, and one for each finger. The same things giving the feedback could also provide more information as to where the fingers are and what they're doing, which would possibly enhance the ability of the device to tell what you mean to be typing. For me, there will always be the IBM Model M keyboard.
Mozilla is (partially) GPL too. There are good and bad sides to the GPL... it's a tricky issue for sure. There's a good criticism of it here... in my opinion, there are extreme views either way. But, a company (or a Kompany) has to make money. But really, a copyright and its terms would be just as enforcable on open source code as it would be for a fiction, paperback book, wouldn't it?

You could also use a third party proxy server. You can find gobs of them here:

and here:

Or, you could use your own proxy server, like Squid for UNIX or AnalogX Proxy for Win32. You might try something like the port + 65536 rule.
