Well. Demilitarization or not, the Japanese Self-Defence Force is quite a formidable force from what I've learned. Some 250 000 men and one of the worlds highest budgets.
The european PS2 is said to be different from US/Japanese (or maybe only different from the japanese) due to the different market.
DVD isn't as popular here yet, so the thought is for us Europeans to buy PS2 to play games _and_ movies, and apparently the DVD software decoding on the japanese PS2 has been said to suck:)
DVD playing in hardware is what I heard they included and didn't they also include some sort of basic? To try getting it classed as a computer:)

Mozilla XUL/XBL/JS is fun. Making XPCOM components is fun. I wish GNOME had nice C++ support.
If you took the time to understand what Mozilla can do, and how its built up. You would see that it is a lot more than a browser, I mean *A LOT*.
Mozilla is a browser, an irc client, a ftp client, a news reader, a development platform (komodo), a web authoring tool. It's not only a browser, it's an application framework.
I must just point out that comparing Mozilla with konqueror is quite unfair if you know what is going on underneath the different beasts. AFAIK konqueror/khtml(?) is not aimed at being cross-platform(XPFE), it does not contain a whole new cross-platform widget set(XUL/XBL), or a cross-platform component architechture(XPCOM).
I would say that Mozilla is more complex than GIMP at least, since platform portability induces a lot of complexity.
Taking that in consideration, and reminding oneself that the Mozilla team lost a year in trying to make something of the old mozilla code, I'd say it progresses quite nicely.
I'm a bit surprised noone have mentioned them already. Where I'm in charge of the computer network I name all (new) machines after WOT (that is Wheel Of Time)-characters.
At home I have Lanfear, Aviendha and Moghedien.
At work there's Liandrin and Moiraine. (My boss wanted to call the new SGI-machine "blue" but I wouldn't let him:)

Or maybe not.

Well, do you own a legit version of windows? If so I assume you paid for it, and as IE is part of windows, you paid for it as well :)
Yes, I'm aware of that you can run IE (slow, buggy, weird) under Solaris, although I'm not familiar with licensing issues in that case.
A lot of people seem to think that IE, IS and other hideously-named MS products bundled with different MS Operating System are free.
Let's add some entries to that list of yours.

No.
It means that you don't understand 1. how a garbage collector works, and/or 2. how complex a modern software project of Mozillas size is.

Nah, a sure sign of a clueless moron is someone calling another person "a clueless moron" and not even managing to spell his own signature correctly.
But then again, what can you expect from an illiterate teenagers.
Personally, I'd give The Sparrow and its successor, Children of God, 7.5 out of 10.
BTW, the author has won the Arthur C. Clarke award.

Let's hope the trend continue so I could someday own a Sandbender[1].
