OK. wrong choice of words in the title. I do download browser only, BUT what I'm saying is I don't even want those options to be there.
I mean look at the menus, all the subscription crap is still showing in there, the email crap. In the configuration options it's all there.
I'm talking about all that stuff not even being there. No extra code allowed for any of that stuff.
Just a LEAN, MEAN BROWSING MACHINE! And all those damn toolbars! all I need is forward, backwards, refresh, stop, home. Ta daaa...nice and simple. Oh and an address bar.
No "Personal" or "Links" toolbar that, by default, is filled with the "approved" websites or Favorites that's already full of Microsoft crap that only AOLites look at like the sheep that they are.
No Search button that will automatically send me to the "approved" search sites.
More bloatware. Of course AOL owns them now so it's AOLware.
What is it with throwing everything into a web browser nowadays? All I want is a web browser with java capabilities, security for on-line ordering, and ability for plug-ins (shockwave, etc) for multimedia.
I DON'T want integrated email. I DON'T want integrated HTML editor. I DON'T want automatic upgrades. I DON'T want channels, subscriptions, etc. I DON'T want messaging, chat, etc. I DON'T want fancy schmancy crap.
Just a SMALL, STABLE WEB BROWSER to view WEB PAGES. NOT some totally integrated internet appliance software or whatever. Think I better learn to program now. What's the best language to do this in? C++? C? FORTRAN? hehehe
I support Novell over NT (I use, support and administrate both here at work) but what I think Novell fails to realize is that Microsoft is in their own little world.
so when MS says Novell doesn't support disk striping, it's MICROSOFT's definition of disk striping, not the industry standards definition of it.
Kinda like that kid in the schoolyard who hates losing so they keep changing the rules as you play to prevent them from losing.
The only place I've seen The Young Ones was on MTV many years ago when MTV was good.:) I taped 'em all but those tapes are all falling apart from continuous watchings. They do rent them at my local Blockbuster.
My favorite British TV comedies over here: Monty Python Fawlty Towers Blackadder The Young Ones Red Dwarf Are You Being Served? French and Saunders Chef Mr. Bean (I guess this isn't really a series or show...how do they show it out there?)
I think out of those, Chef (or is it "Chef!" ?)is the most current. What kind of shows do they have their currently?
Currently only Red Dwarf and Are You Being Served are being played out here on PBS in the Twin Cities, MN.
well. it never said "7M for a real working military class Harrier jet" either. It SHOWED the jet (fake or not...) and the 7M under it so it was implying that you would get what you SAW for th 7M and that would be the "model" jet. (Probably just a mockup made with 2x4s and some fiberglass or something.)
Any thinking person would have called Pepsi to verify such an outrageous claim before even collecting the $700,000. This guy's a moron plain and simple.
Any thinking person wouldn't have given it a second thought that this was a fake prize in the first place.
Pepsi gave the American public a commercial assuming we as a country are smart enough to differentiate between rational and irrational. I guess Pepsi was wrong...
time to start sticking "Don't force this or any metallic object into your brain" stickers on forks I guess.

OK, I see that the article is about offering it on a desktop. As far as I can tell Dell doesn't offer Solid State drives on desktops.
I don't know why you'd want such a small drive on a desktop but c'est la vie.
/ I suppose you can have it as your system drive for faster boot times?
// wait a minute, slashies on slashdot? That's a paddlin'
funny, I was checking out the Dell choices the other day since finding out my company has a discount.
They offer a 128GB solid state drive option on their XPS M1730 notebook.
I don't know how long they've offered that but it seems that Dell does have that option.
