How long 'till we see these exact same features in Konqueror and Mozilla?
That's because it isn't such a bad idea.
How many times do you see a URL listed on a web page that isn't a link? It'd be nice if the browser could at least make those links automatically. It might as well turn some common terms into links while it's at it.
I just can't believe some people are complaining about this.
When I say "don't mail me again" (just like "put me on your do-not-call list) It doesn't mean "sell my addy to somebody else or just continue to send me mail reguardless."
And there has to be an actual way to opt-out.
In one of the junk e-mails that I get, the return addy is always different. It's obviously just one of the addresses on the list. There is no way to opt-out.
As long as that's how they are going to do business (forever, no matter what the laws say), I'd rather see an opt-in model enforced.
And any pain related to typing is "Carpel Tunnel" just because that's the word for it nowadays.
My right wrist gets store, mostly from using the mouse. Anybody's thumbs get sore from playing video games too long. You get sore. But like the article says, that doesn't mean it's an injury or medical condition.
I have a suspision that anybody wearing braces on their wrists and taking pain killers might not have tried the most common sense approach to soothing their pain: doing something else. Taking a break. Riding a bike. Anybody wearing a brace without seeing a doctor first is probably causing themselves more harm than good.
I always read the article before posting, but I'm starting to think I should read the article before reading the comments too.
The summary is so often misleading, I'd hate it to give me the wrong idea about something.
Kinda like how if you say "I heard some kids were throwing cherry bombs into peoples cars, so make sure your windows are rolled up" even if it's totally false, it still effects people's opinions about kids.
When it comes to the 'net and interacting with the strangers on it, nothing benefits a person more than thinking twice about everything that is read. Teach active thinking about subjects on the internet instead of taking everything as fact like you would an encyclopedia on the shelf.
No, I'm not saying kids should be told to be wary of "bad men" around every corner, but as another poster said, make the computer screen display "2 + 2 = 5"
We don't need a whole generation of people learning how to interact with others on the 'net the hard way.. by feeding the trolls and flaming away at anybody who disagrees only to feel alienated or embarassed later.
If your mouse isn't in the right spot, you just pick it up and move it. Does this device have a way to do the same thing?
A "virtual typing" application could be useful. A keyboard might be less stressful and infinitely more configurable if you didn't have to physically touch any keys.
MFC totally baffled me, but I picked up swing in a week and I can do anything with it.
Maybe I never gave MFC a chance, but Java's gui has been really easy for me (but way too slow).

When I'm feeling high tech I go into the living room and play them on the Pioneer that has dolby noise reduction.

I'm more worried about the pr0n potential of a Mr. Potato Head Massager.

I still don't know my times tables.
I refuse to use ogg or mp3, as probably others do (not have sound cards like me)

Are they going to hike up the price of an upgrade after that time?
